Does anyone have ideas about what the color blue represents throughout the drama? It was definitely intentional…
My best guess: blue represents the sky... seeing as both Yae and Namiki wanted to fly...
I think in adult Yae’s case the blue of all her costumes hints at the flight attendant’s uniform she longed to wear. And in Tsuzuru’s case it shows he takes after his mother more than his father because he’s also a dreamer and a romantic.
And blue is a cold color… which is fitting since a lot of the drama is situated in Hokkaido… there’s a lot of ice and snow. And of course there’s that last location in Iceland… Oposite to that red is a warm color… perfect for a warm and loving big family… something that Yae didn’t have.
Also... blue is a fairly common color in Japanese textiles because of the indigo plant. You see it a lot in traditional clothing. It's a fresh, simple, elegant color.
It's hella difficult to get these time skips well without stating when is when all the time... They aced it! Great cast, main and supporting. And I loved Tsuzuru's story... Yae is a great mum.
The SML seems like the quintessential "nice guy" who gets nasty when his being nice doesn't get him what he wants. Run like hell when you encounter one in real life!!
As an "Orandajin" it's nice to see our Vincent van Gogh referenced in a dorama. I guess the Japanese are as fond of him as he was of Japanese art. Hope it's a good drama; it should be, with Sumire and Kamio Fuju involved. On my ptw-list it goes (until it's fully subbed...).
Here's an interview with Shin Min Young, a lawyer for the Seoul-based law firm, Hoam, who wrote "In Defense of the People" based on his experiences as a public defender. It's the book Extraordinary Attorney Woo is based on.
The social nature of the court cases is one of the things that made this drama so special for me. Things that some people described as "boring" are a big deal for ordinary people if they were to happen to them. I think it's wonderful this lawyer wrote his experiences down for us to think about. Stories like these can have a real impact in society when enough people get in contact with them.
