Honestly, so damn refreshing to not have the plot centered around her "being fat" and then extreme dieting and exercise/ having a "glow up". Diet culture and the guilt hoisted onto her only made her miserable in her old life. I like that she ends up in a world and family that loves and accepts her and does not poke fun at her being chubby.
Honestly, when Guwon said he liked him back I immediately thought that it was a strange response. I didn't feel like he really completely meant it especially because he was so deadpan earlier.
I think Guwon doesn't really understand a lot of human emotions past like simple things. But he wants to protect the town and the people in it and will do things for them. I think in his mind, he sees that Jinwo likes him and he wants Jinwo to be happy and to stay so he should do stuff that he likes. I don't think he's doing it maliciously, just that he thinks this is sort of what he's SUPPOSED to do, even if it causes a physiological reaction like vomiting. I think he is just looking at it very neutrally.
I have been beyond certain ever since the first interaction with the Prince that it is 100% NOT the Prince. For one, too obvious of a culprit. Secondly, the Prince is extremely open with his promiscuity and doesn't have any reason to sneak around and hide to get it and has now openly invited Eda to have s*x with him TWICE with no shame. Everyone else is putting on a nice facade while clearly having secret desires towards Eda. The Prince never hides that and has even called the three out on not taking care of Eda when he was clearly unwell.
Also I am extremely sure Jean is the culprit. It could be all three, but no matter what I believe it's for sure Jean that's involved regardless.
What do we know about the culprit?
1. He talks like he's known Eda for a long time
2. He has a deeper knowledge of religion than some others would.
Obviously, this fits Jean since he is apart of the church and has known Jean since childhood, though that also fits Lancelot. I think there's better evidence for Jean though.
1. The attacker wears grey robes and in Ch 1 we can see his eye colour and hair, which is amber eyes and hair. Both the clothing and hair/eyes match Jean and his regular attire (it's possible for someone else to steal robes in the building, but theres more than just the robes)
2. Eda asks him Ch 1 if he is "trying to hide that evil", he smirks and says maybe, then Eda eventually says "You lusting after men?! I don't even want to think about it" which he then denies and sweeps under the rug.
3. On the second night, Eda tries to stay awake all night to protect himself. When the bells ring he thinks he's safe and then drinks tea before taking asleep. The teacup is tipped over and spilled implying he literally passed out and dropped his tea. High chance of being drugged. And who is it that knows and practices with all kinds of herbs? Herbs that could be used to put someone to sleep when innocently put into tea? That's right, Jean.
4. There's a secret passage. The Prince knows about it, but who else could know about a passage in the monastery? Someone familiar with the place, who maybe grew up there. This also matches Jean.
5. Jean and Eda were cared for by Father Rafa when they were young. As they grew up, Rafa and Jean fought and there was a huge argument. What did Rafa get upset over enough to basically kick Jean out? Maybe he saw the same dark intentions in Jean that he saw in the priest who tried to do SA a young Eda. Father Rafa could have been protecting Eda from Jean. How convenient Jean HAPPENS to return when Rafa is bedridden and can't do anything to stop him. (Possibly drugged Rafa so he was out of the picture too)
6. The attacker says something like "why didn't I do this sooner?" On the very first day. Which heavily implies he had opportunity to act on that before and never did. Jean is the only person who had been in Eda's life for an extended amount of time that we know of.
Also, not evidence based, but if you think: Man, which character would be most emotionally devastating to find out was your attacker if you are Eda? His long time best friend, Jean.
Anyway that's what I've picked up on throughout this. No matter if it's one person or all three, I fully believe Jean is prime suspect.
When Jean was like "I'll sleep on the floor" all I was thinking was "Why? So you can wait for him to fall asleep, prop up the blanket to look like you are still there, then assault him?"
Another point against Jean. What a convenient alibi for him.
You literally can't see any part of Jean under that blanket when Eda checked on him.








I'm thinking over what has sort of happened the past few chapters and I'm wrapping around a running theory. I think this might be a time loop.
Sisyphus is all about doing a task in the hopes of accomplishing it only to fail and then have to repeat it over and over. Like rolling the boulder up a hill only for it to fall back down.
What if time is repeating somehow in an attempt to have something change and Jinwoo is deeply involved in that change. Guwon has an intense feeling of needing to protect the town, like there's something inside of him that knows the town is destroyed in another timeline. He even says he woke up and "it was like everything had already been decided".
Guwon, a pretty inhuman being, is specifically is changing and is seemingly craving that change and Jinwoo is the catalyst. We can see him change in his reaction to Jinwoo.
He likes Jinwoo, but he begins by not engaging much with kissing. Then his attitude switches after Guwon is tired. For the first time EVER he falls asleep because Jinwoo is next to him. He specifically notes this after he wakes up and sees Jinwoo sleeping next to him having been by his side the whole time. After that he starts kissing him WAYY more passionately like he recognizes Jinwoo is different on a fundamental level. They have sex and he specifically says about wanting to learn more from Jinwoo, like he's trying to evolve. Jinwoo asks why Guwon gave him the ring and he replies "It means you're my one and only in this whole world." This phrasing is I think intentionally vague and meant to make you think of it in a romantic sense, but I think it's meant to mean more than that. Like Guwon has recognized that he needs Jinwoo. In this latest chapter he is ECSTATIC that he was right: Jinwoo IS DIFFERENT and calls him out when he's wrong.
Jinwoo as well has memory issues. He can't remember much before he was hit and it was clearly something traumatic. The memories he could be struggling with could be previous timeline memories. That's maybe why he always has nightmares and why he attacked Guwon in his sleep at the beginning of the story. In chapter 14 we see his nightmare: he is surrounded by the towns people who blame him. "This is all your fault. You did this. In the end, we all died because of you." We can see Gyeongha and the doctor hovering over him with blood on them like they were dead. Jinwoo questions why he keeps having nightmares. This is before Jinwoo finds out about Guwon's violent side so he has no reason to fear for their lives yet. Why IS Jinwoo having these nightmares which seem new to him and involve the town folk blaming him for their deaths? Likely because that's exactly what happened in the other timeline and he is having fragmented memories of that time.
wait this actually makes sense wtf
Let him cook nahhh HAHAHAH crazy
READER-NIM COOKINGGGG
This makes a lot of sense!!! Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
