Guys, I'm getting emotional thinking how next week is the last week for AoS part 1 🥺🥺😭 😢 I will have nothing to look forward to during the week. We'll have to wait months before part 2 airs 😭😭😭😫
Since the poem has been at the front and centre of discussion in episodes 17-18 here is the poem as a refresher:
Words of the Heart
"You cannot grasp water, but it is inside the soil. You cannot touch fire, but it is inside the tree. You cannot hold the wind, but it is resting on the rock. If you let them be, they will exist everywhere.
The faint, blue light makes me sigh. My white breath turned into snow and tears. I could not let them drop and hid them. Despite knowing that they will fill up once again, I am a fool who dares not shed a single tear."
Looks like Danggu and Cho Yeon killed father Jin to protect the real Queen! And the "Queen" i.e Shaman Choi his sister gets pissed and reveals herself! And tries to soul shift! With who is the question!
Edit! I think that the one standing behind Danggu in the preview where Shaman Choi is performing AoS and the real Queen!
I can't shake the feeling that Bu Yeon purposely trapped these specific people in the ice stone to test Naksu. See what would be Naksu's choice. Greed/power or choosing to protect the ones she loves with her powers.
I just saw episodes 17-18 and woah! So much is happening! 😮 These 2 weeks were totally worth the wait!
Damn that kiss! 👁️👄👁️ Naksu saying her goodbyes to CP and Yul and saying that they will die yet she couldn't bring herself to see Jang Uk. She avoided him and then rushed to save him because she couldn't stand the fact that he could die. NAKSU choosing Jang Uk over everyone and her powers!
