Watched the first ep of Daha 17 and it’s actually good , like it gives me yabani vibes I love it !!

Also I knew teoman was aras’s brother because boi is the only blonde dude in the whole show but I love how aras found out !

Also I rly want the two brothers to team up against their parents’ killers.

i think probably my fav thing about taşacak bu deniz is the platonic relationships. it’s kryptonite for me and i love how they all play out: adil fadime, adil eleni, esme eleni, esme fadime, fadime eleni, adil iso, esme iso as well (sorry, i don’t vibe with oruc in any capacity). they’re all so tender while being so layered and it adds to the richness of the story.

i was reading this tweet about adil and fadime where the op wrote adil as fadime’s north star who never fringes on fadime’s boundaries. the more i think about it the more i love it bec adil is the reason why fadime is so self assured, capable, and independent. he gave her the confidence to do and be anything without trying to limit her because she’s a woman; without ruling over her like tbd patriarchal culture implies. she’s her own person and adil is there to support and witness her grow up to the woman she is.

fadime can protect herself and also protect him - adil doesn’t doubt it or deny her either. he never violates her boundaries. adil would walk into esme’s space without knocking but for fadime or eleni, he always gives them their privacy and space. he tries to understand them and where they’re coming from even if fadime came back literally married or eleni liking an unavailable/unsuitable man.

when zarife said fadime is kocari’s heart, she wasn’t wrong. the road to adil goes through fadime, first and foremost. she’s the reason he was able to get through those long 20 years; through the grief of his parents’ death, through esme’s abandonment. adil pushed through because little fadime was there and she needed him. he stepped up for her in every way possible and she became his anchor long before anyone else.

this is also why fadime is the only one who has truly seen Adil go through his grief. they know each other best - she knows when he’s sad and lonely, same as he knows when she’s breaking apart even if she’s joking around. honestly my favourite part is that adil doesn’t hide his grief from her - yes, he tries to put on a brave face but he’s still honest. he’s not protecting her from his pain but rather he just lets it be. which basically means he’s been leaning on her too when he’s hurting; that’s why she’s so tuned in to his emotions too. all fadime needs is to look at him and know he’s not okay. this is the only reason why fadime knows his history with esme and how he has been hurting for 20 years.

anyway, the point of this post was to say that i love the complexity and depth of platonic relationships and i hope tbd team doesn’t destroy or diminish them for any reason whatsoever.

Now that I'm watching My Royal Nemesis for color-coded reasons, I can easily see that this arrogant Black Brooder is in love . . . despite what his face might be saying.

Yes, *this* man is a man in love.

And he is in love with this crazy passionate Red Rascal who smears ox blood on herself to prepare for battle and ward off evil spirits.

So when red shows up around him, if it was anyone else, I would think it's because he is extremely upset and experiencing rage, but because he can't stop thinking of that crazy Red Rascal who turned him down, I know it's because he is in love.

The red just seems to follow him almost like he can't escape it.

But then again, he doesn't really want to.

Because even though Cha Se Gye can't remember his previous life, he was blinded my Shin Seo-Ri's dazzling light even in the past.

So for a man who only knows darkness and comes across as a storm cloud most of the time, it must be refreshing to meet a woman who would rather live on the rooftop in the open air.

Cha Se Gye exists in dark spaces handing out punishments to those who have wronged him.

He hides behind a mask to scare others away.

Which is exactly what he had to do in his previous life.

But now he has met a woman who pushes him to step into the light, so she can clearly see his true nature.

Which is why I had a tiny theory that these two are softening each other's hard exteriors and returning to their true colors.

I think Shin Seo-Ri is actually a kind and caring Pink Person.

Yes, *this* woman is a kind and caring woman.

Which is probably why she got the dog she loved from her previous life back in her present life in the form of her menace of a neighbor.

Yes *this* man was a dog. Literally.

And Shin Seo-Ri took care of him before an evil man came along and ruined everyone's day and lunch by being evil because Shin Seo-Ri, in spite of everything that has happened to her, wants to help others like the old man who needed help looking for his grandson.

And this is why I think Shin Seo-Ri's color is lightening up since she is constantly helping Cha Se Gye without realizing it. It's also why I think her cell phone went from red (below) to pink (above).

And maybe that's why Shin Seo-Ri's coffee truck was pink because, although it wasn't her who paid for it, she was still providing something to the hardworking cast and crew.

The pink even occurred when Shin Seo-Ri mixed the wines together in an effort to unite the East x West.

So it should have been odd that she kept ending up in blue in episode six.

Until I remembered that Cha Se Gye was once a loyal and intelligent Blue Boy.

So even if in the current life he hasn't completely shed his black, he has traded in his black car for a blue 2026 Maserati MCPURA.

And just like Cha Se Gye who couldn't seem to escape the red, Shin Seo-Ri can't seem to shake the blue.

Or the past.

In their current life, Cha Se Gye gave Shin Seo-Ri two dozen red roses, but in the past, he simply gave her one red peony because it stood out, just like she does.

And just like the past, Cha Se Gye can't help but stop and admire the beauty.

Because he is a man in love.

With the woman who brings light to his life.

Each and every single one of them.

This is so well analysed and articulated.

TASACAK BU DENIZ EP 30 TRAILER MADE ME CRY.

I can’t wait for the episode, I’m so glad my Koçari family is together …

Also oruc and iso deserve whatever’s gonna happen to them , they shouldn’t have sacrificed other ppl happiness and their families to save their own , who IMO is the last family they should’ve saved 🙄

And the ANNE BABA and the CRYING ?!?! IN TEARS oh my I love them so much ❤️❤️❤️

The seagull sounds coming out of me right now—honestly they could have stopped at the wrist kiss 🥵

[captainjoongki]

thee wrist kiss™ causing this much of a mass psych ward escapee situation amongst every aspect of viewers (korean, international, probably some aliens in space), is proof that the girls just yearn for subtle, timeless displays of affection that kdramas romances used to deliver consistently but have reduced in recent years. yes, a kiss scene and a bed scene are fun whatever but a WRIST KISS? a hand wrapped around the back of your head in a hug? that is what gets us to lose our collective shit. that is the undoing of us all.

[dangermousie]

Why is every episode of My Royal Nemesis better than the last?

[consigliere-vincenzo]

I love how we’re all collectively losing it with Segye’s wrist kiss. I missed this kind of classic kdrama meltdown.

[captainjoongki]

also. dare i say my royal nemesis is a great absolutely fantastic example of how to write a strong female lead AND a strong male lead who each stand on their own. they both at first glance are rude, arrogant, "evil". but they actually have legit arcs and reasons to be? and even when he falls for her, he still remains the same way to everyone else cause he is who he is? AND that is why he fell for her because he knows she's the exact same way as him? and we understand fully why she won't jump into his feelings because of the burdens she has? and it is all actual burdens not goofy excuses, like she's from the PAST and was USED by her parents and rose as a concubine only to get betrayed by the king and got poisoned to literal death!

yes the couple pairing is fantastic amazing chemistry, but segye and seori/danshim on their own are phenomenal characters that i am not even upset when the couple aren't together on my screen cause their individual plots are that good.

[shakilyluckyknowledge]

You know what the tasacak bu deniz fans need? A fix-it au.

[respectthepetty]

Am I watching My Royal Nemesis simply because I noticed it was color-coded?

NO! I started watching it because I noticed the almost $4,000 red leather Gucci purse.

And that's how I realized the purse (along with everything else) was color relevant.

So now I am watching it because it's color coded.

But that's not the only reason I'm watching it! I'm also watching it because it's sun and moon coded/light x dark dynamic, which is why an eclipse happened in both timelines.

But also, there's a whole thing about red flowers, specifically peonies, "the king of flowers," and how they are the most beautiful flower in a garden full of beautiful flowers.

(The flowers are her)

Because she was the most beautiful flower blooming in the royal garden before she was plucked and crushed.

But she wasn't always the red flower and her love interest wasn't always the dark cloud.

He was blue. Loyal. Smart. Kind (to her).

And she was pink, even in the current timeline.

So I think the past and the present Shin Seo-Ri are the same person since the grandmother mentioned an accident occurred and Shin Seo-Ri forgot who she was then, so maybe she had an accident at work again and woke up with full memories of her past life . . . but that's not what this post is about. It's about the colors, and how slowly, these two are getting back to their softer colors.

Instead of always being red and black, they are gradually moving to pink and blue one color step at a time.

And it's probably because they found each other again in the midst of an eclipse with a shining red comet included.

Or maybe it's because love (mixed with this bokeh effect) reveals everyone's true color.

Either way, count me in!

Update : I still hate oruc idc what he does.

Eleni wouldn’t be all alone and thanking oruc for not leaving her alone if he had told her abt her mother ?! Like she’s only getting close to him because she has no one else !!!

Eleni deserves the world and oruc deserves whatever Adil has in store for him 🤟🏾
