An Error which will make you Blush, Giggle and what not!!

It's a Drug and I am addicted and you will be addicted too.

Story- 10/10 (bcz of the simplicity)
Acting- 12/10 (The actors born to be the characters)
Chemistry: 10000/10 (Just watch it and you will agree with me)
OST: 10/10 (The song is just perfect for the story.
The song itself is enough to describe the story)

Everything of this drama is perfect.
The Visual of main leads.
The acting, their Kissing scenes, their chemistry, the sexual tension between them.
And the STORY - yes, the story is addictive and perfect.
Unlike other stories, Author made the characters very normal and enjoyable and weird too. Lol.
I already read the manhwa and I can say that the adaptation is perfect.
This series shows the future of BL. ❤

One of the best BLs I've seen (and rewatched)

This ended up being my first kBL. I was relatively new to watching BLs in general at the time and had only seen a few thai BLs but WOW!?
Semantic Error was such a fresh show for me, the acting was perfect, the chemistry was COOKING. I ended up rewatching the whole show 10 months after watching for the first time and my rating for the show went UP. I had originally put it at a 9/10 but I changed it to a 9.5 The ONLY reason its not a 10/10 was its so so short rip. Not that it needed the typical kdrama 1hr episodes for 16 episodes because tbh I get bored easily. There was not a single slow part and not a single time that I watched on 2x speed (I do this a lot in some of the other BLs). This opened up to me all the other amazing kBLs that I have also come to love. Semantic Error will always have a special place in my heart :)

best bl to ever grace this earth...

if anyone is considering watching, do yourself a favor and start now.

this is the best drama i've ever watched. the story was so well done and suprisingly paced well, it didn't feel rushed at all. it actually had a cohesive storyline that I could follow, unlike some of the other far fetched and confusing storylines that seem to be prominent in bls. the romance in this drama is top tier, all of their romantic scenes were amazingly done and they felt natural, not awkward or out of nowhere at all. the music is suprisngly good, it seems to be hard to find dramas with good music lately. they're so good i even had to put them on my playlist, i really like can you stay. actors are really good too, i feel their chemistry! loooove the side characters too.

overall this is just an amazing drama and i've rewatched it like a billion times ;P

Lacking

Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes so of course I was gonna love this one, originally it as 100/100 but then I read the manhwa. With how short and the restrictions I understand why they couldn't add everything obviously but theres highly detailed short shows so they couldve added some stuff from the manhwa, basically the only things that are the same is the base concept of the story. But that doesnt mean its bad or anything, its still a fun and sweet story. I really liked how their relationship developed, the scene when sang u treats jae youngs scratch and when Jae young pulls sang u away from all of the drunk people are probably my favorite points in the show. I dont know how to describe it very well but I think those moments were definitely the turning points from hating each other to gaining those kind of romantical feelings, its kind of weird but also kind of sweet how quickly their relationship changed.

The best light hearted Korean BL!

Looking for a show to watch after crying your eyes out? Look no further but for Semantic Error! This show is so cute, and I have watched it about nine times since it came out. This show is very simple. It's a university enemy to lovers story. There is no big blow up in the plot, and it will not make you cry. This show is not for someone who likes very deep and in depth shows. I like light-hearted shows with lots of fluff, and that is what this show brings to the table! This is actually one out of my eleven 10/10 shows. I recommend this show to anyone who is new to BL or new to kdramas in general. Even though Sang woo can frustrate watchers because hes so orderly, you come to love is quirks. The character development that we get to see from Jaechan's character (sang woo) is actually so nice. Jaeyoung is definitely a fun character who knows what he wants! The side characters aka Jae youngs friends were so funny!

ANYWAY, there is nothing I can complain about for this series. I have yet to find a Korean BL that lives up to this! Definitely give this show a try!

this is the best BL ever made and I will die on this hill

Are you kidding me ?
Enemies to friends to lovers ?? Is it my birthday?

I went into it not expecting much bc we all know bl kdramas are not of the best quality (although it's getting a lot better) and well...jaw on the floor many times.
I can't think of a single thing I hated and the only reason I didn't give a 10 is bc my most favorite dramas can't be on the same level.

it was so cute and fluffy and there is no problematic scene (that I remember) ASKING FOR A KISS ? FOR PERMISSION? IN A BL DRAMA ? Marry me already

I'm sorry this gets me heated
I need to log off before I start to rewatch it right now

BRAVO! BRAVO!!!

To clarify, I hate the enemies to lovers trope. I always thought it was too much trouble and never executed properly.

THIS, however... I loved it. I loved it so much. The story is sweet, easy to follow and flows well. Great acting, lovely scenes and scenery...

It's an adorable idea how this cold and "robotic" guy can turn into a mess when he's with someone he loves. It's adorable. They're adorable. Great chemistry, cute ideas.

I wanted to stand up and clap when I finished the last episode...

Mes bébés ?

Comme je le visionne encore, j'en profite pour rappeler que ces deux là (acteurs comme personnages) sont à croquer, qu'ils m'ont fait sourire tout le long comme une idiote, que leur alchimie était wow et qu'ils m'ont réconcilié avec les dramas bl. Je les aime 🥺 En tant que fan du webtoon, je trouve que l'adaptation est très réussie. Les acteurs se sont investis à fond et on voit qu'ils n'ont pas fait le strict minimum car c'est un bl, comme certains. Et ça ajoute encore à leur alchimie qui est palpable même hors drama, lors des interviews etc. Je dois encore lire le roman, mais je sais que je vais revenir souvent vers le drama, comme on s'accroche à un doudou

An Actual Masterpiece

This one is an absolute classic for a very good reason.
The setting and plot may be nothing new, but the show makes full use of them and breathes new life into well-established tropes until it all comes together to create something truly unique.
The music and camera work fit the story perfectly, the acting is excellent, the script is tight, and the clever writing infuses the whole story with a dry, understated humour which suits the characters perfectly.
In short - the show is technically excellent.

But it's not just the fact that the show is objectively good that has so successfully endeared it to viewers.
It's how lovable and relatable the characters are. They are all clearly their own people with their own unique personalities which clash often, but also often mesh together very well, allowing for interesting friendships to form.
They feel incredibly true to life and frankly, seem to me like the exact type of unusual yet charming weirdos you'd find at any university or college campus.

Another strong suit of the show is its depiction of queer people and friendships. You won't find any stale romance tropes here, no queer relationships forced into weird, heterosexual dynamics. The characters respect each other's boundaries and take care not to overstep them, even when they're actively making a nuisance of themselves.
Sangwoo asks Jaeyoung to warn him in advance before touching him, so Jaeyoung does. Jaeyoung asks Sangwoo to not completely push him away and Sangwoo agrees to take some time to think about their relationship going forward.
They both try their best to stick together and make things work between them, yet never fall into a co-dependent "I'd sacrifice everything to be with you" dynamic.
Add to that some stand-out supporting characters (Yu Na, my absolute favourite), healthy male-female friendships, and some truly wonderful casual queer representation, and you've got an undeniable recipe for success.

If you haven't seen this show yet, I highly recommend that you do. I envy anyone who gets to experience watching it for the first time.

My first one!

My first watch of BL and I could not be happier that this drama makes me lost in BL world.

The story itself is cute, Korean style.

The acting is good, but development of the story is quite slow burn, thankfully the ending is cute.

Overall, I hope you guys can enjoy this drama as much as I am.

This review may contain spoilers

É Simples, mas é bom e muito fofo! Vale a pena.

A atuação é perfeita, a ost consegue ser cômica com as partes do JangJae que conseguem ser cativantes, a história é ótima, é algo mais simples sem muitos desenrolados mas tem o perfeito simples que faz prender a atenção em: ele vai levar adiante essa curta e boba vingança e o que Chu Sangwoo irá fazer com esse grude para cima de si?

As fotografias são muito bonitas no drama todo.

É interessante ressaltar que foi criativo usar "erro" como o aceleramento cardíaco do Chu Sangwoo, já que Jang Jae mencionou que via ele como um cara que tem a mente como de um computador.

Semantic Error

O Kdrama, que nos apresenta a vida de Sangwoo um jovem integro e pontual, no terceiro ano da sua faculdade de ciências da computação, ele lida com um pequeno incomodo Diário JangJae um formando que por falta de responsabilidade ficou prejudicado por um trabalho em grupo. Trabalho este Chu Sangwoo fez sozinho pelos colegas não se interessae pela sua monotonia e retirou o nome dos colegas folgados ao apresentar o trabalho, afetando em problemas sérios para JangJae.

Apesar de que JangJae o bonitao e popular da faculdade que descide se vingar do Chu Sangwoo, com as perturbações diarias ao colega mais jovem, um certo interesse surge sobre a aparência deste que vive todo santo dia de boné. Descidido na vingança ja que os pontos do trbalaho interdisciplinar afetaria os pontos e creditos para estudos no exterior, achou que fosse a perfeita opção perturba-lo.

Ate que a convivência da perturbação, começa despertar o interesses um pelo o outro, JangJae mostra durante o curto drama curiosidade sobre a feição, sobre as habilidades, de Chu Sangwoo e aos poucos aquela perseguição começa a ficar mais suave e estranhamente aquilo tudo acontecendo chamou a atenção de Sangwoo que ambos começam a ter curtas e pequenas troca de olhares e ceder em momentos que não adianta discutir um com o outro.

Mas com o passar dos momentos Chu Sangwoo sem entender o que está sentindo por Jang Jae, aos poucos toma atitudes que ele mesmo não esperava de si, assim como JangJae que tomou a atitude para cima daquele que estava gostando de verdade.

ps: um cura ressaca de dorama esplêndido!

One of the best adaptations of a manga/webtoon I've ever seen

Eeeeeeeeh I loved reading this so I was both excited and worried about the drama adaptation but THEY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB ahhhh.

Production/Cinematography:

Obviously high quality, but there was a lack of something I don’t know whether it’s a filter, lens type, or post-editing element but it took a few minutes to adjust to. Definitely not the end of the world, just something I wanted to note.

Acting:

Oh my GOOOOOD everyone did so well!! I loved every character and the actors/actresses brought them to life straight off the page it was such a delight to see. I was so worried that the actors just wouldn’t be able to come close to the original characters but I’m so glad I was worried for nothing. Amazing, stupendous, truly a delight.

Writing:

I will say it has been quite a while since I read the webtoon, but from what I remember, they didn’t seem to have changed much of anything. With a story like this that has a realistic setting, situation, characters, and whatnot there isn’t any need to adapt much to make a drama seem more realistic. So, overall great writing.

Chemistry/Romance/Kissing:

The chemistry was present and again, it really felt the same as reading the original did so kudos bravo. Interestingly enough, I think I actually felt that the romance maybe worked slightly better as a live action than in the webtoon but maybe that’s because I haven’t read it in a minute. Kissing was realistic, nothing seemed off about it the actors did a good job.

Music/SFX:

Nothing too jarring with the music, just the typical questionable music choice once or twice. Once again, we can’t escape those cheesy ass songs with lyrics that blatantly state the feelings being portrayed for some reason. SFX were good, nothing stood out as odd.

Soooo good overall. Kept me locked into the story the whole time and I am blown away by how well it compares to the webtoon.
