The realm of the dreamers

Myojakdo (Painting of Cats and Sparrows)" is painted by Byeon Sang-byeok, 17th century

Painting of a Cat by Jun Hou, Joseon Dynasty (I had trouble finding a proper source for this one in English)

“Yellow Cat Romps Butterfly” by Kim Hong-do (1745-1806)

And stares at her from behind it?

This is so unnecessary, give me more!

Thank you

one of my favorite things about 'perfect crown' so far is the absolutely gorgeous use of color psychology — from the start they've shown lee ahn in cool, severe tones — black, white, deep green, royal blue. while heejoo arrives in a crush of crimson, yellow, pink. she is raw emotion – while he is restricted pain.

even during the horse-riding scene, they show lee ahn on a white horse: purity, sacrifice, reserve. & they choose to have heejoo canter onto the screen on a dark horse: intensity, drive, shadow-heritage.

it's such a subtly beautiful way to underscore the many streaks of difference mapped in their personalities. heejoo is fire-coded; while lee ahn is water: & in many ways the show has a refreshing take on courtship as well. heejoo is the one pursuing lee ahn: actively seeking him out, openly making overtures/flirting — the fact that the show actually has lee ahn flare his fan out in front of his face (traditionally a very feminine action) after her initial proposal — is quite unarguably a very bold move & extremely heartening to see.

I missed you. Even though I saw you yesterday.

One... Two...

I intend to enjoy every opportunity my enemy enjoys.

I'd rather play dirty and win than play clean and lose.
