I read the raws but I'm just leaving a comment here for keepsake
It's so interesting to me how the story came across as poignant and vivid to me despite it being mostly black and white. Is it the panelling? The close peering into the characters' point of view? I feel like I've lived at least a day of their lives, like I WAS them. But at the same time I was just an observer, just peering in, watching their the characters sway, bend, break.
It is a story that utilizes a lot of smut; smut just might very well be this bl's selling point, but at the same time, this was more than just smut to me. I feel deeply for both the characters. They're just so beautiful to me, so pure, which, again, is ironic considering the amount of smut.
Idk if this was explained in the translated version, but Myeongdo's name is literally "brightness level" and in that scene the morning after Myeongdo finally admitted his feelings for Cheongok, Cheongok was portrayed against the bright light of that morning. And when they laid back down together, they were both finally in color.
I interpreted that as Myeongdo finally letting down his walls to let light in, and letting the light in means letting the colors show themselves. The colors have always been there. To Myeongdo it was just a matter of seeing them or not. I would argue that he didn't even know that his world was black and white. But that scene was very impressive to me. It was the first time they were both shown in color, the first time they both felt at peace, certain.
This feels like gibberish I don't know what I'm writing. I hope I come back here and edit this after another read (expect two years)
