I hope in the end, the fact that Jin Mu was the one behind the Naksu tragedy 3 years ago become news that's known…
They discussed it. The elders were going to bring it up to council to clear her fathers name. Of course, I can’t remember if this was before or after the council was burnt to toast! 😂😂😂
sooo i'm a little confused as to why uk in ep 9 thought it was morally right to kill off buyeon as she was the…
I don’t know if you noticed, but he gave her the choice. Before he knew who she was, he had finally committed to an act of vigor, to join hands with the CP to get rid of Jin Mu and his merry band of evil soul shifters, because it was a clear and righteous target. He had finally expanded his vision of who to protect.
He told her, that he had a clear goal, but would stay with her and abandon the mission to be happy. She chose to send him away, knowing it might be the last she sees of him, because it was absolutely right. First time she clearly showed her moral compass as well. She sent him on his mission.
In a recent interview Jae Wook has named Shin Seung Ho, who he wants to win a Best Couple award with. That's so…
I am always so impressed with his professionalism in interviews. He never loses sight of the goal of promoting the project, and adeptly side-steps loaded questions, yet is able to give honest, though filtered answers. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him fumble, even when he was just starting in 2019.
Usually I watch complete asian drama/series. This is the first series I watched weekly and eagerly was waiting…
You can also watch their oldie, Master’s Sun. Ghost of the week, and same happy ending with multiple couples. Again, a seemingly meek and weak FL lead who gets her mojo back. Lots of plot holes, but you also see SIG as SML.
More romance in this 2nd season, I guessed that's why they chose the younger actress GYJ as the female lead, for…
As stated in this thread before, there is no room in this world for Naksu, a false persona used by an assassin for vengeance. A vengeance that was manufactured by evil villain who manipulated her most of her life. There was no happiness for her.
She only had a hope of happiness with Uk, who protected her weak servant Mu-Deok persona. He took responsibility from the beginning, for all her crazy schemes to get her power back. To what purpose can she live in this world with her powers back?
As a soul shifter who could go wild at any time, she is a danger to society, and a practitioner of forbidden magic. We saw that at the end of Episode 20. That was the whole purpose of the end of Part 1. Part 2 is how everyone had to deal with the CONSEQUENCES of that act of mayhem.
This New Naksu still retained the clear sense of purpose to achieve her goals, such as having Uk help her escape, but the sense of protectiveness was a hold over from Part1, when she told Jul Wo that she found someone to love and protect, when teased about the change of character in Episode 19 or 20. Part 2 is the shadowy memory of that commitment.
I do agree that Part 2 suffered from lack of time. I’m sure there was a lot of scenes cut and there was choppy editing. While the love story was front and center, they were trying to show the ties that led to UKs final emergence as the King’s Star. He had evolved from doing nothing. He grieved over his failure to protect MD, because that only who he vowed to protect. He had to embrace the larger responsibility of who the King’s Star must protect. That’s why all his ties to friends and family were highlighted, because his sense of who he must protect grew.
That is the reason he could let go of Naksu the second time. It is because JSR showed him what would happen if he did not act with vigor. At this point, he was ready to accept that burden. He was rewarded in the end with a viable life with his fated love. Naksu could never come back as Naksu, but in her false persona of JBY, she could be a soul shifter that will not go wild while Uk had the ice stone, and a honorable life, counseling the King, the new head of education, and as heir of a powerful family. Her status was equal to Uk, instead of being the beggar maid dependent on his largesse. As seen in the finale, it is her choice to be divine priestess and leave the heavy sword lifting to hubby. She is the director of his energy. Never forget who is in charge. I swore I was not going to comment any more, yet here I am. I’m sorry it got so long, and this is not personal. I just needed to get out what I saw in this drama, before I forget.
This is more my take on the story when so many in the thread seem to miss the story arc.
Am I the only one who felt this? Nakso was Jin Bu-Yeon, everyone knows.. Jang Uk didn't know anything about it…
It was to show no matter what, he’d always fall in love with her, despite the face change, personality change, etc. Her soul will always match with him.
