Miss V ✨️ · 0 · 1d ago This is Jaeyoung. He works low-paying jobs like food delivery, convenience store cashier... You know the deal. But once upon a time, he was a member of an idol group. In fact, this boy group really blew up at debut. They won rookie of the year! But 2 years later, they disbanded. What happened?
Miss V ✨️ · 0 · 1d ago Through a series of random events, he meets Seungmin, who's better known as the rapper Happy. Happy actually won a rap-focused program that sounds suspiciously a lot like Show Me the Money. IYKYK!
This is lowkey funny, because Jaeyoung's former stage name was Happy too! (Get it: Happy Twogether!)
Miss V ✨️ · 0 · 1d ago Seungmin wants to collab with Jaeyoung. (He was a vocalist!) Jaeyoung isn't so sure that's a good idea, but Seungmin will not be deterred.
Basically, this series is about a really famous rapper and a fallen idol. If you're familiar with the South Korean idol industry, this is an interesting angle!
Miss V ✨️ · 0 · 1d ago While it's clear something bad went down to cause Jaeyoung's former group to fall apart, Happy Twogether is overall a chill series. It's not super dramatic. If you like that kind of mellow vibe, this series is for you!
(It's not, alas, for me, because I prefer my series to be UNHINGED.)
Miss V ✨️ · 0 · 1d ago Happy Twogether is a Manta exclusive. First 3 chapters are currently free & all episodes of S1 are 10% off. Promo lasts until next Friday, I believe.
