Basic but done very well.

I feel mostly the same about the series as I did about the manhwa. I think the story doesn't rewrite the genre in any way or do anything different but it does the basic beats very well. I really enjoyed the visuals in the first episode and I think everything with the production was really nice. It didn't feel overly produced as some things do these days. I loved Jaeyoung's work space and everything about his styling - as I did with the manhwa as well. Everything about him was really well done and he continues to carry this story for me.

Sangwoo got me a little irritated similarly as the manhwa story because I don't think Jaeyoung deserves all the confusion - but they are both stubborn and hence they compliment each other.

Also huge crush on Choi Yuna. Everything about her. Yes.

Now that I've consumed this story twice in different mediums I don't think I'll be revisiting it any time soon, but the artistic components of it I do love and I think will stick with me.

I think this is a cute starter BL and definitely a heartwarming story. I was giggling through some of the scenes and I do wish we got a little more like the final scene of how their dynamic works together post confession.

Its only 2 episodes in, but so far its good! The storyline isn't anything special or outstanding, but since i prefer chill and calm bl's without a big plot i like it! The aesthetic of the whole thing is actually why i watched it and im gonna be honest, but i expected akward, uncomfortable and cringe acting from both lead, but surprisingly that wasn't the case. The actors did a great job putting out the personality of their character! The actors fit their character so well! It went smooth and natural and i didn't cringe or skip any parts as i usually do. I also liked the background a lot. Usually some korean bl's seem empty in the background and sometimes it doesnt even look realistic, but i liked how it looked like a totally realistic university.

For NOW the pacing of the whole thing is going well. Its not rushed, but i cant say more to this since we're only two episodes in.

All together i like it! I dont see any flaws in it at all. It seems like a good quality series and i rlly look forward to the improvement of the characters. Many people are pointing out harrasment and bullying, but honestly i dont see it. As Sangwoo said himself, there haven't been done anything illegal. Jaeyoung is just annoying.

Incrível.

Essa obra é PERFEITA! Com certeza uma das minhas preferidas, me surpreendi muito assistindo achando que ia ser chato e monótono, MAS FOI COMPLETAMENTE O CONTRÁRIO!
Simplesmente enemies to lovers é o melhor estilo, pois conseguimos ver os personagens gradativamente deixando suas raivas de lado e se apaixonando um pelo outro.
Não poderiam existir pessoas melhores para interpretar os papéis do Jae Young e Sang Woo do que o Seoham e o Jae-chan!
Quando acabou me senti a pessoa mais triste do mundo pois uma obra tão incrível deveria ter no mínimo 20 episódios. PERFEIÇÃO!

best Korean BL

The best Korean BL series I've ever watched

I hope that with a popular Korean series like this, even a series that managed to break records on Netflix will make directors and producers in Korea make as many BL series as possible and with as many episodes as Korean dramas in general and with a long duration of each episode.

The story is very good and also the acting skills of the actors are also beyond expectations.
the cinematography effect is also very good, even I was amazed for the first time seeing this Korean BL series. I hope this series has a season 2 and I can't wait for Park Seo Ham to return from his military service. This series is highly recommended to watch.

This review may contain spoilers

there are no flaws! A MUST-WATCH FOR NEW BL FANS!

the plot of this story was carried out extremely well. the acting overall was phenomenal, and i could hit the replay button on the kiss scene in ep. 7 so many times! the fact it was the actors who suggested the kiss scene makes it even better. their on-screen chemistry was intense.

if you're a person who recently got into BL, this is the perfect drama for you to watch. additionally, if you're a person who likes the genre hate to love and dramas that focus on college life, this is just for you!

Probably now one of the best BLs of all times

Seriously, the chemistry, the music, the ambiance, the acting has been top notch from ep 1 to ep 8.
I'm always unsure about a second seasons of shows because they usually screw up a lot but if they make it as good as this one, I would love a second season.

Every time the actors were on screen I felt like blushing because of how cute and intimate they were with each other, a long with the camera angles made it such a charming experience.
If you're new to BL shows this is probably one of the first shows you now NEED to watch.

No errors could be found !

This is definetly a must watch for so may reasons:
1.) the actors were just amazing, they were just perfectly chosen for the characters
They delivered all the emotions just excellent so that i got immediately attached to them (actually it wasn‘t even necessary to let them talk, they could‘ve just let their impressive facial expressions talk), also their chemistry was on point (there was always such a natural and comfortable atmosphere around them) ,so I’m hoping to see an other series of them

2.)the story was simple without any unnecessary drama, that’s why i liked it so much
Just them two trying to understand themselves and getting completely overwhelmed with unfamiliar emotions is enough for a superb storyline.

3.)the music was just amazing and perfectly matching for the series

4.) their visuals
Like how can one look so freaking handsome plsss !

5.) the script is so well written
I would always giggle when they use this super logical way to communicate, it‘s so hilarious
But you will have to watch it yourself to get what i mean and i promise you will love it.


so far it‘s one of the best (if not the best) Korean bl series out there

The only thing i did‘t like was the short length, like pls Korea don‘t torture us so much with such good series that are like only 20‘ each episode. We need longer Korean bl seriesss!!!!!!
I recommend watching this series for so may reasons, so if you haven‘t watched it yet go for it!

My wait paid its worth

First of all I need to say I ain't gonna give a long review.. I will cut shot it and review it simple.

I love bl drama so much enough to say i feel bl drama lost it word by giving off same cringe story or stupid leads or many other reasons.

But this drama tells me there are still hope for bl world. Oops! Seems like I am exaggerating but what can I do ... this drama makes me do so.

Its contain the tag of enemies to lover ... I am pretty sure many will like this story line where both leads will be bickering at first and lastly ML will be whipped totally by MC.

May be some feels irritated by MC bcoz of ... he won't be honest about his feelings about ML.. but i wanna remind everyone thats MC's character setting is like that..

Story : 9.5 ( I didn't give it 10 coz sometimes i feel annoyed by the character setting of MC. But I couldn't get my heart to lower the point coz it portrays the love life story perfectly.

Acting : 10 ( Need not to say ...both leads gives their best... MC: He is short cute and perfect match for ML.
ML: He is tall handsome and hot and both leads acting i was just amazed.

Songs : 10 ... yeah it knacked it ...

Rewatch value : 10 ( absolutely u feel to rewatch again.. its not like cringe bl types... if wanna feel in love mood make sure not to miss it.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!! I honestly applaud the whole semantic error team for finding the perfect Sangwoo and Jaeyoung and sticking so close to webtoon. it was the PERFECT adaptation of the manhwa im gonna miss it sm. They have worked so hard on it and it shows. Best production, perfect casting, catchy OST, the acting, the chemistry between Soeham and Jaechan. THIS SHOW IS THE BEST SHOW IN THE BL INDUSTRY IDC WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS! IT DESERVES ALL THE PRAISES LIKE MANNN ITS SICKENING. SEMANTIC ERROR IS THE STANDARD. MUST WATCH.

Mediocre but unique in a way.

Watched this series because of the massive amount of good reviews and I must say that it didn't disappoint.

Story is pretty much a typical university enemies-to-lovers trope but the leads' chemistry really gave justice to their characters. Their cuteness makes you anticipate the next episode. The last episode is really satisfying with that domestic scene but will also make you beg for a second season.

If you're going to watch this, don't get too realistic or be so logical about it because it's really just a feel good series that will make you smile.
