If the plan is to shift the Queen's soul into So-i, then I don't think she would approve if she knew about the blood worm. I'm wondering if Jin Mu has been double-dealing her the whole time -claiming that his biggest wish is for her to reign over Daeho when in fact HE wants to be the one ruling over Daeho. He has mage energy - she doesn't. I feel a "wild/crazy theory" spinning in my head, but I don't have time to write it up.

Question - does the Fake Queen know about the blood worm in So-i?

Here's a link to the Ep. 17 "preview description" .

The BTS videos showing with the sword fights are my favorite - so much choreography involved.

I think Gwigu is the "spirit" or "soul": - not the relic. The relic contained (or, "trapped", if you prefer) the soul of Gwigu. Master Lee name the dog "Sapsali" which was a play on words. Back to your original question, I saw a photo credited to the organization that trained the dog used on the show and it showed TWO Sapsali dogs - one was our friend, the other was smaller and whiter. So, maybe we get Sapsali the 2nd?

He was genius-level mage. I think he's probably mastered Hwansu by now.

His hand is injured (bandaged). Maybe he's been destroying small ice stones throughout Daeho during the last few years.

He wasn't necessarily trying to master all of the elements of alchemy of souls - he was trying to transfer souls into already dead bodies. I think Do-Wha was the reason he began to experiment in earnest.

The question is: did it all start with Bu-yeon? Probably.

I read the original long comment chain - it's all there regarding the ability of the skies to take away the "power" of the ice stone and I didn't have anything new to add. Yes, I see Jang Gang and Bu-yeon powering up a huge tornado storm - but I don't see it in Season 1. Before they kill off Jang Gang, they need to provide a great deal of "back-story" (just what went down with Mama Jin and Jang Gang? Has he really been searching for Cho Yeong and, if so, what did he learn?) Heck, before they kill of JBY, they need to provide HER back-story for the last 10 years.

I've said for weeks that Bu-yeon's mission is to destroy the ice stone(s) - she's willing to die to do it. Jang Gang has probably reached Hwansu by now. If - and big IF - this latest "chaos" began with the birth of Bu-yeon, I can easily see her and Jang Gang (who, under that scenario was ALSO part of the cause) joining up and trying to destroy the ice stones and Soul Ejector.

Finally got a chance to look at the scene on a larger computer screen. The iine-up is Park Jin, Mama Jin, Cho-yeon and Dang-gu. Someone is standing behind Park Dang-gu in ragged, hemp-like clothes but it doesn't quite match with Jang Gang or Master Lee.

Something strange with our Chodang couple. They were wearing different clothes earlier in the day (Mom's clothes haven't changed), but now they are in brown robes. Maybe some comic relief for us in between all the drama with the ice stone. Here's link to selfie photo on Park eun-hye's IG page (took me awhile to find the link on twitter) where Chodang duo are wearing brown robes. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgq52SlO5MB/

It is worth noting that we know nothing about Cho Yeong's mother and it's probably intentional. I believe Cho Yeong is a Jin through her mother's line. Perhaps her mother was Ho-gyeong sister? Or Ho-gyeong's cousin? Or, it might go further up the Jin line? For some reason, Jin Mu knew that Cho Yeong had potential for "power"

I'll look again when I have much larger screen in front of me. Would love a powerful entrance. 😊

As everyone should know by now, I see "frozen Naksu body" everywhere. 😁😁. I thought about fake Bu-yeon but Mama Jin is standing right there (apparently although who know which soul is located in which body by the end of Ep. 20) and I don't think she would let anyone touch her "daughter".

Naksu's bloodstained clothes were on the body they burned in public. Of course, if it was an illusion, anything is possible.

They began filming Season 1 in June of 2021 and didn't finish until May (?) this year. Obviously 10 episodes is shorter filming schedule but I don't mind longer wait if it means we still get jaw-dropping cinematagraphy and CGI.

The scene with Fake Queen that you mentioned. Park Jin, Mama Jin, others are unclear (this weekend I'm viewing everything on a tiny screen) but maybe Mu-deok, Park Dang gu ??? and shadowy figure with hood on far right. [Plus Naksu's frozen body on the ground 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣]

Pretty sure he is ther way over on the right side???

That is the implication. Like I said, I don't think CP will stand for it.

A Redditor named lpath77 provided this translation which makes more sense:

"The king said, kill this maid and bring her back to life, since she’s just a maid with no powers. " And apparently Mu-deok says "I'll try".

Crown Prince isn't going to let that happen (my assumption).

Looks like it's Mama Jin who unveils that ice stone - meaning there are at least two large ones? Fake Queen's and Jin family?

I read someplace that the nighttime shots were related to her new movie that was released - if you say it is "Hunt" then - I guess that's the one. I really don't know anything more than what I pick up on twitter. 😊😊

Seung Ho and In Soo were at HMW's fan event on Saturday. I thought GYJ's ig was all about her new movie but I don't follow any of them - sometimes see random stuff on twitter.

Yes, I am angry about that. But someone posted a theory that when Master Lee pulled down the Songrim banner and laid it over the dog that it somehow saved the spirit. And I did see a photo of two sapsali breed dogs together - one is our friend and the other was smaller and all white. So maybe he will return???
