to me, he's more of a necessary evil who doesn't understand what being evil entails. like you said, he's the leader of a town whose role is to protect it, even if it means sacrificing one to save ten. i feel like it's just been so long since season one that people are forgetting that guwon has very little knowledge of the world outside of stillwater town lol so i don't think he's "revealing his true colors" either! jinwoo was able to change guwon's mind about giving medicine to one of the children and it honestly seemed to me that guwon didn't even know he was "wrong" in that situation until jinwoo told him he was.

Idk but I really don’t understand why the ML is evil yet I mean yeah he killed his dad but it’s like maybe I’m an evil bitch, but they kill people because they’re an apocalypse and they have Limited resources. I don’t think that’s revealing his true colors. That’s literally what the beginning started out as The teacher himself was literally about to die because of those exact rules had he not been a teacher so I don’t know. I’m genuinely not sure how he’s evil. Also him running the town and having one of everything again is limited resources. They had this like weird ass apocalypse thing going on so that makes sense realistically speaking that makes sense. I think. To be honest, I think I need an explanation as to why he’s evil because I don’t see it.
