Thank you for this list! I love Liu Yuning and have many songs by him, so I'm going to check out the rest you…
Thanks! I haven't checked the links for a long time, sometimes they're put up by his fans (not official), so they may taken down by YouTube. Let me know if there's any broken link!
oh well done article! you truly made me curious to start it. And the clips you used are darn catchy, those really…
Honestly, I only watched two of the Hong Sisters' dramas: Hotel del Luna and The Master's Sun. The last one has a happy ending. I don't watch A Korean Odyssey, because I read that the ending is unsatisfactory. Regarding Hotel del Luna, from the synopsis it already indicates that eventually the main protagonist, the immortal Jang Man Wol, fixes her past issue to be able to pass on to the after life. So it's a given that she may not end up with the mortal Chan Sung in the present life. Not sure what the last 'reunion' scene is about, a dream, a reincarnation?
I'm up-to-date with AoS, so my 'feeling' is just based on what I've watched till now (Episode 12). The female protagonist Mu Deok/Naksu is the one bears the most difficult issue, since she's a soul shifter who can gone wild in the future to her demise (being petrified). I cannot spoil you much, but there is a mysterious powerful object that can solve her problem/save her life, and currently is on the search by her and Jang Uk. Us viewers know where the item is, it's a matter of time the couple finds it. So, it's possible to have a happy ending, but not after much suspense, mystery, and possibly heartbreak.
There is also a special secret about the Female Lead (or perhaps two), which I cannot spoil you since it's a major one. So I doubt it that the drama kills the Female Lead. Neither killing the Male Lead, since there is a major spoiler you find out even by watching Episode 1.
So far, so good. In my opinion, the drama hasn't gone south. Plot/mystery and romance, script/dialogue, acting/characterization and action, and cinematography still hold the quality shown from the beginning. Being fantasy, it's unpredictable too, and some secrets are still to be solved. They did a good job on dangling carrots for the viewers, lol.
The only thing that is the biggest mystery, for us the ones who are watching it: what's the ending of Part 1? They're filming Part 2 currently, not sure if Part 2 is ready to air when Part 1 is over on August 21. This Part 2 announced before Part 1 finishes is new in Kdramas, right? My thought that they want to also know the feedback from the audience, to wrap the drama nicely with a bow. So hopefully it's like fan-service.
There is a news that Part 2 Female Lead will not be Jung So Min (Mu Deok) but Go Yun Joong (Naksu). So many viewers' speculations about that. So bear that in mind when want to watch AoS. If you're worried about the ending (of Part 1), I suggest for you to wait until it finishes airing and find out what it is ;D
Sorry for the late reply. Now that I watched till Ep 10, I can reply to you comment, haha. I agree with you. The…
Yeah, since the beginning I was already curious about the soul shifting 'gone wrong' between Naksu and Mu Deok... there must be something behind the process that we will see later in the drama. Cos it's clear Naksu didn't pick Mu Deok initially because of her blindness.

Oh wow... I didn't think about the Queen not being his own mom... I was surprised that she's actually the villain, since according to the relationship chart, she's Seo Yul's auntie and the niece/grand niece of Seo Gyeong (Master Lee's teacher) the founder of Sejugwon.
do you know anything about if this drama will focus on the romance part as well or not? As none of the sites (iqiyi,…
Yeah, it's hard to tell just by looking at that scene in the trailer. But I think this drama is like Cross Fire and The King's Avatar, with no romance genre but there are romance in the story. Just put "slight romance" in the tag, but no "romance" in the genre.
