It's Hong sisters, can't trust them with a happy ending. And the fact that there's part 2 on the way just adds more fuel to the fire.

I think it will end with a sad ending followed by a big fat cliffhanger. After all, gotta keep the audience boiling in angst until part 2 airs.

Yea, let's eat one poisonous flower to immediately (!) treat poison from another. Dosage? Usage method? Who cares, for teh science! 🤣 Also, noble stupidity at its finest here - healthy doctor tries drugs on himself instead of already deadly sick patients - he seriously could have died and wouldn't have cured anybody, would have been hilarious. I'm really starting to get pissed off about "medicinal practices" here, the most offputting element of this drama.
And why are ML's eyes bulging so often, especially when he raises his voice, which is frequent? Is it his actor's way of acting?

P.S. If you want to watch a serious kdrama with similar plot and without cartoonish overacting characters try "Kingdom".

It may be unpopular because it's a slow burn drama with no romance, but at least it tries to be intelligent when it comes to plot. I'm seriously tired of dumbassery, cartoon characters and overacting in recent detective fiction dramas, I want food for thought for once without annoying distactions.

I dunno about the boy, maybe his soul was still inside or went to master Lee's burning body. But he was dying anyway and master Lee had no body, so...
I really don't think hwansu mage can soul shift other people. But he can shift himself for sure without the ice stone or soul ejectors with no repercussions.

Ugh, what is this? Why are they copying Bruce Wayne/Batman's story here? Why ML is acting like he's some Sherlock Holmes wannabe? Why is it so cheap and cringe?

It has a few serious life questioning themes, but it's still mainly a comedy.

I don't think so. I think it only works with your own soul.
However, there is another interesting fact about Hwansu - when he meditated his soul was wandering around until he soul shifted into a dying boy when he realized his og body is being burned. This is rather weird, it's like being an invisible ghost or something.
Ordinary people there however seem to retain their souls in their dead bodies, they don't go anywhere when reanimated.

Yes.

He still has no clue. But he knows Uk and Mu-Deok have feelings for each other.

Why not post it for relevant kdrama? Also, director doesn't write the script, so if it was crap it most likely was writer's fault (I haven't watched it though). In Crazy Love both director and writer did a fine job.

There may as well be one here, they've tags for everything 😂 Or maybe not, since it doesn't tell much about the plot. There is a tag called "Drinking" however, but that's reserved for dramas about dire pro alcoholics like in "Drink Now, Work Later". Here it's just a staple "wasted for giggles" scene that can be seen in almost any kdrama.

I bet you can write tropes list for any drama out there and actually work part time here on MDL to write tags for dramas 🤣

Yea, previews are always misleading. Better not get your hopes up that it concerns the leads.

We, the audience know about it from the very beginning. But characters will realize it much later after the villains start eliminating everyone who knew her as a thief. Currently at episode 18 all the youngsters know about it, but she's yet to be exposed.

Yea, but if she takes someone else's body it's the same thing all over again - somebody's not gonna be happy about it. It's gotta be either her og body somehow or just stay in Bu-Yeon's if it will be allowed.

They're still in the process of getting together. But it starts around episode 10 when Uk goes to Songrim, but Mu-Deok is not allowed to follow him. They both realize they're not ok with being apart. Their relationship gets more and more romantic starting from there.

It's interesting that part 1 took so much time and covid interruptions to film that it started last autumn and finished only in May. But part 2 filming will be finished this week. At this rate, even with needed time for post production along with CGI, if desired time slot will be open on tvN it can even air this year. Would be great.

Naksu's soul will go into the crown prince Go Won and we'll finally see that CP x Uk ship sailing 😂🤣

It can't be the same day, because it's would still be the day of the King's Star, lol. Basic astrology. It was around the same time but on some different day, with a different prominent star in the sky.
