Whatever is going on, you can count on Jin Mu to be the one behind everything. He either provided Cho Yeong's body (or ashes??) to Mama Jin or described her looks (which makes ZERO sense since her face is recognizable). I'm sure he's the one who arranged the marriage between "Bu-yeon" and Uncle Seo.
Mama wants an heir to take over Jinyowon - she is growing weak (according to character description) and she is desperate for the heir. Jin Mu wants the ice stone.
I was disappointed in Park Jin today - shame on writers. YJS is an incredible actor and he deserves better. Same for Maidservant Kim/Oh Nara. Hopefully their time on screen today was to describe the last 3 years because otherwise, they were a big nothing burger.
Can't wait for Jin Cho-yeon and Dang-gu to "form a complex and delicate relationship."
Sorry you feel that way but the whole plot was always centered around naksu and not bu yeon. People tend to forget…
People tend to forget this: The writers have told us that AoS is a triology: (1) narrative surrounding Naksu and Jang Uk; (2) the conspiracies involving the ice stone; and (3) Jin Bu-yeon's story. 😀
TWO separate Pre-release "translation" (I don't think we ever get official subs on the pre-leases - correct me if I am wrong). Both of these "twitterers" do a phenomenal job of translating quickly - if you read both, you will certainly understand the basic dialogue (I loved when Jang Uk said: "the Jinyowan Preistesses know who I am".
Small little crumbs/photos about "Uncle Seo". This article says he is Queen Seo's brother, but tvN states he is some sort of cousin. The actor is rather young (age 34) to be an "uncle" of Yul. Whatever, he is ambitious and charming and based upon some BTS tweets, he is working with Jin Mu and the Queen.
Me? Stay the heck away from our precious Cho-yeon and Dang-gu!!
So naver decided to do a poster with No GYJ on it, they even have young Buyeon but No GYJ. I wonder what that’s…
It's not Naver, it's tvN. character descriptions (and new photos) on tvN don't include her either although she is on the character "chart" as a mysterious woman. tvN updated a couple of weeks ago. http://program.tving.com/tvn/alchemyofsouls/23/Contents/Html
We also don't know why Jang Gang had Mama Jin wait for a specific date to help bring BY back to life in the womb…
Based on the early episodes, "20" years ago, CY was 4-6 years old when Bu-yeon was born,; then Jang Uk was born; her father (Cho Choong) noticed the King Star Constellation plate; Jin Mu soul shifted him and eventually made him run wild; Jin Mu abducted CY; and Jang Gang left town.
However, in later episodes, the writers mushed some of these events together and the timeline is pretty meaningless as this point.
I had to log out of Twitter earlier today because Naksu fanatics want Bu-yeon DEAD, DEAD, DEAD. And every scene…
This is the most recent preview /trailer - it.s 2 1/2 minutes long and probably spans multiple episodes. The subtitles are "unofficial". Enjoy. Especially Dang-gu's part, flying through the air (Chisu level!) and FINALLY carrying arrows. And there's some other stuff also, lol.😎😎😎 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JIZfOTlnYE
I'm not messing with you - you are one of my favorite commenters because you never trivialize or ridicule others. It's those dang Hong Sisters who are messing with us - they DID change history and timelines in the later episodes - most of which were filmed in the spring of 2022 at which point they were beginning to finalize Part 2 scripts.
