Winter Travel Woes #2: Jang Jaeyoung/Chu Sangwoo, Semantic Error
For @roncheg, who sent: “So, obvious one - Semantic error guys go to France)))) as for the scenario there is some kind of train mishap? Wrong stop, maybe? like the stations' names differ by one vowel and it is silent in French))))” (Alas, French is not one of my languages, so I couldn’t do that aspect of it proper justice, but someone else should totally write that scenario!)
Jaeyoung checked the board as they entered the train station and then grabbed Sangwoo’s hand. “We have to run!”
They got to their platform just as the train was pulling away.
“Shit, shit, shit!” Jaeyoung chanted under his breath. He turned to Sangwoo miserably. “I’m sorry.”
“Why? It wasn’t your fault the roads were icy and the bus was behind schedule.”
“I should have planned for it better. Had us leave the apartment earlier.”
Sangwoo studied him for a few seconds and Jaeyoung braced himself for the deserved scolding that was inevitably coming. “Is something wrong? You don’t usually care so much about being on time. Is there...” Sangwoo made a slightly pained expression, “...a surprise event you haven’t told me about?”
Jaeyoung found himself startled into a laugh. This wasn’t going at all the way he’d thought. “No, no, I promise, no surprises. I just...” He sighed and pulled off his beanie to scrub a hand through his hair in frustration. “I know how much you appreciate things sticking to a schedule, and I had the whole trip planned out, and you already came all the way to France, so this seemed like the least I could do, and now it’s already going wrong.”
Sangwoo’s expression cleared. “Oh, I see.” He reached out to pat Jaeyoung on the head before nudging him to put his hat back on. “Thank you for trying to make a plan. But the main thing I have learned about traveling is that plans can’t be relied on.”
He brought his backpack around to the front and pulled out a small notebook. “I looked up the times for the next three trains as well. It’s fine.” He flipped it open and held it out to Jaeyoung, who saw a meticulous table of all their travel connections, with the original planned time for each one highlighted in yellow, but the next three later times written underneath as well.
Sangwoo opened the pen pocket and brought out a green highlighter before zipping everything closed again. “Come on, let’s go back to the ticket office.”
This time, he was the one to take Jaeyoung’s hand.
“So I didn’t ruin your trip?”
“Of course not. The purpose of my trip was to see you.”
Jaeyoung grinned the rest of the way to the ticket office.

semantic error ep 4 translation shenanigans
watching a korean show with eng subs always makes me motivated to continue language learning because you just lose so much in translation!! there’s truly nothing like the original
1. 요즘 젤 피곤하게 만드는 건 선배 거든요 — “You’re the one acting like a villain all the time” my trans: these days the thing that’s tiring me out the most is you, actually (Though ngl idk if he said 제일 or 제를(저를?))
2. 그러게, 뭐가 예쁘다고 — “Yeah I hate him actually” true, what’s so good about him (he specifically uses the word “pretty” but idk how to work it into an English sentence lmao)
3. 아이 대본이 좋으면 뭐해. 로보트 너보다 감정 있겠다. 아 이거 한두 시간으로는 턱도 없겠는데 — “We have a perfectly good script here. But your acting is just terrible. We’ll need more practice than I expected” aish, what’s the point of having a good script? a robot would act with more emotion than you. One or two hours is going to be nowhere near enough practice time
4. 솔직히 말해봐 — 어 연애 해본 적 없지? — “Tell me the truth. Have you ever dated anyone? Tell me the truth. You’ve never dated anyone, right?
5. JJY: 정 불안하면 손바닥에 적든 가. — “just write it down on your palms” If you’re that nervous, just write it down on your palms
CSW: 그건 공정하지 못하잖아요 — “that won’t be fair” That wouldn’t be fair
JJY: 그렇지. 그래야 초상우 답지. - “of course. That’s why it’s abstract” (????? Lmao what) Of course, that’s the Chu Sangwoo I know
#some of these translations have me questioning whether the translators are actually fluent in Korean…#like in the next episode they translated 4 days as 3 days??#which is like a tiny error sure but#it’s not ambiguous…#and sometimes they miss nuances that are actually kinda important#this is really just transcription / 받아쓰기 practice for me#semantic error#illiteracy gang gang 🤟#kr#korean language#korean

Kouri watches Semantic Error, episodes 5-6
The flashing error messages lmao
Chu Sang-Woo reacting quite reasonably to his first boner, I see
“I’m not upset about anything! But you can’t eat lettuce.” JJY please
Are you going to screenshot his whole insta
They are definitely gonna end up where JJY works aren’t they
I’m sure this conversation is going to go very well
HE CALLED HIM HYUNG I’M –
Literally facepalming here, how has nobody in CSW’s life taught him about normal human interaction
Honey, he’s just not into you, that should be abundantly clear
‘Hyung didn’t work, let’s try sunbae!’
Glad they’ve decided to work together without working out any of their actual issues
The way JJY is tapping his feet nervously is so cute
‘I’m going to pat you on the head’ I’m screaming who raised this child
Wow, he really just went for it and then fled the scene of the crime

semantic error ep 5 argument scene — transcription & translations
(rough transcription only. there may be spelling or 뛰어쓰기 mistakes. small text is viki and big text is me)
JJY: 아니 전화라도 좀 받던가. 문자는 왜 또 다 씹어? — you weren’t answering my calls. And you ignored my texts. You could’ve at least answered my calls. And why the hell did you ignore all my texts?
CSW: 누가 걱정해 달래요? — I never asked you to care. Did I ask you to worry about me??
JJY: 이게 한동안 괜찮다가 또 시작이네. 너또 뭐가 불만인데? — i thought we were on good terms now. What’s the problem? I thought we were fine for a while but now we’re back to this again. What on earth is your problem now?
CSW: 발표 하나 같이 했다고 친한 척 하지 마요. 풀린 건 아무 것도 없고 전 선배 때문에 여전히 최악 이니까 — stop acting like we’re friends. We did that presentation together, but I still hate you. Stop acting like we’re friends just because we did one presentation together. We haven’t resolved any issues between us and you still make my life hell.
JJY: 걱정 한번 했다고 욕 ���지게 먹네 진짜 씨. 그래, 처음엔 네가 미친 놈 처럼 굴긴 했어, 어. 근데 고작 4일 했다. 그 다음해 만회 해보겠다고 빌빌댔잖아 너 한테! — I was just worried about you, and this is the way you talk to me? I’m sorry I was mean to you at first. But that only lasted three days. And I’ve been trying my best to make it up to you. Wow, so this is what I get for worrying about you. Yes okay, I acted like a crazy person at the start. But that was only for four days. After that, I fell over myself trying to make it up to you!
CSW: 제 의사와는 상관 없시요.(?) — I never wanted any of that. I never wanted any of that. (I don’t really get this. It’s sth like “that has nothing to do with my intentions” idk why 의사 is there)
JJY: 야. 사람 한순간에 할말 없게 만드는 거 존나 재주다 너. — you have a way of pushing people away. Wow. You have a real fucking talent for rendering people speechless.
CSW: 솔직히 지금도 선배 보는 거 불편하고 짜증나요. — I still hate that I see you every day. Honestly, even these days, being around you makes me uncomfortable and pisses me off.
JJY: 그동안 기분 더러워서 어떻게 참았냐? 성적 그딴 게 뭐라고 씨. 대단하다. — It must have been tough putting up with me. All you care about is grades, anyway. Pathetic. How the fuck did you put up with me for so long when you hate me that much? Are you that obsessed with your precious grades? Incredible.
CSW: 알면 지금 당장 꺼져요. — Just get out of my sight. If you’re aware then get the hell out of my sight.
JJY: 명령 하지마 이 새끼야. 다시 볼일 없을 거니까. — Don’t order me around, you bastard. You’ll never see me again. Don’t order me around, asshole. Don’t worry, you’ll never see me again.
*throws book to the ground and storms away*
CSW: 잘 됐네. — That’s better. Good.

Entertaining myself today thinking about that bit in the post-credits of Semantic Error where Jaeyoung teases Sangwoo for still not being able to design good presentation slides, and my headcanon is that while CSW has been completely impervious to absorbing nebulous “good design” concepts, he has internalized things JJY likes: clothes he would wear, the color order the throw pillows in their apartment have be arranged in, where to add another photo to the collage on the wall in a way that will seem balanced, etc. None of these ideas get extrapolated, because no one/nothing else is in the same mental category as JJY.

Kouri watches Semantic Error, episodes 3-4
All right, people who have messaged me to say this gets better, I’m trusting you
I personally would murder the guy who kept taking my seat before I started getting up at 6 AM to get there before him
‘The Art of Retaliation’ Chu Sang-Woo please
‘You and your friends got exploited because you’re dumb’ Chu Sang-Woo please
The DART! That was hot.
Of course your phone is dead lol
JJY seeing him with his wet hair like jjy.exe has stopped working
The inherent eroticism in treating your enemy’s injuries
His little glasses! They’re very cute despite obviously having no lenses.
You do look stunning today, asshole
Oh so you do know how to do group projects lol
CSW is such a little Vulcan

Kouri watches Semantic Error, episodes 7-8
CSW: No I need alcohol for this
You are both way too drunk for this discussion
It’s a good question, JJY, who did teach CSW to run away every time something confused and upset him
Seriously is there no one in CSW’s life who can tell him that it’s okay to get a boner sometimes
That awkward moment when your friend sees you reject his phone call
‘The preview ends here’ JJY please
They’re both so bad at this
Actually to be fair I agree with CSW on this, turning down a career developing opportunity for romance is usually a bad idea
‘What is your heart telling you?’ ‘I don’t care’ CSW please
CSW out here drinking a glass of lemon juice just to drown the pain of starring in a rom-com
Ah yes, the quintessential ‘running after the love interest who’s leaving while a montage of significant moments plays’! Classic
Someone go get a box for CSW to stand on
JJY in that last scene being all cute while CSW is obviously ready to get dicked down pfffft
