And usually, I’m not into those past life backstories (but this is so peak) , bro. I just got off my 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift, and I’m literally crying rn.
It’s just crazy how the author acts like this is some touching full-circle moment when it’s really not. Hyesung doesn’t owe forgiveness, and forcing that narrative through his kid feels lazy and tone-deaf. Some relationships are meant to stay broken , and that’s okay.
Bro, if I were Luke, I’d be wary of them. Like, Andrew seems so sure of himself when he tells him to check up on his friends , he shouldn’t take what he says so lightly.
It’s heartbreaking that he left, thinking he was protecting her, and didn’t even know he had a child. His story shows how fear and uncertainty can make people make choices that unintentionally hurt the ones they love the most. It also makes you think about how absence shapes lives — his son grew up without him, and the mother suffered alone. The contrast with Ho and the main character, who face their challenges together, really highlights that sometimes staying and confronting pain is the braver, more loving choice.
I was rereading, and the ‘town’ absolutely reminds me of the one in the series Paradise.
Who tf told this old man to come back 30 years later ?!

Pls i got ptsd from baymax tj was about to drop a tadashi on us ?!
Hey, what if we’ve been totally wrong about this from the start?
We see Guwon kill someone in chapter 1, yeah. But he’s never said he killed Teach’s dad. When Teach straight-up accuses him, Guwon just denies it — calm, sure of himself — like he knows exactly what he did and didn’t do.
What if Teach’s whole hate and obsession is just him trying to avoid facing something way worse? Like, what if he’s actually the one who killed his dad?(like some of you think ) Maybe by accident, maybe in a moment he can’t remember clearly, and Guwon just happened to witness it all?
That’d explain why Guwon stays quiet — not because he’s scared, but because it’s not his place to break that kind of truth to Teach. Teach has to deal with it himself, no matter how much it would mess him up.
Imagine if one day Guwon looks Teach in the eye and says,
“I saw you.”
That would blow everything apart.
Drama’s my favorite but honestly? I’m so lost right now I don’t even know who’s playing who, or what’s real. Just gonna sit back and watch this trainwreck unfold.
That screamer pls guwon looked like a creep clown and im reaaally scared of clowns .
Guwon kind of gives off Violet Evergarden vibes — but if Violet had been raised in a cage, taught nothing, and left to figure out morality on her own. He doesn’t know what’s right or wrong — he just imitates what seems ‘good.’ When Teach tells him that killing the father wasn’t okay, Guwon literally breaks down. He repeats the question over and over like a kid who didn’t realize he hurt someone until it was too late. He doesn’t argue, doesn’t get angry — he glitches. He just wants to understand.
And that’s what makes his bond with Teach so intense. Teach is scared — but he doesn’t back down. He tells him the truth, violently even. And Guwon respects that. He says it himself: ‘he’s not like the others.’ Not because Teach is kind — but because he dares to confront him.
But then, there’s the doctor. And the town. The whole peaceful village thing? It’s a lie. A controlled environment designed to keep Guwon in check. They dressed it up as safety, but it’s just a prettier kind of cage. Guwon was never free — he was being handled. Observed. Softly manipulated into staying put, thinking he had a purpose.
And now that he’s changing, they’re scared. The doctor knows Guwon is slipping — and he’s planning to use Teach next. Not because he cares about Guwon’s well-being, but because he needs a leash strong enough to keep him tame.
So no — Guwon isn’t just a tragic character. He’s a ticking time bomb with a heart that’s just barely starting to beat. And the people around him? They’re not ready for what happens when he finally feels everything they’ve tried to suppress.
