Same opinion. I have always been happy that they included a character like her in the series.
Yes. Daeho is a crazy unequal immoral world. And i had wrote before she is the only major representative character from the ordinary class (non mage/ non noble)
Yes, for me the story is progressing too. You have to build up all the details and tension for the big reveal.…
Aos has an ensemble cast. They are not there for no reason. Focus on the narrative outside the romace plot it is progressing. Think about what major involvement did uk mudeok relationship have on the major plot other than that he was protecting a soul shifter and was being trained by her. They were just setting up characters in part 1 for their involvement in the major narrative. Edit: the narrative majorly moved fwd through jang gang, even in his absence, shaman choi, the queen,jin ku, master lee (major one), and yes, i will say this, so-i to an extend. The main cast was majorly set up for character developments, romance, and relationship buidings.
Where has this comment been🙏🥺 I mean every ones view of the story moving forward is her regaining her memories…
For me i am so emotionally drained along with them that i thank the producers for giving us only 10 episodes. Because now i atleast know things are gonna get cleared out sooner. Not make us suffer this angst for 10 or 12 episodes if it was a 16 episodes plot.
I want to let out three things out of my mind. 1. Stop romanticising part 1 jang uk. Yes he was charming. Yes he was extremely well written. Yes he grew to love her unconditionally. He was on the side of good. BUT he was never really your typical nice guy character. That was seo yul. Jang uk was twisted, manipulative, always found a way to get what he wanted. And don't forget he has said hurtful things to mudeok. But then we all had an agreement on the fact that mudeok was no saint. That was why their relationship worked for me. It is a pity that we don't know what jang uk went through immediately after coming back alive and losing mudeok. The flashback scene in the trailer with park jin gives me hope. 2. As i said, Naksu/Mudeok was no saint. She had crossed her boundaries multiple time. But we came to understand her better as her story slowly unfolded in front of us. The situation here is there is no naksu, mudeok or even the buyeon that we had scene in part 1. This is an entirely different character, with the same energy (vibe if you get what i mean) (not aos energy) as mudeok. Her innocence, her love, her empathy make it impossible for us to not love her to the bottom of our hearts. That is why it hurts. Really hurts. With the push and pull. Jang uk has been a jerk to her in more than one occasion. But i don't buy the behaving out of character narrative. He is in character. Just a traumatic reflection of his personality who is constantly reminded of his prior love. 3. Major point. I don't think it is the writers' intention to romanticize the whole falling for the same soul situation. They are laying out how extremely traumatic it is to the characters who are going through this. I think it is us who built up this romantic expectation ( i did, i know for a fact). Thinking of it now, i see how foolish I was. However heart wrenching it is, it is really relatable to me. We know everything, they don't, hence the frustration from our part. (Sorry for the long rant. Consider this as my therapy 🙂) Also i don't think that the story is not progressing. Just gather the background information and shift the focus from the main characters, the story is progressing. It is exactly like in the first part. The myth, history, trajectory that the story might take were all layed out to us through minor characters from the past or the present.
Regardless of the negative feedback, I think that story is progressing properly.I just invented a root of discontent:…
Me too. I don't have any problem with the pace. It is only when people think we have only 4 episodes after this week, this tension comes up. I have decided to go with the flow. Not thinking about the number of episodes. Had all episodes been released at the same time this wouldn't have arose. I have watched enough series' where all episodes are released at once to know how everything gets solved in the final episodes. Binge watching this would have a completely different perspective.
Here is the thing. One person while trying to move on with another person is constantly reminded of the person he is trying to move on from. It is exactly like replacing one with a similar person. That is a real hell hole to be in. Because this is wrong. To both yeong and uk. If we had more episodes we would have been patient enough for this reall hell angst (i am not enjoying this, but what they have shown is real). Just imagine constantly questioning whether you love someone coz of someone else or you are being loved coz you remind him/her of their prior love. This is real shit. Hope tomorrow's episode clears all this same soul different body stuff.
