I loved your insight on this
I had no clue there was a color correlation with poiltical wings in SK. I looked it up after you mentioned this, and you're right I understand what you're talking about now. Amazing. This info makes everything that's happened up till this point appear all the more outrageous especially from Incheol's pov. And since Korea is still an extremely conservative nation that doesn't recognize same sex marriage, this work also serves as commentary on the inner workings/inclinations of Korea's political system. And I absolutely love the author for this. They are doing whatever they want, telling the story they want to tell the world - all under the label of "BL" how fucking eloquent.
i'm not well versed in sk politics but i've heard that, in political context, red is a color primarily associated with the far right. seeing rep lee in red made me wonder if they are part of the conservative sector and if that is the case, for incheol, to be in a sexual relationship with a man, must be the most repulsive thing to go through.
if i'm not wrong, we're possibly witnessing one of the best enemies to lovers story in the history of bl!!! i really really hope that the author will continue with this slow and steady route instead of rushing things. i mean it's literally two strangers from two extremes after all I'M SO EXCITED!!!!
