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!

I keep seeing people being surprised about I-An wanting to abolish the monarchy... Have we been watching the same show?? They've established since episode 1 that this class system is unhealthy. Not ONCE has it been portrayed as a good thing.

I-An has lived a fairly miserable life and has watched most of his family suffer as well. It would be MORE surprising for this show to end with them becoming king and queen. There's no way in hell he would produce heirs to grow up to experience the same outdated BS that he's has to put up with.

This is the only ending that makes sense. And it's been the obvious ending since episode 1. And as far as his ambitions go, he either wants that power and feels bad about it because he knows the monarchy can't continue, or he has always wanted to abolish the monarchy once he becomes king. Which is a huge decision to make and not one to make lightly. It doesn't feel like a character contradiction. It's the natural conclusion (and includes some nice character growth as they both give up power and title for a happy future together).
