I’m Respect the Petty, and I love colors. I’m on my own little mission to annoy all of y’all about how colors, lighting, barriers, clothing, and other visuals enhance QLs and add depth to the story.
For those of you who keep asking me for a “Master List” (bleh!) since apparently it takes too much time to scroll through my insane amount of posts because I don't know how to stfu, here it is! Plenty of posts didn't make the cut simply because there is a limit, so I included the ones that delivered the most features from above, and if you search my tags by the series' titles, other posts regarding the show's colors should be able to be found.
The goods are below the cut 👇🏿
A quick overview of what I do and what the colors mean
Key:
Color Coding shows the main colors associated with the characters <- most of you are here for these
Barriers examine the physical barriers that separate characters in a scene and what they represent (emotions, miscommunication, etc.)
The Clothing Tells the Plot looks at a specific clothing item in a scene
Background Noise includes various elements like barriers, clothing telling the plot, lighting showing feelings, and general details for the show
Episode Reviews cover all of the above for each episode plus my unhinged ramblings

Notes:
If a link doesn't work or goes to the wrong post, let me know
If you have an ask or a request, feel free to send me a message, but be warned that I really don't shut the fuck up about colors, so you could get a ten-page report back in response
If you write a post about colors, lighting, barriers, clothing, or other visuals, feel free to tag me
I'll update this post at the end of each month depending on what discoveries I've made during that month (Updated: 4/15)
Now that you know who I am, remember that a world without colors is a world devoid of emotions and feelings, so embrace the magic and follow me down this chaotic path of visual rhetoric.

After his father's murder, Ju Taeseon imagines that his father calls him to eat.
But of course, his father is not there.
After their first investigation, Ju Taeseon takes Lee Chaeha to eat, but he eats far quicker than Chaeha, probably from years of eating alone.
Then, he takes Chaeha out to eat again at the request of Song.
Only to show up at his apartment later and eat his ice cream (from the same spoon) and drink his beer.
After the next investigation, they go eat again, and Taeseon offers Chaeha some of his food.
At the end of the workday, he takes him for another meal without Song.
And now when they eat together, he eats slower.
Beyond Song suggesting they celebrate Chaeha's first day, Taeseon is always the one to suggest eating. Together.
Taeseon is the one who misses eating with someone because even though Chaeha grew up with an abusive uncle, Taeseon is the one who was starved of human connection.

For me, the moon is you, Ko Song. When I turn off the light in my room, a light slowly shines through my window. I see you every night before I fall asleep. When I have a problem, you are always my light. My life without you would be really dull. That’s how I really feel.

The bars on either side of them -- even the curtains have deep and distinct vertical lines -- but! the bars create a little corner for them, instead of truly separating them.
Combined with the light, with Taeseon leaning into the dark and away from Chaeha and his light, while also casting a shadow that covers half of Chaeha.
Ugh, I love a narrative box.
*all of this is especially interesting as Taeseon starts crossing lines and boundaries this episode, purposely reaching towards Chaeha.
Just because Taeson woke up next to Chaeha very relaxed doesn't mean anything.
And just because it seemed like he smiled after looking at Chaeha next to him doesn't mean anything.
And just because he was real casual about getting out of that bed after cutting off Chaeha's phone so his uncle wouldn't harass him doesn't mean anything.
And just because he immediately went into the office to ask his friend to end that uncle's entire life because he is mad that the uncle keeps hurting Chaeha doesn't mean anything.
And just because he quickly ended that conversation the minute Chaeha called him doesn't mean anything.
And just because he continues to worry about Chaeha eating and only wants him to be around him and nobody else and has no shame about taking off his shirt in the office and doesn't regret sleeping with him and actually wants to continue doing it and and and and . . .
I noticed it in the last ep but today's ep just confirms it—there's something off about Chaeha's coworker, Haneul is it? He has a sinister vibe about him and I can't quite put my finger on it *squints* but I'm watching. Hopefully it's a red herring situation.
