Red is for errors and Jang Jae Young.
I found out about Semantic Error TV show adaptation by total coincidence while browsing YTB and it was the best coincidence of this year, because I fell for Park & Park duo so quickly I almost got a whiplash. It is not as *spicy* as the manhwa, but it still has such magic that draws you into it... So I'm probably gonna re-watch it for the fourth time during this weekend.

Chu Sang Woo loves routine, loves things that make sense and is not afraid to go against the flow. People may thing he's a robot, in reality he just wants to live his life in peace. That being said, ratting out on his team matesnot helping him with their final project was probably not the smartest idea - he did not count with one of the freeloaders taking a revenge on him, because now said freeloader can't graduate. The error's name reveals to be Jang Jae Young, graphic design senior, which decides to repay Sangwoo by making his life miserable by constantly crashing his schedule and habits. But in the end, he also crashes into his heart and Sangwoo can't get rid of this bug no matter how hard he tries...
My unhealed trauma freaking loves enemies to lovers trope. Semantic Error is definitely not the first TV show with this trope I've seen, yet it became my no. 1 among Korean BL dramas, sharing first place with We Best Love (chinese) and Sotus (thai) in "enemies to lovers" category.
It's good to see that Korean BLs are stepping up their game. There's been demand for BL dramas for a while, while Thai dramas are thriving, Korea is still kinda shy, but slowly getting there. Semantic Error is proof of that, it has great cast, great OST, good writing, I love the details and how they follow the manhwa. Seoham and Jaechan chamistry is something, that makes this drama *chef's kiss*, because they have awesome chemistry not only on screen, but also off screen and I'm really hoping they will consider making season 2 when Seoham gets out of the army. As far as I know, both of them are interested in that idea.
I'm also really happy that SE got KNK and Dongkiz (DKZ) the attention both boy groups deserved. Finally after all those years! Watcha is slowly putting subtitles on all their SE videos, which are worth watching, there's also a photo book coming out on March 22nd, just google Semantic Error Photo Essay Book... Already ordered mine and can't wait to put my hands on it. :)
