Because when a color demon is summoned by @negrowhat and @mggsttn's post, I show up!

Top 5 - Color-Coded Storytelling in BLs

Y'all already know what number one is, but let's pretend you don't. Instead follow me on this journey into BLs that gave the best color-coded storytelling. In order to be considered for this list:

The story had to integrate the colors into multiple aspects of the series: wardrobe, lighting, accessories, setting, etc.

The colors had to be meaningful to the plot.

The narrative did not explicitly state what the colors meant.

The color coding had to be consistent and featured in each episode.

The series has to be finished.

So let's begin!

Honorable Mention: Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

This isn't a BL (yet it's queer, so anyone who says it isn't can argue with the ghosts), but that damn red thread of fate had me and Yiyong messed up all season! The appearance of the color red in the series was less of an alarm, and more of a signal that every single moment was connected. All those single red threads that Yiyong and his unlikely crime-solving buddies weaved each episode came together at the last minute not only to solve the crime, but to stitch Yiyong together and bring him back from the edge of death because the true message of the show about fate and dying was how connection is what makes life worth living.

#5 - Moonlight Chicken

Director Aof and Cinematographer Rath never miss, but this particular story being told in this series through the symbolism and lighting depicting moon vs. sun, coldness vs. warmth, dislike vs. love, and so much more was phenomenal. Watch the scene of Li Meng holding a crying Heart in Heart's cold, blue, dark room then witness the two kissing in Li Meng's warm, orange-ish, bright living room or watch the hatred and blue melting off of Alan as he begins to find love again and you'll understand that the color coding in this show wasn't just a simple red versus blue dynamic. This was the work of PROFESSIONALS. This color coding was like tiramisu made by the best Italian chef; it had layers and was effing delicious!

#4 - My Beautiful Man

This show did several visual devices oh-so-well. We got Hira always being lower than Kiyoi. We got the duck. We got Hira capturing Kiyoi with his camera instead of being present with him. We got traditional colors but with that Japanese twist. And all of the elements worked together to give us an elite visual story. Hira was blue. Kiyoi was white. Hira was the loyal and reserved servant. Kiyoi was a god. Yet this was the point of contention between the two. Kiyoi wasn't a heavenly being. He was a human boy devoid of love. He wanted Hira to love him, not worship him. He wanted Hira to stand with him, not lower himself. He wanted Hira to live with him, not through him. So we saw Kiyoi struggle with his color when he didn't feel stable in their relationship, but once Hira made it clear that he loved Kiyoi, Kiyoi never shined brighter.

#3 - My Love Mix-Up

Nobody does colors like Japan. It color codes its ties. It leans into the religious aspect of the light versus dark color scheme. It invents new ways to color-code and is always evolving . . . like Aoki's orange color did in this series. Our disaster bisexual started the series with a muted color and as he discovered he liked a boy and not the girl he originally was crushing on, his color started to emerge. At first it was a soft yellow, but by the end, it was a vibrant orange. Ida was a solid blue, so watching Aoki's feeling deepen for him was electric each time the blue lighting lingered on his face until it overwhelmed him. Oh, and that color exchange is the best that has ever been done!

#2 - Semantic Error

This show tricked us. Jae Young played us the way he played Sang Woo, yet Jae Young's true colors were revealed as the boys spent more time with each other because isn't that the entire point of color coding? Seeing people's true colors without having to be told? Jae Young started off as red solely because quiet and introverted Blue Boy Sang Woo HATED red. That was it! That was the entire reason Jae Young became red. He just wanted to piss off Sang Woo. But as the boys worked together and Jae Young's personality shown through, Sang Woo realized Jae Young wasn't the devil he made him out to be and was actually a pretty chill Green Guy who he wanted to hug longer than two weeks.

#1 - Big Dragon

The only reason 82% of the crowd decided to watch this show was because of the visual above. Let that sink in. This one visual piqued y'alls interest enough to watch a show about a guy drugging someone to have sex with him and blackmail him with the tape of it so he could *looks at notes* get the girl? A girl?! And the guy who was drugged, almost sexually assaulted, and blackmailed was *checks notes again* HE WAS IN TO IT?!

Y'all hated this show. I loved it. Y'all think it was ridiculous. I love it. Y'all are rolling your eyes right now. I will always love it because it understood the assignment! I can't keep repeating the same points over and over, but here I go again:

Everything was color coded!

And it all supported the story. It never distracted from the story. It never became its own story. It was laced into the story. It did exactly what visual rhetoric is supposed to - show don't tell.

And it showed me when Yai opened his heart to Mangkorn.

And how Mangkorn's love transformed Yai.

It showed me that Yai's sister was his only source of light living in that isolated house.

It showed me the warmth Yai felt from Mangkorn's mom.

And it showed me that no matter how much he protested, Yai was deep in love.

And to think it all started here.

And ended up here.

That's the power of color coding and remarkable visuals.

It makes you see the beauty is in the details.

My Love Mix-Up! Vol. 9

It's ended today in NA, and I'm sad. But also fuming because of how Minekure sensei toyed with my heart. I nearly put this volume down and walked away from the story. But I'm glad I suffered through the hell because the other side is beautiful. Ending a romance series can always be a struggle because the story isn't ending, you're just choosing to bow out from it. But I think this finale does a great job of addressing that. It puts a lot of focus into the transitional period between high school and college, and uses that to separate the characters to signal the "end" of the story. I think it works really well because they tease you with some of the life afterwards as well. It's not just "oh we're done goodbye" but it shows that the story has continued despite us not experiencing it.

All in all, I have a lot of love for this series. It's funny, down to earth, romantic, and important in regards to the exploration of sexuality and love. This whole thing started from a dropped eraser with a name on it, and it's really something to remember that and see where we've ended up now. Like a drop of water becoming a wave, almost. It's sad to see it go, but much like the time capsule the cast buried, I'm sure many (myself included) will return to revisit this series with fond memories of it.

I’ve started watching LBC and went to go check out some scenes of why r u just for comparison since I know Saint plays a way different character on there and like, wow, is it really the same actor?

Plus recently I also found out that Shin in Minato’s laundromat is apparently the student council guy in my love mix up….

I’m personally pretty bad with faces and names but tl;dr: were there any actors that you had a LOT of trouble recognizing in a different role/show? I feel like this prob would happen more often in j BLs than other countries for various reasons

Isn't he amazing? I can't even with Saint. I'm so sad we lost him (from BL leading roles).

I think I knew that but didn’t really register about Nishigaki Sho (Shin). Maybe I’ll go rewatch MLMU to see if I can spot him. If it’s a side character or a walk on, I’m not too shocked I missed it.

I am actually pretty good with faces, in the “oh I have seen that actor before” kinda way. It’s names I struggle with. (When IMDB came along, it was a godsend.)

Were there any actors that you had a LOT of trouble recognizing in a different role/show?

Oh yeah, this fucker:

That’s Suzuki Jin.

And when watching My Love Mix-Up I did not register AT ALL that he was the same actor as Uenoyama Ritsuka (the lead!) in Given. It’s really rare for that to happen to me.

MDL told me who he was because I looked him up during MLMU because I liked him so much as Aida Hayato and I was like...

No? NO!

NOOO!

Seriously, how can that be the same person?

He is bonkers good. Like Saint he changes his physicality, but he ALSO changes the nuances of his facial expressions AND resting face (that’s SO HARD to do). It takes a hell of a lot to fool me like that, especially in two shows that released relatively close together in two major roles.

If it’s just a walk on or a bit part, I forgive myself. But Suzuki Jin was the lead and then the main side bestie! Yet to this day, I’m still occasionally like... that’s THE SAME actor? He even looks taller in Given. It’s crazy making. Mad props to the boy.
