#Jang uk got the rizz

[gossamerorigins]

Truth.

[gossamerorigins]

So apparently they trialed different choreography for Jang Uk kissing Buyeon's wrist and MY GOOD PEOPLE WE WERE ROBBED

[gossamerorigins]

Ju-Wol: Ooh, somebody has a crush!

Mudeok: Tch. I don't have a crush on Jang Uk. I just think he’s cool. It's not like I stay up at night thinking about him.

*Later that night*

Mudeok, very much awake: Uh oh.

[gossamerorigins]

[gossamerorigins]

I love this man's range. Here, he's cool and physical. But he's also this stuttering dork:

And yes to both.

[gossamerorigins]

so true

[gossamerorigins]

Alchemy of Souls EVERYWHERE YASSSSS

[gossamerorigins]

I’m just saying that I frequently use the tags “Jang uk got the rizz” and “Lee Jae wook knew exactly what he was doing.”

You know, whenever I see that AoS season 2 ep6 kiss scene I always think...

Whether it was the director's decision... Or did Lee Jae Wook just, simply on impulse, decide that- let me just keep my eyes half lidded open and look at her while I kiss her so that the kiss becomes 10x more hotter and they never forget it for the rest of their lives.

What do you guys think?

[gossamerorigins]

Personally I think foreplay is very important. It hits better if you preface it with the scene where he bites her bracelet off and scolds her mother, and the one where he pulls her out of the bath, and the one where he wakes up from dreaming she’s Mudeok and kisses her.

I'm asking you, because I know that you'll give me a totally unbiased answer.

Is it OK to rewatch Alchemy of Souls part 2 just for the scene where Jang Uk pushes Jin Buyeon against a wall and makes out?

Yes of course. Isn't that what everyone does?

You also have to appreciate the irony of everyone saying their marriage is entirely platonic whilst they push each other against walls. Very important. Key to enjoyment.

Yul! Your main problem - being from the wrong family - is Jang Uk’s problem too, but he figures it out. You are literally the only person she knows who isn’t using her. She carries your whistle for a decade. She says - repeatedly - that she thinks you are the attractive one. In any other version of this story you are the hero. HOW did you fumble this!?

Seo Yul fr treated a teenage crush like a 20 year long marriage but like,,, if a pretty older girl with a sword treated MY injury then proceeded to indulge in MY lame ass hobby for the rest of the season I also would never get over her

[gossamerorigins]

See I went into canon technicalities when I read this... we hear from Jin Mu and the eunuch that you can alchemy across genders, but that the greater the dissimilarity between the original body and the new one, the faster you'll run wild. A male body would not have been as accommodating for Naksu.

Of course, the only reason she didn't run wild in that body was because Jin Seol-ran was in it. This means that the male body would ALSO have to have Jin Seol-ran in it, which means you're now contradicting Jinyowon's female inheritance practices.

Ultimately, though, what matters is this: Jang Uk would find Cho Yeon's soul regardless of the body it inhabited, and he would happily boink it wherever he found it.

Ah just thought of a what if... that what if instead of transferring to a women's body naksu accidently transfers her soul into a man's body. And well even that body is not as strong so the struggles are still there but now they also include a different gender troubles as well. (yes this ignores most of the later plot points but eh 🤷🏻‍♀️)

This just makes the story much more confusing and comedic. Naksu has to get her body back, navigate manly things/issues or whatever AND also uncovered the conspiracy. Then there's Janguk who has to deal with questioning his sexuality and also try to match with naksu's training, her(his) background and help naksu uncover the conspiracy.

Oh and all those around them being put in utter panic or chaos when these two get close. The headservant(?) legit faints many times. His friends question their whole life because naksu is still a charmer. Crown prince is in shambles always having to justify his actions doubly with this naksu lol

AHHH then season two happens.

Now they have a reverse problem... hehe

[gossamerorigins]

Also assumed the whole thing was a love nest.

Jang Uk’s Danhyanggok era will never not be iconic, I mean. After YEARS of trying to become a Songrim Mage this man really:

Went “Gwanju? What’s a Gwanju? I only know doing chores for my wife 🥰”

Got so into doing chores that said wife threw a knife at him and attempted arson

At which point, he told her to he didn’t need her and to fuck off out of his life.

Then turned around and returned to cooking her dinner. What even

After learning she had actually left he immediately went “but why did she leave 🥺” as if that’s not exactly what he said to do. My absolute GUY

Upon dragging her drunk ass home, learns he’s the other man

Made an implied a promise to train again so he could take up a tree

Went back on his word the next ass morning

Jang Uk I love your mind I really do

[tansu-bomb]

The fact that Jang Uk’s first instinct upon seeing her extended hand — whilst knowing full well in that moment that she’s manipulating him — is to kiss it.

It makes me giddy that his subconscious response to her “I like you” confession is to simply kiss her. That too sooooo early on S2. Like, they just met and there’s no denying that he’s insanely attracted to her.

*** Jang Uk’s fetish for her hands ***

So apparently they trialed different choreography for Jang Uk kissing Buyeon's wrist and MY GOOD PEOPLE WE WERE ROBBED

You're not wrong at all!!! 😂😘

Jang Uk got the rizz since season 1.

I still think that kiss was completely Lee Jae Wook's decision because he really did know what he was doing 🤣.
