You put all my thoughts neatly in this comment! I’ve been watching these past 2 episodes at 1.5x speed because…
IKR..... I really think the makers got lucky and this clicked. This has all the elements needed to become a failure. Also, one more thing I forgot like how the queen and Jin mu are plotting and talking about evil stuff while the king is sitting right next to her. Lol
Agreed. It should be mindblowing that the hyped up episode 16 preview took the entirety of 17 and 18 to resolve…
I know right. They are just encashing Netflix's contract at this point of time. What was the whole point of ep 18, ok...naksu got her energy/ power back. But that happened in the 1st 5 mins of the start of the episode and ep 18 was 1 hr 11 mins long. I can't believe that rest 1 hr 5 mins was just pure A quality trash.
One more fillerish kinda episode towards the end of the series (Just like Attorney Woo Young's ep 13 and 14) very disappointing. I guess the makers know that this drama is super popular and audience just watch whatever is thrown on their plate.
1. So-I trying to hit the ice stone with her umbrella and nobody saw.....Ok....accepted it... So-I roaming around the corridor and running behind injured Yul to save him from the soul shifter still nobody noticed that she is not blind.....i mean, writer by now seriously think we are stupid along with Daeho's mages....
2. Naksu still not able to realise that her body is bu yeon's despite Bu Yeong telling her that its her body , lol. Naksu understood "To gain one power she will lose something else" but not about bu yeon being her body's original owner. I mean, how.....Its been so many episodes , so many encounters , yet she didn't get it. Same Naksu decoded that queen is shaman choi just by the line said by the soul shifter eunach kim "did the shamn choi send you to kill me". Just with this one line Naksu and Uk, decoded that queen is a soul shifter and that shaman choi is inside her body. Now Queen is going to shift to So-I 's body....just with that single line........Genius..........I mean, Naksu has seen Jin Bu Yeon's picture in her room but she failed to recognise her when she saw her (younger blindfolded Jin Bo Yeon) inside the ice stone......i mean, at one point she is smart and the next she becomes super dumb
3. Soul shifter 's chamber was not guarded. Now Park Jin and Heo knew that the Soul shifter can breath and move his fingers, yet that room was left unguarded. They know its dangerous, but ...what can i say...all the characters lack consistency.
4. When the power of ice stone is used, it can be seen from anywhere in Daeho ,but Dangu didn't know or see it is kinda funny.
5.So-I is a swindler but jung uk and Yul piyting her felt so naive. I mean, she just had indirectly killed those gangsters and Sari's broker, and now she is acting like a blind girl , yet they were pitying her was a thoughtless move.
6. Jung Kang cutting off his son uk's energy flow without thinking twice but got emotional while cutting Jin Mu's energy flow because he promised he would never perform Alchemy of souls, i was laughing so hard at this point of time. How foolish and Jung Kang is supposed to be smart.
Leads going back and forth on how they feel for each other at this point seems really draggy. They kiss and go back to as if nothing happened and make countless promises (i have lost track of all the promises).Its been going on for the past 8-9 episodes. Mu Doek/ Naksu 's comedy piece about how she has gotten used to maid stuff was so unnecessary . I mean we are in ep18 and they should be wrapping up or bring the story close to the conclusion as next week will be the finale. I know there is season 2 but season 2 won't have Jin Bu yeon so this doesn't look anywhere close to bringing her story to conclusion. So many loose ends and so many badly executed plots. I would say i am very disappointed. The idea was fresh but the execution didn't meet the expectations, atleast for me. Spent alot of time to even back out at this point of time.....
It is becoming clear that there is a syndicate whose members have this flame kinda tattoo (traffic police and the guy who started fire in the mental hospital)....but we don't know whether this organisation works for Big mouse or big mouse is its leader. This reminds of the drama 'Mouse' where there was a similar kinda organization which cleaned after the murder site after mouse killed his victims. Also, multiple personalities kinda situation like in voice 4 or kill me, heal me kida situation. If these things come true that there is an alter ego which is controlling or keeping an eye on Chang ho's main personality and the alter ego is the big mouse then its an utter shame and super disappointing.
Big Mouse is not a single person, its an organisation with a leader. The police officer's tattoo made it clear.…
Also, the person who set the mental hospital on fire also had that tattoo on his finger. So definitely somehow related to some syndicate. I hope it is not going in the direction of the drama 'mouse' where there was an similar organisation which cleaned after mouse killed someone.
All these evil MoFos should just die.Putting them behind the bars won't make a dent to them. We have seen how they live inside a prison so going to the prison is like vacation to them so they should just be killed.
I know the main plot is not romance but i totally can see Ji Hyung getting little jealous and i don't want that…
I thought this came out of nowhere, Ji Hyung getting jealous. I mean, they were just the team lead and the new employee kinda relationship so it felt forced for me
I think the warden 's lackey , the guard is little suspicious. He didn't seem to be shocked when he saw on the screen that they were just pretending to fight to threaten Dr. Han
Looks like you have read the novel, was there an arc for Lou Ben in the novel as well? Because him turning evil…
Like you said earlier, many incidents looks rushed. Like LJT's case, her scenes looked rather funny and didn't looked justified. If they had showed her time with LBY in exile then audience would have felt something but now it was like whatever. Move on. Also, I felt A' Yao had more time with CSS when he was engaged than YS. He didn't have much screentime in general. In the drama, he wasn't engaged with CSS...so his love for her also mehhhh
Rewatching episode 51-53 and I still bawl my eyes out my god that scene with the mother, and then with the Empress,…
Looks like you have read the novel, was there an arc for Lou Ben in the novel as well? Because him turning evil didn't convince me and his wife to become so vicious....it looked like they used it to bring the leads together
