This is the highest rated Korean drama right now.

"A Business Proposal" is now a social media sensation. The rating is also continuously growing, but in fact, this is not the highest rated drama today.

In the drama field, "Twenty Five, Twenty One" is highly appreciated for its quality, while, on social media and drama review sites, it is "Semantic Error" that has received a lot of praise.

"Semantic Error" is a passionate drama adapted from the webtoon of the same name, played by young actor couple Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan.

Because it's a BL (Boys Love) romantic drama, it's understandable that "Semantic Error" is not showing on television, so its coverage is a bit less hot than the recently released blockbuster series.

But it's not that "Semantic Error" gave in, instead, the drama received extremely high scores and number of reviews on film and television review-aggregation sites, even being the work that received the highest score of Korean dramas in the first quarter of 2022.

On IDMb, the drama received an almost absolute high score of 9.3 points, while its closest competitor "Twenty Five, Twenty One" brought back 9.0 points. These are the two Korean dramas that received the highest scores in the list of dramas released earlier this year.

On Douban, a Chinese drama review website - a market that bans romantic dramas, "Semantic Error" still appeared and received a score of 8.7.

"Semantic Error" is about the romance of game developer Choo Sang Woo and designer Jang Jae Young. Choo Sang Woo is a principled person, he is a student of the Faculty of Computer Engineering.

Jang Jae Young is the star of the school and an introvert, with a model-like body and good looks, he is a student of the Faculty of Design.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

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.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

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.
