I've seen dramas suddenly having changes in schedule due to various reasons. So it's not set in stone. But I really hope they won't postpone it, it even airs earlier now, hopefelly so as to not to intervene with any evening celebratory shows.

That would contradict what he said in episode 2. And if you haven't noticed, master Lee never actually lied even once.

I think it's just that he's says one thing, but does another. It seems to be his schtick in part 2. He pretends to be the cold, mean guy, but actually is still a nice and soft guy inside.
If he really suspected something I don't think he would have been able to still be so cold to Naksu.

It was mama Jin's husband, who was the traitor in part 1. He was also the shaman's brother and father to Jin Bu-Yeon and Jin Cho-Yeon. He was killed by rampaging Naksu at the end of part 1.

I gotta say I was annoyed of how much time was wasted on fake Bu-Yeon plot in part 1. But in perspective, after watching part 2 episodes, I guess inclusion of all of that detailed focus and backstory about Bu-Yeon does make sense. Without events happening like they were there'd be no seamless transfer into part 2 - why Naksu didn't turn wild in part 1 like she quickly should have, why she was saved at the end of part 1 from final death, how she stopped being a soul shifter and regained her body in part 2. It's all connected to Bu-Yeon and I guess she does play a major role in this whole drama, even though more like a cruicial plot device, not as a full fledged character. And having Naksu in Bu-Yeon's body does allow implementation of some classical tropes in the drama. If she was to transform into some noname girl's body nobody cares about, it wouldn't have been as interesting.
Hong sisters were playing the long game, it seems.

They will air it on holidays, right? I'm afraid that they gonna skip a week or two because of Christmas and New Year.

He said he removed what was unnecessary, meaning Bu-Yeon's soul. Everything else is still there, even Naksu's memories are not permanently gone. Kinda cruel on his behalf, Bu-Yeon deserved a better ending, but since the audience barely knew her as a character, more of a plot device, I guess it's not so bad, for Naksu that is. It's actually the best case scenario for her.

I'm salty that Uk, usually very smart and quick to catch on, was dumb when it came to explaining "Bu-Yeon" remembering something. He can't even conceive that she may have Naksu's soul. Even though he knew at the end of part 1 that Naksu possessed some powerful priestess' body. And he knew that Jin clan were still looking for Bu-Yeon, the one and only currently known most powerful preiestess. And that there's something fishy about this newly found Bu-Yeon, starting from same 3 years gap since Naksu died and "Bu-Yeon" regained consciousness. He could have put 2+2 and at least suspect something.
But now, no matter what Naksu remembers, it will be deemed as her simply reading the blue jade. I guess unless master Lee or mama Jin spill the beans explicitly to those two dumbasses about what's what they gonna continue suffering in vain. Uk - still being tormented by Naksu's death and conflicted by his feelings for "Bu-Yeon". Naksu - being jealous of herself.

He didn't. He only used Naksu's energy to transform the body. He said that since the body is basically new, loss of memory is a side effect. But not permanent. I guess in this fantasy memories are not stored in brains, but in souls 🤷‍♂️?

She did regain some, but both leads were dumb and decided it was not her own memories, but as a priestess she’s reading them from the blue jade. Now no matter what she’ll remember I guess they’ll still think that, until someone like Master Lee will explicitly tell them she’s Naksu 🙄
And of course she’s now jealous of herself 🙃

Flower of Evil was good until around episode 13, then it went downhill rapidly and ending was contrived crap. Another overyhyped drama for me, but actor was good indeed.

Whether a drama is crap or not is decided by me, I don't care what other people think. I'm not basing my opinions on other people's opinions. If you like it, good for you, keep riding in the bandwagon. I've my own preferences. And if you keep insulting me and other people here for disagreeing with you and for having their own tastes , I'll just block you.

I agree with you. And I didn't like Again My Life neither, dropped it. And I recall people were raving about it because of that long nosed whatshisname ML actor. Overhyped pos because of the actors all over again.

People watch all sorts of popular crap, doesn't mean I have to. And I know ratings are misleading because there were numerous overhyped dramas with high ratings that in reality weren't anywhere near as good, for me at least.

Agreed.

I thought it boring, personally. But I do like the actor, I think ratings are insane because of him. Same thing happened with One Dollar Lawyer - ratings were crazy because of the actors, but the plot was an incoherenent, rushed mess.

Reborn Rich is overhyped because of the actor. Happens all the time. I found that drama boring and ridiculous from the get go and dropped it.

It's Naksu's soul in Bu-Yeon's body. But she thinks she's Bu-Yeon. So it's unlear what she meant by saying that sentence at the end of ep3. Maybe she remembered something from her times sharing space with Bu-Yeon, but thinks she was Bu-Yeon, a bystander, who was not in control?

But you also have to remember that she did what she was told to by Jin Mu, or he'd kill her. He never gave her a chance to go against him when he put that worm into her and told her she'd die because of it if she disobeys Jin Mu.
Sure, she wanted to not only survive, but to live a high life and as a scoundrel she did some bad things. But most of them were unavoidable because of the above reason.
I want to see what she'll do in part 2, how far she will go for Yul. So I'm reserving judgement for now. And she's the closest thing Yul has for an admirer, nobody else loves him, poor guy looks lonely.

I wasn't saying she was a good person, but for me she's somewhere down below in the list of people who need to get killed. Mama Jin and Jin Mu topping it. Depending on where they go with her character in part 2, So-i may even get lenience from me, she seems to be an ambivalent villain who may even turn to the good side if sufficient enough encouragement is given and nobody is breathing down her neck. But those two guys are simply incorrigible and irredeemable.
