I honestly thought I would be so disappointed to watch this but I am not. I can't explain how it tug my heart strings to see Cho-yeong(Naksu) live the life she could've lived if the traumatic things didn't happened. If life had been different, and she didn't have to choose between survival and living. I loved her as Mu deok-i, (S1)but I also loved her as Cho-yeong(Naksu, S2) because I got to see the version of her that bears freedom. Honestly, I was planning to skip S2 because I alrdy known beforehand that Mu deok-i wouldn't be there and I fell in love with the character but I am glad I took the risk.

In S1, I was truly looking forward to their wedding but the thought that Cho-yeong(Naksu) would have to sacrifice her power, her chance to freedom consistently bothered me. I am glad that in S2, she wouldn't have to disguise herself entirely just to survive. I also love how the drama, perfectly tells the story of how Jang Uk truly loved her soul. A love so deep it was never bound by the face she wore.
