Okay so apparently, my theory is wrong again. So does that mean Mu Deok does not have the Ice Stone inside her…
What if … as someone in the forums mentioned, the ice stone was split in two? The bigger ice stone was infused in the Mu Deok body?
This would explain why when Nak Su used AOS, her soul was absorbed into Mu Deok's body.
Secondly, it would also explain why the "blind girl" was able to counter the soul ejector stone -- she's more powerful than that.
It would mean that the bigger part of the ice stone was infused into the body of Mu Deok and maybe it gained consciousness when it fused with the soul of Mu Deok.
OR, we can combine it with my theory that the Jin's eldest daughter's soul was split in two.
Since the magic of the Jin's is about keeping dangerous artifacts and relics locked up, maybe the eldest Jin daughter was very powerful. Someone kidnapped her and split her soul in two.
1st Soul was transferred to the body of Mu Deok together with the larger piece of the ice stone. With the Jin power, it sealed the ice stone within thus preventing any mage from detecting it. The original soul of Mu Deok is gone since it was replaced.
The 2nd half of the soul remained in the original body -- which is the Nak Su body. Possibly, Nak Su's father was already different this is why they were able to "hide" the identity of Nak Su.
But something happened, Nak Su's father failed to absorb a new person which led to him losing control and killing them all.
If someone else's soul was transferred to Nak Su's body, her father would have known since there will be a blue mark. And Jin Woo would also know since the child needs to be bathed and all, someone will definitely see.
So … it's possible the Nak Su body was the original body of the Jin's eldest daughter, which would explain why Nak Su is so powerful. What no one knew was her real identity and how her soul was split in two.
Since the two souls are now in one body, a body that is not theirs, and the other half of the soul was infused with the bigger piece of the ice stone, and her blue in her two eyes are dissipating … possibly Nak Su's half-soul and her other half-soul are finally becoming whole again.
This would mean once her soul becomes whole, she would also become the avatar of the ice stone since the ice stone was fused into her other half soul (the one that over took the Mu Deok body).
Because one thing is for sure, the artifacts and relics know who the "blind girl" is … the "ice stone". It means that the they sense the ice stone in her, as well as, they've seen the "blind girl" before. Maybe, just maybe, the soul splitting and ice stone fusing happened inside that vault … which would mean someone very powerful did it.
What doesn't align is, how can the founder of Songrim have done it. The show is implying that he hid the ice stone before Uk, Nak Su, Mu Deok, and the Jin's eldest daughter, were born.
Master Lee doesn't seem to know any better either.
If the founder of Songrim did it before they were all born, then it means: 1. Mu Deok is not the Jin's eldest daughter.
2. Mu Deok may not even be a real person but an avatar of the ice stone.
3. If Mu Deok was indeed a real person, then it would mean she is very old because she should have existed at the time the founder of Songrim hid the ice stone.
4. Whichever it is (#2 or #3), we go back to possibility that Nak Su is the Jin's eldest daughter and she was hidden as someone else's daughter. The question is WHY?
Does it seem realistic that there will be actual romance between the 2 leads? They are both really cute though…
Yes. We autistics do fall in love and had/have relationships. ^_^
This is the part I am waiting for in EAW. It is not about them falling in love that I am waiting, it is about how they are going portray on screen how autistics processes romance and how a relationship works if one is autistic.
Romantic relationship is the least talked about aspect of autism. The misconception is that we can not fall in love or we can not maintain a relationship. In some parts of the world, there are even people saying that we should not be allowed to get married or have a child -- because we are only going to spread our autistic genes and create more autistic people. In other words, we are a disease and must be deleted from the gene pool.
Truth is, we do fall in love and can get married and have our own family. There are a lot of autistic couples even--both are autistics--and they have NT children, a mix, or all are autistics.
It is possible. It is not unheard of. It is just the least talked about outside of the autistic community.
I have full trust on EAW that they will handle this properly too, 4 episodes in and they're doing great. It is about time that the world knows we autistics can feel emotions and have our own family.
That are a lot of subway sandwiches and Samsung flip phones tho 🤣
Yeah. Though it's interesting Samsung keeps pushing for the flip phones. So maybe even in Korea flip phones are not popular. At least Internationally, there isn't much trust about the quality of flip phones. Hahahaha, and it's too expensive.
Though there is one model I like which I've seen only in one show, I can't remember which, but the model folds vertically. Unfolded, it's a tablet, folded, looks like an ordinary phone (though too thick, like the old Nokia and Motorola phones =)) )
WHAT A CLIFFHANGER… I am stunned I stared at my screen for idk how long.Okay so we got some answers already…
>> Naksu’s dad was soul shift and run wild the day Naksu had witness his “father” ‘s death. (Where is Naksu’s dad soul? we don’t know yet)
The soul of Nak Su's dad is gone, dead. As per episode 7, a body can only take 1 soul. It has to eject the original soul before another can take it over. Whoever gets ejected can either transfer to another body or just die.
>> Jang Gang possibly responsible to shifting Cho Chung (Naksu’s father) soul.
Not according to episode 7. Jin Moo admitted he was the one who shifted another soul into Nak Su's father.
So I’m thinking that the girl she got the body from was from the Jin family ? The older sister? Since she was…
I doubt the body that is "Mu Deok" is the body of the Jin's eldest daughter. As a mother, even without magic, she should have made a connection. In real life, no matter what culture, mother's always have that connection with their children and they can feel it. And since the Jin mother is powerful herself, the more reason she should've known.
I still think the body that is "Mu Deok" is not the original body. It is still highly possible that the Jin's eldest was shifted to the "Mu Deok" body.
My new take on this, her soul was probably used to infuse the ice stone into the blind Mu Deok body. Her power was probably very strong to keep the ice stone "hidden". After all, the Jin clan are the ones keeping the relics and cursed objects, their magic is primarily on keeping these powerful items at bay.
It would make sense then that the daughter's soul was used to seal the ice stone's immense energy and shifted her soul and the ice stone into a blind body so no one would be the wiser. Who would think a blind person is holding a powerful soul and the most powerful object in history?
If the ice stone was simply shifted into the blind Mu Deok without removing the original Mu Deok, the body won't be able to take it. It also needs a very powerful soul.
And when Nak Su used alchemy of soul, since she was in the proximity of the ice stone, the very source of the alchemy, it absorbed her soul. Hence 2 blue eyes = 2 shifted souls.
They are still alive not because of the Jin daughter's power nor Nak Su's power, they are still alive because of the ice stone. They are not going crazy as any other soul shifters because of the ice stone.
Maybe, just maybe, the Jin soul is also protecting the ice stone and is probably trying to kick out the soul of Nak Su, which can also explain why Nak Su can not use her power -- their two souls are probably waging a war inside and Nak Su is not aware of it.
That ice stone was a huge surprise and it changed everything.
So: 1. The Mu Deok body is indeed blind; and the ice stone was placed in that body and merged with the soul that is Mu Deok.
2. When Nak Su performed the alchemy of soul, since she is in proximity with the power of the ice stone, it absorbed her soul instead.
3. Now there are two souls in the body of Mu Deok which should not be possible. The soul of Mu Deok with the embodied ice stone; and the soul of Nak Su who was very powerful on her own right.
4. The reason Nak Su was able to gain temporary power when she jumped to the Lake was because it was the original source of power from heaven filled with latent energies.
II. The biggest questions still remain: A. Who is the long lost daughter? B. Why is Nak Su naturally powerful?
Was the long lost daughter shifted into the body of Nak Su? If so, who did and why?
Or, was the long lost daughter shifted into the body of Mu Deok __together with__ the ice stone? And possibly, the power of the Jin's eldest daughter was enough to keep the ice stone at bay and undetectable?
III. It is also unclear how the present-Mu Deok opened the Jin vault. #1: Was it because the soul of the eldest Jin daughter is in that body (see theories above).
#2: Or, was it because of the ice stone hiding in the body that is Mu Deok?
They got him cornered there. If they can prove he's the mastermind, all three families will collapse. And Soo Jae may even acquire TK Firm.
I'd say, the plan that was setup 10 years ago is much better than what Soo Jae and Gong Chan are doing separately. The two doing things on their own is not making a dent; but the grand plan 10 years in the making guarantees the three families will be destroyed.

I thought I was the only one who noticed Samsung flip phones has become the standard in mobile phones in 2021-2022 k-dramas. ^_^
And of course, the never ending Subway ads haha.
