Yes, finally she is closer to her true self. <33

Truly, I feel better now that I let it out.

I actually hated this scenario in part1 as well. Park Jin frustrated me more than Jin Mu throughout the series. His way of protecting Uk was so hurtful. That until Jin Mu took out the zombie bell as last minute twist. I started hating him more.

There is a good reason why we kept it in for so long. I finally found the words to express it. I wanted to include all in one comment.

That would partially explain why real BY trapped Cho Yeong's soul in her body. It should have been Cho Yeong all along. Otherwise there would not be possible to draw a parallen between Sol-Ran and Cho Yeong. :)))

This is why it is hard for me to re-watch 1st season. I tried, ended up stuck at ep. 9. That look in her eyes angers me.
I'm so relieved I'm not the only one who had the same impression.

I hope not. She should add the new feelings she developed during this time of her being amnesiac to the pool. And I hope she will be able to forgive herself for stabbing Uk, at the end of the day, it wasn't truly her who stabbed him.
We really don't have time for a break-up/make-up. But we have time for a Uk+Naksu taking revenge on Jin Mu. :))

That would be even better <3

It definitely feels that way.

I have to take this off my chest. If you find this comment uncomfortable, please ignore.

During watching s1, I wasn't into the romance part of the show. Re: lead's romance, I found it uncomfortable, especially from MD side. Uk falling in love signs were obvious. But it looked unrequited. The lines which should have been delivered with love were delivered with disgust (from MD side).
MD always had the look of arrogance/disgust/despise in her eyes. This look was on point considering how much hate she kept in because of her unfortunate life. But she would still have the same look even after she acknowledged for herself that she is in love with Uk. So I couldn't care less about all the scenes regarding them planning their wedding and professing their love to each other.
Moreover, it bugged me that she never was called by her true name throughout the whole series. Not even when Uk and she were alone, in private. She was always called Mu-deoka.
Another thing that bugged me is that she could never be her true-self. Going into a marriage with a stranger's name, body and face. Not being called by your name, not being known as your true-self in the most important relationship there is in life. For me it would be unbearable.
So I was very pleased and happy when they gave her her original face back. Moreover, I'm very pleased by the chemistry they have as their true selves. And eagerly wait for the moment that Uk will call her by her true name - "Cho Yeonga, saranghae!"

I hope they all wed, but I don't need any to be shown. It'll just take too much screen time for smth that will not solve anything.

I hope so too. I'm not that into the theory that the oblivious King will order Mama Jin to heal Yul.
BuYeon healing him would make much more sense. What are friends for? To be there when you need them, right? :)
Also that moment would remind her how she took care of his injured leg when they were young.

The Queen. I'm skipping her scenes when I re-watch. Can't take her bullshit. She's right, she's ugly, but on the inside. Her problem won't be solved by switching to a "younger-prettier" body. She needs psychotherapy.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He's finally willing to accept her for who she is, the way she asked him to. 🥰
And willing to accept her kind of help. 🥰
The "I'm not sure what I want from you anymore" made me so happy. Means he's no longer as keen to dispose of the ice stone with the intention of dying. 🥰
That was a genuine hug. 🥰
I loved it. 🥰

Yep. First she turned off the lamp with no memories preceding this event. Earlier that night, Uk touched her hand and cut off the tracking thread/bracelet.
Then she turned it off again at the Unanimous Assembly by touching Uk's hand which was holding the lamp. Again no memories surged before this event. My guess at that moment was she was unconsciously using Uk's energy to do it.
Then she turned it ON after touching the sword (which we know also has energy) and had memory flashes afterwards.

I don't think it's a separate ability, it's just she doesn't know how to do it, and she seemed to not have much energy to do it either.

She needs to recharge her batteries.

Since we don't know what happened to BY's energy and Naksu's was used to heal the body. Unless the info regarding recharging is wrong, then she will always need to use others energy to manifest her powers. And Uk possessing the ice stone is a potential "endless" charger.

I'm as confused as you are. It's like they meant that since BY's soul is no longer there, we should not worry about BY energy anymore. But is it the same thing? It's not. Maybe BY spent all her energy back when she summoned the ice stone, when she was little. But there's also that bit that energy can be regained in time. Like I don't know anymore. I think they don't know either. It's just a tangled mess at this point.
They spent 26 episodes solving almost nothing, just throwing new intricate ideas and judging by how 1st season ended, I think this one will end in same fashion. Meaning we will find out in last few minutes, I just don't know what we will find out, since there's too much to find out.

I think we did talk, it got buried :)))

True. It was also M. Lee who said that BY has no more energy nor memories. Since her energy was used to heal the body. So she has no energy for flashy moves (yet). Everythig we saw, are her as you say innate abilities.
What I meant to convey is we don't know much about the original BY powers either.

I'm still in the state of waking up. I'm sorry if I don't make much sense.
Just know, I agree with everything you said so far.

Honestly, they talk about her divine powers, but they aren't showing us any. It's same old info - sensing/seeing energy. How it works and how she's keeping wraiths away, we really don't know.
