Yes, it's terribly twisted. Plus, this body belongs to Bu Yeon. I wonder how she felt about it in the first series. Maybe her soul lives in the other too? Does she love him too, or does she feel nothing at all?

I think the loss of memory allowed for the creation of another Naksu who didn't remember her tragic past, who was also not blinded by the desire for revenge, that Cho Yeong actually could have been if she had been raised in a family that loved her. Memory loss also allowed her identity to be hidden. But most of all, I have the impression that they wanted Naksu to fall in love with Jank Uk first, just as he fell in love with Mu Deok almost immediately. Now he rejects her. The task is now a little more difficult, because in his heart there is no room for anyone other than Mu Deok. But as we remember, Naksu's first love was also someone else, but it was definitely not such a strong feeling as she has for a Jang Uk. And it's only because I know this that I explain to myself her current feelings for him, which she sometimes shows in too pushy a way. Probably this trick was also used, because now we only have 10 episodes where the action should go much faster than before.

For me, they are all unhappy and deserve a new beginning, especially Bu Yeon, Cho Yeong and Jang Uk.

It's a very beautiful song, but I still have "Aching" in my head, because I see this scene when Jang Uk barely alive runs to Mu Deok and frees her, and she says the words: "So you survived...my pupil". Jang Uk replies "That is right. I almost died thanks to you. My crazy master"! And that signature Mu Deok smile! It was a great scene, one of my favourites.

On this point, you're right. We live in a time where everything has to be politically correct and even movies are becoming that. It's a bit of an exaggeration to make all the female roles strong, and there are way too many of them. For me, the old James Bond was better than the new one, and I didn't mind that he had many women, such was his charm, a devastatingly handsome, self-confident man. The fact is that women are now given more masculine features, and men are made docile lambs. This is too much. That's why I like to watch old movies that don't have political censorship. The new version of Mulan was terrible, Disney is starting to weave even into children's fairy tales allusions that I don't like.

Marvel did not create such women. Women have been brave for centuries, sometimes even braver than men. Not all of them are sensitive and effeminate. The Amazons were doing great, the Viking women fought alongside them. It is civilization that has led to the fact that women have been pushed to the role of wives and mothers, because that is what they were created for :(

I think their voices are a bit similar. Maybe because Jung So Min, playing the role of "Naksu", learned to imitate her voice. Or both actresses have similar voices. At the end of the second episode, when Bu Yeon's hair was tied up and she was standing with her head bowed, I felt like I saw Mu Deok :D

What about alchemy of souls and the ice stone? They should ban alchemy of souls and the ice stone should be destroyed or Daeho will fall.

Don't worry, usually my guesses don't come true :D

Bu Yeon "Naksu" will have to use it to prevent further drought, then the ice stone will return to the sky. Jang Uk will die, and his soul will finally find peace, because there is no future for him in Daeho. It is possible that Naksu will also die, because there is no place for her there either, Bu Yeon's mother will never let her live in peace.

A very well-argued explanation. I fully agree. Bu Yeon is supposed to help him die, not actually become his wife.

How can he feel something for her? They just met and he loves someone else?

He doesn't feel anything for her yet, except for sympathy and the fact that they share a similar fate; both should not exist in this world. I'm glad that Jank Uk is faithful to Mu Deok "Naksu", because he hopes she survived. On the other hand, it doesn't even occur to him that she's so close to him. It seems to me that only in the last episodes he will find out the truth. I just don't know if they will survive or die together, because for me a happy ending doesn't fit here. Well, unless they go back in time, preferably to the moment of soul shifting beetwen the king and Jang Uk's father.

I had the same. The second episode is much better. There are even similarities between the original Naksu and Mu Deok. But the first series is excellent :D And it was also longer.

What about those who fought her in the beginning? Park Jin should recognize her right away ( when he will see her)? The body itself was seen up close by Seo Yul, Park Jin and Heo Yeom as it rested in Jeongjingak in Songrim. It's a bit unconsidered, unless everyone has amnesia :D

One thing surprises me. Why did no one recognize Naksu (only Jin Mu)? After all, her body was seen by many people.

I haven't watched it yet. I have this with actor Ji Sung, when he starts crying and is too expressive I just can't watch him.

You just have to watch it because it's hilarious. The relationships between the characters are even comical. The second season will be much shorter and you won't get used to the characters in time.

"Hotel del Luna" is also interesting. Personally, the love story of the main female character, from a previous incarnation, for me was more interesting and tragic.

Okay, I watched the second episode. Much better, the action is starting to pick up. Ha, it's definitely not going to be a sweet romance, I can't wait for Naksu memory to come back. Well, it promises to be bloodshed and a fierce fight :D Lady Jin is crazy - she have lost all her senses, great! And that cheeky smile of Uncle Jin Mu. Yes, the party get started! Muahahaha.
