Thanks. I binge watched it and had a hard time keeping track of the different couples. 😊

I think it was Bu-yeon's energy, but since Naksu isn't aware of Bu-yeon's "presence", she assumed that she was feeding off the eunuch because her body is beginning to need energy.

I understood the conversation between the Fake Queen and her eunuch that the Real Queen is still alive and living elsewhere. Also, I guess it's pretty clear that Papa Jin is the "sibling" residing at Jinyowon but he must be a soul-shifter because JBY was ~ 10 years old when the ice stone was recovered. Unless he was a Choi all along - we don't know his surname (original name).

Because the original soul (Jin bu-yeon) is the "great soul" that resides in her original body. But no one else knows this. They only believe that a soul-shifter (Naksu) resides in the body.

Unfortunately, I think Jin Mu figured out that Maidservant Kim is Park Jin's weakness - she is now in danger.

Jin Bu-yeon is in her own body - she won't run wild. I was really hoping Bu-yeon's persona would appear today, but apparently only insofar as she was pulling energy from Eunuch Kim.

What? I knew Jin Mu was one of the husbands. I gotta look the actress up I guess.

I'm guessing daughter of Jo (Cho) Choong. In the preview, she was at a death anniversary table - I assuming for her father.

Reminder that the next OST will release at 6:00 pm KST. I will be asleep.😊😊

English translation (not official subs). Very funny scene.

I don't know about "reincarnation" but I have always wanted to know if Jin Bu-yeon's star chart was special and today we find out the answer is "yes" (unless Hong sisters playing games once again). The destines of Jang Uk and Jin Bu-yeon are intertwined and together they have the energy/power deal with the ice stone and save Daeho. Except Jang Uk's gotta get his act together and reach Chisu level at a minimum.

I hope Bu-yeon survives. And the dog.

Right!! What about "A crack forms when the bodies clash with the souls they carry which causes them to lose energy"

And Yul said: "For everything to go smoothly I heard they should pick someone similar in gender, age and build. They all need to be similar"

Did AoS writers just toss out the rule book in today's episode?

The very first week, I was so confused that I wrote the AoS Character Descriptions/Locations - It's posted in the Discussion Topic section and I try to update it weekly. 😊😊

Okay - we each watched the same two scenes. And it was Eunuch Kim - the Queen's eunuch. In a prior episode, when Songrim was investigating Cheonbugwan, it was mentioned that a lot of Cheonbugwan mages or officials had suddenly disappeared - so I thought they were the potential army.

Which came first? Did Jang Kang have possession of the ice stone initially (as Jin Mu stated) and Mama Jin knew it and approached him for help? OR, did Mama Jin have possession and gave access to Jang Kang in order to save her baby? And once he had possession - AND saved Jin Bu-yeon - he began to experimenting with "transferring souls into dead bodies". Regardless, Jin Bu-yeon's birth was "blessed by the skies" - a good sign.

I'm just surprised the writers didn't reinforce why SHE is so determined to keep him going. [But my theory is that Jin Bu-yeon is exerting influence on "Naksu" 😊]

In the past, I believe we only saw Jin Mu keeping the Queen's Eunoch Kim alive by feeding him souls. It wasn't clear that the Soul Ejector was required. Today we actually saw him use the soul-shifting process. Maybe I missed some scenes - I tend to FF through the Jim Mu scenes in the secret room because I'm extra squeamish. I posted a theory weeks ago that he and the Queen were creating an army - but didn't think about it being and army of old mages.

When was the last time she talked about regaining her powers? I think she just wants to live - and not petrify. And even that doesn't seem to be driving her at this point.

Creating an army of mages wasn't new???

Eunuch Oh is lots of fun the way he gleefully instructs the Crown Prince about "romance".

In past episodes, they gave us a reason for Jang Uk pushing himself to become a mage (saving Mu-deok). I didn't hear Mudeok use that "carrot" today but maybe I missed something?
