I really never understood how so many people misunderstood Seo Yul so much. Everyone wanted him to be more lively like the other boys but he's fine just the way he is. He's an introverted "teacher's pet" type of person. They exist and no, they're not boring people. He's a stickler for the rules and doesn't like to share his burdens. It's the way he was raised so I never understood why people wanted to hate him for that. It's nice to see characters like that on screen because they resemble so many people in real life who are constantly told to speak more or break a few rules once in a while; constantly told that they're boring and one dimensional when they're not. A "fun" personality doesn't just have to be someone who's always chatty or laughing the loudest. Some people find fun in their own thoughts or surrounded by books and that's okay.
My poor sad boy, you deserve better🥺.

"Honestly impressive to get arrested in [Redacted] City"
This meme is so fun I had to do it with the N3 kids. I even got to do an implied crossover with @kate882's oc universe! Not sure how they got arrested on vacation to visit Lyla, but she'll make sure they won't be in custody for long~ ♥

As an Alchemy of Souls stan, here's my contribution to what I think is an underrated love story in the show. It might be one-sided and unrequited, but it's one of my faves.
A girl from the wrong side of the tracks with Daeho's golden boy, please you know I'm eating this up.
A Seo Yul and So-i edit.

The Mess Jang Gang Left Us With
Citizens of the Republic, Subjects of the Kingdom, Mages of Daeho, and Gentle Readers, it’s time to talk about--
The Mess Jang Gang Left Us With
Part of the Mess is frankly, just unanswered questions:
Such as (but hardly limited to) Why use/attempt to use The Alchemy of Souls in the first place? Ticket me if I’m wrong, but the first time he used the Ice Stone/Alchemy of Souls for sketchy purposes was at the request of Lady Jin to save her dead child in-utero, Jin Bu-Yeon. Ostensibly, a compassionate use of its powers; to save a life. Did he do this for Lady Jin PRIOR to Jang Uk’s conception and birth? b/c Jang Gang seems pretty burnt by the magic he was playing with when we see him following that, and seems to have promptly disappeared following the closing of Uk’s gate of energy.
#outie
It's not a far leap to assume Jang Gang played around with the Alchemy of Souls because the power of it/the challenge of it hooked him. We know he was a magical prodigy. We know he was [among?] the most powerful mage[s], made Gwanju of Daeho, and not yet old. He had accomplished much, but in greed such men often wish to accomplish/possess More.
Subset unanswered question: Who IS Jin Bu-Yeon’s dad? Season One/Part One seemed to state definitively that Cho-Yeon’s dad was not him. Does/Did Jang Gang know? Is there any possibility it could have been Jang Gang?
The main reason Jang Gang’s Mess continues, is that he managed to harm most of our main characters in some way.
Prettiest. Hands Down, Fight Me, Get Out of the Chat if you can’t deal
Kim Do-Joo – unrequited love and decades (despite the fact she loves Uk) of caring for her crush’s child. She watched Jang Gang hurt her beloved Do-Hwa, up and til Do-Hwa died [it’s of a broken heart, fight me, it’s a Much Ado Hero’s death of shame at being accused of adultery], and then she continued to serve the Jang family even as Jang Gang closed up Uk’s gate of energy and abandoned him. Any slight Uk has felt, Kim Do-Joo has felt it, too.
This task has kept her from being able to move on and pursue her own life.
Park Jin – was left with Jang Gang’s responsibility (wrt Uk), attempting to carry out his best friend (and Gwanju’s) wishes, keep his secrets, despite his love and deep affection for Uk.
Because of Kim Do-Joo’s arrested life, as she had to care for Uk as a mother, steward, and chatelaine, he was unable to move on and pursue her fully (and she was unable to be open to this)
Is the treatment of JBY a metaphor for abuse? Um, no. It’s actual abuse.
Jin Bu-Yeon – She was born/reanimated out of some sorcery Jang Gang used with the Ice Stone/Alchemy of Souls. Once born, she appears to have suffered as a pawn of both her mother, stepfather and Jin Mu/half-uncle. While being manipulated by them, she seems to have lost her memory and become Mu-Deok, where she continued to be used, even enslaved—and all that before her mom stuck Naksu’s soul back into her body.
Please note: An invisible fridge is still a fridge.
Do-Hwa. Poor Do-Hwa. How her husband’s rejection of her after that night of passion must have confused and wounded her for nine months. Ignorant of what had transpired, she paid for her husband’s transgression with her life.
Cho-Yeong/Naksu – Here we have a cocktail of blame. And another Unanswered Question: why was her dad replaced w/ a soul shifter, and where was he put? We haven’t seen anything but a switch (not counting the unique co-habitation of two souls in Mu-Deok/Jin Bu-Yeon), not just a simple casting out of one soul. It’s a swap each time. Perhaps her father was swapped to keep his mouth shut. And then the body he was put in was killed. But that’s the thing, we don’t know. Jang Gang’s transgression created the NEED for Uk’s birth star plate to be hidden/disappeared. Which got her father (or at least his body, see Unanswered Question above) killed, along with the rest of her family and their servants/household.
But even this doesn’t solely create the Shadow Assassin. No, it is Jin Mu—the particular creation of Jang Gang--that shapes the rage Cho-Yeong feels. Jin Mu, Jang Gang’s servant and unofficial pupil. The man Jang Gang had to instruct in the Alchemy of Souls in order to get himself free of the King’s dying body.
What? You wouldn’t want to live in it?
It is Jin Mu who finds and Thanoses Cho-Yeong into his personal Gamorra.
Did you see this moment? Baby Cho-Yeong taking Jin Mu’s hand?
Jang Gang’s transgression came at Cho-Yeong from two directions, and it grinds her chance at normalcy and a potential to love and be loved to bits. Because 1. Jang Gang put huge power into the hands of his unofficial pupil [he had to if he wished to escape his self-made predicament] and 2. Jang Gang had to conceal the truth of Uk’s birth in order to first and fore-most protect HIMSELF from what he had done coming to light. That’s right, I’m not giving him the pass that he’s some version of Daeho Dumbledore and everything he does is in service of protecting Harry [we see how well that’s held up in ensuing years].
And then we come to Uk...in the second part of this post.

Anyone else think that mu deok might be the reincarnation or somewhat related to the mage who brought rain to the land of daeho?
I mean look at them
Idk if its been confirmed that the mage was either male or female but to me it would explain how mu deok was recognized as the "ice stone" by the vases in jinyowon
Not to mention that when jang uk saw the REAL mu deok when his soul almost shifted yet after the ritual he woke in his own body
I think that the real mu deok is able to pacify relics and rituals that were made of the ice stone. When she does this she either allows naksu to use her own energy like in the lake and mirror

"i'm loving the leather pants but did you permanently dye your hair green or is it gonna wash off if i decide to use a water hose on you and test it out?" if only she had something equally as bold but for her, she decided to skip most of the photographers and try to go straight to the dinner. the horror theme wasn't something she was entirely comfortable with but didn't want to miss out on the event.

“You cannot grasp water but it is inside the soil. You cannot touch fire but it is inside the tree.
You cannot hold the wind but it is resting on the rock. If you let them be, they will exist everywhere.
The faint, blue light makes me sigh. My white breath turned into snow and tears. I could not let them drop and hid them, despite knowing that they will fill up once again.
I am a fool who dares not shed a single tear.” – Words Of The Heart by Master Seo Gyeong

She turns to look behind her at the sound of DaeHo's voice, watching his eyes narrow as he focuses on Tatsuki's grip on her wrist. She raises her other hand in weak reassurance,
"AH— Dae, this is... We were just talki-"
DaeHo is on them in an instant, grabbing Tatsuki by the collar and lifting him to his toes.
"I don't know what's going on, but you need to get your hands off her."

Alchemy of Souls being like, "Respect your elders? Nah, this batch of elders fucked up. Let's burn it all down and start fresh."
Quite literally.
