The Mountain definitely spoke and said, "Fuck You!" to the badguy! Despite Yi Kang's comment of, "a mountain is just a mountain."
This one had opinions about being used as an excuse for murder and it was expressed in a couple of tons of rock delivered straight to the dudes chest!

I thought the ending wasn't too bad. Plot wise, I think it was ok, but I wonder if some folks may be feeling the lack of an emotional impact over the badguy...On the other hand ...

Just started watching, and so far all I can think is this.
Ying Yuan: enters the garden.
Turtle: sunova B@#$H!!!

The idea being that shooting at someone who is vastly unused to having his life in danger to that degree, he's probably going to be a wee bit preoccupied with more immediate thoughts of "WTF, how is this happening, OMG I'm gonna DIE!"
Your brain works differently under super stressful situations. And people who are neurodivegent have brains who work even more wierdly under stress.
But yes, the action scenes in Asian drama's do tend to be more awkward than in UK/US productions. Asian drama's tend to go for a more emotive response, over trying to be super "realistic."

My take, they're both dead. That's an afterlife scene of sorts...
But willing to be wrong on it.

Given the wierd lighting as the camera panned behind them, the way both Tae Sul & Seo Hae were on the airplane, I'm actually leaning towards it being an open ended version of them both "moving on from this mortal coil", so to speak...
As for Sigma, I think that was showing him basically becoming slightly more insane. Not being able to deal with Tae Sul's death, and so he "became" Tae Sul, in order to continue to have someone to hate...
...But that's just my interpretation.
Also those are Spoilers, so you might want to edit your post to HIDE THEM!

Why is that one dude *always* the bad guy!!??!
I mean, probably because he's so good at it. His characters always make my skin crawl! >.<

6 eps in and the ML deserves a damn medal for not giving up and letting the suicidally clueless woman get herself killed. I've never seen anyone so incapable of adjusting to a new reality.
She's had ample proof that people are willing to kill, and kill easily all around her for several days, and she's still believing she can just waltz off and do whatever she likes?
I'm really not sure I can keep watching this, despite Lee Min Ho's permanently exasperated (not that I can blame him) General.

Yes, but are those 50 out of a hundred shows, or 50 out of a 1000 or more shows. Even if we limit the pool to shows in the last 5 years...Would female characters, who are equally as competent and capable as the men *really* carry even 50% of the female population of Chinese dramas???

After watching Bulgasal and Sweet Home, seeing Lee Jin Wook play such a huge, silly, & sweet dork was ...very satisfying. He has one of the most contagious, charming and "shameless" grins I've seen on an actor. This is a nice, safe, low stakes, light and fluffy romance.

About 3rd last ep I think. Basically not until near the end.
Its a fun, light & fluffy watch however, and I mostly watched for Lee Jin Wook being a massively cute dork.

Part of me keeps wanting to tag Min Joo as the ADHD Chaos gremlin and Sang Shik as the ASD Order grump who wouldn't know his own emotions if they were leading a 100 man brass band in front of him...

I don't know if it's because I'm at the same age, but *damn* I feel seen. This is (so far @ ep4) *the* most relatable asian drama I've seen yet. Both leads are amazing, and I initially came here just to watch Ji Jin Hee swank about playing yet another adorkable Dad.
Bitching about still not knowing how to adult when your in your 40's...Nice to see that other people really do that to.

Wow, You seem like a well adjusted person.
I mean, its one thing to say you just don't like the drama or the actor, but commenting like that about his looks is kinda ...sad.

You're watching a show about body swapping, where the FL has already body swapped, and now you want to complain about another possible body swap as a lack of logic?
Its fine to bitch about possibly loosing an actor you love, especially for a character you've become invested in, but complaining its a lack of logic is a bit of a stretch.
...This is actually making me even more interested. It's pretty brave to 'possibly' deliberately change the FL for *plot* reasons.

I agree that MuDeok's body has a strong chance of being the Eldest Jin daughters. I wonder if she ended up like that, after having the Ice Stone stolen from her.
Random crazy arse theory:
As the Jin women are responsible for the security of dangerous relics, then it's not a big leap that they would make 1 of each generation a holder/guardian of the Ice Stone. If MuDeok's body is meant to be the true guardian/bearer of the Ice Stone, then there might be some benefits that come with it. After all the Jin family is a outlier in Asian history.
It's a matriarchal clan in a *very* patriarchal society, the husbands have to marry *into* the Jin family. Only children of Jin mothers by blood are recognised. So possibly the bloodline is unusual when it comes to the Ice Stone.
It might also explain the extra impetus for the Jin matriarchs husband to spend so much energy trying to find a missing daughter, if she's also meant to be guarding the stone.
As yes, I feel that the 'original' soul of MuDeok is still hanging around. She's not in the drivers wheel, but she can still make her influence felt, and she's who NakSu and Uk see when they see the blind women in the various visions.

I feel for Yul, since he's really good at playing the silently suffering gentle heart. And yes, even for the CP. If only because his bewilderment at thinking of Mudeok is amusing.
Also Yul Damnit, Get that @#$%ing hand looked at already!!!!!

They knew each other long enough for Yul to teach Naksa to play the whistle to call birds, and for Yul's leg to heal enough to come back to see her. Which, even with Songrim healing, I suspect may have taken a bit more than a few days.
But yes, the whole asiandrama trope of people meeting as children are destined, is *very* tired.

Yeah! Studio Dragon seems to have a much better than average score for pulling off *good* drama's!

Halfway through Ep 8.
Park Jin & Kim Do Ju's slow burn, mutual sniping is adorable to watch! As is Jang Uk & Mu Deok's constant sniping as well. I also like how the CP isn't a complete arsehole, and *might* actually be a semi decent person, underneath all that royal attitude.
I have a few theories, but knowing Korean drama's I'm sure they will be wrong. KDrama's have the ability to actually sometimes surprise me, which is not something I've been able to say about Western drama's in a long, long time.
I'm wondering if Mu Deok's body is the eldest daughter of the Jin family given the reaction of the relics and the Jin family secret door. I also wonder if the Jin family are the hereditary guardians of dangerous relics, if they were also entrusted with the Ice Stone?
Currently evidence for the Danju is pointing at the Queen, but she feels to ...convenient.
EDIT:
NM, didn't even get to the end of ep 8 for that theory to get nuked. Queen it is, for now...
Also Park Jin just threw a little oil on the slow burn to speed things up!
