‘Semantic Error’, which was started serially by a low-profit writer in 2018, won the Grand Prize in the BL Novel category at RediBooks in the same year, and webtoons have been produced and serialized thanks to popularity since July last year.

So, netizens said, “Why not???”, “If you don’t please…..”, “Let me just keep it as an imagination….”, “It’s fortunate that the producer is not a nameless place…. “, “I’m curious about who will play the role lol”, “I’m still curious about this??”
