The scar was shown. I don't remember which episode. Watch it again.

Maybe a story for another time?
My bet they gonna put it in Jinyowon again or destroy it for good. Because next time there won't be mighty JSR to protect it.

Yea, yea, let's not forget his father's sins. She hated Jangs even before he was born.

Yea, she aged visibly by quite a lot that day. But she was already recoiling when master Lee told her his suspicions about JBY, it was before the endgame events.

I've no idea. But Uk was killed that time, he didn't die of natural causes. And
while the ice stone healed his wound, it still left a big scar. So it can't renew the body 100% it seems.
He also had great fate ahead of him as King's star, maybe that contributed to him resurrecting as well.

Also, that Choi mage dying with spent ice stone still inside him is kinda telling as well.

Not just destroying the artifacts. Add to that continued disrespect, cancelled marriage to Jin Cho Yeon, hiding a soul shifter in the body of her other daughter, stealing that other daughter from Jinyowon, etc. He's got a lot to apologize for 😂.

Yea, that's very unlikely 🤣.

Uk has a lot to make up for concerning mama Jin 😂. He better get that female heir first, that'd make up for everything.

Yea, it's all understandable. What's not understandable is mama Jin suddenly becoming so reasonable, when she was in denial, obsessive and very unreasonable for most of the time.

Master Lee is not immortal, but long lived. It's just that some people, like master Heo, still remember him as an old grandpa. He basically lives a second life now.
He was a very old grandpa when he reached Hwansu level and shifted souls into a body of a boy.
But as you can see that boy grew up and is growing old, it was mentioned he's around 40 years old now in his new body.
He also practices some stuff like drinking chaste tea that may help him live into a ripe old age again.

So unless Uk also shifts his soul into a new body at some point or starts practicing master Lee's peculiar practices (unlikely) he's gonna grow old and die eventually.

You won't understand anything if you don't watch part 1 first. Part 2 is a seamless continuation of part 1. Watch part 1 first.

Who said that? Wasn't it just bragging who's gonna provide a female heir to mama Jin first?

He still gonna die of old age I think. But he does possess highest level of magic and can't die when killed, the ice stone will resurrect him.

I'm also curious what happened to Choi mage and his ice stone. Was his ice stone corrupted or simply cut off from the sky magic due to being trapped in Gwido?

He still has it. He's Daeho's Superman now and forever.

He's not really a soul shifter since he shifted into a dead body without a soul and he reached Hwansu level of magic - he can't run wild.

Tbh, I wasn't really convinced of mama Jin's sudden return of sanity and her being content with Naksu walking around in JBY's body. She recoiled too quickly after master Lee told her JBY's soul was actually JSR's. Does it really matter for an obsessive mother who raised her child from birth? Yea, JBY was kinda creepy and knew too much when she was a child, but still.
Personally, I wanted mama Jin to die for her crazy stunts in both parts, but I guess her not really getting her daughter back is also a win. In the end, she's just a tired old woman who lost a lot. "Pitiful" was the word used in the drama itself and it fits her perfectly.

It was a happy ending, all the bad guys died, all the good guys survived and all the couples got married.

It's because of the format. Gotta keep the audience in suspence until the very last episodes. Pacing issues and rushed endings is a bane of many a kdrama. Could have been better, but it's not so bad here in AoS.

I'm glad that at least one theory voiced here earlier was actually correct - JBY's soul was actually JSR's soul from the ice stone. I enjoyed theorizing with you, guys, here, even if most of the time we couldn't predict s*it 🤪🤣.

Can't say that I liked as many. Some turned out to be very boring or disappointing in the end. But it was a quite a good year for quality kdramas overall.
