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 ?!
Is that the fuckass human centipede ? (Getting trauma flashbacks )
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.
Man, Guwon just showed us what being a ‘leader’ really means — cold, brutal, but somehow heartbreaking. Watching Teach’s face while that happened? Pure heartbreak. This town’s got no mercy, and Guwon’s ready to remind everyone who’s boss. Can’t wait to see how Teach handles all this.
I was so embarrassed I had to put my phone down and take a nap.
I’ve been thinking of the outcomes of this story and honestly, I don’t see a classic happy ending for Ian. I think the most believable and powerful ending would be an open one — where Ian chooses to walk away. Not out of hate or rejection, but because he finally needs space to exist for himself.
Jo cares deeply, but we can see him slipping into something more obsessive — trying to understand Ian, to ‘fix’ him, to be the person who saves him. And while his feelings might be genuine, that kind of love can become another kind of pressure. Another gaze Ian has to live under.
Ian has never really belonged to himself. He’s always been someone else’s — the gang’s, TJ’s, even now Jo’s. If he chooses solitude, it might be the first time he makes a choice that’s truly his. Not survival. Not submission. Just… freedom.
Yes, it would be sad. But it wouldn’t be hopeless. It would mean Ian finally taking control of his story. And sometimes, love isn’t enough — especially for someone who doesn’t yet know how to love themselves.
It wouldn’t be a tragic ending. It would be a quiet one. Like footsteps in wet sand that slowly fade, but prove someone was there.
