How is she credible when she doesn’t remember anything and is not even real JBY? She has no idea what her divine powers are supposed to be and just trusted everything mama Jin and master Lee said to her.

I don’t use twitter or other cesspools like it so I’ve no idea what people are saying about him on social media. But sounds uncalled for, he’s great as ML here.

It just looks like most people are fanning over ML, other actors deserve praise too.

What are you even trying to say here? What should I be apologizing for? For writers confused writing about what actually passes the genes the magic powers? There's no consensus on this within the drama itself. What some characters say there doesn't mean it's a proven fact. We were given only one physical evidence so far - JBY's body without a soul still possessing magical divine powers, her blood still carries power. It is also backed up by Jin Mu's part 1's plan to use the blood worm with JIn blood to open the vault. But I suppose you're free to dismiss that.

And why are you quoting what JBY said? She's clueless, she just repeats what was told to her by mama Jin and master Lee.
The only one who knows best what's going on with her body is master Lee and I've already said that I take what he says at face value, because he's not a liar. I don't understand why her soul'd be rejected if the body regains divine powers first, before Naksu remembers herself. I've raised that question here numerous times. But I don't believe JBY's soul is still secretly alive inside the body.

Feel free to disagree, but I work only on facts that are shown as proven in this drama or at least come from trustworthy characters.

Why only ML? I think most of the cast are brilliant, they too deserve praise. Especially the villains, love to hate them, they are total pros. A few younger side actors could have done a better job, but that's just my opinion.
And I'm still wondering whether it was a coincidence that both FL's voices are so similar sounding. It adds greatly to seamless continuity and made it easier to accept og/new face in part 2. And in part 2 og actress plays such a cute, innocent girl, it's such a contrast compared to her badass self in part 1, hard to believe it's the same actress. And JSM was a total pro as well, everyone still missses her (though I do think GYJ has better chemistry with ML, don't kill me).

Without all these great actors it would have been a shit show, because it's mostly a chamber drama and good acting is key.

I still chuckle remembering how those hypocritical grandpas were fighting each other over the ice stone in part 1. It was hilarious 🤣.

Yea, everyone is so self-centered there, one has to wonder whether they ever agreed on anything 😂 .

What days? I'm applying logic and facts presented in the drama as always. If you lack compelling arguments and can't argue like a civilized person, resorting to insults instead, I'm not the one to blame.
I don't want any flame wars here, so let's just agree to disagree. If master Lee lied and somehow saved Bu-Yeon's soul for some sort of grand plan of his we'll see soon enough, only 4 episodes to go.

They have to vote unanimously, otherwise the bill won't pass.

I rewatched it and you're just speculating. It can also be speculated that since the body is remade anew, the side effect is not only the soul losing memories, but also the body losing innate divine powers (which are innate to the body, there's no divine soul in it to say otherwise) and both have to readapt to return back to normal. And I strongly disagree about master Lee lying, he never did that once.

I doubt it. Master Lee never lies. Saying to mama Jin that only the body can be saved while secretly saving Bu-Yeon's soul as well would be a blatant lie.

They have a general Seo and he's not a part of that organization. They are not military, ordinary guards have different uniforms.

To this day I still have no idea what Cheonbugwan stands for and why does it have so much power and tight connections to the royal family.
Songrim, for example, easy - a school for mages and an institution that regulates use of magic.
Sejukwon - a healers school and healthcare organization within Songrim.
Jinyowon - a vault to safeguard dangerours relics and artifacts made by the ice stone, and also a school for female mages/priestesses who wish to join Jin clan.
But Cheonbugwan is what? An organization that records constellations throughout the year by astrologer mages? Why does it have so much power and fingers in all pies then? Why Jang Kang, as Gwanju, was hunting down sorcerers as well? Wasn't it Songrim's job? Why are they frequently clashing about their duties?

Thankfully, there are no reincarnation tropes going on in this drama either, I hate those too. They just have those folklore beliefs about certain fates associated to people born under certain constellations.

And according to that love poem, Songrim founder left the ice stone for Jin clan founder, but she refused to use it to prolong her life and died. And it was left with Jin clan ever since. I guess Songrim founder could have asked for it back later to destroy it? He probably couldn't because Jin clan bitches are possessive 😂 and didn't want to give it to him. Or he didn't care about what happens to it anymore.

Master Lee seems sure that ML and FL fates are linked together (for better or worse). They just can't help themselves but to meet each other. Is he hoping they gonna repeat Songrim and Jin clan founders' lives? That didn't end well, they saved the world, but Jin clan founder was injured and died soon after the war. Also, I'm not sure whom master Lee considers to be fated to Uk, cuz we have Naksu here and JBY, both are tangled so much together now that I'm not sure who's the catalyst. But I guess it's Naksu, even though she originally had no connection to the Jin clan. And since she's a wild card, maybe things will go differently compared to the past events.

But I guess, overall, I'm willing to take this sort of "fated to be together" trope over dumb "childhood connection" trope any day. It's good that Yul got rejected in part 1, him remembering those forest meetings with Naksu was total cringe, guy had nothing to go on from the start but his own fond memories. He never could handle Naksu 😆.

I'm not. She turned off the lamp the first time by herself in episode 2, when she was going back home from Uk's house. Uk noticed it's off later and came back for her at the Unanimous Assembly, where she repeated the trick. Sword touching was later in episode 3, when she was back at his house and tried to light the lamp on.

She turned off the lamp without touching the sword first. Can lighting up the lamp be considered a separate ability?

She turned off the lamp before touching her sword.
And Uk is already confused, because she remembers stuff even without touching anything now.

Yea, I'm glad I'm not the only one justifiably asking questions and being confused.

That's a bit of stretch right now with no real connections. As I've said above - general allegories. Fire-water, ying-yang, light-shadow, yada-yada, etc.

And usually in Asian culture a woman represents water, ying energy and is the black part on the ying-yang symbol ☯. And Uk gave Naksu blue jade for same reason.
So if we're drawing parallels, it's actually Uk who should have more connections to the fire bird. That he has the ice stone in him is temporary, if the ice stone belongs to anyone it's Jin female clan. They were made to be associated with water and female power on purpose here.
