Aramintai

Jin Seol Ran. She was the founder of Jin clan from 200 years ago. Songrim leader dedicated a poem to her in that magical book in part 1, his was an unrequited love.
Apparently she was dying from wounds or smth soon after the great war and Songrim leader left one ice stone for her to live. But she refused it, allegedly, and died. And that ice stone was held in Jinyowon ever since, until mama Jin gave it to Jang Kang to help her birth her stillborn daugher, Jin Bu Yeon.
There were theories going on earlier about her actually being in that ice stone and transmigrating to mama Jin's dead baby with no soul. I guess it's true after all? We'll see tomorrow.

🤦‍♂️ Ffs, I really hope that's not it.

Wedding ceremony before killing off the villain again? Or resolving incoming doom issue? That never ends well. Did nobody learn anything from part 1?

If JSR is indeed JBY's soul I guess we can figure out whom that old actress (from Uncanny Counter) in unknown support role is going to play. But I'd put her in guest role.

Yea, he wanted to save monsters (soul shifters) from people in part 1, especially Naksu. But I guess killing them for 3 years has changed him.

I think some people's expectations were too high here. Haven't you learned anything from watching other kdramas and AoS part 1?
1. It's a penultimate episode. They're skipping scenes on purpose to tease us for the finale.
2. Part 1 also had huge buildup that fizzled very anticlimactically in the last two episodes. Don't expect something grandiose out of the finale.
3. Any couple that makes wedding plans is going to meet big misfortune. And it's not the leads now, they've learned their lesson.
4. Expecting a villain to die when there's one more episode left is unreasonable, there has to be more time wasted on the mofo in one final showdown before wrapping it up.
5. Master Lee is a lazily written, blatant, useless writers insert that makes up more and more ridiculous bs as episodes go. Part 2's plot got so contrived I don't even care now what else he comes up with.

Anyway, lower your expectations, writers are not that good, and just hope for a happy ending for the leads. Personally, I don't care about anything else at this point. If they gonna kill them off, this drama is going into the dumpster bin for me.

Can't believe it's ending this weekend! This drama has been on my mind for half a year now, flaws and all.
I really hope it's gonna end well. I want to be able to rewatch it, which gonna happen only with a happy ending.

According to Jin Mu himself he has not shifted yet because all the soul ejectors that were made were cursed by the shaman. He didn’t want to fall to the bells curse.
I guess now that the shaman is dead and he got the bells he could have done it, but his position right now likely is more beneficial until he gets an ice stone at least.

Because he loves her?

I'm hoping for a happy ending with both of them alive, of course.

I doubt it. Haven't you seen how Naksu started pushing Uk away as soon as she learned from JBY that she's gonna disappear? She wouldn't want to hurt him even more. Do you think she'll agree to a frikking wedding with these news? Not a chance unless this problem is resolved.
And they've already done this type of plot where they were carelessly making future plans and planning a wedding without resolving Naksu's soul shifter issue. I doubt the leads will make the same mistake again now.

It’s not. It most likely means Korean name of this drama - Hwanhon. One of its translations is marriage/wedding. You can look up various translations for it even here in name section on part 1 page.

Because it's a moral dilemma he himself is not willing to solve. I can already see it how the leads will be agonizing over it. To do the noble thing and let Naksu die, or f*ck JBY - kick her out.
I'm hoping the idea of saving both people, that Park Jin taught Uk, will take a firm root and the leads will find a third solution to this problem.

Yea, right, let's relegate the decision to use sorcery on poor Uk. Does that make master Lee a coward or a hypocrite?

At this point, you can't really trust anything he says, because it may as well turn out to be yet another bs.

Also, he said that Hwansu level mage like Uk could kick out JBY's soul to save Naksu. But master Lee himself is a Hwansu level mage and could have saved Naksu from the very beginning of part 2, instead of doing this half assed job that gonna come undone soon.

Which one graveyeard? The one Uk built? But there were no flower fields there, just a regular forest.

The photos are different because FL wears a headband there, she’s not wearing it at the end of episode 8.

Excellent. Looks cheerful.
And yea, if it's afterlife, then master Lee doesn't belong in there together with the leads 😂.

Anyway, let's hope for a happy ending! 🤗
