But comparison will be made and it is needed. JSM basically set up Naksu character, if GYJ will not be able to act like her as Naksu, then it's not gonna click and will just be jarring to watch.

Alright, just some PSA again: It's not been officially confirmed yet that JSM will be replaced by GYJ in part 2, for now it's still a rumor parroted all around. Hold your horses until last episodes will have aired this week.

Also, yes, you've seen GYJ do the action scenes well, but JSM barely had any. Just a one hit kill tansu move. So how can you assume JSM won't be able to perform just as well? She has dancing background, action moves may be as easy for her as was said for Yul actor in his recent interview.
And furthermore, this is not an action focused kdrama, it mostly revolves around character interactions and JSM nailed all 3 roles she was given. Can GYJ perform just as well? That remains to be seen. I personally will judge her for that, not for a couple of minutes of action scenes.

Wonder if he knows the full story though. I mean, why sit on this information instead of using it to accuse both Jang Kang and Park Jin?
Also, it's still not clear what he did to poor papa Cho so that he ran wild.

I was talking about his mother, not his father.

Yea, that may throw a wrench into credibility of Songrim, but also Cheonbugwan. But she could have started with this, not with the ice stone. She probably doesn't have any proof now, otherwise Uk would have been in big trouble already, but if Jang Kang will appear then it may finally be revealed.

More likely just some commoner.

Jin Mu's father was mama Jin's father, his mother was some harlot or smth.

No, that dialogue was about something else. He said to her:
"If I die, you will bring your sibling here from Jinyowon?"
Why would he say that?

Doesn't exclude a third sibling though.

What about that dialogue with eunuch Kim and shaman Choi? Papa Jin is not trapped in Jinyowon, he doesn't need anybody's assistace to let him walk around freely.

It's unclear whether there is another sibling. But I'm refering to her talking to eunuch Kim and he alluded that someone's trapped in Jinyowon and only he can retrieve said sibling. Why would he say that about papa Jin? Papa Jin roams the land freely searching for Bu-Yeon, colluding with the villains by attending their meetings, etc.

Any theories what shaman Choi was accusing Park Jin of in the preview? Something that he knew about but knowingly hid?
Why did she had to throw herself into the fire that was buring her sorcery books? Why was she so desperate?
And who is her sibling that only eunuch Kim could retrieve from Jin clan (vault?)? I still doubt it's papa Jin, he can go about his business freely. Maybe someone is trapped inside the Jin vault in some artifact?
Also, I think Uk searching for forbidden sorcery books (kept after the raid) will bear some fruit.

If you want it 🙄. Bu-Yeon is a powerful priestess and the lost eldest daughter of the matriarchal Jin clan, who are still looking for her. The villain used her to get the ice stone and almost killed her 10 years prior the events of the drama. She washed up ashore near Sari village and was taken in by some grandma who gave her a name Mu-Deok. And that was her body Naksu soul shifted into by accident.
Fake Bu-Yeon is an evil thief girl called So-i who knew Mu-Deok from Sari village - she was captured and forced by the villains to play the role of Bu-Yeon that they supposedly found to gain support of Jin clan.

I guess I'm tone deaf or smth. But it's not worth fighting over, for sure.

Never trust the previews, they always lie and mislead. Probably her sister's wedding or something else.

He's a rather petty man when it comes to Naksu, she even thought about it in the last episode. Is it because he's a spoiled prince, who is allowed everything? In any case, good on him for trying to keep himself in check and trying to be better. If he was an evil man, he'd haven taken Mu-Deok as a concubine by force long ago.

I still can't distinguish them, so similar sounding they are 🤷‍♂️ Only in episode 14 I clearly heard GYJ voice.

Giving it a 10 is also invalidating then, it's far from perfect.

I was thinking it's because of Naksu. Mu-Deok is like a powerful mage/cleric multiclass now, lol. And I think it was Jin Mu - dumbass was looking at her suspiciously for several episodes now, but can't even figure out she has Bu-Yeon's body. Everyone is so dense when it comes to figuring this out for some reason 😂

I'm getting EAW Min Woo's 180 vibes from this. I hope it's not gonna turn out that way.
