So again on this topic: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/18354359/
As one commenter pointed out, Guwon is watching a boulder making sure it doesn’t fall. Sisyphus divine punishment (for tricking Death, but really, for snitching on Zeus) was to push a rock up a mountain, but the rock would always fall back down when approaching the summit. I think our Guwon definitely triumphed, found a way, again, to counter the Gods and put that rock on the summit. Thus, he found SALVATION, in other words: deliverance from the power and effect of sin.
I keep wondering why Guwon chose these people specifically. Like sure, in this situation, it’s necessary to have a doctor (I saw a comment saying he was actually a vet), a teacher, I’m guessing a hunter, a cook, handyman, etc. But why them ? I think that they might all be sinners. Maybe they all more or less tricked Death or at least faced it. I read a comment saying ML might be a murderer, and yeah, he definitely has weird sleeping habits ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ugh I’m already obsessed with this story, I want to read it all already !!
What do you guys think ?
I dont know much abt the myth although I think it's rlly interesting
Personally I think the Guwon is an orphan who grew up in the system and continue into a life of crime or smth, more specifically maybe being a low level member of a mafia maybe since those types of organizations wouldn't mind his ignorance not would they teach him anything either
With the town I think they're iffy, bc Guwon is dumb and doesn't know much I have the theory SOME of the people there are playing pretend so Guwon is happy (like the vet who says he's a doctor) and basically they're deceiving him to a certain level (so I agree they may also be sinners)
Now for what I know abt the myth I think is the opposite of the orginal myth kinda(? Like instead of Sisyphus who tried to reach his goal, Guwon has reached it (create this sorta family that is the village) but now his duty is to protect it, which is represented by his obsession with seeing that the rock stays in place (this family isn't destroyed). I think this whole concept will play a big part in what is actually going on with this village
That’s so interesting! The town people could definitely trick him that way, given that he doesn’t know much (or at least pretends not to). And if he grew up an orphan and/or mafia, then yes, he may not have had the best education, cause they would’ve take advantage of his strength and turned into a hound for the organisation
So I read about the myth of Sisyphus wondering if I could find any clues, and if he had a dog (he doesn’t ☹).
Sisyphus tricked Thanatos and handcuffed them for a while. People stopped dying. Zeus got mad and send Ares to get him and free Death. So Sisy was dragged to the Underworld, but before that, he asked his wife to NOT properly burry him. Thanks to that, he convinced Hades to send him back on Earth, but Thanatos dragged him again. Then he was sentenced to roll a giant rock up a mountain, and the rock would always fall back down once he almost reached the summit.
I don’t know if this is where the story is going, I don’t know if I’d like for it to go there, BUT I think the whole maggot thing is definitely from Ahjussi tricking Death. Sisy is described as a trickster, very manipulative and ML definitely gives off those vibes. I also think he’s playing dumb (or just doesn’t know about human stuff).
I can’t wait for the next chapters ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
this is so true bc no wonder he took ml to see the boulder and was like I gotta make sure it doesn’t fall. the ‘zombies’ is most likely not from some chemical outbreak but probably related to ml and the price of going against death. I don’t know why he tricked / went against Thanatos tho
nvm I read it and ohhhh tea this gonna be good
OMGGG I forget about the LITERAL BOULDER SVGSVWYDVSISVSSH Do the others know ?
So Zeus (like ofc it’s all because of him) kidnapped a girl (of course) and Sisy told her father. So that bitch Zeus send Thanatos after Sisy, and Sisy was like ??? No ? Why don’t you try putting on these handcuffs that I made
Did you detectives uncover the entire plot 6 chapters in?! It makes total sense!
If this theory isn't right, you both shall write a story together because it'll be bomb
Lmao thank you !! That’s what watching Severance (the TV show) does to one’s brain.

That guy just wants to win. He’s in a competition all by himself and wants to win whatever he thinks this shit is. Atp I just wish Kim Dan meets somebody knew, that truly loves him. He’s been through so so much, it’s really sad. I know it’s a work of fiction and yaoi and bla-bla-bla but shit like this really happen to people, sometimes victims leave abusive relationships (his senior doctor) and fall into another (JK) and it’s so, so hard for them to escape. I just can’t anymore. Isn’t this what Killing Stalking was about ?
Sooooo do you guys JK horse face was abused too ? ABSOLUTELY NOT AN EXCUSE FOR HIS BEHAVIOR.
This shit should have been called « The story of Kim Dan’s abuse » : verbal, mental, sexual, substance…
I’m actually, FINALLY dropping this.
