I want a happy conclusion to some major relationships and conflicts, but don't mind a few things left open to a happy ending in Part 2. I like the ending in your imagination. 😊

Took me awhile to locate something I posted the other day - glad I copied/pasted and saved. If Mom sees her with a blind-fold (not likely now) or Dad/Mom sees her up close, I think they will recognize her. 😊

I've been thinking that there are several reasons why Mother Jin doesn't recognize her.
1. She's never been up close to her - she's only seen her from a distance.
2. Today, Mom was up close when JU carried her out of the vault/cave, but her head was turned away from Mom - Mom didn't have a clear line of sight. that must be intentional by the writers.
3. If Jin Bu-yeol was blind (and that appears to be the case), then as a young girl her eyes were probably covered, like in today's episode. BUT Mom never saw the blind-folded Mu-deok - only the four young men and Kim Do-joo saw her with the blindfold.

And it was the 1st time she cried, I believe??

Thanks for correction. I usually have time to re-watch episodes and take lots of notes, but my few weeks of "free time" (I've been caring for a family member post-surgery) are ending soon. 😊

No worries - I'm just trying to give full credit to Somina J w/r/t to the video clip and what she predicted.

I finally updated the AoS Character Descriptions/Relationship;Venues in the Recent Discussion area. While reviewing the info, I realized that everyone has appeared EXCEPT two of the most important w/r/t the identify of Mu-Deok. I think they show up in Ep9 or 10.

The following finally showed up in Ep. 8 - the three mage students from noble families and Heo Yoon-ok and her "outspoken" servant Soon-yi.

Two are dead: the old King and Gil-ju

And two remaining to show up - Jin Woo-tak,(father of Jin Cho-yeon and Jin Bu-yeon) and So-yi, the wandering pick-pocket. Both can identify Mu-deok/Jin Bu-yeon.

This article mentions the first 5 OSTs. Three have been released.

I think Jang Uk is now Chisu because only Chisu can perform Tansu which is a swordmanship (not power level) technique.

This video clip appeared before AoS started. A poster here named Somina J pointed it out at the very beginning as the first clue about Mu-Deok true identity (sister of Cho-yeon.

He left for a year. Then he began to practice a spell that Do Hwa was concerned about. But he stopped after she got pregnant. So where was Jang Kang during that one year and who was teaching him about the alchemy of souls.

Earlier I re-watched some of the mirror scenes (Ep. 7) and I'm wondering what are those pieces of floating black "rock" inside the mirror w/Mu-deok. The mirror was created, together with many other artifacts located in Jinyowon, "with the power of the Ice Stone". Although the Ice Stone didn't melt, is it possible that it was broken up into smaller pieces? It is a stone, after all.

If there is one thing I've learned by watching and re-watching AoS, almost all scenes have a purpose and the purpose becomes clearer a few minutes later - or two weeks later. So, just what were those pieces of black rock???

I thought they were all trying to save him from Jim Mu/Cheonbugwan - they all know that JU would not be safe there. they were making sure he had options/choices. Well, that's the way I read the room.

"Blind Lady" (aka JBY soul) has been there all along.

I'm going to re-watch that scene over and over. 😊😊😊

Edited to add: they played special original music as well. 😊

Her name is Seo Ha-sun; she is Seo Yul's aunt. I suppose somewhere along the line, one of her Choi ancestors married into the Seo family and you have a good theory as to why she hates Songrim and it's founder Master Seo Gyeong.

The real shock to me is that she is a SEO family member so I thought she would be proud of her ancestry.

Ii think they will be a fun on-again, off-again couple. I need some levity.

Best beginning of all episodes. The end was very fine as well.

My Answer (choose one or all): because Jang Uk and Bu-yeon are destined to be together; because they are soul mates; because it is written in the stars.

I want to know what her constellation plate shows.

I thought it also showed the Mu-deok that visited Yul.
