First of all, I am talking about the 'What if ... theory.' I am not talking about the current storyline. I am talking about 'what if in another universe before Naksu went to kill Park Jin.' I want part 2 to start at this timeline, like a reboot.
Kim Hee Soo:
She wasn't boasting, she was just getting her revenge and being consumed with anger you can do silly things and so she was overconfident about her skills
I agree with this point; she sure was overconfident.
Kim Hee Soo:
because she believed she is the only one that attained all 4 levels of magic and thinks can kill all mages. Or that Jin Mu promised to support her but his army never came, hence she was cornered in the first episode.
EP 1
1:06:04 – ‘The soul you need to collect this time is Park Jin, the leader of Songrim.’
Naksu has only reached 3rd level of magic. She hasn't reached Hwansu, the 4th level. Jin Mu didn't promise that he will send help. But your theory about her getting cornered is right.
Kim Hee Soo:
My theory of how Season 1 ends is this unfinished revenge that Naksu has but this time not with the 4 families but with Jin Mu who she regarded as a father figure. That man raised her.
With how ep 1-8 pace is going, it will become too boring if they slow down the pace of killing Jin Mu cos he isn't the main villain. The queen and many more villains are yet to reveal.
Kim Hee Soo:
She may not be able to do that in Mu Deok's body as Mu Deok is physically weak but she is able to with the help of the Ice Stone in her. Unfortunately Ice Stone needed to be destroyed to save the world and all this may happen in the lake at the end of Season 1.
We have the same thought on this point though. I am going to miss Mu Deok.
