Actually I think the producers wanted to avoid this conflict of an experience actress change to a rookie actres…
That's just dumb and implausible. No matter who the actress is - you put her in as FL for 20 freaking episodes and of course the audience will get attached and will cry a river if she's replaced, especially if she did a mighty fine job.
Yea, this show wouldn't have been so good without her. I dunno if og Naksu actress can pull the same level of…
I dunno, I've seen some comments saying she can't act for shit. I'm reserving my judgment because I can't say anything definitive from those short ep1 scenes.
My biggest hope for part 2 is that they won't just kill off Bu-Yeon - let her finally return to Jin clan or all that character build up and sub plots about her would be just a giant waste of time in part 1, that led to her completely undeserved demise. And second biggest hope is that GYJ will be able to fill in JSM's shoes as Naksu on the same level of quality. I don't care if she's pretty or not, she just gotta deliver now with her acting, otherwise it's gonna be a bust for me.
Btw, that Uk's "Mother of Dragons" ending. Hong sisters clearly watched GoT - "red wedding" and now this 🤣 But I would have appreciated less clothes for complete copycat 😂
Jin Mu had a plot device left by the shaman to make every soul shifter that used the villains cursed soul ejectors go wild. He used it to hypnotize Naksu to kill papa Jin, Uk and other mages. She went on a rampage, killed many people, mortally wounded Uk and in a last ditch attempt to get rid herself of Jin Mu's control jumped into the lake partially petrified. There she was fished out by two women (probably Jin clan's servants) to an unknown fate...
