Korean BL game is stepping up STRONG.

Ever since watching Where Your Eyes Linger and To My Star, I've been excited about new Korean BL content. The production quality, the chemistry- it's all fire and just gets better with each one I've seen (I'm not looking at Kissable Lips).

I've not seen/read the web series for Semantic Error, so I'm stepping in with fresh eyes and making my own observations. I think the chemistry between both leads is l i t e r a l l y palpable. Like, laser-sharp. Gives me body tingles when they touch each other or get near each other. They do not suffer the curse of the wooden Korean BL actor, in fact, it's very obvious how comfortable the actors are in their roles, especially in watching the BTS of the series and of them together during their press tour. They're so cute together.

Park Seo Ham has one of the sexiest voices I've ever heard. That slight rasp is intoxicating as is his height above literally everyone else on the show (he looked actually GIANT in the bar scene against the Quickyst jerk the way he leered down at him - it also made it so much funnier). I love the storyline and the conflict that arises between them. The argument scenes are believable and even there, the chemistry is overwhelming. Once Jae Young‬ realizes what he wants, he doesn't back down and doesn't wilt. I love that. There's no questioning his feelings and he's blunt about it without fear of homophobic backlash (I also spotted that gay pride flag in his studio!). There is no running away for him and he isn't afraid to hit the root of the issue to force Sangwoo to be honest with himself. It's so refreshing and electrifying to watch. I loved this series! They've set a high bar for anything else coming out this year.

"Don't avoid it. Don't ignore it. Just try and feel it."
