#applause to the production folks because every week they have earned their paychecks

BL Land has had some amazing shows this year, but with one episode left, I can easily state that Bad Guy, My Boss is easily one of my favorites. No hesitation. I know it's not the best, but every single episode, the people behind the scenes have earned their paychecks. Consistently!

For example, I didn't need these two fools to declare their undying love for each other.

Because the show already told me they desperately love each other in the seventh episode when they got the pink lighting.

And I've been knowing these two were in love.

Because their colors have started to sync.

Unlike Fie Long and Run who are truly light and dark, and like it like that.

Pat and Elyes try to balance each other out.

And we see it in the colors.

Elyes and Pat are at the worst when they are at extreme odds.

Which is why their love exists in the colors.

There's grays and blues.

There's neutrals.

So in comparison to Fei Long and his tracker on Run's phone, it's clear that Elyes is lighter.

Because Elyes isn't going to magically be the lightest guy all the time, but the colors, wardrobe, and angles show us that even though Pat and Elyes are on the same side, Elyes cannot be as dark as he has been.

He has to comprise.

So to end this episode with Fei Long, all in black, slowly dissolving the barrier between the two of them.

And Elyes light and Pat "dark" in his blue/gray emphasizes that they really do balance each other.

So regardless of what wild loosey goosey shenanigans take place every week, the people working on this show all understood what needed to happen.

And they've done it, every single week.

Bless.
