In a later scene between GSJ and his brother he does mention Elder Xue agreed to help his investigation so they did end up talking at some point just wasnt shown on screen.

Also it seems like once you complete the three trials you seem to get more access to the back of the mountain (ie GSJ knows about the secret fire stuff etc)

the truth serum, in the flashbacks the raven kept saying to yws you need to kill yourself before it takes effect. She even tried to get to the knife but was held by GZY and wasnt able to (although he just thought she was getting dizzy from the med )

another poster here mentioned a tik tok showing huanyi was saved by lady wuji, if that is actually true seems gong have a plan of their own vs wufeng. also with all these wufeng spies getting caught by gong over the years they must know a good amount about wufeng as well?

I thought there was a flashback seen where yun que's body is covered by a white sheet that raven and yws were crying over? Seems she is dead. but then again apparently huanyi is a live and we saw him in a casket.

Yeah this has been bought up so many times by characters in the last few episodes seems to be building up to either him or another "dead" character returning to the scene

I dont think lady wuji was the killer either. In the wuming trailer it looks like its a guy that stabbed the elder xue.

I think for both SGQ and YWS they are telling a distorted version of the "truth" seems very likely wufeng took the children of the sects they destroyed/took over and made them into assassins. So the background stories they have given to gong are mostly true.

Now that YQS knows the poison doesnt do anything bad though wonder if she will let SGQ know as well, doesnt seem like they would have reason to truly stay loyal to wufeng now. I wonder if the Raven himself even knows about the poison, seems like hes just middle management.

Man I get the bad feeling the little sister didnt actually get killed by Gong but suicided after getting into a situation like YWS did today and had to take the truth serum, there was so many flashbacks of YWS repeating the ravens words to kill yourself right away if you end up drinking it before it takes effect, and we even saw YWS try to grab the knife in todays episode

Wonder if YWS will share that the "poison" isnt actually poison with SGQ. Seems like this would have a huge impact on how they would act/loyalty going foward with wufeng?

I wonder if the Ravens themselves even know about the how medicine actually works?

Yeah the talk about that herb/medicine that can revive the dead into days episodes seems to be hinting that someone (huan yi) that seems to be dead isnt actually dead

One of the things GSJ mentioned to his brother if lady wuji isnt wuming that means whoever is martial arts is higher level than any in the gong family since he couldnt even detect that person. Looking at one of the newer trailers seems a guy with a round bladed hat that hasn't been introduced yet seriously wounds/kills GSJ in battle and its also a male character that stabs the original elder xue. I wonder if lady wuji was actually following the "real" wuming (doesnt seem like she really has any reason to go to GZY room) and got noticed. No idea what SGQ was doing following her though/in the same room.

For the blood part I think SGQ has an easy excuse of when the bowl shattered earlier in the episode she got "cut" as well. in the trailer where it shows GSJ feeding her medicine she has a cut on her neck

AOS team was at the meeting as well!

In one of the interviews he mentioned he lost 5kgs filming part 2. which is quite a lot since he was already very lean to begin with.

Feel like 2 extra episodes would have helped the pacing, but guessing the budget to film this with the CGI etc wasn't cheap so had constraints to meet, plus generally its very unusual to get 30 episodes approved from the get go so they already got a lot of leeway compared to the standard kdrama

That would have been cool to have OG naksu back but it was hinted part 1 and and heavily emphasized in part 2 she was never going to get her mage powers back. Her current body is frail and most importantly JBY/JSR was using up/used up at the end all her mage energy to heal. Plus it wouldnt have fit with the story line, there wasn't any reason for the old killer naksu to come back after she rejected the ice stone in p1 and moreso in part 2

I dont even think she could really learn fast anymore either, all her mage energy got used up by JSR, and as in part one her current body is extremely weak physically.

yeah thats what i thought too until the soulshift. Man can act.

that would be nice. lol i really wish they had shown a seen of cho yeong picking a wife for the CP like she did the turtle. Unfortunately it doesnt seem likely jaewook already has a project lined up as do many of the actors that had screen time. Guessing GYJ probably is going to get a lot of a new offers as well and will have to do promotion stuff for series "moving" when it gets released later this year.

it is in "very good" range for a cable network but not in the "great" range. That said this show is much more "successful" globally on netflix comparatively in the top 10 shows during its run in many countries.
