feel free to bash me but this park gwanjong aka idol guy who likes makeup reminds me of oli london the first time i saw him lmao
because maybe it might represents a bit reality? from bunch of idols who debuted it's impossible if there was none who's gay. who knows if one of them dating their bandmates? and also, idols generally doing fanservices and there's one named 'bgp' which stands for 'business gay performance', they know about ships as well, so it's not that hard to relate to ryeojoon ;-;
lmao people in the streaming comment section and neighbor mums are the real representation
also it kinda irks me that some people in the comment section say this is a toxic relationship. if you think all relationships should be strict on rainbows and butterflies trope, then you better don't dig into bdsm or you'd be flipped. bdsm is different from torture and abuse because it has consent from two parties. most likely, the relationship between goro and shoto is a dom-sub/master-pet, and those punishments are part of their play. shoto is clearly a masochist, you could see from some panels that he likes to be punished. we still don't know how their relationship works fully but it seems goro got another girl (and shoto acknowledges this) bcs no one knows what would happen if the media made his rls with shoto a scandal. also, if he didn't care any bit, he wouldn't buy packs of medicines and vitamins and reminds shoto to eat. he even offered shoto to move out from that runny apartment to a better place
the serial killer on the first chapter is goro and i think it's interesting because we got to see serial killer who targets criminal as their victims. feels like some antihero from action movies
ah-in reminds me of those girls who always come back to toxic lover just because that toxic lover show that they're caring just once. actually you have no cure for stupidity because love is blind huh?
that boi in the end of panel is the cop's abused boyfriend. ah-in asked him to recover the data in usb he gave him days prior. he blackmailed il-mo and make it to revenge abusive partner because the proofs of him being a serial killer was kept in that usb
also this is my personal take but i think il-mo doesn't kill random people and just targeting to rude and misbehaved pricks then make them his material to the novel. he captured jeong-yeon, and maybe just maybe, that one victim in previous chapters who was begging to ah-in, actually really rude to his mother
when lewellyn licked shavonne's fingers, the sexual tension went through the roof omg
also i want to drop some theories of mine so beware the chance of spoiler alert

i think the corpse lewellyn kept in his house when they have had first dinner together has correlation with their past in prison. maybe he's a person that sent by wards to drag either lewellyn nor shavonne back to that place. because if what they did in that prison leaked to the mass, people would accuse the tops--if it happened the government was behind it. did lewellyn kill people out of his pure desire? i doubt that
"if i want to kill people as i want, i'd also hug and kiss you when i want to." remember this line? so serial killing lewellyn committed might have reason and that reason is to save shavonne. why the murders always happen around ira street? because those people might has located their living place and tried to capture them
shavonne's doctor friend somewhat is a key for all this mysteries. he befriended shavonne not for nothing but to get informations. maybe shavonne has gone crazy and he's supposed to be a patient in mental hospital? or turns out he was the one who's responsible to the serial murder--but he did it without realizing? and lewellyn didn't want shavonne getting captured, so he always stalking him, checking all mails that he received, because he's worried if those people deceived shavonne with the name of publishers
lewellyn been knew that shavonne's exes were people that getting paid for being his contract lovers. but those exes ended up falling in love so they couldn't stay too long and the last one decided to take revenge because shavonne wounded his pride
there could be a great possibility of that, too. there's a chance the doctor worked for the sick institution and shavonne is one of their test subject--maybe to create more people like lewellyn--but when executed, the result was different with what being expected. so now he has to disguise and play along the role of a friend, because monitoring shavonne could be easier this way
i mean lewellyn used to believe he was a dog, right? that sick institution wants to create submissive human that would only obey them, that's why he was put into 'training'. he might be an orphan or neglected kid from broken household that sell him since baby :( ((alexa play some sad onion songs rn))
actually i have no interest over triangle love but seems like it's unavoidable huh, even the cover explains it lol. but if i had to pick side, i definitely want jinwoo just end up with alex. there was dub-con sexual acts that alex did but this far he's a bit better than dave, ngl i'd be kinda disappointed if the endgame is dave x jinwoo
there's plenty i want to write about the series;
-this story has a neat story-telling as it keeps changing point of view from third person to either lewellyn and also shavonne, but it doesn't confuse or makes you bored because the pace is enjoyable. it's thrilling!
-the characters are really unique. i think it's my first time finding a serial killer with such strange obsession to fucking onions? and what's about his speech? don't you think sometimes lewellyn could get too sarcastic even if he's always right? it feels like he lacks symphaty in his choice of words--we still don't know whether he didn't get proper education or it's just the way he is, but he's clearly not stupid plus he seems to know hanakotoba so well (when he wants to gifting shavonne a thing)
-although they made a conversation about the serial murder that happened in their neighborhood, tbh i kinda have doubt if lewellyn is the real suspect. he's very suspicious, but what's his motive if he was indeed the killer? what's his actual job truthfully? before they both being acquintances, what he did was only peeling onions all day. from where he got the money omg
-and those letters, too. yeah, shavonne's ex has been caught red handed as the stalker, but later when shavonne acknowledges mr newell is in fact lewellyn since begin with, doesn't it mean lewellyn was basically bribing him because shavonne basically penniless. and shavonne, who's afraid of being lonely, has come to accepting lewellyn's feeling because he just doesn't want to end up alone. but what if those flirty notes were sent by lewellyn? (note that i'm still on 27th chapter so maybe these questions would have answer in next chaps)
-anyway that one panel where lewellyn being captured in a prison, is that a dream or reality? why shavon being the prison ward??? or is that supposed to be their past???
i've finished reading til the last chapter that's available on lezhin and ya, my question has clear answer that it's their flashback. shavonne was a prison ward in the institution that kept 'prisoner' like lewellyn. the setting was back to eight years ago when shavonne first kicked out and being a homeless person for the first time!
whoaaaaaa they remake 2gether and it turns out cuter than the series!! i'm glad there's some difference and scenes added here and there because it might be boring if it turns out having same plotline. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the thai adaptation but the ending was so abrupt and feels like it could get a better execution. alsoooo, green's hair here is indeed green hshshs. it really fits his character! XD
