The writer actually spilled the tea in an online interview between the cast, director and writer. That interview was during of the week when the episode 2 was aired.
Ughhhhh, those toxic fans of this show, please PLEASE! BE RESPECTFUL to the opinion of other people who've watched this. I am also a fan of this (this is my top BL series of 2020, yet) and I also know that this show has flaws. If someone pointed that out or you think that they did not able to get the idea, THERE IS NO NEED TO ATTACK THEM, WTF! Have a mature and healthy manner of initiating a conversation and exchange thoughts and ideas for further development of interest in this show.
