Those scenes were longer than necessary but surely confirmed that So-i's fate will be a miserable end.

Cuteness and bickering overload! These are my favorite type of scenes.

I guess you read my "wild crazy theory". 😎😎😎

I think JSM will return.

Cau and Isabella answered for me.

My unpopular opinion is that the Naksu of the first two episodes is not returning - I think GYJ will play Cho Yeong. "Naksu the Shadow Assassin" was a creation of Jin Mu with brain-washed memories.

I think some of the characters are going to end up at Wol Fortress at some point. Jang Gang returning, recent focus on Do-Hwa. Where did you see mention of Heo Yoon Ok filming?

Well, Jang Gang could make the 7th (in addition to the six I named). As long as it isn't So-i!!

Character/Location Descriptions updated today 8/19 (see here: https://kisskh.at/discussions/can-this-person-be-translated/73883-aos-character-descriptions-and-relationships-venue-descriptions-spoilers )

So, a new question arises – Who are the Seven Stars surrounding Jang Uk? In Episode 15, Master Lee says “Even if he exists, the light he emits will be faint. And the energy of the seven stars surrounding him will not show yet.”

When looking at the updated Character Descriptions, there are six characters (plus Jang Uk) all born within a few years of each other: Seo Yul; Park Dang-gu; Cho-yeon; Bu-yeon (“Mu-deok”); Cho-yeong; and the Crown Prince.

And then we have Heo Yun-ok and So-I also in the same generation.

I swear that if So-I is one of the stars, I will vomit.

Found this translation on Twitter of LJW and JSM talking about the ending:

LJW: the ending is something that you guys cant imagine
JSM: you might think it's almost over but you can only know by watching it till the end

Still cuts for Ep. 17. Jang Gang and Jang Uk. Not much new but always fun to see.

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"
