After watching this amazing drama I felt the strong urge to write a little review. It left me so positively astonished that I just couldn't stay silent.
Coming from the manhwa, which is currently my favourite among those I'm reading, I had a very high expectation, especially after I saw the choice of actors (protagonists). The first time I saw them I just couldn't believe how perfectly they resembled the characters. I know it's wrong to make comparisons and that wasn't my intention at all, but it naturally came up in my mind that they were literally the real-life version of them. It was just apparent. I was surprised by their chemistry, they looked very comfortable with each other and totally gave life to the characters.
What I loved most were three factors (which I think are fundamental):
- The acting + the wonderful kiss scenes that made me drop my jaw, as it was the first time for me to see such realistic kisses in a KBL
- The mood, the use of lighting and colours in every scene
- The ost/the general choice of music
Every episode glued me to the screen and I couldn't wait for each episode to come out. I haven't felt this excited in a long time honestly.
I don't really have the right words for this and many people already expressed a lot of positive and even more technical comments, so I just want to HIGHLY recommend this masterpiece to everyone, especially to those who don't know anything about this story. The story is very good and very simple at the same time, and here I'd like to underline just one fact: it doesn't have any unnecessary drama or misunderstandings etc. To me, this is a great quality.
Semantic Error feels like a milestone, in some way I felt like witnessing something incredible in the history of KBL dramas while watching it. It deserves tons of recognition, love and attention.
