thinking about this body swap thing reminded me of a popular Chinese drama The Untamed. it had body swap in it…
Not sure if you’ve seen 18 again but it’s one of many good examples of how you can visually use two actors to embody one character to the audience in a method beside just flashbacks like this court scene where they pan from his 18 year old version to his 40 year old version to remind the audience that that’s who he really is inside of the 18 year old. They sprinkle it during various moments through the episodes. https://youtu.be/5f0E_oit5dQ?t=149
The Untamed is a perfect example of how it didn’t translate well from book to show lol
So, are the showrunners really going throw out Bu-Yeon character out of the plot just like that without giving…
Knowing what we know now …..from a strictly public relations standpoint it would have been better to not announce the return of GYJ and also not announce JSM fate and leave both out of the trailer. The ending of season 1 was more than enough to keep people invested in what happens next and avoid risky negative publicity in the interim 4 month waiting period. Simply HIDE what’s to come and then let the story play out in December.

High Fantasy is already a really hard genre to sell in Korea and TVN/Studio Dragon seem to be following the totally disastrous rollout of Arthdal Chronicles which they broke into 3 parts during the first season rather than airing as one and during which allowed outside publicity about the actors to become bigger than the show and affect viewership.
Apparently yesterdays info was wrong and TVN has officially stated that Jung So Min does not appear at all in Part 2. They say the information that she does circulated yesterday is not true.
Either way this is a PR mess now. Twitter has become a cesspool of each fanbase fighting with each other for no reason. Sigh.
Rarely do you have a rollout as butchered by leaks and conflicting articles as we’ve had with AOS Part 2.
Apparently TVN today is officially refuting that JSM will be in Season 2 at all and says yesterdays information is wrong. She will *not* be in S2 at all “as she is petrified” (which doesn’t even make sense as a reason)
One way or another people are going to be unhappy 😅 No JSM, people will be unhappy. A little JSM, people will…
Listen you are aggressive for literally no reason to anyone who doesn’t blindly support every aspect of the show. I’ve rated the show a 10 and yet I can still discuss my PERSONAL OPINIONS freely thank you. I’ve never had a single conflict in all my time on MDL until you. It’s bizarre. You have continually come at me and I have tried not to respond in kind. Your comment above is obnoxious. You don’t own this comment section and people do not have to agree with YOUR opinions but you get aggressive when people express their issues with the show. You don’t understand that people can have DIFFERENT OPINIONS. It isn’t about me being right or you being wrong. Or my apparent lack of “Taste” There are plenty of people who share my opinions and plenty of people who don’t. Only you seem to have to “WIN” as if there is some prize to winning a debate on MDL.
It’s a TV Show. I have already said let’s agree to disagree rather than go back and forth over a TV SHOW. Please go touch grass. Goodness. Life’s too short.

To answer your rhetorical question *anyway* yes I clearly have stated I believe the use of GYJ strategically through season 1 WOULD make a difference. The way I would use her is not the way you are describing and I don’t want to write another wall of text explaining it.
Let’s agree to disagree since it’s useless debating this repeatedly.
The series spent 3 years in script development, and confirmed its cast on December 18, 2020. Filming commenced…
It might be because 1. It’s A LOT of post production since it’s so heavily CGI 2. Submitting and passing Chinese censors for approval to air 3. Deciding on a time slot. Cdramas tend to take so much longer to get aired than other countries 😞
I know this is silly thing to say but I feel bad for mu deok-jung uk couple. Even if bu yeon and naksu survives…
It’s not a silly thing to say. I think a lot of us feel this way. What happened in Ep 20 was traumatic. And if that wasn’t bad enough we are told to just get excited for this drastic change that they did not even ease us into. Hopefully there are things we don’t know that will make it all work but that remains to be seen.
A Perfect 10. It’s over and I’m still crying. These two characters and these two actors have completely melted by heart. I don’t even know what else to say. Everything from this story was just so beautiful. Thank you to everyone single person who took part in its creation and gave us this gift.
