Call me petty but HYO's maid as a new mage with good character 🤮...other than that the ending was fine.

Hahaha, I second this!

Is romance the only link for JYJ to be on her side? Frankly, the answer is no. It would have been better if they kept hints but as he said he was grateful she came at a difficult time in his life. The last episode they at least showed us his demons. I find she has more chemistry with HDY. I liked how they showed his fixation and how she was playing him

Omg, he did not get much 🤣. The good stuff were indeed on page 17

What is everyone's plans for the finale? Watch 9&10 back to back or continue to watch as they air?

I don't think so. Reincarnation will not really be in line with alchemy of souls. The show itself has been showing us that the souls are meant to be kept alive by shifting bodies. Reincarnation will make the show into a joke

JU on the other hand was allowed character development. We must remember JU is more grey. While Yul is 'white'. He chose Naksu as his master for selfish reasons even if it meant making a deal with a soul shifter. He has learned not to act harshly to protect the people around him. But not enough to be king. Hence it my be in his stars but he will not make a good politician. Push comes to shove he will choose his loved ones. The CP on the other hand is willing to sacrifice 'some' people for power and state. Which makes him a better politician.

Seo Yul basically showed us why he would never get the girl. Frankly I am not sure why people are so angry with him. In S1 when he found out she was Naksu, he kept her secret and removed himself but she ended up killing JU. Hence he carried that guilt. It was already on his mind because he voiced had he told them about Naksu in their teens she would not have been an Assassin. Hence in S2 he found out she was Naksu and planned to do what he thought was right. However due to the blood worm he failed. If anything he went to Jin Mama to give them more time. He kept the secret to spare JU the pain if she dies quietly as discussed with Master Lee. Seo Yul is consistent with his character. He thinks he is doing things for the greater good but his vision is not as vast as he thinks

I liked the low bun 🤫

They are after the entire cult. The very same that have been shifting bodies. Like Jin Mu said: Jang Uk so readily agreed to go to the North. Since when has Jang Uk been so obedient. Rather CP and JU are working together. Jang Uk also told BY he will be back earlier that expected

No, please no. Quit while they are ahead.

Not quite. The CP is already on UK's side. If anything he is not just after Jin Mu but their entire cult. Notice how they practically fast forward his scenes with Jin Mu. One thing i am certain of is CP will be king

I laughed like crazy at the end of episode 8, not because i was happy but i was mocking myself and the writers. That is exactly how i thought this episode would end. Uk seeing the soul shifter mark in her eyes. At this point happy it is ending. Bring it on. Whatever disappointment i have, i always remember to be grateful the drama exists. That is better than it never existing. Will keep chanting this in my head during the finale. So thank you to the writers, actors and production team.

Poor writing. Many got angry he did not do anything in S2, but really it was the same for S1. He became a plot convenience to fix and narrate things

Hahaha 🤣 In my head I kept thinking today's detour is Saving Yul

Because they once again dangled that carrot of Naksu regaining her memories that did not happen...

I wanted to know why JBY chose Naksu before, i don't really like where this is headed now

I listened again. It was Yul's voice 😞

Am I imagining it? Or was it Jang UK's voice in the preview talking about Naksu?

Also someone mentioned below if JBY's soul still exists, there must be a reason. I think Naksu at least will survive at the end of the show.

Like a cat has 9 lives. She has two souls.

Whatever will happen in the end. If they have to perform that rain ritual I think JBY will die and Naksu will live.

It is Uk I am concerned about at the moment

Yes, this. Naksu's soul with have silently perished. But thanks to Heo Yun-ok she may have saved Naksu. Hahaha. My blood was boiling in all her scenes today.
