I don't quite understand why many viewers think that Jang Uk will know that "Naksu" might still be alive? As far as he knows, she ruined the body she was occupying and jumped into Lake G. I suppose if she had her jade egg, that might be a signal, but last we saw, Jang Uk pocketed both of them. Hong Sisters will build the tension for as long they can get away with it.

He only saw it once - from afar - while "her body" (I don't think it was real) was going up in flames.

Yoo in soo was filming last week with Arin, Jin Mu and Mama Jin.😊 Wish it was a scene where those three kill the SOB, but I guess that privilege will be handed to Jang Uk. 😪

We never saw Jin Mu cast any spells except to use the Soul Ejector, which is forbidden sorcery and doesn't take much skill to perform. We never saw him use Ryusu, Chisu or Tansu. I guess he made some broken pottery fly around? His energy was fairly weak from the beginning and he has now given all of it to "Naksu", so as far as I'm concerned he doesn't even belong on the list. Jin Ho-Gyeong is far more powerful.

Folks on Twitter were speculating because when Jang Uk and CP were in Gaema village, I think the guy they visited told him that was his "fortune/future". Of course, the Park family is the wealthiest (top 1%) family in Daeho and I don't think CP is going anywhere near them. No reason to kill him off, but I think he's going to be lonely. 😊

Minor correction: Jang Gang asked Jin Mu to find the Soul Ejector - that was the first time we heard the term, but we didn't find out what it meant until several episodes later when we also found out about the ice stone.

She called him "husband" and he called her "wife". Also, a tweet by Arin implies they are married. Many assume that they will be estranged at the beginning of Part 2. Both actors have been seen together with other staff and looks like they are filming together.

ChoDang is my favorite couple. 🥰

He's never seen her face. Perhaps she will have the blue mark in her eyes.

Seo Yul has a terminal disease (parasite) and he will die in a few weeks (months?) if he is not treated soon. The balsam seeds will bloom in 3-4 months. . The soul shifters are about to start running wild thanks to Jin Mu's jingle bells. In the preview, the actors do not look like they have aged significantly. The one exception is Jin Mu (now white hair) and an easy explanation is that he gave up all of his energy to Naksu. I say 6 months max, primarily because Seo Yul will die if his situation is not resolved.

Jang Uk and "Naksu" (Cho Yeong) will not reunite (where he recognizes her) until at least middle of episodes.

I think we are to understand that when Shaman Choi set off the Soul Ejector , there was black smoke everywhere, Jang Gang arrived, Jang Uk set off the rainstorm, the Kings Star appeared. . . . . .and he managed to slip away. Many events on this show are never explained very well while other conversations are repeated over and over again to fill time.

I haven't finished Ep. 4 - stopped at the "childhood connection" scene and said WTF??? But then remembered, this is Korean comedy drama and it seems that 75% of all Korean rom-coms require that trope. Will finally have time to finish Ep 4 tonight. Enjoying the actors and the characters and looking forward to future episodes.

She's a fictional character. I simply lost interest in her and Jang Uk and enjoyed the show for other reasons - particularly the mystery surrounding Jin Bu-yeon and my favorite couple ChoDang. Lots of folks barely survived Part 1 because it dragged so much and yet they loved all the violence in the last 20 minutes of the series. I could say "how unfortunate for them that they didn't enjoy the show until the last part of Ep. 20" but I try not to judge too harshly because, in the end. . . . . . .people watch dramas for different reasons. 🥰

Please don't make assumptions about my comments. I have never liked the "Naksu" character - it has nothing to do with which actress is playing her. My point is that if JSM doesn't appear in Season 2, anything that happens with Jin Bu-yeon's body will need to be off camera and that makes me sad.

For the record, I NEVER, EVER criticize an actor or actress.

Master Heo was able to keep Master Kang "alive" even after petrification (not to mention burning) through some sort of mumbo-jumbo/hocus-pocus magic and he told the Queen that he could do the same for her if she began to have symptoms. So, no problem there. The real problem - no JSM in Season 2 to at least open up her eyes and smile. 😥😥

So, the Daeho science is established. Maybe they keep the body alive off-camera and do a soul transfer somehow. I don't care because I don't like Naksu, but like others, I'll be upset if JBY doesn't survive.

"But it's weird them saying Bu-Yeon is petrified for good". This morning, I read the article again. It says that MU-DEOK is petrified. I wonder if they are playing with us again.

I simply thought the BTS photos were fun to look at and they confirmed what many had guessed. Should I delete the post?😂😂

As for why they went to the jump-off spot - that's probably where everything gets tossed. Mama Jin told Cho Yeong to toss the broken mirror and Gwiju into Lake G.

If you haven't seen this before, here is confirmation that it was Jinyowon priestesses that pulled Mu-deok body from the water. link is to the Instagram account of the artistic swimmer w/some BTS photos.

For the life of me, I don't understand the glorification of "badass" anyone killing innocents. Disgusting.

I'm thinking that the Queen is visiting her home - Seoho Fortress. They filmed for at least one week in a new/different location. The background for the throne is different (I think? I haven't looked hard to compare). We know that her brother (Yul's uncle) will be introduced. There have been instagram photos of venues with lots of bright colors - very different from Songrim/Royal Palace/Cheobugwan. Just my guess.

They would be fools if they tried and they know it. "Naksu the Assasin" was a creation of Jin Mu - most of her memories were false- she's gone. The writers have already signaled that it is Cho Yeong (not "Naksu") that has a parallel path with Jang Uk.
