I guess we can base on the name of the manhwa to understand the plot better. "Sisyphus" is originally a Greek legend about Sisyphus whose subsequent cheating of death earns him eternal punishment in the underworld, once he dies of old age. The gods condemned him to push an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. (Wikipedia)
From the ancient picture of the original Sisyphus in the legend, we can also see that Guwon is inspired a lot from the Sisyphus in the legend, which explains why there are so many different versions of Guwon and the teacher. It seems like they have made a lot of attempts to break the cycle but things always end up in vain.
But what remains ambiguous to me is what happens next ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Is this kind of punishment eternal just like in the original story?
Guess the teacher may be the game-changing element in Guwon's fate now that this time Guwon chose to protect him instead of let him die along
Omg I love it when there is a Greek-legend-based plot like this, feel so literary and artistic
could we also agree that the storytelling is just so damn EPICCCCC?ヾ(☆▽☆)
With just a few words, no lengthy lines, but we all could feel the distress and agony the characters are going through, get worried and even frightened thinking about how their future might unfold
This is really the definition of epic storytelling
