Her father was turned into a soul shifter by Jin Mu because he knew too much, especially about Uk's birth constellation plate. He turned wild and killed his entire household. Jin Mu supposedly did it to help Jang Kang, under whom he worked at that time, but it was his own initiative.

Mama Jin. She's way more frustrating to watch that your typical villain Jin Mu.

Subject to change.

They always show kings as impotent in court in saeguks. Is there ever a drama where king's word actually is law? Personally, I think if he really wanted to, he could have lifted the prohibition, because it is reasonable and for the benefit of the country. But he selfishly wanted the rest of the population to wallow in misery alongside him.

Yea, FL changed that girl's age from 24 to 34. And if it's medieval times, at 34 women were already preparing to become grandmothers, not still looking for a husband.

Agreed, Bu-Yeon was more of a plot device than a character. We barely knew her and now she's gone.

Getting facts from other dramas doesn't mean it happened irl. But let's say there was such a custom, 7 years in a row is still utterly ridiculous and would have led to king being deposed, riots and a quite possible famine in the future. Every king and statesman knows this is very bad for economy if population is dwindling.

Yea, but he still was the one who officially issued the prohibition. It's not like he's unaware of it.

Premise of this drama is dumb af. Prohibiting people to marry and birth a new workforce generation for seven years is a sure way to ruin a country. How the ef that crazy selfish king wasn't deposed yet is a mystery, usually in saeguks antagonists immediately jump at the opportunity.

Her soul is dead and master Lee removed it from her body.

I think it happened automatically due to her body's innate divine powers.

Watch episode 2, if you haven't already. Master Lee explains what he did to reverse and prevent that.

Mama Jin seems to care only about Jin clan status and image. She should have just finally said farewells to JBY and announced Cho-Yeon as Jin clan heir when she could. Now she'll get nothing, like she deserves 😂. I'm readying my 🍿 to see how she'll be scrambling to steal Naksu back from Uk.

Isn't amnesia in top chart of oversued kdrama tropes? At least in AoS there's no reincarnation trope, which is right next to amnesia among the tropes that I hate.

Tbh, atm I don't find CP a deserving person, but he's at least somewhat better than his man child father. CP didn't change for the better at all after part 1, on the contrary, he became an even more petty and insecure person, which Jin Mu continues to exploit to great success.

How does it have Goblin vibes? Goblin was a boring pos drama, tbh. To this day I still don't get it why it's so overhyped. There's no reincarnation, immortality, grim reapers, or cluelessly slaving away for you past life's sins in AoS though. And no 1k year old evil ghosts lurking around to get revenge.
The only thing that is similar is that ML will allegedly die if a plot device is removed from him by FL. But that's about it, AoS is different and much much better than Goblin in all regards.

Can you call it JBY's body if Naksu's energy was used to transform it to look like Naksu? As far as it was told the only thing that remains in it of JBY is JBY's blood.
Everyone was expecting writers to fuse souls, but it seems they went for the bodies and threw JBY's soul out.

I personally don't think so. She shouldn't become out of tune, because her body now is identically looking to her soul. And if her divine powers will be as great as JBY's she'll be able to block energy leakage just as well as JBY's body did. But I don't think she even can run wild now, because all the things that make a person a soul shifter are basically gone. Of course, one can argue that Jang Kang also returned to his own body, but was still a soul shifter. But he didn't get his body transformed from scratch (which even erased soul shifter marks from her eyes) and he didn't have innate divine powers in him.

But of course, we still have Jin Mu and his f*cking bells. The curse that is put on a soul that used corrupted soul ejectors may still linger on her. Whether he'll be able to do anything as nasty as what he did in part 1 remains to be seen. If she won't run wild anymore (which is very unlikely at this point) maybe he'll still be able to command her soul to do his bidding as a normal human.

It was lighting from something, maybe from blue egg. It didn't look like in part 1.

Uk has his own soul. Under question was whether a person's magical powers are inherited from parents souls, or from genetics. Looks like part 2 gave us the evidence that it's the latter.
That makes late king just a sad rapist who did the dirty deed at the right time. But since the body wasn't his, biologically Uk is Jang Kang's son.
