We set up key colors for each of the characters […] For example, Jaeyoung has yellow, red, and orange; those sort of warmer colors and lighting that are incorporated in the framing of his scenes and spaces. And on the other hand, for Sangwoo, he has cold and stiff colors like white, blue, and black in his framing and spaces. So like in Sangwoo’s room, blue light is constantly coming in through his window, and we included a white desk lamp for lighting design. As for Jaeyoung, in his studio he has a pink neon light and orange stand lamps.
When the two of them have some sort of emotional exchange and fall for each other, the other person’s colors and lights will permeate into their individual framings. For example, in episode 4, the moment that Jaeyoung sees Sangwoo with wet hair, there’s a slight blue light coming in from behind him. And on the other side, there’s an orange streetlamp light coming in through the window behind Sangwoo. And in the scene where they call each other in episode 6, Jaeyoung’s taking the call in a bar; there’s blue light that casts on his face. That bar space originally had red lighting, but our lighting director changed it all to blue. On the other hand, for Sangwoo, he’s next to his window with the streetlight, and orange light casts on his face.
Emotionally, the two of them are dyeing one another [with their own colors].

Semantic Error director Kim Soojung, on using color/lighting in scenes in order to communicate character emotion (x)

Ooh I love this sort of info from a director. It’s one of those things that you often only subconsciously register but will look out for on the rewatch.

This is the kinda thing @absolutebl clocks and I need to be hit over the head with.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. 

I sort of got they were doing something with the warm versus cool tones but I’m used to assuming it’s wardrobe doing it, I didn’t realize they were being clever with the lighting too. 

Honestly this is SUCH a MV trick. I LOVE IT.

First off, this scene is one of my favorites. This is them hanging out together. Jaeyoung in Sangwoo’s apartment, like y’all remember the “you only have 10 minutes” days? 😂 I love the drama, but the only thing I’d like more of was them dating, bc I love fluff!

Not look at them just chatting with each other. My favorite is Jaeyoung just looking at Sangwoo, full attention. 🥺

Jaeyoung just can’t resist touching his lover.

Another kiss folks, who’s still counting?

I don’t blame you Sangwoo, if I had a lover that attractive and handsome, I’d stare all day too.

And now look at Jaechan literally drawing Seoham’s face with just his eyes as Sangwoo. Well done on his end acting this out.
