my biggest concern right now is the fact that guwon fell "in love" with jinwoo bc he was the only person with the courage to call him out on his behavior. but now with him pretending to go along with guwon's whims, it's unlikely he'll do that anymore. guwon wants someone who can teach him right from wrong, but jinwoo's now willing to turn a blind eye in order to appease him. horny and scared. can't wait to see how their relationship develops in season two
and kudos to gusao for completing season one without a hiatus. but as expected of our goat
the way guwon has more confirmed kills than the fucking zombies
why are we so aggressive to each other right now :( people thought guwon was a green flag bc our first impression of him came from the lz sg where he was kissing a gun with cute stickers on it, had blushies on his cheeks, and was nuzzling jinwoo's stomach. imo it's reasonable why people are disappointed it's looking like he's not and why they're still hoping the first impression was right. everyone's green until they're not and all that. let's stop being condescending with each other
maybe the hounds of sisyphus were the friends we made along the way
everyone screaming and crying about guwon being red/black flag but he's still a green flag to me until he hurts or assaults jinwoo ╮(￣▽￣)╭ here's hoping i didn't just jinx it lol
wow this was such an awesome chapter!! i specifically loved when jinwoo's dad came back to life with milk and doc saw his wife and child again and guwon pulled out his cock and said "here's the real reason why it's called hounds of sisyphus" and jinwoo rode his face into the sunset
I'm patting ur back as we speak
I love this… this truly was our hounds of sisyphus
yall imma bout to sound like the biggest guwon glazer (i am) but can you just imagine this chapter from his point of view
- jinwoo teaches guwon what a gift is, guwon wants to give him a gift back
- guwon knows what happened the day they met. jinwoo doesn't, but expresses a desire to remember. guwon's gift is thus helping him remember what happened that day. when jinwoo asks to go back home, guwon lets him (because he's um helping!)
- guwon follows jinwoo back to his house, says, "surprise!!" and then is promptly yelled at LMFAOOO
- in the next breath, the doctor, who only heard jinwoo's accusation that guwon killed his father, points a gun at him and pulls the trigger before guwon has a chance to deescalate the situation.
- guwon kills the doctor in self defense
at the end of the day, i believe guwon when he says he didn't kill jinwoo's dad. but i think his definition of "death" is different than ours. there's more to the story and i have the patience to stick around to find out what it is without pointing fingers or crashing out
you worded this so perfectly. ICB PEOPLE ARE JUMPING INTO CONCLUSION THAT GUWON KILLED JINWOO’S FATHER WHEN HE SAID HE DIDN’T AND WE ALL KNOW HOW STRAIGHTFORWARD GUWON IS there’s more to this than meets the eye i’m telling yall. jinwoo is NOT a reliable narrator.
Out of pure concern I recommend going to therapy CUZ AINT NO WAY YOUR DEFENDING HIM AFTER EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAW
the teacher is literally not a reliable narrator at all god forbid people have different interpretations/perspective on the new chap
suddenly not trusting jinwoo is defending guwon everything i listed out is factually what happened
no fr cause WHY is everyone crashing out... i'm excited that the plot if finally unraveling. hoping we get guwon's perspective in a 2 ch special like we did with dangerous convenience store!!!
Ngl Everything you said is very interesting and truthfully I didn’t trust guwon from the very beginning even when people were simping all over him I felt like there’s something off about him but I wanna focus on two point you mentioned
1) I do agree with what you said about guwon protecting jinwoo it does feel like there’s something we don’t know about just yet maybe his father got bitten by zombies or something idk
2) I agree the doctor isn’t the most reliable character but seeing how fucked up guwon is mentally I would say the doctor is our best bet in gaining info too bad he’s dead now
Ngl these different perspectives are what keeping the story more interesting
on god. it’s been so long since i’ve been this invested in a yaoi manhwa before. it really gets your mental cogs turning the various theories are so interesting to delve into.
the thing is, i don't think guwon is "fucked up mentally" bc i don't think he's human at all, thus doesn't have any moral standards to adhere to like normal humans in a normal society. that's why he fell "in love" with jinwoo in the first place, because he was the first person to ever call him out on what's right or wrong (giving him those moral standards)
SAME
Woah that’s a whole new theory
Now I can’t wait for season 2
guwon needs to pound jinwoo so far into the mattress he gets his memory back fr idk how much more i can take
a dicking so hard and so deep it recalibrates his consciousness like using a sewing needle to press a reset button, ur so real
order of events:
1. a robber breaks into jinwoo's house and hits him in the head. jinwoo's dad fights the robbers off and leaves to get water.
2. jinwoo's dad gets into an altercation with the hounds (assumption--i think jinwoo's dad stole the water bottle from them and they retaliated) and chases him back to his house, where guwon allegedly kills him. jinwoo mixes up the memories of his dad reappearing with the robbers that had previously attacked him due to his head injury and trauma, leading us into the prologue.
3. jinwoo later states that he wanted to confront his missing memories, regardless of how painful they are, because they're still HIS memories. guwon's "gift" to him was helping jinwoo gradually remember what happened that day, which is why he never directly told him (and probably why he allowed jinwoo to return home and followed him).
the MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL is that guwon does NOT explicitly state that he killed jinwoo's dad. both jinwoo and the doc come to their own conclusions, and you could even argue that guwon acted in self defense. the biggest question is still: should we trust jinwoo's memories?
another detail: guwon also states that jinwoo is the only "person" (emphasis) in the whole world that means anything to him, which implies that the hounds are (theoretically) maggots just like him. since both guwon and jinwoo are riding in the back of the truck, we'll probably meet the hound who's driving them back in the final chapter of the season.
and i've said this before: if guwon really did kill jinwoo's dad, his subconscious killing intent probably stems from the fact that his body recognized guwon as his dad's murderer before his brain could.
Many thanks for the timeline my dude
Off topic but why did ML killed doctor family
makes so much sense
i have actually no fucking clue i genuinely believed doc was lying to get jinwoo to fear guwon but!!! ig we won't find out in this season at least
Alright, I love you theories!! This was one of the more sensible theories I read!!
But why Guwon says « I really didn’t want to kill him » then ?
Oh, one more time! Do you think ML is dying could it seem that way
omg thanks sm
the only reason guwon saved him was because he mistakenly believed he was a doctor, and he needed him to help people in his town. but the doc attacked him first, so guwon fought back :(
he might already be dead... looks like a lot of people believe he's a maggot!
Oh right thanks ! I thought Guwon was speaking about Jinwoo’s dad when he said that. Now I get it
despite everything i can't help but want them to have a happy ending that's appropriate to the setting and plot, even if their happiness doesn't look like ours (my personal theory is that jinwoo ends up becoming another one of guwon's hounds and they match each other's freak). but the intentional unrequited love tag makes me think guwon's "love" will never be reciprocated </3 the interesting thing about guwon is that he's violent yet not malicious. for me personally, that's enough of a silver lining to hope for the best... whatever that "best" looks like.
I think the mystery behind Guwon will pull the MC back to him. If this kind of trope they have now continues the plot will be lost and this would end in tragedy. That's what I think
and maybe tragedy is the end goal :( i sure hope not. the mystery is definitely pulling ME in that's for sure HAHAHA
I'm so scared the author might pull the messed-up ending and have Jinwoo become so brainwashed that he is no longer affected by what Guwon does anymore. I just have a feeling Gyeongha is going to die. It's going to be Jinwoo's fault, and this makes me very upset.
Really hoping it goes differently and Jinwoo finds a way to change Guwon instead.
i am too we're already heading straight toward dubcon territory with how jinwoo is willing to do anything to appease guwon, even if that includes sex... i hope we spend more time on the side characters in the second season. i didn't feel much for doc's death since i wasn't that attached to him. if gyeongha does die, i need it to be absolutely heart wrenching
