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.
My favorites from 2022 were these:
A Business Proposal
Alchemy of Souls
Crazy Love
Extraordinary Attorney Woo
Gaus Electronics
Little Women
May It Please the Court
Tomorrow

She officially stays as JBY as a cover. Just like when she was pretending to be Mu-Deok. But she's still Naksu as a soul.
And JBY is gone for good after defeating the fire bird. And she wasn't actually JBY at all, she was 200 years old soul of JSR who transmigrated into mama Jin's dead baby.

Yea, swapping her with child actress because it's cheaper was pretty lame. She's a grown up woman, actually she's a 200 years old grandma, why they had to make her a child in visions?

She no longer has her mage powers and doesn't care to relearn them. They're a dynamic duo of a different sort now: as a priestess she has the ability to find escaped artifacts, and Uk fights them as a mage.

But I agree, priestess powers are pretty lame compared to mages powers. But what she's got to do? She's stuck in this body now and should be grateful for it.

She is Naksu/Cho Yeong as a soul and is inside JBY's body that got transformed to look like Naksu/Cho Yeong.
But officially she stays JBY, I guess. Mama Jin admitted in the end that she's content her daughter lives on through her.

1. Yes to memories, no to her magical powers, she'll stay in JBY's priestess body. She will remember herself in episode 8.
2. JBY who's actually 200 years old JSR will briefly return to help fight the fire bird and then vanish.
3. Uk finds out in episode 9, but aside from Yul, master Lee and few other people nobody else will know about it.
4. It was a very happy ending for all the good guys, leads included.
