Doubtful. And he himself sealed the ice stone 20 years ago. And then disappeared. He didn't care for it anymore since back then.
One of my guesses, since he's a dumbass who taught Jin Mu the alchemy of souls, he got soul shifted into some feeble old timer with no energy and is being kept somewhere under lock.

I doubt it. He said he knows EVERYTHING about her. And if she trains Uk to be a mage then it begs a big question who the heck is she. Clearly not some servant. And if it will be revealed she's a Cho then she's busted.

Cho had their own household with servants. Clearly one of the more prominent houses. And looks like positions in Daeho's most important institutions like Songrim, Sejukwon and Cheonbugwan are for nobles only.

Chilling, hiding like a coward after making a mess...😒

Judging by the preview I'm guessing that Master Lee will hint to maidservant Kim that there's a Cho in the house. Also, Uk's father was mouring dead Cho father in one scene in earlier episode, so they could have been known as friends to maidservant Kim. Uk will use this to confirm that Mu-Deok is Cho. Hence the scene where she's mourning the dead (her parents) at the ceremony table. As a mere servant she wouln't be allowed this, so probably her status in the house will change. Then Yul sees this and is going to tell Park Jin about it, exposing her as Naksu. Because Park Jin already knows that Naksu was from Cho clan. Hence those Yul/Park Jin and Mu-Deok scenes. Both Yul and Park Jin will want to protect Uk from a soul shifter who may drain his energy.

Also, gotta keep in mind that they show the preview for both next week's episodes, so those later scenes may be well into episode 14. Not too early to start revealing the most important secrets. Good guys gotta start banding together to counter the bad guys big plan.

She's not from Choi, her surname was Cho.

Not Jang Uk. Yul is the best candidate to take over Songrim. He's very similar to Park Jin character, come to think of it. Even as bad with women as him, lol.

Have you, guys, paid attention what was said about Naksu in the last episodes? She was an assassin of poor innocent souls that got trapped in discarded bad guys' bodies after soul shifting. Basically she was used to clean up the villains mess. And then she was sent on a suicide mission to kill Songrim mages and got mortally wounded. The villains decided to get rid of her. Talking about a sad, fked up fate.

Yea, I think Naksu has nothing to worry about while she's in Bu-Yeon's body. But it was kinda weird how only by the end of episode 12, when months have passed, she started to worry she'll go wild. I would have started questioning what is up with the body long ago already.

You mean how they caught the accomplice? Through their incometent, uncoordinated and hindering actions they 1) let him get hit by a truck 2) let him get killed in the hospital while being in the same room. Instead of immediately yanking off the cord and calling the doctors they all ran after the villain who of course got away. All those policemen should have been fired for incompetence and gross negligence on the spot. And ML should have been arrested for obstruction of justice ages ago. And this shit will continue happening more than once because there are 18 episodes, I tell you. I've no patience for this stupidity, their childish behavior and dumb humor doesn't help either.

Possible, paranoia's getting to us already 🤦‍♂️😅

You're comparing to irl situations. But this is fantasy. Yea, there are servants. But nobody's paying real attention or suspects them of anything, because they're supposed to be dumb, loyal and obedient. Which Mu-Deok plays perfectly. Numerous times when she was questioned she just got away with it by playing dumb and loyal, spiced with some groveling.

She's a very loyal maid of a known eccentric noble, who never leaves his side. So you're right, nobody's paying her any attention.

Yea, they wanna make the audience go paranoid now. The villains have a whole sect going now, lots of people. Looks like they're prepping for all out war with Songrim. I wonder will there be a way to expose all of them at once, like force them to go wild or smth? Or will it be a long slog of trying to identify who's who.

Looks like you're quite an avid kdrama watcher :). Maybe take a break for a bit, do something else? Good dramas can't release monthly and watching trashy ones just for the sake of it is not worth the time.
Also, there are new promising upcoming ones like Big Mouth, Adamas coming out next week.

Some digruntled person of a disgraced clan. We'll have to stay tuned to learn more.

I wouldn't recommend it personally, but have you seen Kiss Sixth Sense? There are some steamy scenes.

And I've seen Eve drama is pretty daring. But I can't recommend it either, since I don't watch makjang bullshit.

No, she isn't. Like regular soul shifters she got dumped inside another body.

😆🤔

Maybe, but it sounded like the sibling was trapped in Jinyowon. Jin father is walking around freely there.
