Will try to answer though Im not quite clear if I understood your question

- no one produces anymore soul ejector ever since the ice stone was carried by Jang Uk
- many soul ejectors were produced when Shaman Choi aka Queen 1.0 was still alive, Jin Mu must have used them to produce more soul shifters. There were also many members of the secret organization who I assume are soul shifters wanting to live for eternity through soul shifting. Jang Uk maybe hasn't killed all of them yet.
- there was a box containing potions and the bell retrieved by Jin Mu from Shaman Choi's belongings which controls the soul shifters. By "controlling", it also means Jin Mu was able to dictate who to kill just like he instructed Mudeok to kill Jin Woo Tak.

I think it's good that the Hong sisters partnered with director Park Joon Hwa. Comparing the comedy of Hotel del Luna and AoS, comedy here is on a different level. Director PJH really brings out the right execution of timing and delivery for romance and comedy. I admire this director since his past works.

Lol! I also thought when he saw his red jade glowing, he would run aka flash but didnt!

Might be. I hope not.

He's not? What happened to CP's mother?

I think Park Jin thinks Jang Uk didnt mourn properly for Naksu and this prohibits JU to move on.. PJ wants JU to confirm that Naksu already petrified through Sang Ho (Songrim's 2nd in command) and move on in life. If JU still feel like dying after recounting what happened to Mudeok, PJ would rather feed him with his bad tasting dish than see him die.

I think thats possible. Seeing clips for ep4, Jang Uk is being nice to JBY, holding her hand and examining her nails. So I guess, he already has some hints.

I see the parallelism is much needed for Part 2 so we could slowly have the transition in Naksu's character from Part 1 to Part 2 and still root for Naksu despite the change in face. Otherwise, it would feel so abrupt and it's like forcing the audience to swallow the new but not so new character. It's not repetition.

Lets take the case of the Queen. We know that the original Queen's soul is both present in Parts 1 and 2, but didnt show any parallelism (I understand that she's just a supporting character so less screen time). The point is that it seems like there's no connection from Part 1. Seeing the Queen acting like that felt like she's a totally different person. I cannot sympathize with her dilemma. I was expecting that she was a warm-hearted person just like his son, the CP, but no. She's just frustrated all the time. She doesnt have any interaction with his own son. I cannot feel that she's the original queen prior to the soul shifting with Shaman Choi.

So I salute how the writers and the directors handle the transition for our leads. 😊

I crack whenever I see CP raising one of his eyebrows and asking himself rhetorical questions. He's so charming. 😁

I dont think so.. I took as it is. She just remembered that piece of memory and made a conclusion from that.

Lol!

I took it as it is. She only remembered that piece about their conversation about the jades and nothing more. About the last line, maybe that was her conclusion from that piece of memory.

Theres a drought. Need to conserve water from doing laundry, bathing, etc. This prevents Uk from bathing 3x a day. Maybe he loves the nature too much? 😁

Just my guess: Uk will get flustered and will walk away after the kiss. He'll take out his red jade. He misses Mudeok but the kiss seems familiar. He wont be able to sleep well. Morning comes, he'll give a little of his energy to the red jade to light it, then realizes the blue jade is somewhere. He follows the energy of the blue jade. At long last, behold, he finds himself at front of the girl of his dreams, Soon Yi (Heo Yoon Ok's maid). 😜

I love GYJ's super modulated voice from the get go. :)

Jang Uk was holding both jades the whole scene when he was comforting Mudeok's jealousy. But he also asked if Mudeok wanted to eat something. So im really hoping he was able to return the blue jade to her wherever they went after that scene.

Who might the witness be? Jang family's helper? Master Lee? Or the water grotesque? Haha 😁

He's busy farming and cooking. 😆

I'm inclined to agree with u!

Maybe this type of genre is just not your cup of tea. Maybe u enjoy more slice of life dramas. If thats the case, pls dont spread hate anymore because ur prohibiting the enjoyment of thousands of watchers. Go express your love and support for the dramas you are enjoying. I frequently see your hate comments and it's not good for the readers. Each of us has the freedom to be entertained. We find comfort in watching dramas as an escape from stressful reality. If something is not entertaining for you, it might not be the case for everyone else. We all have different tastes and we should respect that.
