If you're starting part 2 open-minded and unbiased, I bet you'll like it.

Plot wise the actress change fits perfectly and is obviously needed for the story.
My biggest concern about the actress change was actually the dynamic between the leads. Because So Min did such a great job in part 1 and I LOVED Mudeok and Jang Uk, so I had high expectations for GYJ and I have to say, I'm really satisfied and happy so far.
Even tho Buyeon/Naksu and Jang Uk have a different kind of dynamic and chemistry, it's still so captivating and I already love them together.

The first scene with Buyeon/Naksu in part 2 with the alcohol merchant reminded me so much of her first encounter with Seo Yul when they were young.

When young Naksu met Seo Yul, who was lying on the ground with a broken leg, the first sentence she said to him was: " Can I have that thing(the whistle)?"... she didn't even care about him being in pain. She was just fascinated by that bird whistle lol 😂

And now when she met that merchant, she saw the bottle and was like "Is that alcohol? Give it to me."... Haha, she just takes what she wants 😂

We'll see 😁 Even Jang Uk is easily flustered by BuYeon/Naksu 😂

I'm anticipating what kind of dynamic Seo Yul and Naksu going to have in part 2. I loved Seo Yul whenever he was with Mudeok. Their scenes were just too cute whenever he got scolded by Mudeok 🤣

I don't think they match at all tho. He doesn't know how to handle her temperament 😂
He couldn't handle her when she was a teen (One dispute and he gave up), he couldn't handle her as Mudeok (She lashed out on him several times and got him flustered) and I bet he can't handle Bu Yeon/Naksu's craziness as well. They are cute as friends but I don't think they fit romantically.

But I hope they really don't kill Seo Yul off... Would be really disappointed if that shit blood worm (which So Yi removed SO easily) actually kills him -_-

She was more reserved, therefore maybe mysterious, yes. But she was still this innocently childlike and curious/fascinated about things she doesn't know about. The first sentence she said to Seo Yul who was lying on the ground with a broken leg. "Can I have that thing(the flute)?" lol She didn't really care first that he was in pain 😅

And that reminded me totally of the first scene with her and the merchant. "Is that Alcohol? Then give it to me." XD

I actually think Naksu's current "personality with memory loss" being this bubbly and bright resembles her childhood personality a lot, which we saw in the flashbacks with Seo Yul. She seemed also really curious, lively and smiled a lot.
Jin Mu ruined her. Poor Yeong 😭

That's true, but I still think it's two different "occupations" lol
And I doubt Jang Uk wants to be a king, but well, let's see what the future holds for him :) I'm fine with anything but death again 😂

Not necessarily... Even tho he is born with the king star, doesn't mean it's his fate to be the King. Just like Master Seo Gyeong had the king's star but didn't become king nor yearned for it.
Master Lee mentioned it in an episode of part 1 as well.

Sadly, this wasn't my cup of tea... I was really anticipating to see Xu Kai in another drama, so I looked forward to this drama. I really liked how mature the main leads were and they had wholesome and realistic conversations, which I could relate to, but the whole law theme was too boring for me. And it took actually more than 80% of the drama. There wasn't a lot of romance in my opinion. But a lot of annoying characters and side stories. I skipped through a lot and then stopped at around ep 34... but after reading the comments, I won't finish the drama and just drop it.

If you didn't even like part 1, why are u watching part 2 then? 😂

That makes sense!

I really hope this is what he meant :D

Yeah probably... She's not much better than the Shaman witch queen 🙄

Well, I guess there are some similarities plot wise. But because AOS has two parts I don't really feel the vibes of another drama.

But personally I didn't like Goblin at all. The FL was still a high school girl and acted like one throughout the drama. I found it creepy, because the ML was an adult... and well thousand years older 😅

I really liked "The Moon Embracing the Sun" as well, but I think the only similarity is the amnesia/dead plot. This is actually a common drama trope. That's why I hated the idea of an amnesia plot, but I have to say it does fit the story and they delivered it well in the first two eps :)

So I watched ep 2 again and had to stop at one point about what Master Lee said:

"Bu Yeon's body has no divine powers and Naksu's soul has no memory, so the body and the soul do not conflict. If she regains her divine powers, Naksu's memory will likely follow."

But doesn't that mean there will be a conflict between the body and the soul if she happens to regain her powers and memory? o_o What happens to her then? Is she gonna petrify again? Or did I misunderstand the sentence?
Oh man... I just want a happy ending 😭

But maybe Jang Uk wouldn't have excited without sorcery to begin with...

But if she destroys the ice stone.... She will kill Jang Uk... again... 😭

Ep 2 was amazing again! How to wait for another week >_>

And how come no one recognizes Naksu's face but the antagonist Jin Mu? I think that's the only thing for me which is kinda illogical and bothering me. These people should've recognized her or even think that she resembles Naksu: Seo Yul ( How does he not recognize her? >_<), Park Jin ( He didn't see her yet, but I think they will also make him not recognize her even tho they had a face to face fight ._.). Dang Gu and Heo Yeom... they saw her body in that secret room.

Ep 1 and they're already back with their love language: HUGS! In Part 1 the hugs were mostly initiated by Uk, but in Part 2, it seems it will come from Naksu/Yeong/Buyeon/Mudeok ( lol too many names for our FL XD )

Take your bs somewhere else...
