Not really. If you paid close attention you'll get that it's now Naksu in Naksu's body, with Bu-Yeon most likely still tagging along.
But Yul had no hopes here to begin with, I'm not sure why some people still think he has a chance.

It’s not, I’m sure the writers planned this all along. After all, part 2 existence was decided in pre-production.

No, watch it again. Uk wasn't present when Naksu's body was on ice in Songrim. But he did visit the secret room after it was stolen. He only could have seen it at the pyre. But it looked like he came only after it was burned.

Uk hasn't seen it. But Yul has seen it.

He hasn't seen original Naksu's body. Maybe only from afar at the pyre.

I'm sure everyone have these same questions atm.

Have you even watched part 1? Bu-Yeon mystery was big part of the plot.

And Jang Uk eats soul shifters for breakfast now. Have you seen his powers? That's clearly not something one can learn in 3 or 33 years. And while master Lee's energy pool is no doubt vast, Uk has an unlimited energy source. Master Lee also doesn't have King's star powers, whatever they may be.
But I guess we can only know for certain who's more powerful is by having them duel each other. Which unlikely's gonna happen.

I'd agree with you here. One has to wonder what Yul will do when he sees Naksu, he knows her face. Will he stay true as a friend who was rejected, or will he start third wheeling again now that FL doesn't remember she rejected him.

And that useless Heo girl is definitely still pining for Uk, it was shown in episode 1 she's still hoping for something.

I don't really get what you mean. I thought you were talking about that fake peasant accent/dialect Naksu used while pretending to be Mu-Deok. And which she dropped when she was herself and speaking with Uk (or drunk with maidservant Kim).

Actually, even though there are only four thresholds of power, it was mentioned in part 1 that they still have varying levels within said thresholds. For example, a Chisu mage like Uk was easily beaten by Chisu mage Yul, who actually had higher skill level at that point.
Same with Hwansu, I guess. Nothing can compare in power with the ice stone.

It was fake anyway. And she's no longer a servant to have it.

The child actress costs much less than JSM. That's my simple answer.

Mama Jin keeps her alive because she already knows she f*cked up and there are no second chances. They are still merged inside one body. Now mama Jin just plans to marry her off and keep her prisoner in Jinyouwon forever so that she can birth an heiress with priestess powers.

I really hope mama Jin gets her comeuppance in the end, the evil delulu shit she keeps doing is seriously pissing me off.

It's not proven yet that she intervened with Naksu's aos on purpose. Her priestess body may have autoblocked Naksu's powers if it was a coincidence.

As for little Bu-Yeon, is it known in what scenes she will appear in? It could be yet another flashback or another ice stone conversation.

I gotta tell you I've a theory that Bu-Yeon's soul always was Seol-Ran's soul, because Seol-Ran's soul may have gone into the ice stone after her death. And Bu-Yeon was dead/soulless in her mother's womb - perhaps when Jang Kang used the ice stone, Seol-Ran's soul transmigrated into Bu-Yeon.

Other theory is that the ice stone can collect souls inside it. And it is actually sopported now by seeing how Jang Uk collects souls of soul shifters like they're pokemon or smth.

As for that conversation inside the ice stone - if it possesses a collective consciousness it could have assumed little Bu-Yeon's form to speak to Naksu. Also makes sense why she said "we" with this theory.

The main culprit was that slandering woman. But that ex-instructor chose to put all the blame on ML for not helping her to do what? File a police report which she could have done herself? Slandering commenters are easy enough to find by their IPs nowadays, police could have gotten to the bottom of it.

And you clearly know nothing about corporate ethics, when someone gets metoo-ed, companies fire that person first all the time, instead of waiting for said person to clear his name. Because nobody wants bad publicity. And it's certainly not company's obligation to do that in blamed person's stead. Check it out, it happens all the time irl. It is cruel, but that's how business works.

Sure, ML could have tried helping her out of goodness of his heart, but if you recall he had no heart at that time. That he didn't want to relive his past trauma is also a contributing factor.

Yea, in that scene at the tavern with Uk she was so like good old Naksu.

Mama Jin botched resurrecting Bu-Yeon properly and now it's still Naksu and Bu-Yeon inside Naksu's body somehow. It's plot reversal. And she can't remember shit because Jin priestesses can erase and scramble memories, which mama Jin did.

Mama Jin pretends that it's Bu-Yeon, but knows that Naksu is still inside. That's why she mistreats her, instead of doting on her and keeps her locked up in a dungeon like room. She wants to marry her off to some subservient guy to keep her in Jin prison forever so that she can give birth to an heiress with priestess powers.

If it was just Naksu inside the body, keeping her alive, or having that marriage plan makes no sense, Naksu's soul has no priestess powers.

If it was just Bu-Yeon, mama Jin would have been all over her, showering her with love, like with that fake Bu-Yeon in part 1, instead of giving her cold shoulder and keeping her in solitary confinment.

All evidence so far suggests it's both of them again inside one body, because of the aforemntioned mama Jin's plan and FL seeing energy, but not being blind.

Higher. He has unlimited power now, because the ice stone is inside him.
