She is a lovely and gracious woman - and able to believably portray a very young 20-something in AoS.

I think I'm going to call the occupying soul "Naksu Lite". 😂😂😂

Naksu is a cold-hearted, selfish assassin. Is the new improved "Naksu" really the same soul that has undergone a major "evolution" in a matter of weeks (?) due to her partnership w/Jang Uk? Or, are we seeing the influence of the other soul (Mu-Deok) that may be growing in strength and impact? Time will tell.

Will you be looking for anything in Ep. 7 and 8??

This is what I will be looking for: There were a handful of hints in Ep. 5&6 (AFTER her night episode w/Teacher Lee) that Mu-deok is becoming kinder and gentler. Is it Naksu that is changing? Or, perhaps stronger evidence of Mu-deok's presence and strength.

That is what I will be looking for - evidence of either situation.

Also, any mention of Jin Bu-yeol's constellation plate. I want to know what that plate reflected.!!

It's right where it always was - In her body.

😂

We will hopefully discover the answer in Ep. 7. 😊

I wish I was that talented, but No, I am not Hwanhon_tvn. He/she clearly understands/is able to translate Korean. Me??? I understand "mianhae" (I'm sorry); "kamsahamnida" (thank you) and "gudeyo" (which seems to have many meanings, but I like "My dear"). But I bookmark that IG site and frequently visit. 😊😊

If anyone can provide guidance on accessing the tVN "broadcast", I would be grateful. The link I was using previously doesn't work anymore. I even tried to subscribe to tVN, but wasn't successful (maybe because I don't understand Korean text so I didn't know how to fill in the subscription form and the goggle translor didn't help) I have a VPN and can access S. Korea. Thanks in advance

I found an eng sub version, but couldn't make the link work (I'm usually pretty adept at it). See my edit to original post.

Episode 7 pre-release - 2 minute clip of the "boys" entering Jinyowon. Yul is the only one with a cool head on his shoulders. 🤣🤣🤣

EDITED to add Eng Sub:

Sorry, but I can't seem to get link correct; you will need to cut and past url in your browser to see the Eng Sub version.

I missed this comment when you posted several days ago. I didn't realize that they didn't reveal her portrayal until March!

is that Jung So Min? What movie/tv show?

As we discussed (on the discussion forum) the blue outfit (with the leggings and braided pulled back hair) with sword under the cherry blossoms is my idea of how I hope she will appear when she finally joins the family (whether with Naksu or Mu-deok/JBY soul). 😊

The reason I thought of General Seo is because I noticed that the Royal guards appeared to be dressed in brown/gold uniforms and that same color was worn by the archers that killed all of those poor guys who were promised "new souls". I've tried to understand the different costume/uniforms - some are obvious, some are not. - I wish Netflix or TvN would publish a catalogue for us!

Meanwhile, looking forward to when the Jin female guards are allowed to go into action! They get to wear pant/leg coverings - just like the cherry blossom "Mu-deok" promo.

Yul is a good guy - perhaps he didn't want to follow down the path (Royal) of his father and aunt. I don't think the Old King is alive - I think the writers are playing it straight with us in terms of what is accurate - but, of course, so much is un-said at this point.

"I think the real owner should retain the body." Agree.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

I find it fascinating that although they have completed filming the first 20 episodes, they all said that they don't understand what is involved in the "alchemy of souls" and what happens to bodies vs personalities. Does that mean we won't get any explanation for what's happening with Mu-deok/naksu??

Jin Mu (white hair guy) is clearly the visible villain. However, thus far, we have not seen him perform magic or carry a sword so it's not clear if he has strong mage power or not. Many people think there is a greater power behind jin Mu and if so, my candidate is General Yeo - Yul's father - unseen, but mentioned at least once.

I cannot stop watching this video - it is an edit of some of the incredible cinematography in AoS. I've bookmarked it and watch it a couple of times a day. Cannot wait for the next one from this person.

Well. . . . . .I guess an OST dedicated to Yul/Naksu was inevitable. The 1st is still my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

I went and checked my notes (thru Ep. 4) and you are correct - all of the quotes talked in terms of absorbing "energy" not a soul. So, perhaps in the grand scheme of things, there is (1) the physical body, (2) a soul, and (3) "energy". If the energy is absorbed by a soul-shifter, the body dies and also the soul? Is the energy required to keep the body alive or the body and soul alive? This is now beyond me. 😜
