the only reason I fear this is what I read about the Hong Sisters. There are so many positive/happy options for Bu-yeon, but if they're going to eventually kill (sacrifice) one of the top tier characters, then she's the most likely candidate.

Thank you for writing a comment that supports why you are looking forward to the change without mocking or criticizing viewers who don't feel the same way. Well done. 😍

I think the preview for Ep. 15/16 focused on his hands - possibly bandaged.

I haven't analyzed the voice but while I was grocery shopping (sometimes I can't believe myself) I had this thought: To the extent they plan to have flashbacks in Season 2, it will be important to have GYJ's voice if she is portraying the character.

I am invested in one character and only one character (Jin Bu-yeon) and, based on what I read about Hong Sisters, I think she is doomed, sooner or later. 😥😥😥

Not all mages are "warriors", but I would like to see the female Jin guards (who all carry swords) get involved in some good action scenes. The Jin family females are mages capable of casting spells but they are learned separately from Songrim. Maybe we will be surprised by Cho-yeon's sword ability when the mage battle begins - that would be fun.😊

I think the new court lady won't be around very long.

I thought it was Jin Mu and Gil-Ju who stole the frozen body from the secret room in Jeongjingak? Regardless, it was his people who took her and then he later took the credit for "finding" the body and killing everyone involved (who were HIS men to begin with).

We don't know if he's fake or not. But that appears to be the reason.

I always enjoy seeing the fight scene choreography.

Her body was FROZEN when Jin Mu stole it. My bet is that she's on ice somewhere and it was a fake body that was cremated.

MFatBoyMaxxi: Thank you - I've lost track of just about everything unless related to Jin Bu-yeon.

Definitely a catalyst for the twists, turns and shocking revelations.

The boy was BORN with Chisu energy. He's privileged, lazy and lucky. Like a lot of modern day K-drama chaebols. Fortunately, for him, he's also "genius" level intelligence. We are glad for his rapid progress (20 episodes - a lot to squeeze in) since Papa Jang closed his energy gate. But he did not EARN this - it was a gift from the heavens/sky.

I'm still waiting for the "sisterly" conversation between Mu-deok and Cho-yeon regarding CY's broken engagement to Jang Uk. I think it is the ONLY scene remaining from the 6 minute preview trailer that we have not yet seen. [The other remaining scene was today[Ep 14] - Park Jin's sword up against Mu-deok's throat].

There is zero doubt in my mind that he will be key in saving Mu-deok from at least one more peril. He absorbed ice stone "poison" in order to heal her - so now, Seo Yul, Jang Uk and Mu-deok (JBY) all have ice stone "poison" (or, Is It Really Poison???) in their bodies.

Do you mean So-i recognized MD? Regardless, she already knows that MD is in town and can "out her" so to speak. I imagine the two guards at Chwiseonru are as much as dead. I'm trying to remember - did Ju Wol ever see So-i or merely hear about her. I 💕Ju Wol because the actress was a great character in Shooting Stars - and she must have been filming around the same time as AoS!

LOL, but Seo Yul is the heir to THE most prestigious mage family in Daeho. His Aunt married into Daeho Royalty. Master Heo's family is "collateral", whatever that menas - probably 2nd or 3rd cousins.

Jin Mu's speech to the mages supposedly outlined his plan, but I'm still trying to understand it. It seems to be along the lines of:

(i) mages are valuable and therefor elite. We deserve to live forever
(ii) when our power grows strong enough, everyone will realize that we are right and it is inevitable.

He keeps talking about showing "the world" that they possess the ice stone at which point they expect all Daeho residents to simply bow down and donate their souls to the elite??

That's what I get out of it. Shaman Choi seems to be driven to destroy Songrim and control Daeho all by herself.

Right now, Jang Uk's plan is like the Underpants Gnomes:

Get Ice Stone
???????
Success!

He's getting ready to unleash chaos on Daeho because he doesn't have a clue what spell to cast in order to save Mu-Deok. However, I think Master Lee might once again give a hint, as in: My friend, Mu-deok is in no danger of petrification; I already tried - she's good. 😊😊

That's definitely where the writers are leading us - but I don't trust them not to pull a fast one on us with a different explanation. And if it means we will never see Jin Bu-yeon for a couple of episodes portrayed by Jung So Min I will be royally pissed.
