The behind-the-scenes story was revealed that some kiss scenes in the BL (Boys Love) drama "Semantic Error" were suggested by actors Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan.

According to a report by SportsW on March 11th, the director of WATCHA's original drama "Semantic Error" announced that Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan added kiss acting in a scene without physical contact.

The director said that the ending of the 8th episode, where Sang Woo (Park Jae Chan)'s feelings burst, was originally bland because there was no touch, but Park Seo Ham, who plays Jae Young, suggested kissing.

It was then announced that the kiss scene of the epilogue was also created by the active character immersion of Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan.

The two suggested their opinions, saying that it would be weird if there was no kiss scene after grasping the character's feelings in the play.

The director praised the actors, saying that the scenes became abundant with the perfect teamwork of Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan's ideas.

"Semantic Error" is a work that drew attention by gaining favorable reviews for its outstanding acting skills, even though it has a rare genre called BL.

A drama depicting campus romance of two polar opposite youths, Choo Sang Woo, a computer engineering major and 'loner' who's living a perfectly organized life, when a snob designer and 'popular' Jang Jae Yeong came to his life like an error.

"Semantic Error" topped the TOP10 rankings immediately after its release, followed by a successful hit by ranking first in WATCHA's viewing rankings for three consecutive weeks over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Park Seo Ham entered the training center on March 10th. He will receive basic military training and fulfill his duty as a social service worker.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
