An over-analysis of the Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek announcement video
Because I literally can't be chill about the official announcement and love being delusional, here's me reading into everything!
Fitting for our first shot being of Yerin walking and stepping into her role as leading lady
Very similar to how we will see Sophie entering the masquerade ball
The silver shoe is a direct reference to The Lady in Silver and also feels very Cinderella
I've already seen people complain about the nails and chill. Clearly this is not Yerin in costume as Sophie. I think production has heard the criticism loud and clear about the s3 styling; there is a whole new makeup and wardrobe team for s4 (which is good in sense that it'll be different from past seasons but also that they're getting a team that knows how to do make up on Yerin. I've had my make up done in western styles and it just does not suit my face and features.)
ANYWAYS my point are the rings :)
We see two silver rings that represent Yerin playing essentially two different characters (The Lady in Silver & Sophie Baek), but long story short it's really just one person
Yerin looks through clothes and stops at a silver dress and gloves; representing the one she will wear to the ball (But obviously not this one in the video)
She also holds the gloves themselves as they are the object that Benedict uses the find her and is the catalyst to aofag pt 2 in the book.
The glove part is also one of my most favorite moment of the ball bc 👀
Just like Benedict, we don't fully see her face at first
A reference to the mystery of Sophie/LIS and our long awaited anticipation of seeing her on screen
As we finally get to see Yerin's face, we see she's in pink
Now as an individual who's degree made her take color theory I love color symbolism
Pink is a delicate color with white but it also has the boldness and power of red
It's a color that's feminine, romantic, and tender
Pink also is associated with healing
I love that they chose to introduce us to Sophie/Yerin in pink because the color represents everything Sophie is and what's important about her character
Lastly I noticed this sparkly beading on her sweater that's hidden under Yerin's hair...
This could be another nod hinting that Sophie is the Lady in Silver
One thing I observed is a good amount of people did not know who Sophie was.
This announcement was made because filming will be starting this month and the paps will for sure be there, but also it's for fans who've been waiting years for sophie (book fans mostly)
The caption to this video only list Yerin as Sophie
Fans who go in with no prior knowledge do not know Sophie = Lady in Silver and I think the show is making a point on keeping it a mystery even though we'll probably know she is the LIS in ep 1
Welcome Yerin Ha and Sophie Baek 🤍
You are already so loved and thank you for representing us Asian girlies xx

It’s interesting how Benedict never really tries takes initiative of his relationships with his ladies. He just goes with the flow, he just simply enjoys and thrives in the lead of his strong independent ladies. Salute to Feminist icon Benedict Bridgerton.
Oh and when he does take initiative of the relationship with the Maid Sophie Beckett?
Absolutely chaotic. Far from smooth.
He’s actually terrible at it
