My answer: Yes.

Here is an English "translation" (not official subs) version:

And just let me say. . . Mu-deok, this is not the way to a man's heart. 😥

Ahhhh - understand.

How do you watch the tvN broadcast? I haven't been able to do so, even with my VPN. (It's 5:10 am for me)

Cafe Mindamdang - but only if I have time, which is in short support these days. I hope to catch up tonight (Friday).

They were still filming in June (sound-stage) but Team B (outdoor group, I believe) finished in May. I believe filming began in the summer of 2021 (based upon some IG posts). They had to begin scenes without the FL because they were switching to JSM (who was also filming a movie around that time). If they rush Part 2, then we can say good-bye to incredible cinematography, choreography (sword fights, etc)), and complicated stunts. I'm willing to wait for the complete package.

The pre-release for ep 9 will drop in about 10 hours. If I'm around, I usually post a link when it happens. 😎😎😎

No info on part 2 schedule (Filming just began) . Most viewers here on MDL have accepted the fact that Mu-deok is the missing eldest daughter of Jin Ho-gyeong and Jin Woo-tak.

It's this Sunday, the 24th. Either I typed it wrong or the article has been corrected (I posted right before going to bed😊)

I have TWO wishes for AoS.

First: do not kill Jin Bu-yeon.

Second: Now more than ever, Do not kill the dog. His home was just crushed and dumped into Lake Gyeongcheondaeho. Repeat: Do. Not. Kill The Dog.

1. Battle on the ice, especially the choreography and cinematography of Park Jin and Naksu.

2. The entire sequence with Gwiju - Jin Cho-yeon walking into Songrim, the 1st attack and then the 2nd attack and Jang Uk smashing Gwiju's "home' just in time to save Mu-deok.

3. Foreheads touching.

Edit to add: 4. JBY's soul saving Jang Uk from Gil-Mu's attempt to soul shift. When I saw that,I said out loud "Holy, Holy, Holy Be Still My Heart." and I stopped the stream and re-watched three more times before proceeding. 😍

Just did a quick re-watch. I got the son's name wrong - it is "Geon". Jang Kang was going to retrieve his soul and Mom blamed him - she didn't say much, but you are right - they were both dressed like nobility, not a villager.

Have we ever seen Jin Mu with a sword? I've glanced through some episodes and so far I haven't seen one at his side. We also don't see him casting spells or performing sorcery. He was a mere servant/pupil of Jang Kang. He may be Co-Villain, but I don't understand how HE could have been the one to train Naksu.

In the same episode, the King said Jang Kang had spent his time "transferring souls into dead bodies". So, I wonder if "Geom" was a colleague or friend who had died - and Jang Kang was trying to revive him.

I agree it's difficult. If she was 10 at the time, that would explain (to me anyway) how she was able to excel so quickly as a mage - it was harder to believe if she was only 4-5 when Jin Mu began.

I loved that scene! In fact, I loved that entire sequence - the cinematography, the choreography, a not-so-young Park Jin flying into the air. That one arrow that he conjured up that gained energy as it sped through the air (atmosphere).

I'm curious why you believe Naksu was 10 years old when her father was killed. The maid easily scooped her up to hide her so my guess (and it's pure guess) has been that she was 4-5 years old in that scene. I wonder what Jin Mu saw in Naksu's constellation plate because her father didn't indicate that there was anything particularly amazing (but maybe there is more to that father/daughter scene).

Yoo Joon Sang is a great actor - apparently an accomplished musician as well. Maybe we get to see him play an instrument and sing to Kim Do-joo. Would love to see that. I read somewhere that he had to go through a lot of physical training to prepare for the sword fights.

Mother Jin has never been up close to Mu-deok. The only time they were near each other was when Jang Uk brought Mu-deok out of the vault and her face was turned away from the mother. I'm pretty certain that was intentional.
