estar to me the really bad guy is Park Jin, i really dislike this f*cker - it's like he sufferers from a split-personality. with Kim Do Ju he is a totally different person, then who is with Jang Uk & as i have pointed out, that he keeps telling Kim Do Ju that he is ready to hurt anyone, when push comes to shove. but as she has never seen him, when he is alone with Jang Uk, she can't really understand what he is talking about or that, that he can be that ruthless. so i am starting to really dislike when he acts all cutesy with her, as if he's an innocent lamb that can't hurt a fly. i NEED her to see his true face! *************************************cause as i knew - the only reason he accepted Jang Uk as a disciple wasn't to teach him, but to leash him - so he couldn't run free & grow to full potential. the fact he is also hoping Jang Uk's father comes back to break him/rein him in is even more infuriating. cause Jang Uk is thinking he has finally received the approval & will be receiving the training that will help him achieve his goals. poor trusting soul. *********************************************************************************************************************************************this was a really fun ep & i laughed a lot. but sadly there a lot of character's here in for heartache - especially the mains. i also pity the crown prince that is gonna be manipulated by the queen & the rat. he's a good guy that is gonna get poisoned cause of their scheming ...********************************************************************************************************************************************also i really wish Seo Yul (the goody two shoes) hadn't intervened & saved So Yi. sorry not sorry i can't stand her & i wish she disappeared as she appeared. the fact she now gonna get used to manipulate the Jin matriarch is neither here nor there. i just don't like her.

this is really good, but have to say i am getting frustrated at the amount of new character's being introduced. we halfway through, but almost every ep we got a new addition & a new plot twist. ***********************************************************what, it wasn't enough we got Jin Cho Yeon after Jang Uk, now we adding Heo Yoon Ok?? on the other hand Mu Deok's got Seo Yul & the crown prince circling. these harm plots r tiresome IMO they also unfair, as they the ones that r left with their hearts broken.**********************************************************************************************************************************************so Mu Deok is Jin Bu Yeon & Naksu is Cho Yeong, but now that Naksu transferred her soul into Mu Deok where did her soul go to?!? cause if she died, she wouldn't have been able to save Jang Uk, when Kil Joo was trying to transfer his soul into his body. or cause she didn't have a body to enter (as Naksu died) is her soul just "hanging around" in that empty void & that is how she was able to help Jang Uk?!?*******************************************************************************************************************************************also have a bad feeling Park Jin has no plans of actually teaching Jang Uk anything to grow his power, his accepting him as a disciple is basically a way to putting a leash on him & not letting him train on his own, learn more & getting stronger. seriously don't like this dude. ironic that he is making his being despicable very clear to Kim Do Ju, just she doesn't know about his treatment of Jang Uk so she doesn't know what he really means & ow much damage he has done & want to do..sadly i worry that his stupidity will push Jang Uk into the arms of the rat & his queen.

i knew the queen was suspect, but i was thinking she was another one of the soul swaps (?) that the rat loves to preform - guess she the big boss (also wondering whose soul is inhabiting the queen). but i didn't get why she hates the mages. as it looks like she is planning on destroying them - but to what end. oh, & why she wanted the rat to offer Jang Uk a place in palace - she want his soul or to use the power unleashed??? ********************************************************************************************************************************************& am happy Seo Yul saved Mu Deok, but is his hand ok?!? ******************************************************************************************************************************************also why did Park Jin have a change of heart & invite Jang Uk to be his disciple?!? he could've let Jang Uk choose between Heo Yeom & Jin Ho Kyung, they both on the same side as him. & after how he brutally kept destroying Jang Uk'a self-esteem, just cause he didn't want him to develop his power & get noticed by the King. i find his offer hypocritical. btw wonder why Mu Deok told Jang Uk to choose Park Jin.

OMG i wish Mu Deok had more of a plan, also as a freakin assassin shouldn't she know better then to congratulate someone before making sure the job is done?!? considering the rats henchman is also a mage, one she herself knew she (in her current state & Jang Uk in his) couldn't defeat easily, without the help of rain. why stop to pat him on the back after just one successful hit, OMO this frustrating. ************************************************************************************************************now i just hope Master Lee pop's up to save Jang Uk's ass. other wise he will be transported into Kil Joo's body & as Jang Uk isn't as powerful as the henchman, he wouldn't know how to use the powers in the new body, while someone with more experience would be faster at assimilating...*****************************************************************************************************************************************knew there was a reason i didn't like Jin Cho Yeon, as the plot developed at the start of this ep, it got worse & worse - like to what depths was she willing to go through just to keep Jang Uk & Mu Deok apart. & after she confessed her punishment wasn't enough IMO. *************************************************************************************************************************in that scene i loved how the guys worked together, pity the crown prince is gonna get turned into a bad guy, cause of the rat's poisoning. also why the rat come to his half sister with the offer for her daughter to marry the crown prince & did he know that Naksu is Jin Bu Yeon?!? **************************************************************************************************************btw if Jin Bu Yeon is Naksu, why was another man raising her?!? & on a side note i still think the rat is the one that turned her father into a "demon".

so much happening, still kinda shocked that everyone was planning Jang Uk's wedding without even thinking about informing him. thank f*ck for Master Lee. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************after that ending i am starting to wonder is Mu Deok isn't the lost eldest daughter of the Jin clan. would ask what that mirror is & where it dragged Mu Deok too - but i guess we will find out in the next ep. maybe that is why her body is special & why Naksu entering her body didn't cause the usual side effects. *******************************************************************************************************************************************also the rat's henchman who's after Naksu, does he want to make sure & get rid of her cause he lied to his master - am guessing.*******************************************************************************************************************************************also Park Dang Gu is a sweetheart but he got bad tastes in women. Jin Cho Yeon is a spoilt brat & a headache not worth having IMO. & wonder why the crown prince was invited cause Mu Deok supposedly stole something from the Jin clan & disappeared. why he involved?

so was wrong & that rat Jin Mu didn't kill Naksu's father, cause he was thrown out of his clan. but considering that maid telling the child to run away from her father, was he a possessed spirit?!? & as he didn't turn to stone when he was killed. doubt all 4 of (the whatever u call it) group killed him just cause he knew about Jang Uk's birth star. so what am i missing. but still am 90% sure the rat has something to do with it.*************************************************************************************************************************************************also find if kinda ironic that Jang Uk been begging & pleading for anyone to take him as a disciple, here a few hrs into their meeting Master Lee is ready to accept him. sadly Jang Uk's self worth has taken such a beating he is weary of trying & failing or getting rejected & hurt so he is running away.***********************************************************************************************************************************************btw i get Jin Cho Yeon is in-love with Jang Uk, but after getting rejected by him why she still wanting to arrange something without even conversing with him once?!? what he doesn't get a say in who he marries, just cause that will prevent the "fight" with the crown prince? she is doing too much & she will get hurt & then blame Jang Uk - when she is the only one to blame. her stupidity is also putting her mother in a situation, she doesn't want to be in.

she is always putting him in danger lol but this time she was a needed distraction. i really don't get why Jang Uk keeping going back to Park Jin, asking to be his pupil. after getting rejected since he was a teen, hasn't he had enough & he got Mu Deok as a master. learn from her grow strong & then come demand to be a part of that place. **********************************************Park Jin just keeps finding ways, throwing obstacles in Jang Uk path, not wanting him to use the power that has been unleash to become stronger & be noticed as an intender for the throne. i get that but his ways r always so soul crushing idk how Jang Uk walks around with a smile.*********************************************************************************************************************************************btw who is Teacher Lee is he good or bad? & why he steal the "smoke dog " detector of possessed bodies?!?********************************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really find Kim Do Ju & Park Jin bickering sweet & funny, but this time around after how Park Jin "destroyed" Jang Uk's hopes & dreams i didn't want any cute fluffy scenes

what is that rat Jin Mu up too. i get he wants Jang Gang position. but why he hell bent on creating sh*t between Jang Uk& the crown prince?!? ********************************************************************************************************************also now have a feeling Naksu's family was murdered cause of the rat, maybe she was of the Jin family that tossed him out. & he found a way to poison the minds of Jang Gang & the rest of the people Naksu saw murdering her whole family. like he is doing with the crown prince.*******************************************************************************************************************************************btw Jang Uk getting his ass in hot water cause of Mu Deok quite a few times. but Park Jin didn't need to be this brutal towards him. i get why his father locked up his powers. but everything they r making Jang Uk fight harder for all the things the adults r trying to keep him from having. they basically pushing him into the mouth of the lion - ironic

Mu Deok & Jang Uk's back & forth is so funny, really like their chemistry. also enjoy the interactions between Jang Uk & Park Dang Gu, Mu Deok & Joo Wol. wish there was more of all of them.************************************************************************************************************************************************but regarding the back story. did Jang Gang go back to his body after the 7 days, Go Sung requested?!? i guess being the mage he would find a way to oust Go Sung's soul from his body. i assumes the king spitting blood, when realizing what he was doing with his body, meant he lost his life at that moment - i.e Jang Gang's soul that was residing in that sick body, ascended. but guess it didn't & cause the king was in his body when he bedded Jang Gang's wife, he is Jang Uk's father?!? backward logic if u ask me, but i guess that's what a cucked husband would feel - even though it was his body.

well i get the hype. this was good & interesting. but am wondering why Jang Gang was so stupid as to agree, to the sick kings wishes. logically even if what he said was true - he would be in Jang Gang's body, so any offspring he sired would biologically be Jang Gang's - no?!? *****************************************************************************************************************the fact the king was trying to dupe Jang Gang by not only stealing his body but "using" his wife was a bad joke. but why did he then "lock" his sons powers? he was worried that Jang Uk would find out & to seek revenge he would destroy Go Sung's soul that is still housed in his fathers body?!? *******************************************************************************************************************************************also how/why were Naksu & Seo Yul close, when he is connected to the people that murdered her father, making her chose a life as an assassin. (btw when did she chose that life, as she saw her father getting murdered when she was a child. & she was hanging with Seo Yul when she was a teen?!?). ******************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Jung So Min is a good actress but she i really good as a comedic actress. it was fun & funny watching & Lee Jae Wook interact.

ok this was great but that ending was whack.. at least give me some info about how this turned out (or maybe it was given at the start) or was this left open for a 2nd season?!? or as this starts of with her winning a battle - doesn't necessarily mean she wins the war - no?!? or is this assuming whoever is watching knows the history of Korea so they know how it turns out - so whack ending.*******************************************************************************************************************************************but other then that this was really fun, great acting well thought out plot &i for one enjoyed ever min of this. for sure a rewatch

genuinely don't get how people didn't like this, i am immensely enjoying watching this unfold, yes not all if perfect but show me a drama that is. the acting is good (by all) the plot is well thought-out. idk what everyone's problem with this was but i am the odd one out - so nothing new there lol************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: Jeon Jong Seo's walk kills me, it's more fitting for a man then a woman (& i know there isn't a woman's or mans walk per-say) but if u watch her walking in some scenes, it is so glaring. maybe she over does it cause she is trying to convey strength or machismo idk. but it doesn't fit when she is dressed regally.*******************************************************************************************************************************************watching this i really pity Woo Hui & Go Nam Mu, when they were on the frozen border they were in the garden of Eden. they were free to love & be happy, surrounded by people they could trust. the sec Go Nam Mu got the throne, both he & his wife were surrounded by people trying to destroy them individually & come between them as pair. they couldn't even trust family. tough life to lead this way.

well at least now i get why Eul Pa So suggested Go Bal Gi & not one of the other brothers. also why he contacted Yeon Bi from the Jolbon clan & why she was ready to help the Queen. ********************************************************************************there was a sec where i wondered if Queen was Eul Pa So's childhood crush & he was helping her cause of love, but revenge trumps all i guess************************************************************************************************************************************************but that sister OMG when will she be put of her misery?!? Queen Woo knows & yet she is quietly letting her get away with sh*t - why oh why?!? will she do something about her, only when she knows what she did to, or with her late husband?!? will that anger her enough to put an end to that woman?!? *********************************************************************************************************************************************also the cry-baby prince is a perv, but i guess Queen knew about his lusting after her. just don't get how she can marry him (like he is easy to handle so i get what she is thinking) but when he already got a wife. even if he marries his new wife will be his 2nd wife, so if he takes the throne his 1st wife would take the rightful place beside him not Queen Woo, no?!? what did i miss...

big "...the hunt begins now.." who told u to go after her?!? but i only felt sorry for the horses, OMG but it looks like the poor creatures was abused in this drama. i hope none of them were maimed.*******************************************************************************************************************************************also it took ages until Queen Woo decided to haul ass, how many people of hers needed to die until she would decide it was time to get involved?!? & i wouldn't be wondering this if it was any other female (u know, not one that has been shown to us as a very active teen & woman that wanted to lead an army) so she took her sweet time & i for one was frustrated. but at least she finally noticed that her "sister" was acting suspicious. if she only knew - ***********************************************************OMG seeing the scene where her father & his older brother sent her sister to bed the king, cause she had yet to produce an heir - like talk slap in the face. especially given how she is putting her clan before herself as she could've ran away & gone into hiding (as she told Eul Pa So at the start). pity her "family" can't give a sh*t about her.

as if this wasn't good as is, the OST makes it epic IMO. **********************************************************************************************************************************************am wondering why Eul Pa So thought 1st of Go Bal Gi instead of one of the younger (more normal) brothers. dude crazy & even Eul Pa So knew this fact; telling Queen Woo that maybe dying would be less painful, then marring that psycho. cause seeing Go Gye Su & his feelings of loyalty towards his 2nd brother - let alone his similar personality, wouldn't he have been a preferable choice?!? heck even the cry-baby Go Yeon U is better then the 3rd prince. ********************************************************************************************************************************************either way there isn't a boring moment, also was wondering if Eul Pa So decide to betray Queen Woo by contacting Yeon Bi (Jolbon clan|) who i have yet to figure outm why she got rid of Myeongnim Eo Ru the lord of the North District (not that i am complaining, he among the ones i need gone, Woo Sun still staring at the top of that list - sadly she still around) helping Queen Woo. ********************************************************************************************************************************************btw idk why Queen Woo doesn't notice something is really wrong with her sister & she was having a conversation with herself outside Queen Woo's window (i get it's on a moving carriage) but still, she acting really weird - frustrating no one is catching on. wonder how much more damage she gonna create, before she is stopped ugh
