Did he ever say that he looked young because of the chaste tea? I don't recall that.

If you mean So-i, I agree - Over 4 episodes and she still hasn't been revealed to her family (although I assume it might be one of the Ep. 16 cliffhangers).

How many times have I said that Jin Mu might have Naksu's FROZEN body on ice somewhere? We don't need to worry about gathering up ashes. She's ready and waiting. I'm confidant now.

That would be my guess.

Uk realizes that Seo Yul is also hiding Mu-deok's identity as Naksu.
Uk makes a new promise to Mu-deok with Naksu's sword handed to him by Master Lee, and he met an unexpected person in the place where he followed the traces of Shaman.

Here's the English "translation" (not official). And let me just say. . . . . F**k Jin Mu - he orders them to kill the dog! I was debating whether I was going to get up at 5:00 am to watch the direct feed from Korea, but now I must do so - Doggie must not die. 🤣🤣🤣

It's in the Discussion Forum section; I changed the title today after Cau added her sword info. It's out of date w/r/t ice stone but Here is link:

There are many theories as to why Naksu's intended soul switch did not work as planned, but thus far, no answers.

The Episode 15 pre-release is up on tvN. And Holy S**t, the Queen goes off the rails. I will try to find an English "translation" - usually an hour or so.

And, I will continue my mantra: WRITERS!!!!! DO. NOT. KILL. THE. DOG.

She's the Queen!

As I have noted before, do you want the first REAL kiss to be just anywhere, anytime - OR do you want it on the top of that damn tree that they should be getting to since Jang Uk has leveled up to Chisu level. I predict Ep. 18 because s**t going to fly in Eps. 19 and 20.

I'm pretty sure it's Master Lee. Right after the scene where Heom made that comment about "someone else", Master Lee showed up at Jinyowan and released Gwiju. He tried to extract "Naxsu's" soul with just his hands - no Soul Ejector or ice stone.

At the time I posted it, I said I wouldn't have time to maintain it and asked if someone would like to take it over. 😊

Ahhhh. . . .Jung So Min gave everyone earmuffs. His BTS videos are very informative. Really enjoyed the one that showed how they (including In Soo) learned their stunts (flying, sword choreography). Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Thecla. 💕💕 I started to search last night, but I was falling asleep and gave up.

I remember parts of the discussion (something about ice stones in the handle????) but didn't pay much attention. But I agree with you -it's special. I think it belong to Bu-yeon . I've been re-watching all of the scenes where Bu-yeon "appeared". In the lake scene, Mu-deok closed her eyes and at that point, tendrils of energy began to swirl around her. it responded to Bu-yeon in the lake. it was Bu-yeon who pointed the sword at Jang Uk - Mu-deok didn't remember it.

Naksu/Mu-deok originally talked about getting energy "from" the sword - she thought that if she could unsheathe the sword, she would get her energy back. But in all other instances with the mages, they pour energy INTO their swords.

Cau, there's a discussion topic I started that is a reference guide - it included the mage energy levels. Would you be willing to put your sword guide in the same forum? It would be easier to find.

Someone did an analysis of all the Daeho swords and I cannot locate it.

Several weeks ago, I questioned why "Naksu" was happy to let "her" sword go to the Palace. Whatever she said at the moment was meaningless. Re-watching a few episodes and that sword is clearly special. I believe it is a JIN family sword. SWORD in the Palace.? ICE STONE in the palace? Bu-yeon has a plan.

Would appreciate any help locating that original post or topic discussion. Thanks in advance. 😍

Maybe not just CGI. Since they were still writing Season 2 scripts after filming was complete on Season 1, they may noticed the need for more transition/explanatory scenes in the final 2 episodes So, new filming not required but perhaps some added voice-over?? Plus the CGI of course.

Originally, I assumed that Ep. 20 would involve the battle of mages with some small cliffhanger or surprise. But now I think it's all about trying to locate the ice stone and what happens when they do. Will Jin Mu figure out who Mu-deok is and attempt to shift her back into Naksu's body? Will JBY try to destroy the ice stone and die in the attempt? If so, that could be why they won't tell us if JSM is returning.
