Semantic (Color) Error

Sang Woo and Jae Young are color-coded boys in love.

So what are their colors?

If you thought red and blue, you'd be WRONG!

The opening credits and scenes declare what they are:

Their colors are blue and green.

Sang Woo is a blue boy. He is confident, stable, and intelligent.

Jae Young is a green guy. He is lively, hopeful, and easygoing.

He even draws Sang Woo in his color on the wanted posters.

The only reason Jae Young wears red is to bother Sang Woo.

Jae Young borrows most of the red items from his friends.

He begins wearing red when looking for Sang Woo before he is aware Sang Woo hates the color *the "SINNER" jacket*

When they first meet, they both wear black, but Jae Young is backed up by his fake red. *the "DIE BITCH" jacket*

Black tends to be their neutral color.

When they're hiding out in the clothes, they are neutral in black with their colors behind them until the red light comes on, referring to Jae Young's fake red that bothers Sang Woo.

Exchanging colors

While at the bar, Jae Young is upset at Sang Woo for ignoring him, so he plays darts with his fake red and Sang Woo's blue.

He rescues Sang Woo, and they have a tender moment. The next day, Sang Woo tries on red.

And Jae Young picks up blue even though there is a red outfit he could wear.

But Sang Woo doesn't like this (because he has the fake red), and retreats into a dark blue while Jae Young remains neutral black. *see the barrier that divides them demonstrated by the wall behind them: Sang Woo in the darker color (wants to remain in the dark about his feelings) and Jae Young in the lighter color (because he is aware of his feelings)*

However, Sang Woo can't truly let Jae Young go and continues to use Jae Young's fake red when he usually uses black. *remember Jae Young placed a red pen on Sang Woo's shelf after the bar incident*

Sang Woo realizes he made a mistake and goes to see Jae Young at the restaurant. He is still in his blue, but now he is surrounded by Jae Young's real color, green.

Jae Young rejects him, but Sang Woo tries again, this time fully understanding how important Jae Young is, so he wears Jae Young's green to reflect that.

After this, Jae Young incorporates Sang Woo's blue into his wardrobe.

The two become closer, and eventually kiss.

Each is highlighted by the other's color: Sang Woo in Jae Young's green, and Jae Young in Sang Woo's blue.

But, per usual, Sang Woo is confused and goes to Jae Young's studio in Jae Young's fake red while Jae Young is in neutral black.

Jae Young makes Sang Woo realize what he has been feeling (no fake red anymore, but pure green). EDIT: @grapejuicegay spotted that when Sang Woo agrees to the two-week trial period, he does so in a blue and green thumbs up sweater.

Sang Woo decides to be honest in the same shirt he wore the first time he yelled at Jae Young and showed him emotion - the merged green and blue flannel shirt.

After that, Sang Woo is in love and in Jae Young's green

Until Jae Young tells Sang Woo he got accepted into an oversees program, then both boys are struggling with their feelings and retreat back to their colors *Sang Woo's beloved blue bike*

But all ends well, and they merge their colors and love together with a hint of fake red (blue bedding with green pillows)

And the Semantic (Color) Error was fixed!

Went through 25 stages of grief and we learned he was alive I actually laughed from how relieved I was

Spoilery stuff below on episode 7:

Before watching this episode, I’d read someone’s comment that in the film version of the show Ji Hyun was alive after episode 6.

Everything though, from the silent opening, to what the characters were saying & their actions & reactions, had me thinking that Ji Hyun had actually died, right up until Jae Won said that he’d *almost* died in ICU.

I can’t remember what other show has taken me from devasted, depressed & confused (like if Ji Hyun was dead what on earth were the remaining episodes going to be about - one character’s grief dealing with the death of a loved one?) to elated & so relieved with just one sentence!

Ryu Si Oh : Orphan. "Adopted" by the mafia at a young age. Lived trough emotional and physical abuse. Raised to not feel emotions. Had a friend which he lost due to the mafia. Was raised to not feel for others. Trying to escape the mafia with the antidote of the drug which he only has. Finally opens up to someone. Is vulnerable and talk about his trauma. Tender. Cares about her. Wants her to be safe. Wants her to be happy. Great chemistry

Gang Hee Sik : Cop. Has a dead brother. Have more chemistry with the mother of the lead than the lead.

And then people will somehow be surprised that we like Si Oh more.. He has way more depths and character to him

Truly impressed at Perfect Marriage Revenge for turning poison testing into peak romantic behavior

[beeedelweiss]

do guk after watching his bride try to bash in her stepmother's head with a decorative vase: girl this does not match my vision board for today

[beeedelweiss]

perfect marriage revenge is such a delight so far it's given us:

a middle-aged women in a full ass fucking ball gown knocking over outdoor lawn chairs while in a rage

backstory related to a tragic family yacht incident

attempted murder via wedding decor

royalty free squid games music

the male lead going to sleep in chico's for men business casual just so there could be a gratuitous shirt-ripping scene

sung hoon's most expressive acting in years, done for a scene where he tries and fails to eat a brownie

gas station food as a love language

critical white collar conglomerate business decisions voted upon in a public high school gymnasium

an ex-loan shark de-pantsing the male lead's grandma at a coffee shop

watch it.

The hand shot actually sent me to my grave.

The timer.

The way his huge hands can hold her tiny little hand like that...

Living in my head rent free

This is AMAZING!!!!

Oh my GOD! "Use me," he said. And she did. This is pretty epic - he's in love and she knows he is, she's not (or not realizing her feelings) and he knows she isn't, and they bang with him wanting to make love and her merely wanting physical release and ummm I have NOT seen dramas do that before. MMMM

I love that the choice is always hers.

So gorgeous!!!!!

It's like a dam breaks. That makeout is INSANE!!!!!

I love that she's a full participant, see her going for his shirt, go get it girl!

She wants him bad and it's glorious!

Hahaha he rips his shirt off in the best harlequin tradition and I love it. I mean, show off all those hours of work in the gym, thank you!

This is the hottest make out I've ever seen in a kdrama!

AAAAAAA! (But you know if she really insisted he stop, he would.)

But she doesn't and so off they go again...

I love the shot of their hands and seeing the timer on his hand too! In case we needed confirmation he's a transmigrator too!
