The story advances at a really fast pace but it is ok as it is not confusing. Now Uk made for himself a new and powerful enemy. Love how Mu Deok doesn't let him down and even schemes against Uk for his own good. Now the long wait for next ep...
any idea why he was exiledcoz he was the king's son or something.. that thing is still confusing me lol
He was exiled as a way to protect him. Probably the head of Songrim thought it would be better for him be away from Songrim, the palace, the mages.. so he will live as a random person and he will not discover his true origin. Also the King and the crown prince would not know of his existence or else it could create a struggle for power and chaos.
I did not notice blatant xianxia elements in the two first episodes. But in ep3 there is one. When Mu Deok tells…
Well now you see they also appear in other genre like korean historical fantasy genre... Since it does not belong to and does not characterize xianxia. It is not from xianxia. It is also in xianxia.

Sorry that does not define xianxia. Imaginary bows are frequent in fantasy and monk in the mountain are in plenty of asian movies. What for you defines the xianxia genre?
I love the drama very much and the actors but surprised at how much it's similar to chinese xianxia dramas
I did not notice blatant xianxia elements in the two first episodes. But in ep3 there is one. When Mu Deok tells about how powerful she was as Nak Soo, we can see Nak Soo jumping in the air and striding on water defying earth attraction like the chinese warriors hysterically do in xianxia. It was kind of surprising because she did not do that previously and others fighters also don't do that. Since Mu Deok was bragging about herself and they showed that, I was thinking maybe it is not a xianxia part but a parody of xianxia part? Need to watch more fightings to make sure. But surely I would be disappointed to see them swordfighting like hung by cables and jumping at the top of bamboo forests like chinese do.
I love how cool the FL and the ML are with each other. He said that he changed her clothes and dressed her wounds,…
Even if they are cool with each other, I think he lied to her and she knows it. It is most likely his maid who carried her on her back who changed her clothes and dressed the wound. She is not mage. I really don't see him doing it...
You all please tell me how is the romance so far. I am so tempted to break my rule and start a ongoing drama but…
Uk is a lout who likes to tease Mu Deok but I don't sense real romantic vibes between them for now. Yul used to like a teen (Nak Soo) but he is intrigued so far. No romantic feelings yet. There are hints to two other romances so there will be romance. But I hope all these romances won't be the main focus of the story. I want character development, more action and swordfights, more soul shifters and development on the alchemy, more plots and schemes... If you start this drama, I can tell you the wait for next week's eps feels very long.
I agree with you regarding Jang Uk and Mu Deok who is Nak Soo. Their relationship is made of a mix of master pupil…
I also don't wish the romances to be the focus point in this drama. If they really do 20+10 eps, there will be lots of development necessary for the story not to be boring or draggy. I also definitively anticipate some deaths among the leading characters and I include Nak Soo among them. But ok let's see what story they tell us. So far so good.
I felt like a proud mom at the end of the episode, my baby Jang UK was so strong Is this even right, he is literally…
He cheats. He has a full torrent of energy in him. It is like he received a card 'the bank gives you 10 000. You are free to use it". It is even more funny when all the people are looking at him and they don't kow he has that card in his sleeve.
I've never had sls before but after the scene on the bridge with the breathing and playing the bird calling instrument...…
I agree with you regarding Jang Uk and Mu Deok who is Nak Soo. Their relationship is made of a mix of master pupil agreement, business transaction, flirtatious behavior and best buddy teasing. I don't see one being smitten by the other so far. Plus for the moment, Jang Uk is "closing his eyes" on the fact that she is wanted by the mages and she is a soul shifter. Sooner or later he will have to face this truth.
Seo Yul is in a complicated situation. He had feelings for young Nak Soo but he probably did not know the teen girl he liked has become Nak Soo the arch enemy of the mages. He suspects it since he found the flute in the shape of a wooden bird on her body. He has not connected the dots between the 3 Nak Soo and when he does, I cannot see him projecting his fomer feelings on Nak Soo/Du Deok. It would be foolish from him to disregard her assassin's past. Also I don't think Nak Soo ever had romantic feelings for him.
If there is romance, I don't see any one going smoothly. No endgame for anyone so far.
I just realized that the FL is almost 10 years older than the ML in real life. I love it. Does this technically…
Jang Uk is 20 . Regarding Nak Soo, she seems an experienced assassin so I would rule out that she is a teen. She must be between 23 and 25. She and Yul must have the same age. It would be logical since from the get go, Uk considered Nak Soo as a potential master for him so he akcnowledged her skills and experience compared to his no skills no experience.
