My first Chinese BL/bromance

At this point, I have seen a lot of thai and korean BLs but when clips from Stay with Me started coming onto my tiktok I knew I had to check it out. It was nice that this show had good length episodes and also a lot more episodes in a season than I'm used to! This was my first Chinese bl/bromance. I say "BL/Bromance" because I learned that there are much more strict regulations for chinese shows such as this one but even though it didnt have much physicality in the relationship, I didnt feel like it was lacking anything for the show. The chemistry between the main characters and their relationship was more than enough to keep me very interested. My only complaint is that I'm used to everything wrapping up within one season as a lot of these shows dont get second seasons.... So without saying much about the ending, I was not prepared for the show to leave us with that accident. But other than that, it was a really amazing show, the side characters and their new-found family themes were sooo well done by the acting, scripts, producing, just everything was so well done. Would definitely recommend this to my friends that dont watch BLs because its just a good show.

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 :)
