THERE NEEDS TO BE A SECOND SEASON ?
This series is so damn good . The actors has such great chemistry it had me on the edge of my bed twirling my hair . DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED on the MUSIC, ITS SO GOOD , ROMANTIC DEVIL is the perfect song for semantic error , i streamed that song so much , and it’s so catchy! The story is an enemies to lovers troupe which plays out VERY GOOD in this series. Their chemistry flowed perfect and this set really deserves a second season. I have rewatched this series countless times and I recommend people to read the MANHWA and NOVEL of this series cause it’s so good.Was this review helpful to you?
Refreshing, simple and cute
From the moment I started watching the first episode, I knew this would be another one of those BLs with the little scenes worth repeating over and over again. Though the storyline is nothing new, I absolutely loved the polar-opposite characters of Jae Young and Sang Woo - seeing their interactions made me laugh, smile and die every single time.Definitely a step-up from the previous Korean BLs I've seen, probably even surpassing To My Star in my opinion. It doesn't help that Jae Young is so charismatic in all areas, and Sang Woo is adorable even when he tries to act mad or grumpy. Just the perfect dose of cuteness and fangirling moments that every BL watcher could hope for.
If you're still reading this, don't know why you're still here - go watch it now!

CHEMISTRY IS THE BEST!!!
I genuinely don’t have anything bad to say about this drama. The acting is top tier. The tension!!! The hatred!!! The face cards!!! The kiss scenes!!! This drama got me blushing so bad like HELLO? Also Jaewon is ONE LUCKY MAN! Zoowey mama😛. I would recommend this BL for a new BL fan because it doesn’t really focus on too heavy subjects. Best enemies to lovers KBL I have watched for sure!Was this review helpful to you?

Love on the Spectrum
I have a huge soft spot for this series. Maybe it's because I'm an autistic adult but it makes me squee that Jaeyoung respects that Sangwoo doesn't like to be touched unexpectedly and warns that he's about to kiss.Sangwoo is absolutely coded autistic. He needs routine to thrive, has a strong sense of justice, sensory issues, can fixate on one thing, etc. It's a relatively stereotypical autistic depiction, and yet it's not stereotypical to the point of getting it wrong.
Sangwoo is thrown by Jaeyoung but also adapts. He has fixed views, but is more flexible than he allows himself to be. He grows over the story and yet is still himself.
Jaeyoung was a complete dick to start with, but he realised he was a complete dick and tries to reverse this.
Jaeyoung and Sangwoo seem like an odd couple, but that's true of many real life couples. Perhaps I'm being too biased because I love this series, but it feels believable that they would grow close despite their differences. They complement each other.
Sangwoo's confession to Jaeyoung ("You're like an error. Bad personality and have no sense of time. You're also capricious and irrational.") is the sweetest and most romantic moment in any BL I've watched.
This gets 10/10 overall and especially for the three most standout scenes:
The drunk kiss
Sangwoo's confession
The end post credit scene
The post credit scene is the most realistic depiction of two people in a relationship. They are comfortable in each other's presence. Jaeyoung just leans against Sangwoo as the latter works. They're supportive of each other, even with disagreements. They sense each other ("We won't finish today if you keep looking at me like that.") The scene shows what a real non toxic relationship should feel like.
Semantic Error is my comfort watch series.

Overall I absolutely enjoyed it and though there are some parts of the manhwa I wish they had added like the detail that Jaeyeong is in fact bi and not just some straight dude and also that he has a twin it was still a great watch and I totally plan on
rewatching it again.

Korean BL is a gift that keeps on giving.
Even though it is a cliched enemy-lover story but we all know how exciting those kinds of storylines are and Semantic Error reaffirmed that with its delivery. Having a bisexual lead fall in love with a robotic and stuck up maybe-straight man was thrilling and the visuals of both actors was enchanting. I was stuck on it and I have rewatched it, you should see it. The kisses were not the 'chu' kind, you can feel the chemistry and the passionate atmosphere between the leads. No toxic person here just two smart and handsome boys in love and selfless about it with an interesting support cast as well. Go ahead and binge, you won't regret it!Was this review helpful to you?
a must-watch for all BL lovers <3
Everything about this series is perfect! The simple story line, the cast, the OST, every moment watching this is bliss! The butterflies were real and every shot were perfection. It really drags you into that moment and that is a definite must for a BL series. I'm definitely hoping for a season 2 but until then, I will surely re-watch this series for the nth time. Kudos to everyone who made this BL soooo exceptional and I also hope that Korean BL series will have longer episodes such as Thai BLs. Nonetheless, I still love them both!Was this review helpful to you?
Stop this was so cute!
This was an adorable, bite-size drama.Story: This was a fun watch. Cool concept and overall entertaining. I did want more from this, I felt like it ended right when it got good. I wish we had an epilogue episode or something.
Acting/Casting: Perfect. I loved everyone! They all played their parts well and I could really feel the chemistry between the main characters!
Music/Visual: This part was well executed. I loved the special effects in each episode. They were such a nice touch!
Re-watch value: I can definitely see myself coming back to watch this one day!

Work of ART!
First of all...i want to take a moment of silence for the people that didn't discover this gem yet! 🙏I keep coming back to it for the Nth time, and each time i discover new things I haven't seen before and enjoy it even more than the last time. i have no idea how it is possible. Seriously, this one is THE Korean BL genre work of art. I mean, "To my star" will always have a special place in my heart, ngl... But this one is right there, a small step higher on the ladder. And i wish so badly for a second season, but I swear "To my star" makes me fear it though :)) Everyone in this drama created such a great environment, everyone had their place and purpose, no one gave the filler feeling or anything like that. The chemistry of the characters was beautiful... Not only the MLs but everyone. So yeah... I doubt there's gonna be other drama to surpass this one. Chef's kiss👏🏻

僕らはきっとそこらにある物じゃ
足りなかった
僕らはずっと
近くの愛をそっと
拾いあってた
凛として何もないアルバムを覗いた
笑ったふりして
帰ろうか
思い出も全部ここに置いて
ここで泣けるシーンが来た数だけ
ほら
忘れ物してんだって
僕らはきっと
涙をそっと拾う、余暇はなかった
だから
僕らはずっと
互いの幸福を、睨みあっている
Es mi primer bl coreano or at least el primero despues de ver un monton de tailandeses y me shockeo todo un poco las dinamicas. Y kinda llegue a conclusiones como que los coreanos son todos re molestos y se hablan con desprecio, sea entre amigos o un superior se tratan mal porque si y un poco me rompe las pelotas aunque es algo comun en todo lo coreano. Y me hizo pensar que los tailandeses son lo mas latino dentro de asia porque por lo menos en los bls nignuno es vergonzoso se tratan todos como familia y son mas mandados, literalmente todo lo contrario a corea que me aburren y molestan en partes igual.
Bueno igual me parecio cute la serie en cuanto a que fue igual que un straight kdrama pero gay,,, o sea no es que crearon todo un estilo nuevo de dramas coreanos sino que es la misma formula solo que con una pareja de chicos pero a la vez eso tambien me molesto kjjj porque I dont even enjoy kdramas that much.... La forma en que el tipo trataba re mal al otro gay nivel acoso HASTA QUE se dio cuenta de que le gustaba y ahi si fue un antes y un despues lo cual esta re mal aidjsakl como vas a torturar a alguien a ese nivel y solo dejar de hacerlo porque lo queres ??
Algo que me gusto creo es que el tipo parecia un actor de straight kdrama no se me hizo acordar al de strong woman do bong soon ?
No tengo muchos comentarios aber me gustaron los dos chicos aunque bueno el otro tipo era un acosador un poco pude ignorar ese hecho para disfrutar de la pareja,,,,, yehhh no se literal escribiendo esto me doy cuenta de que no hay mucho para decir pero tambien puede ser porque son 8 caps de 20 min lo cual tambien es re distinto a los bl tailandeses que duran 5 veces mas, aca ni pudieron profundizar en la pareja ni hubo un conflicto real ni tampoco vemos mucho del post ponerse de novios
En conclusion: HAGAN MEJORES BLS COREA QUE TE CUESTA ACASO SOS HOMOFOBICO (SI)

10/10
This BL is a masterpiece, Seoham and Jaechan are incredible actors and did a terrific job in this drama. I watched this with no breaks in between. In my opinion there was not a single flaw in this drama. The chemistry between the two is out of this world.I’d recommend this drama to anyone no matter what. I hope in the future I can see Seoham & Jaechan in more series together. I’m not too sure but I think there will be a S2 of semantic error once Seoham finishes his military service.
In all, this was definitely worth the watch.

The most beautiful error.
I haven't rewatched a series this many times.For a start, I hated the synopsis and I almost didn't watch this series because it was boring and sounded just like any other BL, but once I started I couldn't stop. It was the cinematography, the build up of emotions, pretty ambient lightings and 100% the actors' chemistry and sync with the characters. (Also the ADLIBS OMG)
After finishing the series, I loved it so much I read the manhwa and I preferred the drama for many reasons, one of them being Jaeyoung in the series was portrayed to be much softer, it's like the personality of Park Seo Ham seeped through.
I also loved the balanced relationship the male leads hold, Sang woo wasn't a lad in distress, he didn't need Jaeyoung to always make the first move. Characters showed personality and growth development, Flow and pace of each scene and episode was just right. Every detail in the series made sense and the adaptation is well thought out.
