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.

In the series within Deep In, Linlin states that Gao Zhun painted replicas of Giuseppe Arcimboldo's The Four Seasons, which depicts the four stages of life through portraits using plants, fruits, and vegetables corresponding to each specific time of year.
It's worth noting that Linlin only turns around when passing by the Summer one, which is meant to symbolize a person in her prime. At this point, the person is the most beautiful and the most vital. Interesting enough, the painting is the only one to include foreign plants not native to the land.
When Gao Zhun returns home after getting upset at Fang Chi, he remains stuck right after Summer right before Autumn, which represents stability and transitions.
But he also appears to be stuck in hell since he cannot accept the changes that are happening within him.
But what's even more interesting is the fact that Giuseppe Arcimboldo painted several copies of this set because they were so popular.
Many museums have one or two paintings, but the only complete set that survived is housed in the Louvre, yet that is not the original series. It was made about ten years after the first.
So, in a sense, they are all copies, just like everything Zhen Xin and Zhang Zhun do.
They are replicating a feeling or a moment.
But, at this point, does it matter what was the original?
They keep arguing that what they feel is because of the characters they are portraying, but the show has told us this is their third time acting with each other, regardless of how brief the previous times were.
So is their acting this great because of the way they feel outside of the scene or are do they feel this way about each other because of how well they are acting within the scenes?
Does it even matter which since even the replicas are valuable? The point still remains in the copies.
Ever had a moment where you look at a man just being normal, and it is takes your breath away?
God, Tay Tawan just can't be out here looking this beautiful without some kind of warning. I need advance notice that him simply existing on a lounge chair is going to awaken century-old instincts to protect and care for another human being against my better judgement.

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.
