Your wildest theories about AoS(part 2)

Thank you so much for creating this forum! ♡ ´･ᴗ･ `♡

Jang Uk's father ?

-Biologically (Flesh, Blood, and Power) Jang Gang but in terms of Soul, it is definitely the Dead King. But I still believe both are Jang Uk’s parents. However, they’re both trash cans for leaving him to find out his identity alone and for not letting him decide for himself. Honestly,  them as his choice for a Father(s) will not end in any good way.  Jang Gang left his position to a  jerk named Jin Mu so if Jang Uk steals Jin Mu’s position, he’d just be a target of anger for the greedy people. And the King?He’s already dead too and the Royal Palace already have an Egoistic prince so they wont need Jang Uk anymore. ( ՞ਊ՞)

 Jang Uk’s best choice is to just live happily ever after with Mu Deok in Naksu’s hometown peacefully. Mu Deok can just torture Jang Uk to practice swprds everyday in their little mountain. (ಡ 艸ಡ)
Naksu might as well kill them all first to not bring more troubles too lol ( ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆)

Real Mu Deok's identity ?

- The supposedly dead Daughter of the Jin Family(Spring). (✿>ꇴ<) What if Mu Deok got kidnapped and lost her memory on top of losing her eyesight too?  Or what if the Jin Family abandoned her because she was born blind??! 

Mu Deok and Seo Yul's relationship ?

(☞ ͡ಥuಥ)☞ They’re the type of childhood soulmates who became VERY close  ‘cause of their hobby (swords and bird whistle). Oh and they also still CLEARLY(except seo yul with a memory loss) remember their days together despite the long distance relationship,lol. They did not have any more relationships after their break up since they still have lingering feelings for the other. ＾ዋ⋏ዋ＾

It’s them: (Seo Yul x Naksu)

To add, Naksu’s Father death: I commented this in the comment section but I’ll paste it here too:

After it was revealed in EP4 that Naksu’s father record constellations in the past, his death might have something to do with Jang Uk’s identity. He might have seen the King’s star the moment Jang Uk was born.
I think due to this, Naksu’s father was killed by the people who do not want the truth to be revealed (most probably The King and Jin Mu).
The 4 mages were probably ordered by the King unless Jang Gang wanted this to happen too to keep the secret so he let Naksu’s father die. ( っಠ ‿ಠ)っ
Thus, this may start a fight between Mu Deok and Jang Uk once they learn the truth.
Maybe Angst Incoming. ( •̩̩̩́ _ •̩̩̩̀)

PS: Although second lead sydrome is slowly growing in me, I still REALLY love Jang Uk x Mu Deok dynamic!: (⋆ ˆ3ˆ)♥(◕ε◕♡)

So sorry for the long reply. I hope you  had fun reading this. If not, I still hope you found my theories a bit interesting atleast. （　´ ∀｀）

Good theories!! I also want to share mine, though they're not solid hahaha

So true. I'm so afraid of a bittersweet ending

This is not much of a theory, it's some thoughts I just can't get it over my head. The eunuch that Jin Mu is protecting, must be someone important because Jin Mu has been feeding and keeping him close. He could be the king (Uk's half-father). If that's the case, what is his plan? Does Jin Mu know Uk is destined to be king? What are they trying to accomplish with an army of soul shifters??

If the eunuch is not the king, why is Jin Mu helping him? What are Jin Mu's plans? We know the guy is an illegitimate child so he couldn't be the Jin family's successor, which is probably the reason why he's so ambitious. Just how far does he want to go? 

So help me out guys haha

I don't think the reason Naksu's family died was to protect the secret around Uk's birth. Why kill the whole family if only her father knew about the star? It happened after Uk's birth, but Jang Kang was still around. Also, all the families were there to watch the execution so Kang must have made up a really good justification to murder an entire family. Did he lie to everyone there?

@confusedpenguin wild theories indeed! LOL

If our wild theory holds true, then ex King is in cahoots with Jin Mu though logically I would have thought that the path of least resistance is to curry favor with the ascending King rather than to complicate the situation by transferring a dying King's soul into another body since Jang Gang went into (apparent) self imposed MIA. But this is a drama we are talking about...

Not sure if Jang Gang is aware of Jin Mu/ ex King alliance.

Not sure if Jin Mu's right hand man is having a secret alliance with ex King behind Jin Mu.

Putting aside how nonsensical this whole soul switching (and impregnating others through it) business is, if I was the ex King, I think claim to the throne via Crown Prince's body is a path of least resistance rather than through Jang Uk. Perhaps they are testing out whose body is more robust to inhabit through the duel? Though wouldn't the more powerful one will be more resistant to any attempt to usurp his body?

Wonder how Teacher Lee figures into the whole scheme. (You know that mysterious powerful guy who can take others out simply by the flick of his hand and summoning Sapsali into a dog body). Though his character will be essential to help Jang Uk master his power but I still wish Naksu to be the main master rather just a romantic precursor for him to discover his latent power.

Also I saw some comment about how Jang Uk will be the other powerful mage who can turn water to fire etc. But we all know that's not really a wild theory because this is the whole story about how Jang Uk rise to power. It's only a matter of time.

I think it was not to protect but to “burry forever the secret”. Jang Kang’s reason of agreeing to the King’s massacre may have been to “protect the secret”. In any case, It is still a fact that Naksu’s father was killed with injustice.

I think its not Jang Kang nor the 4 mages who allowed the massacre, but its actually The New King.

In Daeho, the position of a King/monarch is more powerful than that of the mages so I guess making up a good justification to massacee is ”easy” for a King. This is proven when Jang Kang was unable to refuse or argue with the request even of the dying king in the past. So If the crown prince’s father is also that of a scumbag(if he also poisoned the Soul-Shifter King to death or is too greedy), the 4 prestigious families may have been ordered for the collective punishment of Naksu’s whole family for him to keep his position as a newly appointed king.

The collective punishment. It is a principle accusing Naksu’s family of sharing responsibility for a crime committed by Naksu’s Father that is “not even true.” Thus, allowing JinMu to manipulate Naksu that his Father was given unfair punishment. Although it is true, it is not the whole truth/reason. Naksu is simple minded so she probably never asked Jin Mu and only thought of revenge. And so, Naksu was easily manipulated and became a foolish tool for Jin Mu to successfully massacre Daeho’s mages. Until, Jang Uk found her and made her his teacher.
