It's dragged on for so long I don't care anymore. Confess, use the gun, whatever, I need the story to move out of its stagnancy. It's chapter 70 and and we have not moved from this dynamic of kinda close to distant strangers vibes to maybe? to strangers again to possible? to strangers. The only real story development on page has happened with Sejin disentangling himself from his toxic family. I'm so disengaged from the Deep Dark Secret, that I would be happy if Ido dropped out of the story completely and Seijin's life and how he learned to thrive became the entire plot.
Happy to finally have a more concrete clue that Guwon has been putting on an act, at least to a certain degree, thus far. I never forgot the cold pragmatism that ruled his decision to rescue Jinwoo in the first place. Plus the other towns people are desperately afraid of him. (Although that may spring from how they feel about what he is rather than how he treats them? Fingers crossed.) I sorta hope his reasons for manipulating Jinwoo like this aren't too too bad? I think it must all be to some deeper purpose although I can't imagine what. Too much is still hidden.
