Semantic Error | Drama Review
2022
Image Source: Google Images
Chu Sang Woo is a junior computer science majoring student who prizes reason, rules, and a rigid sense of what is right above all else. As part of his university work, he is told to work on a group project for the liberal arts, whereby the group is required to make a final presentation in order to pass the module. But as the rest of the group – whom he knows nothing about – have decided to leave him to do all the work on his own, he decides to remove their names, and make the presentation in his name.
But little did he know that when he did this, he would deal a heavy blow to the academic prospects of a senior student named Jang Jae Young. The latter, a design major, is Chu Sang Woo’s polar opposite. He is stylish, fun-loving, and – above all – extraordinarily popular. He is the closest thing the college has to a superstar! But when his credit for the liberal arts project is taken away, his grand plans to study abroad are suddenly thrown up in the air. He seeks out Chu Sang Woo and is of a mind to torment him. But when the duo is forced to work together, a strange attraction starts to develop between them…

As of 2022, This is My Favourite Korean BL Drama
I do not usually crave a second season for dramas or any shows that already closed off nicely in the first instalment. However, I am seriously craving for another season of Semantic Error and it's mainly so that I get to see our two main leads' chemistry again. A drama can have an unoriginal plot like Semantic Error but when you have a cast with this amount chemistry, it makes the show a lot more enjoyable to watch. I am really quite amused that the casting team was able to find the right group of people to play the roles in this drama, the casting did great and the casts themselves did wonderfully. I am very happy with the fact that in spite of Semantic Error being short web-drama, Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan were so well bonded. Their bond really played a big part in the reason I thoroughly enjoyed this drama.
I would also like to add that I appreciate the lack of "dreamy-ness" this drama has. The vibe Semantic Error gave felt more like your normal Korean romance drama, if you get what I mean.
Now, let's talk about the plot for a little while. I briefly mentioned that the plot was unoriginal and I stand by that, especially since I read a lot and I used to read fan-fictions. However, because this drama only has a few short episodes and it was rather quick-paced, I didn't have time to get bored with the cliches. The problems Jaeyoung and Sangwoo were met with in their relationship also made sense for the storyline, and since they were solved before I could come up with any criticism, I really have no complains. No complains regarding the plot at all.
Before I end this review, I need to mention Choi Yu Na and Ryu Ji Hye. Yuna is an amazing woman, personally I am straight but I think I am in love with this character. We need more of Yuna in Korean dramas, gay or straight or bi, anything, just more roles like her. And Jihye, I don't think we appreciate characters like Jihye enough. She's a character created solely as the third party in a monogamous relationship but I've realised we don't get enough of female third parties that step back without going through that vendetta stage, especially in Korean dramas. Korean show writers, can you please work to fix that? A role like Jihye can remain nice even after a rejection.
