At some point, I think JU will have Do Hwa's portrait restored.

She's the "celebrity" of Daeho. Both she and Park Dan gu are excessively over-dressed in beautiful colors and jewelry.

As of now, we are led to believe that the Old King did not have mage/Lake power. Jang Uk's power came from Jang Kang who had extra-ordinary power - he mastered Jipsu in one year) . Although there was also some power of the King's Star that I need to go back and re-watch.

From tVn/Han Cinema: Lee Cheol (Teacher Lee) Master 'Hemp' Lee - He is a mysterious figure who is good at magic, and is called Master ‘Hemp’ Lee because he wears only hemp cloth all year round.

Plus he has an adorable furry dog.

Writers: Do Not Kill the Dog.

Yes. Do Not Kill The Dog.

Right. And since Dan-gu's destiny is already established with Cho-yeon, then your speculation is definitely a positive direction.

I don't know anything about the actor but as I was pulling weeds this afternoon and thinking. . . .and thinking. . . and thinking about AoS, I think maybe, no I WISH that Teacher Lee will be the catalyst of bringing JU and MD closer.

Lee Cheol is the magician who "stole" the ghost dog.

You've watched the 5 minute trailer, correct?? Very cute scene together.

More about Teacher Lee.

In the 5 minute preview trailer, he shows up at Danjuanggok (Naksu's training home)

And in Ep. 4, he appeared IMMEDIATELY after Heo Yeom mentioned a 2nd person that mastered soul shifting. And now he has the spirit dog to help him.

Looks like he sees Mu-Deok's secret next week based on the preview.

New character in Ep. 4: Lee Cheol (Teacher Lee) Master 'Hemp' Lee . He is a mysterious figure who is good at magic, and is called Master ‘Hemp’ Lee because he wears only hemp cloth all year round.

More spoilers below but all I gotta say is. . . . Do Not Kill the Dog!!

She's his granddaughter - and she's a physician as well. So, she's some sort of a cousin of Seo Yul - just not clear how distant.

She seemed very eager to make sure that sword gets into the Palace!

"the person that did the whole galaxy illumination whatever was at the palace so the royal family knows about the King’s star therefore put the brother as the next King or was is it something else?"

I thought the star gazer was at Cheonbugwan - the royal agency that examines and records celestial events, Another question for my re-watch marathon.

"For example, how Songrim, Sejukwon, Cheonbugwan etc. are translated? "

Last week, a couple of us posted descriptions of locations and characters in the "Recent Discussion" part of this page (see above the "Comments" section). I don't think there are meaningful "translations" per se. Here's a quick summary of the major locations:

* Songrim - A small city-like living community was formed around the head of Songrim. In Songrim, *Jeongjingak, the largest educational institution, and *Sejukwon, a medical institution, are located.
*Cheonbugwan - a royal agency that examines and records celestial events,
*Jinyowon Inside Jinyowon, which is secretly located in the Jin family, items with mysterious power are stored.

What Claudia said. I've been searching for the YouTube clip from the press conference on June 14(?). See at the 1.55 mark.

Bwahahahaha. . . . . first thought that came to my mind was "Luke, I am your father" (Darth Vader voice)

There were three "couples" promoted before the premiere of Ep. 1 and Park Jin and Do Ju were one of them. I hope we get to see lots of them going forward. 😍😍

Many have tried but few have mastered it? Perhaps Heo Yeom is only aware of 2 individuals - and they thought the last one was "20 years prior".
Is there a difference between soul shifting and soul "devouring"??? I think so, but at this point, I'm thinking I'm going to do a major re-watch this coming week and start documenting everything said on this topic. I believe Jin Mu absconded with some sort of device that Jang Kang created and he is using that??? But, it doesn't explain Naksu's ability. So many questions!

Good catch and it works out time wise. It doesn't explain why the four mage families were there though - so I think it was all Jin Mu's plot to hide the fact that there may be a future king out there. There are times when I wonder if Jin Mu has "planted" certain memories into Naksu's head - that is, perhaps the four Mage families were not really there.

I cannot keep up with all the clues and hints that were sprinkled throughout Ep. 3 and 4. I'm going to start writing them all down by category. Maybe (1) the science of soul shifting/devouring; (2) the four levels of energy and what they represent; (3) Jin family artifacts (that bracelet is in the title sequence - with an extra charm). If you have any suggestions, let me know.
