It was not confirmed... I just thought nobody talked about it because for me it was fairly obvious for everyone. Gang Cheol is stuck in Yun Gap's body and doesn't understand why. Normally he should be able to go in and out as he wishes, yet he can't. That to me is the only logical explanation. It wouldn't make sense to introduce another character in the mix.

THIS being said in my memory the baby that was brought to the shaman grandmother was the same baby that saw the dragon.

So I checked...

The baby that saw the dragon was picked up in some sort of conflict by a soldier BUT doesn't seem to be the same baby than the one that was brought to the shaman grandmother... That baby who saw the dragon looks older...

So two theories:

1. I'm completely misguided and indeed the baby who saw the dragon is not Yun Gap.

2. They used two different babies because filming babies is difficult and these were not scenes in which we were supposed to pay lots of attention to the way these babies looked.

Either way... I'm no longer 100% of the baby being Yun Gap... But I'm sticking with a 50% "certainty" on the matter.

He didn't... I think it was to set up a scene in ep 6 to introduce a love rival to Yu Ri when the girl brings him back the plant. ^^

None. Yun Gap is dead.

Since Yun Gap is the baby who ruined Gang Cheol's ascent to Godhood, there must be some cope-out ... But though your theory is appealing, it just seems "too easy". I hope it's something else. This being said Yun Gap was supposed to die young as predicted by the Shaman. The only reason why his body is still there is because he is possessed。 So I don't mind Yun Gap definitely dying and Gang Cheol taking his place.

I'm sure Yu Ri feels indebted to Yun Gap but come on'.... We all know who she is going to LOVE in the end 🤣

Ah well spoiled then. Sorry.

I don't exactly know how shamanism works but from what I understand it's a give-give relationship. It terms of hierarchy though, she's below, hence she serves him.

I found it a bit difficult when they switched from Kim Young Gwang to Yook Sung Jae for Gang Cheol.
But Episode 5 was such a blast, I think he now embodies his Imugi role perfectly ^^

Also since he has a smaller built, it makes his acting all pompous all the more ridiculous which works way better in my opinion. Nobody is taking him as seriously as they should, given his almost-god-like status but it definitely would have been more difficult to believe if Gang Cheol had been in Kim Young Gwang's body.

Lots of people were making comments regarding the fact that it's too bad they switched actors... but I think it's now pretty obvious why they made that casting choice.
Also Yeo Ri is supposed to serve Gang Cheol, but she doesn't behave as if she is. I think that that dynamic also works because Yook Sung Jae is less imposing so they're buddy-buddy friendship just works very naturally.

Loving the confused Gang Cheol btw. Episode 5 was the best episode so far :D

So we started with the prince getting killed ... What a NICE surprise 😈😈😈
Too bad his mother wasn't also killed 😭😭

Still waiting for the end to start this one again but I watched some extracts for episode 7... and err. You know... In a relationship it takes two to clap.
From what I see, Bani is basically waiting for the dudes to do all the heavy work and passively wait to love the winner of the battle. Relationships don't work like that. As much as the toxic gf is annoying as hell, at least she's giving it a go whereas the other is letting all misunderstandings pile up over nothing.

Jae Yeol already told you how he felt, either you accept his feelings and you kick his ex's ass and claim your seat, or you clearly reject him and let him deal with his toxic ex not giving a shit about whether they rekindle or not (which they obviously aren't 'cuz she's a b*** but she at least would have ruined this relationship and Bani my girl, you'll also be responsible because you're a passive character in your own story). Clearly girl has literally no (figurative) balls and is very wishy washy.

I'm starting to feel the webtoon's ending is not that bad, since as far as I'm concerned, she doesn't deserve any of these two. Stop being a doormat and be active to get what you want. Gee... So unlikable.

Oh that's interesting. thanks for the cultural input ^^
... I'm guessing the "She" is a typo? Or are all river snakes female?

He's a dragon though ^^

I'm loving that show...
But the ending song is horrendous sorry.

I think the word hater has been thrown a bit too easily everywhere but I do am tired of people bashing a drama that has just started airing. I don't think somebody judging a drama after 1/2 episodes can make any form of genuine criticism let alone constructive ones.

No patience whatsoever. Especially when it comes to Fantasy, there's always a bit of lore to introduce to viewers. Currently watching episode 2 and having a blast with it. I'm not a fan of any of these actors apart from Kim Ji Hoon and I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm torn because Yun Gap seems to have been a very sweet young lad ( though pretty boring from what we saw in episode 1) but Gang Cheol is so fun to watch, I'm not sure I can genuinely root from Yun Gap's body to return to his owner.

Also the hints of romance just... doesn't bode well for any of these characters.... So I'm bracing my heart.

But I'm loving the mix of humor and dark fantasy. It's a weird mix but I personally think it works well here.

Dropping this one for now. I'm really enjoying the cheese but after reading the spoiler regarding the end of the webtoon...
I just want to be sure that they change the ending before investing more time into this show otherwise I think I'm going to curse it into oblivion.

So... Will wait for the series to end... and will read the ending from those of you who have watched it entirely and THEN only if the ending is what I'm hoping for, on ALL aspects will I watch the show. Luckily I only watched 1 episode and a half before seeing the spoiler so it's not like I've invested that much time and emotion already ^^

See you in 3 weeks 😎😎😎

So I checked the comment section when the first episode had dropped and most comments were pretty negative...which led me to not start this from day 1. The current ratings also didn't help. This being said, Fantasy being my jam, I couldn't resist giving this show a try.

And found the first episode was pretty damn solid. Yet another example of why MDL's ratings are no longer relevant. If half the series had already aired, I wouldn't say anything but come on'.

Lol I'm in the same position though not initially by choice (though now I got to say, it's a bit difficult to let go of your freedom once you've been "constraint-free" for a while). But I do agree with your comment. I kind of get the appeal of being part of a group of like minded people but honestly, I find the negatives outweigh the positives way more.

To be fair, I don't think secondary couples were a thing in old K dramas (I'm talking back to the early 2000s). Women were always fighting for the ML and that was it. Secondary couple only started to appear when scriptwriters finally got that people were tired of women being depicted as only having relationships with each other for getting a man's attention instead of you know having genuine friendships.

I would love to contradict your statement though.... But I never care much about secondary couples so anything that happens with them usually fades from my memory... Maybe you're right... Maybe you're not ^^ If some people have a better memory than mine I'd love to have their input.

Err there's one on the first page... Business Proposal. Recently aired Love Next Door ( though the kisses were awful)... I'm sure provided enough time I can give you more names of dramas with secondary couples kissing.

I wouldn't be too worried though... K dramas when it comes to romance don't necessarily follow the ending of manga/webtoons.

2 examples at the top of my head: Boys over Flowers with Tsukushi's friend ( If I'm not mistaken Tsukushi is Jang Di or Jan Di in the K drama - don't remember I dropped it) and Nevertheless (didn't watch that one but I know the ending was changed to make her get with the toxic gorgeous dude). Extraordinary You also had a different ending from the webtoon given the webtoon was still being uploaded online when the drama aired ( didn't read the webtoon though so can't know how different these endings are from each other).

Bottom line: It ain't over till it's over.
I'm gonna trust the ship I'm rooting for sails by the end. I don't think this show aims at pissing off its viewers... Well at least that's not the vibe I'm getting.

This being said... I'm probably gonna catch up up to ep 5 and wait to watch episode 6 to 8 in one go. Hopefully the crazy girlfriend will go away by the end of episode 8.

I'm in the mood for something EXTREMELLY CHEESY and I've seen some scenes online and this one seems to fit the bill.
Ratings is pretty poor on MDL, but I've learned to to not give a damn about those. I think this is one of these shows that is so cringe and full of tropes, people secretly enjoy those but are too ashamed to admit openly they're enjoying the "I'm a such a beautiful pure of heart naive woman that I don't know how beautiful I am and don't understand why suddenly I'm being pursued by a whole harem of hot guys without even trying."

Completely ridiculous premise... But find me one heterosexual woman who never had that fantasy.
As long as the ex of the winner (which I expect is gonna be Lee Chae Min - based on a few clips and my personal scale of "hotness" ) is not gonna make a long stay well, I'm on board. Tropes, clichés, slow-mo and petty jealousy are more than welcome ( as well as a couple of six packs as a bonus 😎).

GIMME EVERYTHING. 🤪
