If you are someone that watches kdramas or BL series, then I am sure that you have heard of Semantic Error. It has gotten so much buzz and so much hype recently that I decided to give it a try. I had no idea what to expect and I honestly don’t even remember what the synopsis was. But I watched it and I had a laughing good time. So, let’s get into it!
Characters
In this series we have two guys. Jae Young who is a senior and ready to graduate. He’s popular, good looking, confident, and now that he’s a senior, he feels he’s done all his hard work and just wants to coast freely until graduation, even if that means sticking his name on a group project that he did nothing to help with.

Then we have Sang Woo who is uptight, rude, and downright robotic in his thought processes and actions. He has no idea how to be social and doesn’t have any friends. He basically doesn’t understand human emotions at all, even his own. He actually admits this in later episodes.

Yes. Yes, Jae Young did draw on his face in class while he was sleeping lol
Sang Woo is a younger student who values what is right and doesn’t allow people to treat him like a doormat. When he gets left to complete a group project all by himself, he decides to give the presentation in his name only and tells the professor (and the whole class) that his groupmates (whom he has never seen or met) did nothing to contribute to the project and referred to them as ‘freeloaders’.
This results in the professor stripping the grade/credit away for the whole course for these freeloading students which hurts Jae Young because he is now no longer on track to graduate and has to stay another year. Because of this, Jae Young vows to find Sang Woo and make his life a living hell because of what he’s done.
Meanwhile, Sang Woo sees a digital design project that he likes and wants to hire the artist to help him work on another project for one of his courses. But little does he know that the artist in question is Jae Young, one of the “freeloaders” whose path to graduation he has just ruined!
Eventually these two finally meet and it’s a feud of hilarious proportions. But of course, this little rivalry turns into romance!
