Which Is Why I'm Going To Be Adamant That The Eighth Sense Is Going To End Happily.

I know you've gotten a bunch of asks like this. But, you've made me pay attention to and try to analyse colours in the stuff I watch. And I feel like it makes me enjoy media less and more at the same time. But I think it's good. Like, it makes it impossible to really watch something passively. Even if I'm kinda bored by the plot I'll be like "ooh, he's wearing a red shirt, what could that mean". I think we should all engage in media in a kinda analysis way. I think it makes us think more and also makes it more fun. So, yeah, thanks, I guess. :)

Anon, I don't get asks like this. I usually get tags like, "PETTY RUINED MY LIFE! I HATE THEM!" but it's very much the same energy, and I appreciate it.

I completely understand what you mean about being entertained by the tiny details even if the plot is lacking (Cutie Pie, I love you, but you know that plot could've been wrapped up in six episodes), but I hope that you grow to enjoy shows MORE rather than simulateously liking them less and more due to not being able to watch them passively.

I believe it allows me to like shows more because I can see if my theories based on the colors and background noise are legit.

Which is why I'm going to be adamant that The Eighth Sense is going to end happily.

I saw today on Instagram somebody questioning why the shower scene was filtered red.

I Know You've Gotten A Bunch Of Asks Like This. But, You've Made Me Pay Attention To And Try To Analyse

But in my mind, it seemed like an easy color choice to show desire mostly when Jae Won is naturally dark

And since Ji Hyun is the lighter one of them

Even in the promo pictures

And red seems to pop up when Jae Won is being affectionate

And Jae Won was backlit by red (pink) when he spoke freely to Ji Hyun on the beach

Even when they were in the dark (yet Ji Hyun was still lighter)

It just made sense to me for the shower scene to be filtered red to show Jae Won's deepening attraction to Ji Hyun. Ya know?

Which also made me think that no show that gives me a color exchange can end tragically.

In my Elle Woods voice, "Each boy has a color scheme. Color schemes give you color-coded boys in love. Color-coded boys in love just don't die. They just don't!"

See? Makes perfect (eighth) sense to me.

Start watching The Eighth Sense, you won’t regret it I bet. I know if there’s color shenanigans yet bc I’ve been too lost in the sauce regarding everything else in the show (the direction, acting, chemistry, BGM, cinematography, story, VIBES) to pay attention. So far there’s only 2 episodes out, and it looks ridiculously promising!!

@mineonmain, you wanted me to watch the show that begins with this scene accompanied by a heartbeat

Only to slowly disintegrate into this scene with an ambulance siren?

You want me to watch the show that then cuts to Jae Won clearly sitting in a therapist's office next to the fish tank which is going to represent the ocean he probably hasn't been back to since his HEART WAS BROKEN AT THE BEACH?

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Super excited to find out how Jae Won's brother died or disowned him. Even more excited to observe how Jae Won's emotions continue to get masked by different elements in the shot, or how much dark clothing they can put on him compared to Ji Hyun's lighter colors (blue) because everyone needs balance

Glad the baby gay is flexing a little gay muscle with his rainbow light

And super glad this is going to hurt me in a very particular way

Because a show sponsored by IKEA and energy drinks can only cause me unimaginable mental damage, no?

And a show produced by a company with "moonlight" in its name will hurt me regardless if it has a happy ending or not because historically, queer media associated with moonlight, like 2016's Moonlight and 2023's Moonlight Chicken, will always strive for maximum emotional angst.
