Day and Mhok; Mee and Light
We all knew that episode six was going to be an intense one, but wow, did it go above and beyond. Putting aside everything else (for now), the scene towards the end where they're in the car prompted me to look back at some of the moments where the book is being narrated in the background of the show.
She only stayed inside her room and refused to meet anyone. One day, Mee couldn't stand her loneliness anymore. She decided to step outside her house.
In that split second, Mee didn't realize that stepping outside of her dark room into the sunlight could gradually make her fading body feel tangible again
The fear she had eventually disappeared. She was back to being the same person who used to play happily with her friends
As the last light went out, she went back to being invisible.
A ray of sunlight from the next day recreated Mee's shadow. In that split second, Mee realized that the only way to break the curse was to keep chasing after the sunlight
The parallels between Day and Mee's stories are obvious, they're shown to us as both stories simultaneously progress. And, Mhok fits into this as well. Mhok is the sunlight to Day's Mee. Similarly, Mee's tangiblity is a parallel to Day reclaiming his old life; her curse his isolation.
Throughout the series so far, it's been made immensely clear that Mhok brings light into Day's life.
By just the second episode, we see the difference that Mhok makes to Day's room by simply being present. And, you can often see him drawing the curtains apart like so.
He is, literally and figuratively letting light into Day's life.
Mee cannot be tangible without light. Day cannot reclaim his life without Mhok. This episode, and the ones that preceeded it, have shown that Mhok is helping Day regain bits of himself one by one. But, it tends to come crashing down when Mhok isn't present. The scene in the bathroom at the bar showed this, and episode 6 just drove the point home.
When Mhok is there, Day feels tangible. He feels like he can overcome his struggles, because he has someone beside him who will support him with everything, and never pity him. When Mhok is gone, Day falls apart, loses the control over his life that the two of them have fought so hard to give him. And I think this is something really interesting to be navigated further into the show.

RM's Post ❇️
안녕하세요 사랑하는 여러분,
22년의 끝자락에서 인사드립니다.
내일은 음악을 시작한지 어언 15년,
20대의 마지막 달에 제 1집이 나오게 되었습니다.
많은 복잡한 생각들이 들지만..
전작들을 포함한 그간의 제 모든 작업물들이 이 앨범 한 장을 내기 위해서였다는 생각이 내내 들었어요
우선 너무나 감사합니다.
많은 분들이 그 사소한 진심을 눈치채주셨다는 믿음으로 더 용감하고 진실되게, 제 지금 형태의 심장에 근접한 음악들과 언어들을 블렌딩할 수 있었어요.
정말 행운이죠.
사실 타이틀곡을 정해두고 시작하지는 않았어요.
모든 곡들이 제겐 정말로 동등합니다.
대 스트리밍 시대에 4분 33초짜리 한글 위주의 노래를 타이틀로 들고 나가는 게 두렵고 조금은 심란하지만, 애초에 하입이나 노이즈를 위한 곡들은 아니었습니다! (진심이에요)
그저 제 아이디 아카이브처럼, 시간이 지나도 여전한 향을 가지고 많은 분들의 마음속에 기록되고 피어날 수 있으면 그걸로 충분하다고 생각합니다.
첫 솔로 앨범에 많은 분들이 참여하셔서 조금 의아하셨을 수도 있지만, 이번 앨범은 제가 스스로 큐레이팅한 전시 같은 앨범입니다. 그분들과 저의 융화를 봐주신다면, 납득하실 수 있을 거에요.
참여해주신 모든 분들의 주파수가 차마 대체할 수 없었던, 1순위의 섭외 대상들이었습니다!
저는 무엇보다 그 분들 모두에게 제 삶의 몇 분, 몇 시간, 어쩌면 몇 달 몇 년의 빚을 졌습니다.
저도 늘 누군가에게 그런 사람이 되고 싶었어요.
많은 컨텐츠들을 이미 만들었고 찍었고 발매가 다가오니 심란하고 허허로운 마음으로 집에서 혼술이나 한 잔 하는 중입니다만.. 십 년전이나 지금이나 진심이 진심으로, 사랑이 사랑으로 분명히 닿을 것임을 의심치 않으려 합니다.
모노처럼 아주 첫 단추부터 유기적으로 설계하지는 않았지만, '10 Blues Included'라는 설명처럼, 늘어놓고 보니 모두 제 안에 숨어있던 아름답고 다양한 쪽빛들이 되었습니다.
순서대로 들어주시길 당부드리며.
저는 제가 오래 전부터 생각해온 다양한 저만의 컨텐츠들로 이 앨범을 전개해보려 합니다.
모두가 마음에 들어해주셨으면 좋겠지만, 뭐 아니면 어쩌겠냐는 시원한 마음으로. 열 가지의 파랑 중 당신 마음에 드는 파랑이 하나도 없겠느냐는 당당한 마음으로 내일 찾아뵙겠습니다.
여전한 표정과 여전한 몸짓, 그러나 조금 더 정제되고 늠름해진 주파수로 그간의 제 오랜 편지들을 보냅니다.
소중히 받아주시면 좋겠습니다.
이 음악들이 만용이 아닌
당신들이 제게 주신 용기이길 바라며.
- 남준

Hello my loves,
greetings from the finish line of 2022.
Tomorrow will mark 15 years since I started music and will be the day that my 1st album comes out, in the last month of my twenties.
There is a lot of noise in my head but..
I’ve constantly had the thought that all my previous works were in preparation to release this one album.
Firstly, thank you so much.
I believe that a lot of people were able to notice my little expressions of sincerity and because of that, I was able to be bolder and more honest, blending the melodies and languages close to my heart.
I am very fortunate.
To be honest, I didn’t start working on the album with a title track in mind.
All the songs on it are truly equal to me.
I am a bit worried and anxious about releasing a title track that’s in Korean and is 4 minutes 33 seconds long in this age of streaming, but these songs weren’t made for hype or noise from the get-go! (I mean it)
Just like my ID ‘Rkive’, if I could leave traces that remain even as time passes and could be documented in the hearts of many people and come into bloom there, I would be satisfied.
You might have found it strange that so many people took part in my first solo album, but this album is like an exhibition where I curated everything myself. If you are able to look at my harmonies with them, you will be convinced.
All these featured artists have wavelengths that just could not be replaced, they are at the very top of people to have as guests!
Above anything else, I owe a debt of a few minutes, a few hours, or maybe even a few months or years of my life to all of them.
I have always wanted to be that kind of person to someone else as well.
I’ve already shot a lot of content and as the release approaches, I am having a drink alone at home feeling uneasy and empty..
For the past 10 years and even now, I am trying not to doubt the clear fact that sincerity is delivered through sincerity, and love through love.
While this wasn't planned out organically right from the beginning like Mono, like the explanation ‘10 Blues included’, once I laid everything out, it became these various colours of beautiful indigo that were hiding inside of me.
I hope that you will listen to it chronologically.
I am hoping to unfold this album with various kinds of my own content that I’ve been thinking of for a long time.
I hope that everyone will like it, but if not, well, it can’t be helped, I’ll be cool about it. I will greet you tomorrow with the confidence of knowing that there must be at least one shade of blue that you like amongst the ‘10 Blues Included’.
With the same expressions and the same gestures as always, but through wavelengths that have become a little bit more refined and confident, I send you these old letters that I have written over time.
I hope that you receive it with care.
I hope that this music is not reckless bravado, but courage that you gave me.
- Namjoon
