No, actually the king got wind of the fact that Jang Kang learned how to do it. He didn’t order for him to learn it. For whatever reason Jang Kang started researching it on his own. I feel like he’s not the good guy we thought he was.

They play their relationship “dumb and loyal maid & eccentric master who really likes his maid” very well. Everybody buys it. And the only evil dude who figured it out is dead. As for Yul, he won’t tell anybody.

Nope, you're imagining it.

I think nobody wants that ending here. Especially considering Naksu has no body to return to.

Not really new, but ML has the most rights to the throne if alchemy of souls really does transfer dna in that fantasy world.

They weren't glowing. I've this episode saved in 1080p and there was nothing discernible.

Maybe people are cautious to give it a better score when they don't know how this will end? Ending may suck because of the writers?

Both are very good, but completely different. It's cool to have so much good stuff to watch this season.

Well, that would explain a part of Mu-Deok's mystery.

The queen has it. But real Mu-Deok may have a part of it inside her? She exhibits powers as if she has it too.

She can still be one. There's just no development about it in episode 8.

Crown Prince gives me the vibe of a man who likes being under a woman's heel and verbally abused :)

It can't be because the Ice Stone definitely is with the queen right now, she stole it from wherever they hid it - she makes stacks of new soul ejectors with it. And that's why Gil-Ju went to her - so that she can use it to cure him from being petrified.

But I'm thinking a part of it may be inside Mu-Deok's body, because of the powers she exhibits and because she too prevents Naksu from petrifying in that body.

She has a connection to it 100%. If the Ice Stone is with the main villain now, pehaps she has part of it inside her? I'm thinking if she's Jin clan's daughter, they've stored the Ice Stone in the vault until it was stolen and she may've been involved somehow and got Ice Stone powers by accident.

Yea, she is the big mystery for now. If she can block soul shifting from happening, she could have done the same when Naksu did it with her. But instead she appeared for the soul shift instead of random girl. Could have been willingly deliberately?

More like fourth wheelers. There are Yul Jin clan's whatshername in line already, lol.

I think that mage maiden in the past had a role passed on to Jin clan. That's why they are matriarchal. Real Mu-Deok being blind may be because of the Ice Stone connection, I think there is some magic going on with her eyes. Mu-Deok temporarily turned blind too when she broke the mirror with her powers out of nowhere.

Nowhere. It was one commenter's wishful thinking.

The Masked Vigilante

So, real Mu-Deok can block souls from shifting. Does this mean she willingly stepped in to be possessed by Naksu?
