Pre-release (Two minutes clip) for Ep. 9. Apparently Mage initiation parties are similar to fraternity initiations. But what I want to know is this - Is Daeho so backward that women can't become mages? Being an assassin sorcerer (sorceress?) is the only option for Daeho women? Pffftttt.

No problem at all. Since there are very few comments, it's a good location. And it's easy to edit a comment in the topic forum if you need to update.

I thought Councilor Seo was with Heo yeom when Heo noticed Mu-deok's ear - and he was the one who told Mu-deok that Heo had given JU an extra 10 years of energy? That's why I thought he had appeared.

As for not including Bu-yeon on the list yet - she's not a stand-alone character as far as I'm concerned. When she's finally confirmed, I'll revise Mu-deok's description. I'm looking forward to it. 😎

You are right - we don't know all of the properties. But Gil-ju thought the "ice stone" would stop him from petrifying. If Mu-deok was THE ice stone, then it should have made a difference. But then, I never thought she was THE ice stone.

When I updated the Character Descriptions this week, i noted that Dad and the pick-pocket were the only two that had not yet arrived on the scene and I predicted it would be this weekend. If he appears early in Ep. 9, then good guess on what the cliffhanger will be. 😎😎😎

Thanks for sharing.

I just posted a stand-alone "topic" on mage levels and the Soul Ejector/ice stone. Hope it helps.

Full of information - wish I could read Korean on their images and videos.

Wow, this is great. You should visit the tVN site for AoS. They refer to Mudeok as "Virtue" and Naksu as "Falling Water".

New viewers to AoS are constantly asking some of the same questions over and over, so I wrote up a reference guide for: (1) mage levels and (2) the Soul Ejector and "ice stone" . If I have time, I will add artifacts of Jinyowon (but if anyone else wants to do it, please be my guest).

Big thank you to poster lidi_17 who provided translations from Episode 5 that were variations on the mage levels.

While writing it up, I kept capitalizing the term "Ice Stone" as if it was one specific item. But in the show, it is never capitalized - it is always "ice stone".

Question: If Mu-Deok is the "ice stone", why didn't it heal Gil-ju? In fact, why wasn't she able to repel the poison from Gil-ju?
Answer: She is not "the ice stone".

I think the very first time he saw her she was wearing silk - and her hair was pulled back/hanging down.

The only real problem, from my standpoint, is when it gets personal, as in "you guys" or "you are blind", etc.

I think maybe he will be visiting sejukwon and meeting up with his distant cousin(?) Heo Yoon-ok. 😊

If you step back, there are many times that characters do ask the questions and the answer appears flimsy to the audience but it makes sense in Daeho world. It was easier to blame Cho-yeon for opening the Jinyowon vault and breaking the mirror than to even consider that Mudeok might have mage energy.

Questions are asked even by our heroine such as "Why is it this tiny body keeps craving foot".

The one unasked question that is difficult to understand is that kinder/gentler Naksu still doesn't think about or care about Original Mudeok's soul. But, without a doubt, it's required in order to gain max impact for the ultimate reveal whenever that may be.

The dress JSM is wearing looks like one of the outfits in the mirror "room" - pale pink w/pale green collar. 😊

Maybe this was previously posted - it came out before the show started and shows 5 of the 6 "young" Daeho elite actors (Dang-gu missing) at a coffee truck. Eng subs provided and when Arin was asked to provide three hashtags that introduce her character, she says "#Danggu, #jangwook and ##Buyeoni. 😄😄😄

lidi_17 - thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰It looks like Jipsu and Chisu descrirptions are fairly similar to the originals, but Ryusa was different enough that they translated for us? At any rate, I can finish my "reference" guide now and will try to post before Ep. 9 broadcast.

If JSM returns as JBY (as a human) I will be ecstatic.
