Seems like this drama will have romance? ML better be knowing what he's doing then, this is no ordinary FL. Girl has very low chances of finding a romantic interest as it is, he better not hurt her by careless mistake.

Who's gonna train ML to become a proper mage master, let him take her up that tree and help get revenge? Village pauper? This show is about student ML and teacher FL, they won't switch horses halfway through the show.
But of course, nobody can deny you headcanoning whatever you want.

So, doesn't matter that you haven't even seen that person in action, you're already rooting for her instead of Naksu? She could be a total bitch, a clueless idiot, or a timid flower for all we know. While Naksu already is charming characters and the audience left and right with her personality and clever mind. I just don't get you guys, Naksu is the official FL. Yea, she inhabits other girl's body, but that body's soul is not FL. Even if that girl's soul wakes up and starts interfering with Naksu it will be Mr. Queen plot, with FL still being Naksu. Rooting for FL to get killed so that a stranger may take over the body is just dumb. And ML already seems to be falling for Naksu person, not for the body, not for the dormant Mu-Deok's soul who hasn't showed up yet in any meaningful fashion in front of him.
I'd rather root for Naksu staying in that body and becoming JBY with soul merge, memories or whatever shenanigans this show will come up with. Otherwise she's doomed, because she has no body of her own now. She has nowhere to return to, unlike in Mr. Queen. Personally, aside from injustice done to ML, I find this fact the next saddest thing.

Or never get not even a new season, but not even the planned side-story feature film. Like Kingdom. I'm still pissed that they left it at the cliffhanger. And the show was really successful to boot, yet it doesn't matter still.

Which is still not known whether it will be produced, just that the script is being written. And it's not known what it will be about - continuation of the plot, new plot, same characters, new characters...
Honestly with 20 episodes it is already quite big, but I never underestimate writers inability to concisely wrap up the story 🙄. I'd actually prefer this story to be self contained, I hate waiting years for new seasons. And in worst case scenarios showrunners get ahead of themselves, run into financial/scheduling problems and planned seasons don't get released and we are left with dangling cliffhangers.

I'm ok with combined souls, but it's still just a wishful thinking. For all we know it may end up badly, with Naksu ejected from Mu-Deok's body and dying bodiless. I really hope not, but still.

I agree.

If you watched it, how do you find it ok for Uk to end up with some random girl he barely knows, while the person, with whom he shared all the troubles and really fell in love, leaves him forever? It really left a sour note in Mr. Queen ending, I hope it won't be copied here.

Go watch Mr. Queen (similar plot btw), or From Now On, Showtime! , or many others. There is only one fate for SMLs - they get friendzoned in the end.
And here there’s nothing substantial even going on yet, you’re really getting ahead of yourself. Let’s just watch more episodes to see who ends up with whom, if any.

There are a lot of dramas where FL has a childhood crush on somebody else, but ends up with ML anyway. Doesn’t mean anything here. And so far there is no real Mu-Deok person that we’ve seen, don’t get ahead of yourself trying to ditch the real FL which is Naksu person. For now at least. Whether she gets separated from Mu-Deok's body, gets souls combined or whatever else, it's still not known. But one thing is certain - ML is already jealous. Which is a big warning sign for all the SMLs, lol.

You want FL gone? This cunning, funny and determined FL? Naksu is FL, not whoever Mu-Deok originally was. What you want is lame, imho.

So, Jin clan's missing elder daughter - Naksu or Mu-Deok?

Evidence for Naksu:
- she was addressed as lady when she was a child, meaning she's was of noble birth;
- there was a massacre and she is presumed missing or dead, just like the case with missing Jin clan's daughter;
- Jin clan is matriarchal, so her father's position wasn't that of a leader - he was a constellations recorder;
- all this talk of birds and eggs in a high nest in need of sheltering - Jin clan's matriarch seems to be very fond of birds, she has lots of them in cages, and she contemplates them longingly. Maybe Naksu used this metaphor to talk about her childhood;
- she was a powerful mage;
- Naksu is not her real name, but a nickname.

Evidence for Mu-Deok:
- her weak body somehow still able to keep Naksu alive and not become petrified, even though she lacks energy - was she a mage?;
- something strange about her soul, it wasn't ejected from her body - again, was she a mage?;
- she can sense Jin clan's artifacts for what they are even when they're hidden in a box. This surprised Naksu, however if she's the daughter she may have been too young to know about this ability, or it may not be Jin clan's ability but the body's she inhabits;
- judging by the preview she can open (unless she was lured into it) Jin clan's artifact vault, even though only clan members can do it. However, again, if the daughter is Naksu the vault may be reacting to her soul, not the body.

So far I think there is more evidence for Naksu, however the last two points for Mu-Deok are pretty strong, but only if it's not Naksu's abilities. Could there have been two girls missing from about the same time? I kinda doubt it.

FL’s younger brother Soo Ho and her female best friend Ok Hee.

Stalker being evil since childhood is not unheard of in k-dramas. Flower of Evil plot comes to mind.
But really, we can suspect anyone at this point, no hints about the real culprit were dropped yet.

Yea, they were a couple. But not much was going on there aside from them acting immature most of the time. I think they were there just for some comic relief.

It seems you can’t become a successful ML actor in SK if your height is less than 185cm. I’m not even joking.

My only theory so far is that it’s ML’s dead sister’s ghost. Like, she helps the leads reconnect and find her body.
It would be disappointing if it’s not gonna be explained at all.

So, does anybody has any theories about the Link?

Let’s hope it’s not like in Beyond Evil, where ML actor also starred. SML’s sister there was hit by a car by accident, then ran over again to the death, then entombed in the cellar of SML’s house, under his nose for 20 years.
I mean, I really hope not, but this can get very gruesome.
