That whole royal damily needs to get deposed for incompetence, lack of magic power and evil scheming of the Queen. I don’t get the most how they even manage to stay in power in a country full of mages if they themselves are lacking magical powers. The most powerful mage should be ruling logically. Otherwise if the ruler is weak he’s gonna become a puppet for the court or some warlord figurehead, yet we have none of that here. Weird.

Haven’t you been paying attention? He always manipulates other people to do stuff for him. Those fire bird statues were a ploy to make people think there’s real drought coming. And if he steals the fire bird egg and it will hatch then it will indeed be real. Then he’ll force the Jin clan through the king to perform a new rain ritual so that new ice stones would fall from the sky.

Nobody can even approach Uk, let alone kill him. He’s too powerful atm. Unless he wants to commit suicide himself.

It was a question of when and if. Park Jin in the conversation with master Lee didn’t get the difference. Master Lee was hoping for if, but it seems it’s only a matter of time when.

Lol, he was Bu-Yeon's fiancee in episode 1 and now is working for Jin Mu. Come on, are even paying attention?

I'm good with it being blown sky high by the fire bird. That place has been a place contention for far too long. Just like with the ice stone - destroy the s*it out of it and there will be peace.

By forcing Jin clan to perform a new rain ritual to be specific.

Master Lee also said that Songrim founder was born under the King's star but didn't become king. Overall, he meant to say that Uk should stop loafing around and help save the world, because he has the powers.

Watch episode 6 again. He burned all the bridges there, he's not there to try and start anything romantic with her anymore. But since he didn't die yet, more scenes with him and FL are incoming of course. But at this point, at best they will stay friends or more likely he'll still die/or move back to his hometown at the end.

Yea, her saving grace is that she's pretty harmless (so far), just very annoying.

He's just an idiot with mental problems now.
He's well on the way towards the end of a typical saeguk SML who wants to do a "noble sacrifice". But in this case, nobody asked him to here and it's utterly unnecessary.
Add to that a hero's complex, lacking empathy towards his friends, arrogance and being secretive, not caring that other people care a lot about him and will be devastated if he dies...

Yea, that's a low move from her. But I'm not expecting anything out of her character expect being a cookie cutter bitch to annoy FL.

Don't sweat it, we're way past it. At this point all third wheelers have fallen off by themselves or are completely hopeless.
Yul is turning into a psycho, he's not there to woo Naksu. He even burned that bird whistle finally.
CP, after part 1 fiasco, made himself a mental command not to lust after women he can't hold. So his interactions with Naksu now are calmer and friendlier. He's not after her either.
Heo girl is still a hopeless delulu stalker. But Uk was never interested in her.

So the only real threat as always is Jin Mu and his nefarious plans. He needs to die already, preferrably together with the Queen and mama Jin.

It looks like she will find it among Yul's belongins while treating him. He probably wrote his crime confession in that letter for Uk, revealing Naksu's identity. And after reading that Heo girl will want to force Naksu to remember herself? Or she'll just act like a bitch. My bet it's gonna be both. She wants Naksu to suffer, because she made Uk suffer in part 1, I guess.

Don't think so and doesn't matter, she'll soon remember herself anyway - blue marks in the eyes will appear.

It was not explained, but at that time Jang Kang was experimenting with the ice stone and aos like a kid not knowing the repercussions - he made 8+ of his subordinates soul shifters and ended up dumping them in the lake after they petrified. So Naksu's father, being his close friend may have been one of those test subjects.
However, Jin Mu used the bells on Cho Chung to force him to run wild and get himself killed. That means he was aos-ed with a cursed soul ejector. And we've seen that whomever casts the spell - he's the one who will be in control of the body. Jin Mu could have ordered some of his cronies to aos into Cho Chung, then return back - that would have made Cho Chung a cursed soul shifter as well.

That was a classical "visiting a terrifying mother-in-law" subplot 😂. No man wants to go willingly to those sort of meetings.

True, only a precious few dramas ended with proper happy endings with no rush this year.

Well, master Lee never lies. But he frequently withholds information. Also, he was talking to himself alone while saying Naksu's soul will be rejected by the body when she remembers herself. So it seems he believes what he says.

Yea, let's not forget about the body. It's still technically JBY's body - the most powerful priestess around, with all its powers intact. It automatically protected Naksu while she was Mu-Deok from running wild, master Lee said so himself in part 1. Will she be in danger again? Who knows. But she certainly is still in danger of Jin Mu's bells, that curse was not lifted.
