Semantic Error

One of the best remarkable adaption from manhwa... Good production with charismatic actors and their presentable acting make this series more magnificent... I won't add any single spoiler here.. If you read the manhwa then it's absolute necessary to watch this series... This series worth every of your single time and you won't feel bore for 1 second..

I wish South Korea will make this type of remarkable series in future also and with more time and more episodes... Because we viewers becoming more hungry for this type of series....

Thank you.

I gave the first two episodes lower scores because I couldn't really feel the plot or the characters that well. Upon doing a rewatching of those two episodes and then finally continuing on, I've come to understand it better and grew to enjoy the character development of Sangwoo specifically. I really enjoy this series and would rewatching this in a heartbeat.

From good cinematography to good acting, this series has significantly raised the standard of a BL Drama. So much so, that you'd be disappointed if you used this amazing drama as a basis for comparison.

This story has a classic trope for romance - opposites attract, enemies to lovers, oil and water do not mix except...for when they do! So, it's not "new" in that way.

However, what I thought Semantic Error handled in a novel way was exploring differences in personality and "processing of information" the between the two main characters creatively.

I've seen all eight episodes now and think this live adaptation did a great job to make an 8-episode run out of a plot that could have run much longer, but could have been messily bogged down by being too superficial about certain topics...really, the way that you can expect a cartoon to be about real life (a genre-typical problem).

The adjustments done to the plot, dialogue, and characters, while jarring to me at first, not only make the narrative arc one that can be told in eight 20ish minutes episodes but improve the story to be a more logical one, where characters are more sympathetic and endearing as well, but the essence of the story was not lost.

The production (cinematography! The visual accents! I could go on) is so great for this type of project, and the casting and the acting was on point.

Novel and manhwa readers can feel free to disagree (I have not read the novel and only part of the manhwa), but this live adaptation was very enjoyable and did a great job with the source materials that I am aware of by this point.

Man I'm so glad this kdrama was just as great as the manhwa because everything in it was just right! Ok there might be some differences such as Sangwoo wearing less of his hat but it didn't matter like everything was just perfect. I personally don't think it needs a season 2, it had everything you need to enjoy a series, even the sexual tension.

Park Seo Ham, Song Ji Oh, Kim Noh Jin and Park Jae Chan were just stunning in this series! Also Park Seo Ham is off to military enlistment today so best of luck to him like I hope to himself and everyone on other projects in the future! Honestly again I can't express my love for this kdrama, it's outstanding!
