Like I don't hate Jo or anything I just feel the author made him a bit bland compared to ...

Jo is an ordinary young man with dreams and passions... And that's exactly what the author is trying to show. Ian has not even done "ordinary" things in this whole life, and Jo is the person that shows him this other side of life.

I get that
It just feels like Ian is deluding himself into believing that he wants a normal life when he actually doesnt
I don't feel much chemistry between Ian and Jo
Or maybe that's the point of the the story
I don't know yet

Honestly I just don’t like Ian and TJ at all. They’re selfish, and Jo’s too good for Ian. Ian and TJ deserve each other they’re both garbage people

What do you mean Ian is deluding himself into wanting a normal life? What makes you think he doesn’t? I’m sorry, but he clearly wants a normal life which TJ cannot give him unless TJ starts to prioritize him over the gang life.

During the kitchen scene where Jo was making food, Ian looked from the back with a peaceful gaze. He is surprised iirc and actually wants something like that, all his life he’s been in the gang life and struggling.

He is not deluding himself, I can promise you that. It would make more sense to say that someone is deluding themselves into thinking being in the gang life is safe and fine.

And yeah you can’t really compare Jo’s time with how long Ian has been with TJ, it’s not fair because people will meet new people, things won’t always be the same.

Sorry that's just the way I feel
It's how I interpreted it
Ian seems to have way more passion when interacting with the gang and TJ
It just seems to me he's more attracted to his old way of life than he wants to be
He can't seem to help himself from going back
He wants a normal life, but he really doesn't

I don't hate Ian or TJ either I just feel that there story and Jos story don't mix well
Tj is definitely selfish as for Ian
I feel like he cant decide what he actually wants
He wants both Jo and Tj
He wants his life with the gang and a normal life with Jo
He wants his cake and to eat it too

I promise he wants a normal life. If he said it, it’s the truth. The only thing he’s deluding is his relationship with TJ by thinking everything is okay between them. It was said in CH 44 near the end.

Ian has more passion because that’s all he’s ever known. It’s called codependency, search it up, it’s a real thing and it’s unhealthy.

But there’s more to it than just how he behaves with TJ or gang life.

I get what your saying and I'm not saying that his relationship with TJ is even remotely healthy
But his relationship with Jo is also majorly unhealthy
It's just how I view the story and maybe that will change by the time the story ends
As it's still ongoing its hard to make a concrete stance on it

Could you tell me how Ian’s relationship is unhealthy with Jo?

And I agree that it’s too early to make a concrete statement.

I don’t think Ian and Jo’s relationship is completely healthy, but it kinda is compared to TJ and Ian’s relationship, mostly because Jo encourages communication between them and between Ian and TJ.

He is also self aware of his actions. I think Jo is slowly unleashing his dark desires, and maybe we’ll see more of it in next season.
