I really don't want to say too much because I will spoil things for you. I will say that the show itself is very symbolic and their relationship is one of the most complex ones I've seen on television. Their dynamic transcends regular romantic and platonic relationships, it's very hard to explain but if you're asking if they're explicitly gay I can't tell you that without telling you too much plot unfortunately (T---T) I'll just say this show did have some restrictions (being on NBC) but the writer of the show is gay af and unapologetic, that's all I can tell you, you will see what I mean.
Honestly the show itself is fucking amazing even without focusing on Will and Hannibal's relationship. It's just that they are incredibly central to the plot and most of the show feels like it's a courtship between the two. If you like this comic's plot and can handle a show with lots of horror and gore you will love this one (Will is the MC and he is just as adorbs as Joon is, Hannibal is just as dom and sexy as Yeon-woo too lol)
BTW if you do watch it feel free to message me because I need any excuse to fanboy over this show again! I'd love to hear your opinion!

These niggas said: "You think Yeon-woo is done? You think he not going to invite people to his creepy ass house and kill them one by one on some classic slasher movie type shit?"
I deadass cackled when I got to chapter 59 and saw them get killed, I love how it was paralleled with the first sacrifice they made (Yeon-woo's parents), something is just so interesting about seeing the death of their innocence juxtaposed with the climax of that scene (no pun intended).
I think it's more complicated than Yeon-woo just being a possessive asshole, he is indeed the one with the bigger unhealthy attachment but I think the coach's death was possible because of Joon too. It's because he's falling deep into their pact again I suppose. Joon felt disdain towards the coach too at this point and I bet that his subconscious wanted the coach dead as well. I think apart of him is back to trusting only Yeon-woo now, kinda like their childhood when they only had each other.
Their relationship reminds me sooooo much of Hannigram (from the show Hannibal) Yeon-woo is Hannibal and Joon is Will except they both got fucked up by childhood trauma so it's more of an equal dynamic than the Hannigram ship and I love it. Hannibal pulled the strings from the beginning and tried to pit Will against everyone else that he ever cared about in more subtle ways until shit hit the fan and he escalated to more murderous action.
The only difference is that he wasn't emotionally attached to Will at first and saw him as more of a toy, Yeon-woo is deeply and emotionally attached to an obsessive extent. Not to mention Joon is a little more twisted than Will, him and Yeon-woo mutually fed the twisted bond between them from the very beginning. (Also the coach really reminds me of Jack since he was both a supportive and negative force in Will's life, also that he was Hannibal's biggest obstacle to Will since he was the biggest authority in Will's life as well, is just way too similar!))
I think that's why I like this dynamic so damn much? It's going down a similar route to Hannigram and I'm kinda here for it lol
