Andrew was raised in a horrible environment with a horrible father, stalked and forced into the spotlight when he was a child, so he's basically still a child in a man's body. His emotional development isn't anywhere near his physical...ahem...size. I think Luke is good for Andrew and will over time help him be more outgoing. I'm still rooting for both of em!
I absolutely LOVE that I can't predict a single thing that will happen in this manhwa. BRING IT ON GUWON!!!
I think season 3 was a mistake.
No cause I literally was ready to fight the author, wdym this rushed shit is ending..?? ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Right?? They should have just ended it at Season 2 (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Without knowing any better, the main character reminded me so much of Ahjussi from Dangerous Convenience Store, then I find out it's the same author! I love her work, and I love this story so far - can't wait to see where it goes!
I only made it through 3 chapters and I need a goddamn shower. This is fucking disgusting on every single level possible.
Who's the silver haired guy? Did I miss something? I'm so confused right now...
Newly introduced character. He'll be probably the main antagonist for this season
I'm already rooting for him!
Where is he? I did not see him
Chap 75.5 shows him when he shot the arrow and when he saw mc walking
I cannot find 75.5 tho
My mistake it’s 79.6

Nooo don't root for him. I have a feeling he'll be just like Heeryang in a more sinister way. He's going to use Yeonjo as a bait for his personal gain
Crap!! Poor Yeonjo has been thru so much already, I was hoping for someone to rescue him ╥﹏╥
Woah he seems like bad news to me
After reading all 67 chapters I've come to the conclusion that they're both idiots.
You just realized, horny idiot and rag idiot... crash that they're both now broken idiots
I've been researching (cuz I love to), and Sisyphus was a king in Ancient Greece who was punished by Zeus and Hades, forced to push a boulder up a hill for eternity only for the boulder to roll back down to the bottom where he'd have to start all over again.
** In chapter 1, amid the chaos we see Guwon's hand reaching up from under the ground, like he's crawling out of Hades/Hell
** In Chapter 3 Guwon takes Jinwoo on a hike to a very remote place to stare at a boulder on top of a mountain, then says "What if it moved and crashed back down?"
Very clever Author-Nim! I'll share more notes as I find them - I started re-reading to make sense of it all and I've already got quite a bit (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
ily for sharing this
Oh my gosh yess we need more people like you
ty!! I have more but it's getting into possible spoiler territory if I share too much
so is guwon sisyphus in this metaphor or…?
I believe that that Guwon is Sisyphus in a very real sense. Part of his legend involves him tricking Hades into chaining himself to a rock in the underworld which lead to a 'no more death' situation (like we see in the beginning of the manhwa - people can't die anymore). This then pissed of Ares because none of the people he was fighting were dying, so someone figured it out and unchained Hades, then they punished Sisyphus by making him roll that boulder up a hill for eternity.
There are also a lot more references to his muscles being "hard as a rock" and the fact that he's extremely cold (like a rock). The first time Jinwoo walks to Guwon's house he comments on the incredible number of stairs saying "Why would anyone want to climb these stairs that seem to go on forever??" - Someone who has been pushing a huge boulder up a steep hill for who knows how many centuries, that's who!
There's more too, I can keep going if y'all would like!
Yes please, please do! I found one of your latest comments and now plowing through the rest xD
