I'm not seeing immense anger from him, but cold rage maybe?

I bet Hong sisters will try to squeeze in love polygons some more, they just can't help themselves. Probably gonna make Yul hope for something again after Naksu will get her og body back. But at this point it's gonna be cringe, Yul should have some self respect and move on.

There was one article mentioning she'll return for a minor role.
The full cast will be added as more information becomes available.

Maybe, or maybe it's a play on their names. I've seen an explanation of their names earlier - Uk's name has sun in it, Yeong means shadow.

Considering how even dead and petrified eunuch Kim who got revived with the ice stone remembered everything and an almost dead petrified guy who got revived in Sejukwon remembered he was killed by Yul, I'm guessing running wild and petrifying doesn't suddenly erase your memory. That whole magical bells induced rampage thing looked like a type of hypnotization, which it was according to Jin Mu himself. Still a shitty last minute plot device just to wreck a happy ending in my book.

She doesn't have an amnesia, her mind simply blanked out when she was in rampage mode. She only came to at the lake when she stopped hearing the bells. Jin Mu hypnotized her to go there to die after her killing spree.

She was killed by Park Jin's spell while inside the queen's body. That's why the real queen is still inside the shaman's body and pissed off.

Naksu x Yul never gonna happen. Unless Uk soul shifts into Yul.

I mean Hollywood that keeps on churning out comics adaptations, sequels, prequels and reboots of already established media. Nothing new and fresh there. I don't even go to the cinema now because there's literaly nothing to watch there, just same old trash.

It's just a different actress and it's just a teaser to show she's there. People are overthinking this.

Well, yea, props to SK for trying something new. If it was Western media this drama would have never seen the light of day, they only play safe there. But playing safe also means guaranteed success, experiments such as this are very risky.

People are just speculating because GYJ's facial expression in the teaser is too soft. Don't ask 🙄 I thought after 20 episodes it was established that Naksu's personality has changed, but apparently it wasn't enough for some people.

Also, this will be the beginning of huge comparison threads where GYJ's and JSM's Naksu expressions will be disseminated to find inconsistencies. And I'm sure there will be, because they're different actresses, can't copy one another 100%. May become off putting for people who got attached to JSM's representation. Showrunners should have known better, sigh. But whatcha gonna do now...

Yea, I totally agree. It's a difficult thing to accept. Especially how brutally and nonchalantly the writers wrecked the leads happy ending, it just adds to the sting of JSM's Mu-Deok being ditched.

Well, that whole character/actress swap experiment after 2/3 of the show was harmful to begin with, they should have foreseen the fallout even while reviewing the script. I've seen in the news fans are going wild and are badgering TvN for doing Mu-Deok dirty, trying to kill off their favorite character and asking to return JSM back as the lead, etc. I can totally unerstand them, this plot decision doesn't sit well with me either. But there's nothing to do, but to wait and trust it will end well...

They could have shot all her part 2 scenes while finishing part 1 or during transition between her agencies. So new agency may have nothing more to say, since that contract may have been completed already.

I feel yea, it's less than ideal, indeed. *hug*

Well, naturally everybody cared only about who Naksu, the FL, will be in part 2. Nobody thought of JSM possibly returning for a minor role as a different character. But as this Bu-Yeon character gradually got so much attention in part 1 and still needs closure after this kind of ending she'll get at least a cameo role in part 2.
Still, it's understandably less than ideal for many people who got attached to Mu-Deok and can't see anybody else with Uk.

Yea, her agency confirmed she'll play a minor role in AoS part 2. Bu-Yeon needs to have closure.

Btw, with the shaman gone Jin Mu can destroy the magical bells after they serve their purpose and finally use those cursed soul ejectors. He said he hasn't soul shifted yet into a younger body exactly because of it. I'm thinking, him being chummy with CP and grooming him as his teacher, he may soul shift into CP - the man with ultimate power in Daeho.
