It's unclear whether her magical powers will return. Master Lee used up all of her energy to mould Bu-Yeon's body into Naksu's. She has no energy now, but I guess she can refill it gradually. I recall grandpa Heo saying that he collected 10 years worth of energy.

I'm not liking master Lee's deliberate inactivity. He knows everything, can do everything, but most of the times does nothing. He even knows how to help soul shifters cure their affliction - mould the bodies they possess into those that resemble their souls.
He could have even helped the Queen, that bitch is still in agony and on constant drugs because of what happened to her.
He also could have prevented some of Jin Mu's and shaman's plans in part 1.
And he certainly could have told Uk that Naksu's alive. Poor guy's life is living hell now, he even wants to attempt suicide. Come on, master Lee, stop being such a stick in the mud!

Most likely because it's some unknown sorcery.

Yea, it means nobody actually knows shit about biology there and are just speculating. But since it's clear that Naksu still has divine powers even though Bu-Yeon's soul is dead, it means that genetics are actually passed down through good old biology, not through souls. And Jang Uk is Jang Kang's son. Which was also obvious since late king wasn't even a mage.

It’s fantasy, they can have whatever fashion they want.

No, he just misspoke. Naksu still used aos, but she got trapped inside Bu-Yeon’s body. Not sure what Jin Mu gonna do now though, she’s no longer a soul shifter. Will the bells still work? Does she still hold a curse from the shaman?

They did, watch episode 2.

Keep in mind it's only 10 episodes and they've a lot of ground to cover. No time to dawdle.

She's not new. And that's og Naksu actress from part 1. She returned into her own body now.

Well, he knew her best and saw her most often.

But it's still his Mu-Deok/Naksu. But yea, I'm sensing they will show some funny struggles for Uk and Naksu. Him trying not to give into her and her being jealous of herself.

Perhaps, since she was dead in the womb, I'm guessing her soul could have been given by the ice stone or returned altered.

Wow, why did you even start watching part 1 then? Uk is a walking talking plot device with op freebie powers, plot armor and fate of the chosen one. He's even worse in part 2.
You really should just stop watching it, I can see you're too negatively predisposed already.

Well, the villains believed that the worm will help her open Jin vault. So they were in biology camp, I guess. And perhaps she would have opened it in the end, or wouldn't have because it was not enough blood. But Mu-Deok opened it for her.
And So-I doesn't have the worm anymore - it's in Yul. So she's back to plain old thief.

Don't ask me. I already said it above - either a retcon, or it's genetics of the body that determines the passing of genes, not the soul, like it should anyway. I'm just waving it off because nobody seems to have any real scientific knowledge of how it actually works in Daeho. But we have evidence here now pointing to it actually being good old biology. Means Uk is Jang Kang's son all along as well.

Well, this one here is the first actual proof how powers are really passed on. Through the body, that is. Not through souls like late king and Jang Kang believed. Which makes Uk Jang Kang's son, btw.

Also, if you recall Jin Mu disrupted the balance of Mu-Deok's body by pushing his own energy into her. This upset the balance, because master Lee said Naksu'll be fine as long as she won't be able to push her magical powers out.

As for Bu-Yeon, she may not have had any magical energy of her own, she was not a mage after all. Perhaps it was all thanks to her body.

Yea, I thought it will be some artifact that will rez her. But it was master Lee of all people. Unexpected.

Yea, it was Jin Mu and he'll want to make Naksu do his bidding again. Not sure how it's gonna work now that she's no longer a soul shifter. But some lingering shaman's curse may still hang over her.

They should do some funny stuff like Naksu being jealous of herself and Uk trying not to giving into this new Naksu 🤭.

I think mama Jin should have just announced her second daughter as an heir in the end. She knew that Naksu, aside from seeing energy and opening Jin vault, can't do shit with priestly magic. But mama Jin is too ashamed and too vain to admit that her elder daughter is really gone. And now Uk will take Naksu and she'll end up with nothing.
