#Sang-Hwa

[could-they-be-a-pro-wrestler]

Rules (short version: imagine this is the actual UFC):

No weapons

No outside help

No special powers

Let me emphasize this…COMPLETELY DEPOWERED

This is not a fight to the death

There are rules in place, so fighters can’t just go crazy and try to kill their opponent

La novelista y su película (So-seol-ga-ui Yeong-hwa, 2022)

[queensqewed0722]

Joo Sang-hwa

He’s been Lee In’s right hand man and personal bodyguard for the longest time. Judging from their interactions, I would surmise that they may have grown up and trained together in the warrior arts.

Out of all the people around him, Joo Sang-hwa is probably the only person - with the exception of his former master and Hee-soo’s father, Kang Hang-soon - whom Lee In trusts implicitly.

Thus, I think it’s reasonable to assume that Joo Sang-hwa is one of the few people who know the truth about Mongwoo. At least, the fact that she is a woman. Being an astute and observant person (he wouldn’t be an effective captain of the King’s guards if he weren’t), I’m sure Sang-hwa already had his suspicions early on. However, being the discreet and loyal right hand man that he is, he keeps his opinions to himself.

When the rumors of Lee In having a preference for men circulated, as supposedly evidenced by the fact that he never bedded any of his wives, not even the Queen, Sang-hwa didn’t seem to look perturbed. Perhaps because he already knew the real reason why Lee In refused to consummate his union with any of them.

As for the strange affection and preference that Lee In had for Mongwoo, I think it was more of a puzzle to Sang-hwa than anything. Perhaps he was mulling over it in his head. He didn’t have any reaction when Lee In only emerged from Lord Kang Hang-soon’s the next morning. Maybe he had already pieced everything together in his head so he already suspected the truth.

I think by the time Lee In had him “capture” Hee-soo and delivered her to him, Sang-hwa was already full aware of what was going on between his king and the gidaeryong. Maybe that’s why he takes care of Hee-soo, not just because Lee In ordered him to do so, but because he knows just how much she matters to his king. Hence, he will protect her and her secret because if it comes out, it can destroy Lee In.

In any case, I love his friendship with Lee In.

Auto-Advance Group 3

[somanykdramas]

NO GAIN, NO LOVE

GENRES: Comedy, Romance

SUMMARY: When love is a game of wins and losses, sometimes it’s difficult to know when you’ve won the jackpot.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Selfless foster parents, childhood trauma, murder, stray cats, wedding cash, funeral cash, distorted memories, shaggy hair-dos, boxes of dildos, erotic friend fiction, terrible exes, and corporate greed.

HOT TAKE: Just like the main character's outlook on life's wins and losses, there's a lot to love about this show...but there's also a lot to dislike.

I love the body and sexual positivity of this show. These women understand that sex and romance come in many forms and there's no taboo surrounding their support and their own satisfaction. I love the blunt communication in this show. Everyone says what they mean when they mean it and there's no tropey, missed-opportunity silence.

The show tries to make fun of established drama tropes in a cheeky, meta way, and in some ways it works. For other plot lines that just don't hit the landing, it makes you realize the last time you heard about it was episode 1.

I really want to love Kim Young Dae for more than his pretty face. HIs acting has been getting better, but I think he thinks that his face acting is more effective than it actually is. I think this show has finally shown me that I enjoy him more in comical scenes where he can use a range of emotion more effectively than the steely-eyed romancer.

Hwayoung: Purple

Pink as Injoo's color

Pink orchid have meaning: Romance, Love, Friendship

Injoo's main plot always not far from her sisters and Hwayoung. Her love for them is driving force that keep made Injoo move foward

Intellegence: Hwayoung had planned things very further and details, and outsmarting Sangah's manipulation

Mystery: Hwayoung is central mystery of the story

Hwayoung's Apartment

Hwayoung's apartment wallpaper at South Korea have purple as main color. The wallpaper also used as background for one of main poster

***

Purple and Pink on title of Little Women

In opening sequence, the title Little Women have purple with pink shade as background color

In each ending of episode, the title Little Women appear before credits, usually appear in white text and black screen, before the text got painted. The first color of paint in text is Pink and Purple

Which is color of Injoo and Hwayoung

It's like indicating how Little Women's plot story, beside the Oh Sisters, mostly will be around Injoo and Hwayoung

***

A glimpse of Pink and Purple color on Injoo and Hwayoung's clothes at South Korea

At South Korea, Injoo mostly wear earth color pallete clothes and Hwayoung mostly wear colorless (black/white) clothes

(more explaination on Part 2: Earthenspoon & Nospoon)

But in 1st episode, there's small purple part in Hwayoung clothes. And when Injoo "playing rich", she wear pink clothes.

It's like hinting how they are part of Princess of Thieves later in story

***

Cinderella and Fairygodmother

Hwayoung and Injoo in restaurant scene heavily referenced from Cinderella

Hwayoung is like Fairygodmother who dressing Injoo, the Cinderella, to "playing rich"

The Purple color on Hwayoung and Pink color on Injoo is similar with purple color on Cinderella's Pink dress and Fairygodmother's Purple cloak

***

Color Mood of Princess of Thieves

In each scene when Injoo had thinking or talking about Hwayoung, the color mood around her change into combination of Pink and Purple; the color of Princess of Thieves

Quoting from Choo Jahyun (Hwayoung's actress)'s interview:

"It felt like Goeun (Injoo's actress) was living as both Injoo and Hwayoung at the same time in Little Women"

The combination of pink and purple color mood on those scenes is like symbolized how Injoo and Hwayoung become one on Injoo's mind

***

The Intruder: Yellow

On Princess of Thieves that appear on Singapore's auction, the flower has little shade of Yellow

Which is color of Won Sangah and fake!Hwayoung's dress on Singapore

Won = name of Korean money currency

Korean highest currency (50,000) has color of Yellow

Yellow = Sangah and Won Family = Capitalism

Yellow vs Purple

On color wheel theory, Yellow and Purple are color that opposite to each other

Symbolized how Hwayoung (Purple) and Sangah (Yellow) are total opposite

In opening sequence, Oh sisters were drawn mostly with shade of purple, and their background is yellow.

Indicating how the sisters are like "actors" in Sangah's play vs Hwayoung; how the battle between those masterminds was told from three sisters' perspective

It's also symbolized how Sangah = Yellow = Money = Capitalism is the main enemy

***

The Shadow of Flower

Hwayoung (화영)'s name have meaning Beautiful Flower. The writer JSK had mentioned that she want to give a name to Hwayoung that relate to Flowers because Hwayoung love gardening

In hanja, Hwayoung have secret meaning of her name: 花影 = 꽃의 그림자 = Shadow of Flower

It's like symbolising how Hwayoung is shadow part of flowers:

1. Princess of Thieves: to Injoo

At first, Hwayoung's color seems like also Pink

Hwayoung mostly wear pink on her second account/alter ego Jin Mikyung and on Injoo's imagination about Hwayoung's second life

It's like foreshadowing how Hwayoung live under Injoo's name at Singapore

On locker scene, Hwayoung seems like giving off her pink clothes to Injoo. Like symbolizing she's fully giving the pink side of Princess of Thieves to Injoo, together with all money and Bruno Zumino shoes that she give to her on the bag

2. Blue Ghost Orchid: to Sangah and Won Family/Jeongran

The surname Jin (진) on Jin Hwayoung is to give impression that Hwayoung is came from place that far away (indeed in character description of Hwayoung on official website, it's written Hwayoung is not from Seoul and came to there to work on Orchid Construction). If we look to Jin in Chinese surname version, it has meaning GOLD

It's like secret meaning on how Hwayoung in back have so many money and assets, because she's part of secret society Jeongran and worked for Won family

***

Thief Princess

There's Little Women OST titled "Thief Princess"

The OST indeed mostly got played in some scene that relate to Injoo or/and Hwayoung:

When Injoo decided to search the truth behind Hwayoung's death, and she look to the unbloomed Princess of Thieves

When Sangah give Injoo a blue suit, and then Injoo remembering how Hwayoung give her a black suit before this

When Hwayoung confess that she want Injoo to be happy on court scene
