And it’s a pretty good metaphor for the confused and intense emergence of adolescent sexuality. It’s admittedly sensual and intense – or at least as sensual and intense as two moderately-uncomfortable teens can be in a narrative tradition known for its stylistic and often antiseptic portrayals of romance. He comes across almost as a drug dealer, giving Yeon-woo a taste of his product to get him hooked and then manipulating him into a more intimate relationship. And ‘selling’ is the closest word I can find to what Yoo-han seems to be doing for the first few episodes. But when Yeon-woo meets his probe, Go Yoo-han (Heo Hyun-jun), he finds himself unable to stop himself from craving what Yoo-han is selling. He’s happy to dwell in darkness if seeing the light makes him a statistic. Yeon-woo has no interest in becoming that kind of crazy. The television news is filled with scary reports of Monos going crazy and kidnapping or murdering their Probes due to their intense desire to possess them. And like being a Mono itself, it’s not something you have any control over.Ĭhoi Yeon-woo (Yoo Jun) is a Mono who never wants to find his Probe. ![]() Colour Rush is about experiencing love for the first time. Overwhelming, intense and an experience that opens your eyes to a new world. It may not stand up to much scrutiny as science, but as a metaphor for an in-rush of emotion, it’s amazingly apropos. Monos dwell in a grey and shapeless world until their Probe brings it to life for them. How and why looking at the face of your Probe enables your brain to process colour temporarily is not explained, nor is it the point really. While a mono can experience colour for a time, they eventually go through Decolouration and their world returns once again to nondescript and unremarkable. When the Mono finds their Probe, they experience Colour Rush: an in-rush of sensory information so intense it can even cause them to pass out. Each Mono has a ‘Probe’ a person somewhere out in the world who can make them see colour. It is simply the way they’re born.īut there is a circumstance in which Monos can see colour. They’re aware that the rest of the world is different but unable to do anything about it. Unlike monochromats in the real world, the eyes of Monos function perfectly but their brains cannot process colour. In the first episode of Colour Rush, we learn about Monos who live their lives in a monochromatic world of varying shades of grey. Set in an alt-Korea where there is widespread prevalence of a neurological form of Monochromacy, Colour Rush is an original and compelling BL about finding someone who makes your world brighter.
