I read somewhere on twitter that the traditional Korean period for mourning is 3 years. it could explain that Jang uk is still officially mourning and, for that matter, Cho-yeon and Mama Jin. i have no idea if that's why writers chose 3 years but it seems like a stupidly long time.

Totally agree - the preview in August was exciting - Uk and the (assumed) soul shifter; the festival; quick view of all the main characters, including jin Mu. i've been looking forward to it (although not in hysterics like some 🤣🤣), but the three teasers don't provide me any reason to watch.

In June, Director park said: "“When Hong sisters were writing the script, we discussed so many interesting stories about DIFFERENT families, characters and their development. Unfortunately, I thought 20 episodes would not be enough to really show the strengths of the scriptwriters who create very entertaining and COMICAL stories. . . . . The scriptwriters are currently working on part two as well. Hopefully, we will have more time to EXPLORE EACH INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER in detail,” Park added. [CAPS my emphasis].

I don't think it's misirection. I think marketing/PR office decided to go all in on the heavy romance because - as the old adage goes - sex sells.

On this one point - You and I absolutely agree (although I say Ep. 26, not 23) but the journey is half the joy. I can't wait for them even though they will probably be short-changed as they were in Part 1.

Is Jin Mu creating "new" soul shifters? My impression is that there are no more Soul Ejectors available (but I might be wrong - it was very confusing). If fans like you and me are confused about where this is heading then that speaks volumes about Hong Sisters changing the ice stone/Hwansu rules as they wish.

Thank goodness 💕💕 for Cho-yeon and Dang-gu. They will have a happy ending and that's all I need to watch Part 2. 😊

Thanks for posting. This preview finally focuses on the ice stone story. Naksu killed "innocent" victims of soul shifters. Did Jang Uk do the same? Because his power is uncontrollable?

I guess we wait until Monday for the Cho-yeon/Dang-gu still cuts. 😢😢😢

Trying to find translation somewhere. . . anywhere for the voice-over of their miniscule scene.

Well, it's not like she is really going to marry the creepy uncle. Cho-yeon and Dang-gu will be married by the end of Ep. 30 and she will be preggers with boy/girl twins. It is written and so it shall be. 🥰

I'm thinking that Jin Mu is going to try and marry off Yul's uncle (the actor is only 34 but looks much younger) to his niece Cho-yeon since she and Dang-gu are estranged. At one time he was pushing for the CP to marry Cho-yeon but neither wanted that!

I don't follow "celebrities" on IG but every once in awhile a link leads me there (see my post above re: Eun Hye's IG post w/Chodang) and I probably never will after it finished. But I love In-soo's interaction w/Arin - they are like brother/sister.

YouTube Link (sad that Arin is missing but I'm sure she had schedule conflict - like maybe major photo shoot in Thailand last week 😢😢)

Gentle Correction - they are ALL looking good. 🥰🥰🥰

We are in Cho-Dang drought, but here they are with the in-laws. Thank-you Park Eun Hye (Mama Jin).

When I look at all the many tiny bits of info around the internet and add it all up - I've pretty much resigned myself to that the fact that tvN was NOT lying when they said JSM would not appear in Part 2. 😢 I will be happy if I am wrong.

😊

Finally, some still cuts of the Crown Prince. Is it too much to ask for something - ANYTHING?? for the other couple in crisis - Cho-Yeon and Dang-gu????

Finally found it! I wish I could fly to Korea and see JSM in her first stage play even if I wouldn't understand a word (after all, if one has seen the movie, one understands the words 😊😊)

Have you seen the promo for JSM's new play "Shakespeare in Love"? If not, I'll try to locate the link. 😊

The AoS saga/epic begins with Jin Bu-yeon (her birth/ice stone) and it will somehow end with her as well.

Some of the cast was together for filming something for Netflix a few days ago

And. . . ."Because this is my First Life". Love the FL's in each drama. 😊🥰😊

So, they finally acknowledge who she is (Cho Yeong/Young) but continue to play dumb with the posters, character descriptions, etc??? What kind of marketing is this?

And, now that I did a little searching, all I can say is: What the heck tvN???- Yesterday they had brand new character descriptions (including Yul's uncle) on the web site and I was going to try and update the AoS Character Descriptions. they also had a new Character Relationship chart. Now??? The web site is back to the old stuff.

I keep telling myself: ChoDang will get married. ChoDang will get married. That's all I care about. ChoDang will get married.
