So from the preview seems Jang Uk probably lost. Would've been very weird if he won.
I think Uk wins. CP throws away the blue egg to the pool. I think he loses his bet and has to return the egg to Mudeok, but he is unhappy so he doesn't hand it over nicely. I have said a few times, this is K-drama. No matter how weird it is, ML always gets the FL. Only very very few K-dramas the ML loses to second lead. So let's just enjoy the story with open mind. I am happy no matter who wins. They all have good intentions for the FL.
I got a feeling, that scene is like they're finding the whereabouts of Naksu (the og).
I think so. I read the article here saying: "In particular, actors Lee Jae Wook, Hwang Minhyun, Yoo In Soo, Shin Seung Ho and more will reprise their roles except Jung So Min."
It is K-Drama. Yul won't get FL. Last time the noisiest K-Drama with second lead syndrome was Start Up. Jee Pyeong (second lead) team vs (main lead) Nam Do San team. Do San won.
just saw on twitter that thereโs new article about the mystery of mudeok/buyeon aka the survivor of naksuโs…
I just saw a youtube video the ahjeossi who sold blind Mudeok to the brothel, is standing in the same room with Park Jin when Park Jin told Mudeok her secret is revealed.
because she is protected by Bu yeon. She was born because of the ice stone so probably she has some ice stone…
Buyeon is a smart soul. She only takes over control when necessary. When Yul healed Mudeok from the wound caused by Gil Ju, I was thinking whether she would show up and fight Yul's energy, but nothing happened. So she just stayed quiet in the body. ๐
New AOS official poster dropped. I see the king star and ice aura โจ๐๐https://twitter.com/cjndrama/status/1551734121856405504?s=21&t=7TvFcsV-Sx5wZ7j6yNWcEQ
I believe their opinions are driven by their objectives. If seo yul and park Jin starts seeing grey in people…
I agree. It is about perspectives. It is like at the first episode when a mother requested Jang Gang not to kill her son who was a soul shifter and ran wild. The mother loved her son. She was about to die sucked by her son. Jang Gang killed the son. Who is the bad guy? In the case of Naksu, we know she is protected by Buyeon. She will not run wild and will not hurt innocent people, but "if" she would, should other people die to feed her energy from time to time? Let's not think about it too much and just enjoy the story. I like to think it is protagonists vs antagonists story, instead of protagonists vs protagonists. Once again, peace.
They are different types of people. I love both Uk and Yul. In the case of Naksu, yes, Uk deserves Naksu's love…
I think Yul is aware something is different with Naksu's soul shifting, but he does not know what caused the difference and for how long Naksu can stay in Mudeok's body without running wild. I don't know how long it takes for a soul shifter to last without feeding other's energy, but it seems like if its energy is imbalance like when it gets wounds, or it gets extra energy from the outside, it would get triggered to run wild.
The latest episodes and the preview for the next ep shows how Yul and Jang Uk are different. Both are good people…
They are different types of people. I love both Uk and Yul. In the case of Naksu, yes, Uk deserves Naksu's love more because he will do anything to protect her and does not have any doubt to break any rules for her. He just follows his heart. Yul is an obedient type. He thinks a lot before doing something. When Naksu told Yul not to see her again when they were teenagers, he stopped seeing her. Now when Yul knows Naksu as a soul shifter could run wild and could harm people, he thinks a lot how to overcome the problem. At the first episode of AoS, we saw a mother who requested Jang Gang not to kill her son who was a soul shifter and ran wild, it took a while before Jang Gang killed the son. Was Jang Gang doing something wrong there? No. Now we know that Naksu is protected by Buyeon and Naksu would not harm innocent people, but Yul does not know about it. So he is not really wrong to worry about Naksu. I am sure he is not worry about himself because he is a good fighter, but he is sad for Naksu, the girl he loves so much. He worries Naksu might hurt herself and other people when she runs wild, He thinks hard how to avoid it from happening. By doing so, I agree Yul does not deserve Naksu's love. Btw, as I said, I love all the characters in AoS. I enjoy seeing Uk and Naksu together. They love each other. I love Yul too. I just hope Hong sisters do not make Yul look so bad in the next episodes.
I love all the characters in AOS, but the one I pity the most at this moment is Yul. It is normal in K-Dramas for many men to love the FL. It creates rivalry for the ML to prove he is the best for the FL. But I think it is enough. Everyone knows Uk is the clear winner. Yul is not going to get Naksu no matter what he does, no matter how much he blames himself, no matter what he is going to do to prove his love, because Naksu only loves Uk. Yul himself knows it. So Hong sisters, pls move on with Yul getting another woman that he deserves. He can still love Naksu but as a friend or without expecting her to love him back. I think he is like Park Jin who loved Do-Hwa, but so late to move on to realize there is Kim Do-Ju worths his love. ๐
