I like these theories a lot, to add on to some of them, i think since all the people in the village are scared of him maybe it's because he is someone powful from the underworld and they came with him and he lost his memories OR since he's from the underworld he's just neaive of the real world and they all know he's scary and some underworld leader, or even he's shown his true self to these people for whatever reason and they know. I find it werid how scared they are of him so somethings Def up. Maybe something went wrong and that's why all the dead came back to life and they're there to figure out.
These theories are really good but I'm just wondering why jinwoo is having these dreams of guwon than waking up and not remembering what was real and what was a dream. Do you know if this could be a coincidence or a part of his powers as a creature from hell (ofc assuming that your theories are correct)
I never actually stopped to think about why the townspeople are so intimidated by him because I just assumed it was because he looks big and bad. Like, he just seems like a strong, intimidating guy, and he seems to have a dominant personality. But it’s true that maybe they know more than they let on. Right now though I don’t have any specific ideas because the manhwa is so new…
That’s actually happened to me a few times where I wake up not knowing if something was a dream or real for a while, so I’m not usually surprised when that happens in manhwas. But I’d wager it’s possible that Guwon does have some sort of power if he’s from the underworld, or if he’s Sisyphus. I don’t really know anything for sure though so I can’t wait to find out.
Maybe the towns ppl are scared of guwon cause he got rid of someone who wasn’t useful anymore. Cause they are able to stay in the town cause guwon finds use in them/ same way he found use in jinwoo
Just speculating here (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Theory 1: Guwon is actually Sisyphus from the underworld. The disasters happening, the dead coming back to life. If you don’t know the story of Sisyphus, basically he was cursed to torture in the underworld, forced to push a giant boulder uphill for eternity. Read it, it’s pretty neat.
Theory 2: Guwon is a hound (?) from the underworld. Like a hellhound. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t understand a lot of human things? Unlikely, but I’m just brainstorming.
Theory 3: Something happened in the underworld to cause a rift in the human world, hence the disasters and undead walking. Guwon then traveled to that human world, but when he did that, he lost his memories and couldn’t remember about his life. Or something else caused him to lose his memories. OR, he is lying about losing his memories and doesn’t want to reveal his true identity for multiple reasons: afraid of losing Jinwoo’s trust? Etc.
Other: When it comes to human relationships, Guwon seems very… innocent. Pure, in a way. His appearance isn’t, but his mannerisms and personality seem quite naive and unassuming. It’s almost as if he doesn’t quite know how to take in information, or how to express his feelings. Or even knowing what some feelings are. I.E. taking off his rings for Jinwoo, showing Jinwoo the moon. I could be wrong, but I love his character so much right now.
I have a feeling, though, that Guwon is actually more evil than we think. Or at least has done some bad things, judging by how he was looking for a reason to save Jinwoo in the beginning, and he only saves people that he deems worthy since they can all offer something useful. So far, whatever/whoever is really is, I believe he’s connected to the undead and the disasters, and I believe he came to the human world from the underworld.
Other Pt. 2: I love this manhwa. Also, I wouldn’t mind if either of them topped, but I think it’s Guwon.
