I want to know who is standing behind Dang-gu during that shaman ritual. And why are he and Cho-yeon dressed in the colors of the Palace Guard. Maybe - should I cross my fingers - Chodang is finally getting a story of their own rather than being little satellites around Jang Uk and Mu-deok. And it looks like Jang Gang is coming up the steps to the Training Centr when the soul shift is beginning. I'm really looking forward to this part of the story.

I'm looking forward to Season 2 when we will see much more of Maidservant Kim and Park Jin's romance. Plus my favorite, Chodang. 💕💕

Mama Jin knows - and so does jin Mu. Master Lee is pretty certain as well. Naksu has never concerned herself with the person whose body she stole - why should she question it now?

I hope you are not implying that the chemistry was all due to LJW. He did hold his own with the amazing JSM but can he carry all of it?? We'll see.😊

Precisely. What do Naksu fans want - a lengthy sword fight that will further drain energy from the survivors? ? I don't understand the denigration of JSM - she studied ballet, there are many videos out there of her dancing. Plus, all those action scenes with GYJ - she had a body double for the big stuff, just like the male mages.

You asked how it could happen? Master Lee shifted his soul into a FROZEN body of a dead boy. Naksu's body was FROZEN when Gil-ju stole it from Songrim. And Jin Mu wanted a Very Public burning so that everyone would assume - just like most viewers - that it's not possible for her to return. That's how it could be done - just like Master Lee.

I'm also hoping that JSM is returning.

Her father tries to kill her boyfriend and the boyfriend will likely kill or badly injure the father. I don't think a wedding is in the works.

I agree - I thought it was the Seo family heritage that gave Go Won his mage energy as well. His father has none.

It will be a pleasure to watch Karma hit her in the face. If they don't kill her, I hope she's soul shifted into the burned out hulk of Shaman Choi.

I agree. But I remind myself - "Naksu" is a creation of Jin Mu and his brainwashing. Her worldview is limited to survival.

You are watching the same show that I am 😊 But you have more courage than I do in speaking plainly. Unless JSM decided On Her Own that she didn't want to return, she will be back. I do believe GYJ will be on the show - playing Cho Yeong - the girl Seo Yul first fell in love with when he broke his ankle. So, that's why I think the frozen body might be useful. 😎

In the preview, he's walking up the steps of the Training Center while Shaman Choi is doing the soul shift. At this point, I'm getting really, really bad vibes about who Jin Bu-yeon's father is. 😕😕😕

Jin Mu practices sorcery - creating a fake body would be easy. I'm just pointing out that in the very first episodes, they made a special point about her body being frozen and Jin Mu wanted a big public burning.

I think the episode was intended to make "Naksu" finally figure out what she wants in life, but I found it contrived and I always hate it when good guys are killed just to make a point.

Nevertheless, it is Jin Bu-yeon who created the ice barrier and she's trying to get "Naksu" to learn about the REAL power of the ice stone. She's testing her - just like Master Lee is testing Jang Uk.

Now we can get back to the real story -Jang Uk's destiny to "deal with the chaos created by the ice stone" .

I don't know if JSM will be a cameo (JBY looking down from the skies - ugh), the female lead or a few "special guest appearances" (that's a phrase used in Hollywood - doesn't seem to be standard in Korea). But I think she will appear in Season 2.

"Naksu"/Cho-Yeong's body was frozen when Gil-ju stole it from Songrim. If I was writing a way for her to return, that's the body I would use.

Jin Bu-yeon is alive and was pulling the ice stone towards her when Fake JBY screwed up everything.

And I'm glad she told "Naksu" that Naksu is essentially a parasite that JBY has been graciously keeping alive for months. 😍😍

I think JSM will appear in Season 2. 😎

For weeks, I have thought the following - and even if I am totally wrong, it's fun to speculate.

Jin Mu figures out Bu-yeon is alive.
Frozen Body
Lots of Abra Kadabra soul shifting - some intentional, some not
Two Cliffhangers:
(1)Is Bu-yeon dead or not (and THAT is the spoiler that will be given away if they announce if JSM is returning or not)?
(2) Where is Naksu's soul?

Google has changed Jung So Min's character description to Jin Bu Yeon. 😊😊😊

In a recent Jung So Min vlog, she said that SHE (the actress) had never had a scene in the Royal Palace because her character was a low status (or something like that). Very interesting since it showed that the writers are actually thinking through some of these issues and plotting out the scenes accordingly.
