I think some people are forgetting that Guwon & the hounds have killed ppl without much thought, only to ask questions after. For the girl they killed her friend and were certainly going to kill her, for Teach the thief/father was killed immediately and Guwon only looked around to find a reason to save Teach. I am sure the other villagers have had similar stories, and understandably they keep going. If they were to die or give up then that would only make the deaths of their loved ones even more worthless. Does that make them somewhat hypocritical? Yes, but not without reason. Especially considering the hounds are like a loyal cult of followers, who I'm sure have a hand in the creation of the rules and their enforcement. Although they're usually out, I'm sure if they came back to chaos or heard of Guwon being hurt, they would kill the villagers. Their only priority would be Guwon, so the villagers can't be rash in their actions out of fear. But it does seem they've had enough. Not that I think the plan will work. My thought is that they will fail and lead to 2 routes, the rebellion is squashed and Teach becomes some sort of prisoner to Guwon (who'll be conflicted) or the rebellion will fail and escape, with the hounds chasing after them.

But I saw someone's theory thats possible too. Teach will have a moment of clarity that will reveal everything after trying to kill Guwon. Meanwhile Guwon will have to face how his actions have been viewed and how everyone views him - which is a lot of different things. I'm sure the hounds cheer anything he does, meanwhile the villagers walk on eggshells for a reason. And Teach is becoming indispensable to Guwon BUT Teach holds anger, love, frustration, and fear towards Guwon.
