Somebody already said she's the female version of Wang Yibo

I remember her in law school. I can't believe she was that fierce and beautiful NAKSU in those minutes of episode 1 😍. If someone doesn't know better, she can pose like those beautiful Chinese actresses in Chinese Wuxia dramas. She was the reason I watched the series hoping to see her again. I can't wait for season 2.

It's funny how people argue over actresses and forget the characters they took. Mudeok isn't Naksu but Naksu possessing the body which is already petrifying and Madame Jin won't accept the body with Naksu's soul in it. So it's inevitable for the original actress who started out as Naksu to finish this. Mudeok is Jin Buyeon. And to be the powerful priestess, she has to be the real deal, not as Naksu.

I was reminded of many dramas while watching this drama but the dramas which have similarities with this drama are The Untamed and Ever Night 1

I agree with all these points

I can agree with you. It really felt like 2 hours of foreplay and 4 seconds of actual sex. The build up and underwhelming showdown. The show suffered towards the finale

I can agree with some of your points. Naksu not caring to take note of the identity of the body she possessed, her getting petrified despite being in Bu Yeon's body, not getting rid of Jin Mu when they had the chance, Jang Gang just coming back to die, and ultimately, the build up and underwhelming show down for the finale were the points which I couldn't compromise on. I can understand her loss of powers because BuYeon restrained her but BuYeon not protecting her from that cheap spell was a turn off for me.

Antis do what antis do Best. Smh

Watching HYX fan videos on YouTube and reading the novel numerous times

Toxic Chinese fans. They're the reason why we are not getting HYX

Not me after watching Alchemy of souls, now I'm in need of epic fantasy dramas.

I expected that much although it exceeded my expectations. It's an opening for season 2

Go watch six flying dragons and tree with deep roots. Both are classic heavy Sageuks. She was great in both dramas. I don't know why people have doubts and hating on her just on those two dramas. Give her a chance and she will prove you all wrong.

You removed words from my mouth. She was great in Six flying dragons and in tree with deep roots

When I saw Alchemy of souls is going to air their season 2 soon, I remembered how long this drama took to air their season 2. *Sighs*

Who else enjoyed the bromance scenes between the crown prince and Jang Uk ? Those scenes had me Rolling on the floor 🤣

I too never said you said the drama is about romance but I just reminded you the drama doesn't fall under the category of romance based dramas, so the amount of romance will just be right. It won't be more or less but just right to balance with the plot and to keep the intensity of the story. This drama doesn't target romance fan audience. We don't even know if Jang Uk like Mudeok's appearance or Naksu's personality and that will take time.

Ofcourse every first season is a ground work for the storytelling but slow burn romance in first season doesn't mean much romance in the next season. The ending of the first season implies the characters have more issues to deal with than just falling in love. Jang Uk coming back to life and him dealing with the problem at hand will be the beginning of season 2 and our girl Naksu needs to again shift souls. So I don't think we will have overflowing romance because our male lead didn't know how the original Naksu looked. This isn't your typical romance drama. The romance will be there but just the right amount again to keep the intensity of the story even better than the previous seasons

True she chose love after having taken her time and after the male lead had proven she's the only one for him unlike most series where characters have just met and they fall in love without any reason whatsoever. That's very cliché and cringy but here their love story developed healthily and with a reason. I doubt season 2 will have more romance either because our characters there will have more character development and more challenges a head. This drama isn't a historical romance melodrama like moon embracing the sun.

Try love and redemption. For me it's better than Ashes of Love
