The Good and Bad of Semantic Error

CW: DISCUSSION ON DUBCON & HARASSMENT.

My second true Korean BL and...boy did it not disappoint. Let's start with....

The Good

The length. While nearly all popular kbls boast a 20-25 minute runtime, usually the runtime is not enough to get me invested in the characters. But here, the runtime works in tandem with the efficient story to create a constant-moving, low-fat viewing experience.

The acting. While not mind-blowing in the manner of a Gun Atthaphan or Wayne Song, both Seoham and Jaechan gave a strong showing. I completely believed in them 100% of the way.

The chemistry. So, I was not part of the Park Seoham + Park Jaechan hype train. I honestly avoided it at all costs because most k-dramas I've seen are absolute garbage water. But from the very first scene between the two you sense this depth of feeling. It's a chemistry quite unlike anything I've seen before. If I could describe it, I'd say that it's a twist on the classic push-and-pull/tsundere dynamic. I don't ever feel like Sangwoo actually hated or even disliked Jaeyoung. Instead, I feel like he always liked him but couldn't understand why. But that's just the genius of Sangwoo and I'm getting ahead of myself. For Jaeyoung, on the other hand, it's clear that he liked Sangwoo from the beginning, but, again, what I find interesting is the external manifestation toward Sangwoo. For example, Jaeyoung takes every opportunity to be in physical proximity to Sangwoo, even during the time he allegedly hated him. And he was not just close--he was smothering, touchy, concerned, and even visibly affected by all of Sangwoo's actions. Those were not the actions of a man in hate. Jaeyoung's sunny disposition, combined with Sangwoo's decidedly robotic one already created an intriguing dynamic, but when you add the words that had gone unspoken the sparks just flew.

Chu Sangwoo. Chu Sangwoo is a gem of a character portrayed sparklingly by Park Jaechan. I never read the Semantic Error manhwa but I know that Jaechan took Sangwoo and made him into something greater than the character on its face. Sangwoo is like a machine--he only thinks logically, he lacks emotional intelligence, and he treats relationships like means to an end. But underneath the cold, tough exterior, is a childlike naivete and open-mindedness that I believe has gone unnoticed. Sangwoo has a lot of depth to him. His single-mindedness comes off more as endearing than annoying but only because you know that he genuinely does not understand his own self, let alone his effect on others. I have so much to say about this character and on rewatch I'll probably come with a more nuanced study on him.

The setting. One thing about k-dramas is that the settings always seem real and lived-in. This actually worked to help viewers connect with our main characters, as without such a grounded world, we'd be hard-pressed to believe an over-the-top petty and spiteful Jaeyoung or a cripplingly robotic Sangwoo.

The skinship. I'm talking the first head pat, the first *real* kiss... There was something magical about their affection (probably the connection underlying it) and I demand 3 more seasons of it.

The Bad...with a twist.

Jung Jaeyoung is batshit (but like, I was entertained). This man STALKS Sangwoo, MOVES INTO THE APARTMENT RIGHT NEXT TO HIS, studies his every move, and harasses him for four days all because Sangwoo (rightfully) snitched on that ass. Who does that? Then he has the nerve to be upset when Sangwoo tears into that ass when he called himself being worried about Sangwoo. Not only that, but when Jaeyoung starts figuring out that he likes Sangwoo, he takes every opportunity to separate him from Jihye, finds reasons to get Sangwoo to do boyfriendy stuff with him, and basically just forces a confession out of Sangwoo. Like ??? Was nobody in this show seeing all the red flags? I'm not gonna lie it made the story entertaining. I'm just saying that in-universe Jaeyoung did so many questionable things that Sangwoo clearly didn't like. But here's the thing, unlike with shows like TharnType and other dubcon-heavy/crazy SO plotlines, I actually didn't mind it much? Like it made the show entertaining and I didn't feel like it was trying to normalize/romanticize dubcon/harassment. It was just showing it as part of this particular story. It's like, with, say KinnPorsche. Just because a bunch of people died in that show doesn't mean it's morally objectionable to watch it/be entertained by it.

So lately:

- work is so toxic mainly because of my colleagues. Everyday a drama and a fight in my team....its getting annoying

- many kids were sick with fever and I took care of my sick korean girl all monday and tuesday (she only accept me anyway) so....guess who is sick today 😐🥲 but yeah....it's been a while

- fully into my Ikon and Block B era, I feel like I tried "too hard" to keep on with the new gen amd trend but it really doesn't bring me joy or anything, i still enjoy their music but cant stan them. The only exception is Ateez of course, but the new of the comeback, teaser photos, all preorder POB releases.....it got me overwhelmed. Otherwise i'm extremely excited for Epik High's release AND new lightstick, it gonna be so COOL.

I'm still talking to some friends (kpop fans) and most of them are the portuguese's fans i've met at yongguk's concerts. All the others atiny and good friend i've met and helped (!!!) for their tickets, gave some presents etc, just ignored me since 6 months. 😒 Next time i'll mind my own business and be a loner (the best way) because it's easier.

- my next concert is in 30 days !! 2 months without any concerts feel strange in that 2023 year filled with concerts 😳 but yeah Babymetal gonna be so fun, I can already feel it !!

- I might have been in a mental "down" so I bought so many stuff on Mercari 😂 no so proud but well....my big bang lightstick (finally, after all thoses years being a vip), the block b lightstick (i dont understand why everyone hate it....), an Ikon signed album (they were still 7 ;_;), a yongguk pc set, and the most important: an eye mask (with Donghyuk eyes 🤣). I think that's gonna be enough to give me serotonin until december.

- also i'm currently watching Semantic Error and yeah, you can say I might have a new hyperfixation. My first BL and it's really cute/refreshing/light and let's not talk about the actors (Park seo ham you have my heart)

I was like "AWWW Park JaeChan must be so smoooool because the difference is so cute" and when I checked yesterday I saw that he was 177cm and Seo ham was.....193cm 💀💀 so on the left picture i would literally look even shorter (172cm) than jaechan next to seoham 💀

That was the update of my life 🫶🏻

Ep 4 of Semantic Error was super cute.

Now we don't just have tension, we have romantic tension!

Also it's now very obvious that they've sanded down quite a few edges from Jaeyoung and Sangwoo, but I like that. They don't look like they have enough time to do a lot of stuff, only 8 episodes and they're halfway done now, so it's fair enough to cut out a lot of conflict.

Loved the drawing of Sangwoo. Loved Jaeyoung deciding to ditch the red. (Let's be honest, Park Seoham was handsome no matter what he was wearing, but apparently back when he was actually in a kpop band they called him a fashion terrorist?)

Also love the costumes for their French class. That was nice.

KNK // A Lazy Day With

Request: Hi~ I was wondering if you could write what a lazy day with each member of KNK would be like? (100% have Be Lazy by Day6 going through my head rn lmao)

A/N: I’m sorry this took so long hun! I included Youjin because you didn’t specify if you wanted him or not so all six members are included. Also I hope it’s ok that it’s in bullet format - if you’d like mini scenarios for each instead let me know!

Seoham:

Cinnamon roll just wants to wake up with you next to him

He’ll just watch you sleep peacefully for a bit

If you wake up he’ll cuddle you until you guys get hungry enough to get up

Otherwise he’ll get up and make you breakfast in bed

Either way baby boy is making you breakfast (though at this point it’s basically lunch, you guys stayed in bed for a while)

You insist on joining him in the cooking but he makes you sit back and relax

A new movie you guys have been wanting to see is finally out to stream so you guys watch that after you eat

Which leads to you guys watching a bunch of cheesy movies

(Imagine just cuddling on the couch listening to his little squeak laugh I’m not Seoham biased and I’m sOFT)

You guys end up making dinner together

You prank him by putting a little sauce on his nose, but eventually kiss it off

Instead of pranking you back he puts it on your lips to kiss it off (smooth amirite)

And guess what!

A new episode of your favourite drama comes out so you guys watch that while eating dinner

Eventually he falls asleep on your shoulder and you just sit there and admire his adorable sleeping figure

You guys just enjoy the cutest homebody day in your pjs

Dongwon:

(Idk that much about Dongwon yet?? He’s kind of an enigma to me, like he looks so hard and tough on the exterior but he’s a giant cinnamon roll?? I wish I knew more about him)

You wake up before him and just appreciate his gorgeous features for a bit

Eventually he wakes up and sees you watching him

“What’re you looking at?” he blushes as he covers his face with the blanket

“You’d think you’d be used to this after us waking up together countless times”

“Not you looking at me every morning no”

(And imagine that deep voice but even deeper because he still has sleep in his voice uGH)

Even though he’s hiding you see his cheeks in a big smile peeking out from the covers so you know he’s flattered by it

You just cuddle into him and lay your head on his chest, enjoying his warmth and the comfortable silence

Eventually he asks you what you want to do today and when you say you don’t have anything in mind he mentions a small carnival that just started not too far away

Thinking it’d be a cute place to go you nod and give him a kiss, making him blush again

“You know you’re cute, right?” you say, making the blush in his cheeks deeper

You guys take your time getting ready

After you guys get ready you head off towards the carnival, taking your time and walking through parks and along the river on the way

You guys eventually make your way to the carnival, mostly just enjoying people-watching

(You do convince him to go on some rides with you though, like the ferris wheel)

You guys grab food and walk around some more with it, watching kids play games and run around with their stuffed animals

He doesn’t say anything because he knows you guys aren’t near that point yet, but he hopes that one day that can be you guys and your kids

Inseong:

This happy virus

Gotta love him but

Lazy day doesn’t mean quiet day

(Don’t get me wrong I love this man, somehow this dork is my bias)

He’ll just quietly lie next to you playing with your hair as you sleep

Until he thinks of something funny then he’s just laying there trying to stifle his laugh

And you wake up to his stifled laugh shaking the bed and him snorting through his hand, just glaring at him

“Sorry~~” he mumbles into your shoulder as he envelopes you in a hug, still trying to contain his laughter, now from your face when you woke up

You’re just too cute, he can’t help it

“Ya, what’re you laughing at now?!” you say when you see him laughing again

“I know you’re annoyed but you’re just so cute~ I can’t help it. Now love meeeee” he says as he plasters any part of you he can reach with kisses

You guys eventually get up and change out of your pajamas into...more pajamas

At least it’s a clean pair

Inseong suggests a movie marathon which honestly sounds great to you

Y’all binge movies and popcorn all day until you decide it’s time for real food, so you guys get dressed and head to a nearby cafe/bistro place that sells salads and sandwiches you guys love

He just stares at you lovingly during your little date, blushing and smiling every time you catch him

But it’s ok, you keep stealing your own glances

He may be a butt that wakes you up, but he’s your butt and you love him

Jihun:

I feel like even on a lazy day off Jihun wouldn’t want to stay home all day

It’s one of his rare days off with you, he wants to enjoy it and take you out

He wakes up a little before you, and watches you sleep peacefully for a little

He likes chatting with you in bed before getting ready for the day

Once you wake up you cuddle into him while you chat a little

“Good morning jagi, how’d you sleep?”

After chatting a little, you guys get up and get ready to head out to breakfast together at a local place you both love

As you guys get ready next to each other he gives you little pecks and smiles at you in the mirror

He holds your hand as you guys walk to breakfast

He giggles and plays with your fingers as you guys wait for your food

Boy just loves the subtle affection of holding your hand

You guys just have a really fluffy soft breakfast time together

You guys just wander around and do some window shopping

He gets you a sweater he thinks you’d be really cute in that you liked

You guys pick up some ingredients to make dinner together on your way home

You enjoy feeding each other parts of the dinner as you make it to taste test (and because you guys are getting hungry as you prep the food)

When it gets dark you guys sit on your balcony together and watch the city lights

Jihun sings to you and runs his fingers through his hair as you cuddle in bed because he knows it calms you and puts you to sleep

Heejun:

Wakes you up with a tickle fight

“Ya, sleepyhead! I miss you, now wake up and spend time with me!”

You try to resist to no avail, there’s no resisting the tickle master

You may lose at all the tickle fights, but you could have the upper hand in, let’s say

A pillow fight?

Pillow discreetly in hand, you take the first chance to take a swing at him

“Ya! Ok, you win! So mean~” he says as he cuddles into you

“That’s what you get for not letting me sleep in”

“You had all night to sleep, now it’s time to spend the day with me~”

“And what is it you want to do on your day off?”

Instead of answering you he just clicks on the TV with a movie queued up to play

He clings to you like a koala bear as you guys watch the movie, occasionally grazing your sides to let you know you didn’t really win before

You guys pause the movie to order takeout

As it’s his day off you let him pick what to eat and he picks chicken

At least it got you guys out of bed, even if it is in the afternoon

Eventually you guys are just chilling in the living room with a show on in the background

You’re reading a book as he starts strumming on his guitar, humming along to something

You join in the humming and he flashes you his gummy smile because he rarely gets this side of you (you insist he’s the singer not you after all)

Youjin:

One of the things he’s most proud of in your relationship

Besides asking you out of course

Is that he got you into video games, especially ones he likes to play

Any day off you guys get, you guys play together

You might even be more into it than he is

Honestly it kinda scares him a little

When you get into stuff you get SERIOUS about it

But that’s something he loves about you at the same time

But everytime one of you wins a round, the other gives the winner a kiss

Eventually you guys get hungry and you’re both craving that new food truck down the street

So you guys head down and get some, as well as some snacks and drinks from the local convenience store

And that’s your big excursion for the day

You guys eat your food outside because it’s a beautiful day and you don’t want to lock yourselves up all day

After you eat you take your convenience store haul back home and settle back into playing games, this time opting for some cooperative gameplay

After several successful rounds, you guys decide to turn in for the night

Instead of going to bed you guys just lay there and talk about anything and everything for hours before finally drifting off to sleep

WELCOME TO DAEGU !!

loading dossier on PARK KINAM —— please be sure to take a look at the checklist before venturing around town.

BASIC STUFF.

FACECLAIM: park seungjun (park seoham) MUSE’S NAME: park kinam PRONOUNS: he/him GENDER: male AGE: 25

PERSONALITY.

POSITIVE TRAITS: ambitious, focused & responsible NEGATIVE TRAITS: pessimistic, fussy & judgmental MUSE AESTHETICS: black baseball caps, wireless headphones, a black tight fitted t-shirt & empty starbucks cups. QUOTE: the dead cannot cry out for justice. it is a duty of the living to do so for them.

BACKGROUND.

kinam got lucky. at least that’s what it felt like while he was growing up. he wasn’t necessarily rich nor excelling when it came to academics but he had a great set of features and that seemed to be enough for the rich and powerful to accept him as one of their own. and kinam, being as young and desperate for affirmation as he was, didn’t question it once. instead he soared under their protection, smiles growing a little more confident with words dripping in charm and deceit as he speaks.

turns out kinam was the biggest trickster of them all. he was a carefully edited version of himself when he was around his friends, one he knew would appeal to them more than the one that was hidden beneath the layers and layers of pretend. see, kinam positioned himself as a mysterious individual. he tried to play hard to get to mask his complete lack of interest in girls. it was boys that he was drawn to, that excited him, but that was not what was expected of him. it was not the role they wanted him to play.

he plays the part a little too well. his cold and distant behavior makes him even more desirable and girls flock to him like children at the zoo. they fight for his attention and kinam gives them just enough to keep the fantasy alive. still there is one person that sees through it all, someone who knows all the tells because he spent years perfecting them himself.

while kinam knows he should fear him and the power he now holds over him, he finds love instead. what had started as a quick adventure in the locker room after gym class bloomed into something more. it was a relationship that needed to stay hidden under all circumstances but kinam can’t say he minded. at least he got to experience his first times just like every other teenager his age.

it was s at age eighteen that kinam’s views on society were questioned in a rather unfortunate play of events. the senior class had rented a house out of the city to celebrate the nearing end of the school year. it had been planned with the purest intention, an opportunity for the seniors to make a few more memories together before they all had to part their ways, little did they know it would turn into a huge nightmare for some.

up until this day, kinam still doesn’t know who was responsible for the overdose. all he knew is that his name, as well as those of his friends, had conveniently disappeared off the list of those who had been present on that particular night. just like all of the other rich parents, kinam’s boyfriend’s parents had paid the police to erase their attendance by claiming they had taken off to another part of town. it was his first time experiencing how easily corrupted the officials are but kinam doesn’t dare complaining, knowing it would get both himself and the man he loved in huge trouble. so, he shuts his mouth instead but the guilt eats away at him on the inside. The newly found piece of truth does not sit with him well and it’s only a matter of time until the secrecy and the suffocating feeling of being indebted drives the pair apart.

be the change you want to see in the world, is the mindset kinam adopts himself as he applies to the police academy. he’s seen injustice and kinam has taken it upon himself to correct it.

it’s been a couple of years since kinam graduated the academy but the more he sees and learns the more he questions his own abilities to be a positive influence on the force. it is corrupted and bent, the temptation of just taking the money over doing hours of pointless administrative work growing with every passing day. guess the question is how long it will take until kinam gives in?

INTERVIEW.

1. what do you do for a living?? e.g. student, full time work, part time, etc.

“i am an officer of the law.”

2. how and where do you see yourself being in 5 years?? e.g. career wise, financially, relationship and connections wise.

“in five years, i’m hoping to finally be promoted to a detective. don’t get me wrong, being out on the streets is just as rewarding but it’s not why I joined the force. I like to believe I have something more to offer.” kinam hesitates whether or not he should answer the second part of the question as well, grown accustomed to keeping that part of his life private at all times. “a relationship would be nice as well but experience has taught me that police officers aren’t exactly favorable on the market.”

3. where do you fall on daegu’s societal hierarchy spectrum?? e.g. are you one of the upper class wealthy types or the lower class ‘underground’ type and how has this affected your attitude towards the hierarchy of the town??

“i have always fallen somewhere on the middle of the spectrum. i’m in no position to complain since i never had to struggle. my family has always been able to live comfortably but it was only after starting my job that i realized the kind of effects it had on the less fortunate.”

4. how do you feel about where you personally fit in the social hierarchy of the town and what are your intentions because of this?? e.g. do you aim to create a more equal, modern system for all citizens or are you quite happy with how the situation stands between the wealthy and the lesser off??

“something obviously needs to change but there is only so much I can do as an officer of the law. it’s my job to abide to the law and make sure the public does as well. Iitry to be as fair as i can be while on the job but my first priority will always be the public’s safety so when it comes to actual conflict there is little i can do but diffuse the situation.”

5. what are your goals and aspirations for the future??

“happiness, justice, love… you know, all the clichés a human could possibly wish for.”
