JBY never lost her power. I think Naksu's power comes from her enchanted sword - and I want to know how that sword somehow found its way from the Jang house to Songrim. Did I miss something in a prior episode where it got moved?

I got the impression he may be an alcoholic??

i'm not tired. Fake Queen thinks she will be able to control Jinyowon if she is in So-i's body - BIG mistake. I don't think Shaman Choi survives Season 1.

Bu-yeon isn't dead.

My number one complaint about Ep. 17 is that there were no scenes between Park Jin and Maidservant Kim. But loved Dang-gu deciding to take on a leadership role in Songrim even if his plan was wrong.

I agree - she'll try. And Cho-yeon will also figure it out - she's the only one who has seen the scar on Mu-deok's arm and she now knows from Dang-gu that So-i is a fake.

Jin Mu is going to figure it out as well, however.

Yesterday, I posted my crazy wild theory that she eventually ends up in the burned hulk of original Shaman Choi - in fact, maybe my theory isn't so wild since several items occurred in Ep. 17 - discovering that Queen Seo is still alive, Jin Mu DOES plan to shift Shaman Choi into So-i's body.

Those scenes were longer than necessary but surely confirmed that So-i's fate will be a miserable end.

Cuteness and bickering overload! These are my favorite type of scenes.

I guess you read my "wild crazy theory". 😎😎😎

I think JSM will return.

Cau and Isabella answered for me.

My unpopular opinion is that the Naksu of the first two episodes is not returning - I think GYJ will play Cho Yeong. "Naksu the Shadow Assassin" was a creation of Jin Mu with brain-washed memories.

I think some of the characters are going to end up at Wol Fortress at some point. Jang Gang returning, recent focus on Do-Hwa. Where did you see mention of Heo Yoon Ok filming?

Well, Jang Gang could make the 7th (in addition to the six I named). As long as it isn't So-i!!

Character/Location Descriptions updated today 8/19 (see here: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/can-this-person-be-translated/73883-aos-character-descriptions-and-relationships-venue-descriptions-spoilers )

So, a new question arises – Who are the Seven Stars surrounding Jang Uk? In Episode 15, Master Lee says “Even if he exists, the light he emits will be faint. And the energy of the seven stars surrounding him will not show yet.”

When looking at the updated Character Descriptions, there are six characters (plus Jang Uk) all born within a few years of each other: Seo Yul; Park Dang-gu; Cho-yeon; Bu-yeon (“Mu-deok”); Cho-yeong; and the Crown Prince.

And then we have Heo Yun-ok and So-I also in the same generation.

I swear that if So-I is one of the stars, I will vomit.

Found this translation on Twitter of LJW and JSM talking about the ending:

LJW: the ending is something that you guys cant imagine
JSM: you might think it's almost over but you can only know by watching it till the end

Still cuts for Ep. 17. Jang Gang and Jang Uk. Not much new but always fun to see.

If the plan is to shift the Queen's soul into So-i, then I don't think she would approve if she knew about the blood worm. I'm wondering if Jin Mu has been double-dealing her the whole time -claiming that his biggest wish is for her to reign over Daeho when in fact HE wants to be the one ruling over Daeho. He has mage energy - she doesn't. I feel a "wild/crazy theory" spinning in my head, but I don't have time to write it up.

Question - does the Fake Queen know about the blood worm in So-i?

Here's a link to the Ep. 17 "preview description" .

The BTS videos showing with the sword fights are my favorite - so much choreography involved.
