Part 2: Earthenspoon and Nospoon

Earthenspoon and Nospoon is refer to Injoo and Hwayoung's conversation (in Korean dialogue; in Eng sub it was changed) at 1st ep

Injoo call her social status as "Earthenspoon"

Hwayoung call herself as "No Spoon"

This Earthenspoon and Nospoon conversation even become the title of one of Little Women OST

At South Korea, there's "spoon" term to differentiate each socioeconomic classes (highest class is diamond spoon; lowest class is dirt/earthen spoon)

Those social status were shown in series through color pallete of clothes

Earthenspoon = Earth Colors: Injoo's main color pallete

Of course it will be hard if i am collecting all Injoo's clothes from 12 episodes, so i will give some sample only from some episodes lol

As you can see, most color of Injoo's clothes (mostly at her home country South Korea) are Earth colors:

Various shades of Brown (and little bit greenish)

Those earth colors symbolising Injoo's social status: the earthen/dirt spoon

In some special occassion, mostly if relate to Hwayoung, Injoo wears Green color more dominant:

The Green color probably refer to unbloomed color of Princess of Thieves: which is dominated with green color

Green also color of Robinhood, the most known legendary thief

Meanwhile at Singapore (on climax scene) and when Injoo "playing" rich, Injoo's color pallete changed from earth color into pink; which is part of color of the bloomed Princess of Thieves

It's like symbolising how the earthenspoon and unbloomed Injoo is bloomed into pink part of Princess of Thieves

Nospoon = Colorless: Hwayoung's main color pallete

Hwayoung's color pallete (mostly when she's at South Korea) is colorless/no color, such as: Black, White, Grey

It's symbolized how Hwayoung is not belong to everything; she is excluded from any social class (no spoon)

The color also symbolized how Hwayoung is neither good or bad (no color/colorless)

At Singapore, Hwayoung's dress color is Purple, the part of color of Princess of Thieves. On 1st episode, there's a little glimpse of purple color on Hwayoung's clothes, like indicated she's secret part of Princess of Thieves

One of Hwayoung's name meaning is Shadow of Flower. The colorless pallete probably also refer to how Hwayoung is the shadow part of the flowers:

Princess of Thieves: to Injoo

Blue Ghost Orchid: to Sangah

(See more explaination in Part 1: Princess of Thieves)

The Color Swapped Between Earthenspoon and Nospoon

Interestingly, there's color pallete swap between Earthenspoon's Injoo and Nospoon's Hwayoung, during great aunt's house scene

Hwayoung's color pallete become earth color (earthenspoon), while Injoo is black (nospoon)

If try to look back at some scenes on previous episodes, actually it's not first time their color pallete were swapped, and it happen on certain scenes:

Injoo daily life color is earth, but when she want to act though, Injoo become colorless

Hwayoung daily life color mostly colorless, but when she opened herself, Hwayoung become earth color

The Earthenspoon and Nospoon on Shoes Exchange

The color swapped meaning also visible on the shoes that Hwayoung and Injoo exchanged on Singapore climax scene on ep 8

On this series, shoes have meanings:

(See more explaination on Shoes Exchange lore)

But the sneakers, that symbolized comfortable and simple life (injoo's earthenspoon), have no spoon color: black, instead of earthenspoon color

Meanwhile the heels, that symbolized rich but there's risk (hwayoung's nospoon), have earthenspoon color: earth, instead of no spoon color

It's like symbolising on how Injoo's earthenspoon and Hwayoung's nospoon, how their fate got swapped, through their ritual of shoes exchange
