Can't stop thinking about the longing in Moonjo's fingers as he touches Jongwoo's shoulder gently.

Jongwoo fell asleep on his desk

But he woke up on his bed (or at least half him, since the other half was on the floor sksksk)

Isn’t that interesting? So how did he get on the bed? Did he sleep walk there? Or the director simply cut that part? Or… certain someone tucked him into bed? Someone who had been watching and whispering to him from the day he moved in? Someone he had just officially met—only hours before—and called him honey?

"I had this thought when I saw you. That you, honey, might be the same kind of person as me." Strangers From Hell: 2019; ep.2 vs ep.3 // aka the only time we get to take a peek inside Seo Moonjo's mind

Wanted to do a short rambling about this, but I've talked about it way too many times already. The gif set is pretty self-explanatory anyway. I'm sure everyone notices the difference between the 2 moments: a raw and unfiltered piece of Moonjo's mind, that's there in ep 2 but totally gone in ep 3. Siiigh I can never praise the scriptwriter enough. So clever, so brilliant...

Rambling of the day. I just watched the series from different platform than my usual one. The differences in the translations are so small yet so significant to me.

The first time I watched it, I thought Kihyuk made mistake so great (by killing the detective and wanting to kill Jongwoo) to the point that Moonjo was disappointed in him enough to kill him that very night. And I thought that before finding his new muse (aka Yoon Jongwoo), Moonjo had always treated Kihyuk as preciously as he did Jongwoo.

But no, Moonjo knew from the start that Kihyuk was gonna fail him eventually. He knew from way long before, that he would have to get rid of the guy in the end, since he knew the guy was a faulty canvas right from the beginning. So it's simply more because of it's Kihyuk's time to leave, not because he made a great mistake or anything.

And this highlights even more the differences between Kihyuk and Jongwoo to Moonjo. And close forever the possibility that Moonjo would one day get bored of Jongwoo (if Moonjo turned out alive and they became partners in crime, in S2 hopefully yes I still think Moonjo survived, fight me). With Jongwoo, Moonjo was so sure that he was special--a high quality blank canvas, that was ready to be made even more special. He's the one he had been looking for all this time.

In conclusion, Kihyuk was never meant to be a permanent company, he's only there because Moonjo hadn't found his true darling yet. Jongwoo wasn't Kihyuk's replacement, Kihyuk was the temporary substitute of him instead.

Of course this is only my own interpretation. I can be wrong :D

"Thrilling, isn't it? The thought of being caught by your beloved." Strangers From Hell: 2019; ep.1

Thrilling, wasn't it, Moonjo-yah? The thought of almost being caught by your beloved? Having your beloved just a thin wall away from you? Did your heart pace up? Could you feel your blood rushing through your vein? Did you blush? Or were you turned on instead? You enjoyed that, didn't you? You hadn't even met him, yet you whispered so sweetly through his wall.

Just some of the things I would ask Moonjo about, but I'm afraid I would already lose all my teeth even before finish saying the 2nd sentence.
