It's not much different from how Lois Lane would find herself attracted/falling in love with Clark Kent and Superman, even though she thought they were two separate people for a time.

Buyeon's soul was definitely in control of Naksu's back in Part 1. If there was any time for them (GYJ and JSM) to meet and interact with each other, it should have been when the ice stone was released in Songrim.

Unlike some that have voiced their displeasure with the Amnesia trope, I personally find it interesting to see what Naksu would have been like had she not lost her whole family. Plus, it gives GYJ a chance to flex her acting skills when the times comes to see Naksu remember everything that happened at the end of Part 1. I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to stay away from Jang Uk in fear that he'll suffer the same fate again.

Personally, I can't tell what I hate more right now. Having to see full blown love triangle or Part 2 ending on another sad or open-ended note. If Yul does pursue Naksu while thinking that she's Jang Uk's wife, I will not feel sad at all should he meet his end at the hands of the blood worm inside his body.

Personally, I feel like we should have gotten a few scenes between GYJ and JSM back in Part 1 whenever their characters (briefly) interacted with each other in the AOS realm. It would have gone a long way to smoothen the change in actresses for both parts.

If I had binge watched Parts 1 and 2 without any information concerning the show's production, I would have automatically assumed that JSM was fired from the role since K-Dramas tend to erase someone's portrayal whenever they've been replaced due some scandalous issue.

If history is set to repeat itself, then that means Jang Uk and Naksu will never get their happy ending either.

Agreed. Luckily for Naksu fans, they have nothing worthy about with Lady Heo since Jang Uk has made it perfectly clear that his whole heart belongs to "Mudeok". Plus, I don't think Lady Heo's feelings for Jang Uk are anywhere close to what Yul felt/feels for Naksu. I feel like the Hong Sisters will incite a lot of fan backlash if Naksu has any intimate moments (e.g., kiss) with anyone other than Jang Uk.

Given how the previous King had used AOS to take over Jang Gang's body and impregnate Lady Do-Hwa, some of my friends are actually worried that something similar will happen with Naksu and one of the male leads.

Is Part 2 not allowed to use any archived footage of JSM as Mudeok? I'm surprised that we haven't gotten any scenes of Jang-Uk reminiscing about his time with her, via flashbacks.

I don't know about that. In Episode 2, Yul told Dang-Gu that he would not make the same mistake twice when it came to Naksu. Given how he intimately hugs her, I think Yul doesn't plan on giving up Naksu again like last time.

The 10-episode count is another reason why I don't want to waste time in undoing Yu's closure by having feelings for Naksu again. For him to act on those feelings while she's "married" to Jang Uk really makes him look like trash in comparison.

Given how many parallels we've seen already with Part 1, I'm kind of worried that they'll have Part 2 end with Jang Uk stabbing Naksu this time around.

Also, I definitely wasn't expecting for them to have Jang Uk and Naksu get "married" this early into Part 2. That just makes what Yul does later on even worse since. Having Yul hug Naksu so emotionally while under the pretense that she's Jang Uk's wife makes him really look like a bad friend. I'm also concerned that Naksu may feel conflicted about Yul since she doesn't have any memories of her life as Mudeok or the closure that she had with him three years ago.

Unless Yul was already aware that Jang Uk and Naksu's marriage was nothihg more than a charade, hugging his best friend's wife like that seems pretty bold to me.

I would have thought the same had we not seen the trailer footage of Yul hugging Naksu with a tearful expression. Plus, we don't know whether this Naksu will feel conflicted or not by Yul's feelings.

The only thing that I've seen to possibly support that theory is a set photo featuring Jang-Uk and Naksu in what appears to be their wedding. This was supposedly shot on the last day of filming. However, we also have to remember that they don’t film scenes in sequential order.

Yeah, I really hope none of this is true and that someone was just pulling a bad prank. It would really taint Part 1 for me as well.

Sorry for thr late response. I came across the information on a now deleted tweet. Before the post was removed, the user mentioned that Yul and Naksu would be the main couple until near the end of Part 2 before the latter recovers her memories. The show is supposed to end with everyone dying after Jang Uk wipes Daeho from existence.

Again, I don’t know if this is true or not.

So I heard a rumor from someone claiming that the show will end with Jang-Uk using the ice stone to destroy Daeho and remove it from existence.

They also said that Yul and Naksu will be the main couple for most of this season since Naksu doesn't regain her memories until the last episode.

Does anyone know if these rumors are true?

I really hope they use JSM's footage as Mudeok for when Naksu has to recall some of her lost memories.

Agreed. The only Happy Ending that I'll accept is one where both are alive, together, and happy.

Unless there's a different version that I'm unfamiliar with, ending up in hell is not a good ending regardless of who you're with. That shouldn't even be an option for anyone wanting some kind of good ending for the couple. You'd be condeming the couple to an eternity of neverending suffering.
