THE RED SLEEVE: THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY

My feelings are all over the place with this one - it’s an amazing show, don’t get me wrong, but I’m just so hurt and so frustrated because I knew those two people would never have a happy ending - and that’s just.. ugh. Excruciating, really.

For me, this is not a love story - it can never be - because of what Deok-im has wanted her whole life: agency, her own life, and the freedom to make her own choices. She fought so hard against her heart, only to end up wasting away in bed, waiting for the King to arrive. It was a death sentence.

I feel like her life as a concubine, along with the loss of her child and her best friend, was what really killed her. It’s not necessarily San’s fault either - he could have simply ordered her to be with him so many times in the past, but he wanted her to come to him herself. He wanted her to choose him. But he NEVER let go, either. I’ve watched so many toxic men in dramas over the years, but because Deok-im spent literal YEARS refusing to lose herself to San, he became such a terrifying figure in my eyes. Every time he declared that Deok-im belonged to him, that he would never let go, I didn’t swoon - I was frightened for everything that was to come.

On the other hand, once Deok-im finally relented and gave herself to San, I feel like her refusal to admit she loved him was half bravado - like her friend said - but also half resentment. She resented him for pushing and pushing her to accept her own feelings - only to end up caged in the palace, like a bird with clipped wings. And honestly, that was the worst thing she could have done to San - the only thing he ever wanted was to hear her finally say she loved him (even though we know she always had). That doubt became something so deep that San could never recover from even after Deok-im’s death. He wasn’t just grieving the loss of the love of his life - he was grieving being denied and rejected until the end of his life, even though he had kissed her, laughed with her, and held her close. Every time he said “I don’t care if you love me,” it felt like he was actually BEGGING her to deny it, to fight him, to finally say that she loved him. But he never, ever heard her say the words.

Even at the end, when they meet again - whether it’s in the afterlife, San’s subconscious, or wherever that place might be - he’s still begging her to love him. And even though she kisses him, she’s still not saying those three words.

That is just… devastating.

For me, that final scene wasn’t hopeful. I didn’t feel any sense of relief or closure. It felt like San was still waiting for something he was never going to hear, and Deok-im was still in that palace, locked away. It’s excruciating. My heart is HURTING.

One of them lost her agency - her dreams and the life she wanted. The other was never really able to fill his heart with the love he needed - even though both of them could have had it if they’d just loved someone else. Deok-im and San were two people who should have never been together, and that makes me feel so unbearably sad.

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.
