I think today's episode provided some major clues about the Jin Ladies and their powers.
Cho-yeon said their powers were different than mages. They are "born with more divine powers than spell-related powers". It's spiritual (heart/soul) not blood (inherited). All living creatures have energy and the Jin ladies are able to cast spells (or,, kill the spirit of a sorcery detecting doggie, may her soul rot in hell for that!). But mage level magic (Jipsu, Ryusu, Chisu) doesn't seem to be their thing.

"Then both Shaman siblings ie Shaman Choi and Papa Jin will take over Jinyowon. "
I hope Cho-yeon isn't there when that happens and that she really moves out to the Jang household. Because once they realize that "blood"isn't enough to open that door, Cho-yeon (or mama Jin wherever she may be at that point) is going to be their only solution.
The Number One Mistake the bad guys are making: they think being a Jin is all about the blood (opening the door).
It's not - It's about their souls.
It doesn't matter which body Shaman Choi tries to shift to - her SOUL is not capable of opening a Jin door. We saw that today - it was Jin Bu-yeon's soul that opened the door, not So-i.
At one time,, many of us figured that in order for So-i to open the door, Mu-deok would be nearby - and then we saw the icky blood thing and said "oh, that's how it's going to work".
Haha, we were correct the first time - Mu-deok was nearby.
Dang Gu and Cho Young story is so sad. At the bigining of the ep I was like "they are so cute" but then that letter…
I think Cho Yeon has always been portrayed as younger than the other three Seasons. She's not impressed by Royalty. She just wants someone to love her for who she is - warts and all - and not for her status as a Jin heir.
This morning I hauled myself out of bed at 5:00 am to watch the live feed on tvn because I knew Ep. 16 (this show is in 4-episode blocks) would be epic. In past episodes, I didn't understand much of the conversation but loved the cinematography and world-building.
Today - because the actors are SOOOOOO good, I understood a great deal simply by watching their gestures and facial expressions.
First, Dang-gu and Cho-yeon - Words not required. it was clear what was happening. Protecting Cho-yeon from Mom. Sign this or else. Maidservent Kim to the rescue. Young love - they were darling.
Jin Sisters - I was smiling the whole time because it was obvious what Cho-yeon and Mu-deok were saying. Cho-yeon finally has a friend who she can talk to honestly. I will cry when she realizes that Mu-deok is really her sister - I just hope we don't have to wait for Episode 20 (or 28!) for it to happen.
The Three "Brothers" - didn't understand the words but Their Bond is so strong. None of them have siblings (as far as we know). They've grown up together with no family surrounding them.
If you want to do something in the next two weeks for fun - try watching with these scenes on mute. Great acting by everyone.
I hate it as well - I want to see Jung So Min play real JBY for just a couple of episodes - that's all I ask.…
I was equally confused. End game for them is clearly control of Jinyowon. I think they don't realize a big error in their calculations - they believe that So-i opened the door because of the blood. But smart viewers otherwise. It. Is. All. About. The Soul.
It's the Jin woman's SOUL that opens the door, not the blood.
Which gets us back to the amazing soul of JBY. 😂😂😂
That whole missing daughter bollywood style drama starts to really piss me off, tbh. The way they're dragging…
I hate it as well - I want to see Jung So Min play real JBY for just a couple of episodes - that's all I ask. Sooner or later, Jin Mu is going to figure out that JBY 's soul is alive and well in Mu-deok's body and I swear that if Jin Mu shifts JBY into So-i's body and leaves Naksu in JBY's body I am going stop at that point. And why the heck isn't JBY SENSING that her mom is in danger?
Re: Bu-yeon - she is end game with the ice stone. But I'm not watching if it is in So-i's body.
What I don't understand is, Buyeon seems to be so powerful and she wants to protect everyone but why did she just…
The Jin family crest also began to shine BEHIND Mu-deok and Cho-yeon. I think when Bu-yeon enters Jinyowon or touches a Jin artifact, her amazing sensory capabilities react spontaneously.
I was just reviewing my notes from when I wrote up some stuff about various religions/mysticism/shamanism/etc…
"A really powerful priestess can control people's souls and trap them to be helpless" "Trap a soul?" "Yes - if the priestess traps their powers even the most powerful mage is helpless. "
It would explain why Master Lee only sees one great soul that will "protect" Jang Uk. But it doesn't explain why Jin Bu-yeon stays dormant.
What Cho-Yeon said about Jin clan priestesses - that they can trap souls and block mages souls' powers. Did Bu-Yeon…
I was just reviewing my notes from when I wrote up some stuff about various religions/mysticism/shamanism/etc on the topic of souls. And looks like AoS has come up with a new one. Maye should be a spoiler topic. I'm going to post more below.

And the sister scenes - very special.
