Theories!!!

This is sus af but I have a few theories...
First of all, the synopsis and title. The title has ties to the underworld because of Sisyphus and the synopsis says 'he leads Jinwoo to a village where death holds no meaning...' the entire premise is based on the undead and immortality as well. Maybe guwon is actually immortal or an undead himself? The hound part and how guwon refers to jinwoo as a dog in the latest chap would be how he perceives others, that they are all his hounds or his pets. That could explain how he is so touchy feely with other people and treats them as his pets.

The town is also sus. They seem cult like. The girl and the old man said they finished eating as soon as guwon came to talk to jinwoo but they were clearly lying. They seemed used to his behaviour of chatting up the newcomer. Maybe this happens often? Guwon will rescue an outsider, seduce them and then do something to them? Idk. Also its so suspicious that no one locks their doors at ALL. Anyone can access anyone's homes at all times which is so weird.

Guwon himself may seem ignorant of what his actions do but to me it all seems like a farce. Like pretending to cry or taking his rings off so that jinwoo would feel guilty. Or pretending to be dumber then he actually is so that jinwoo would have to talk to him everyday and come to his house everyday.

Or I'm totally wrong and he's just a big himbo cutie!!! This is so well written cause it feels like I'm trying to solve a mystery novel haha :))
