An excellently paced drama that is worthy of a watch.

One of my 'palate cleansers' of this month, I absolutely loved every minute of Semantic Error. The storyline is not uncommon, but I was amazed by how each episode was shot.
Considering that it only has 20 minutes per episode, the pace never falters -- we clearly watch the characters, Jaeyoung and Sang Woo, develop their hate to love relationship and I'm impressed by how nothing seemed rushed or unconvincing.

I admit, I grinned like a fool whenever something happened. It had the perfect mix of comedy and romance. (Guess this is going to be a guilty pleasure watch for sure.)

A shout out to the script writers and the actors without whom this drama would've definitely landed somewhere in my 5 - 7 scale.
I adored the lead characters and Jaeyoung's friends in particular. Their presence was necessary to highlight the extraverted Jaeyoung's emotions. Sang Woo, being the loner, handled all his emotions himself. (Or tried to... the first 10 minutes of episode 7 will forever remain iconic to me.)

It's highly enjoyable. Not a masterpiece, but not a completely average drama either.
