Tomorrow's plot twist, lmao:

He had the Ice Stone first, it seems. How he got it is a big question mark for now.

Yea, a very refreshing ML, so straightforward all the time.

Doubtful, there was a big fuss only about his records. Two people being born under the same star would have put her in danger as well. But she was born under specific blessed star.

Welcome to your average high school anywhere, lol. Nothing unusual going on in Songrim.

She wants revenge on her clan's disgrace by Songrim. He clan probably was involved in misusing soul ejectors in the past during the war.

Yea, can't trust anyone now. Anyone could be a soul shifter with today epsiode's revelation.

Jang Kang started researching alchemy of souls and found and unsealed the Ice Stone a year prior king's request. So the research was of his own accord.
Then he was deceived by the king and ML was conceived.
Around the same time he helped Jin clan's daughter to be born.
Then he got cold feet after seeing his friend/Naksu's father soulshifted and dead.
Then he blamed ML's birth on his wife's affair, sealed the Ice Stone and ran away.
10 years later the villain found and unsealed the Ice Stone with the help of Jin clan's daughter. Now the Ice Stone is in the possession of the bad guys.

What a weird dude indeed. My guess is that he was working with the bad guys initially, but due to altercation and regrets he ditched everything and ran away like a coward.

Uk's gonna be fine since he's happily being filmed in part 2 already.

Yea, and it's dragging for sooo long already...

I think all he needed were some kind words, but Mu-Deok only gives him the stick. Good thing maidservant Kim was there to support him this time.

Yea, after those history scenes and villains plans were shown it's a safe bet for me that this all will end in a big battle and history will repeat itself.
But I'm interested in FL's ending the most - will she die? Will she stay in Mu-Deok's body? Will they get separate bodies? I get a worrying feeling that part 1 will end on a bad cliffhanger with Naksu presumably dead. Then they gonna look how to bring her back in part 2.

Yea, Jang father brewed a giant mess and ran away like a coward. And Jin mother is in imminent danger because of course she'll believe that fake girl is her daughter.

If that was Jin father, he was standing in the corner watching the ritual from the beginning, he can't be Jin Mu. If that's Jin father then he's either been with evil guys all along, or got soul shifted. If he was with evil guys all along I don't really understand his 10 year quest of searching for lost daughter and bringing in random girls. Could have done what is going to happen to pickpocket girl years ago.

It's sad, but true.

Doesn't sound right.

Yea, and what's more sad is that this is the only plot point his character has going for him. He's already too perfect, he has no character development, he doesn't investigate evil guys like Park Jin, nothing. Just blank slate pretty guy.

Looking at the preview Mu-Deok's gonna taste a bit of jealousy as well, it seems. Serves her right, lol. That was a bit cruel betting on the precious egg, even for ML's motivation. That new Heo girl got herself caught in a matchmaking misunderstanding. I hope they're not going to drag this plot point as annoyigly long as Yul's.

I wish they'd drop this nostalgia plot line already. It was a dead end from the very beginning, now it just feels like they're beating a dead horse. Just say that you know who she is, stop dancing around the issue, or you'll end up like indecisive Park Jin. Come to think of it, Yul already is the best candidate for being Park Jin successor - like a younger carbon copy, lol.
And Mu-Deok can just drop it already too, he doesn't believe her lies either.

I don't since the first episode, lol.
