Seems to me that the author is trying to make us turn against Guwon to whip out some plot twist (misunderstanding) later. If that's the case, I'm gonna be disapointed, because it's an move. Better make him an anti-hero kinda man from the start than to make excuses.
I'm going crazy, how evil must one be to make this a cliffhanger? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
