Jin Ho-kyung is the worst mother ever! #AlchemyOfSouls

In the first season, she failed to understand that #Mudeok is her daughter. No matter how many clues she had!

S02:
- she keeps her daughter in solitary confinement

- she want to merry her daughter to a stranger

- she only intent to use Naksu to get a female hire

- after she used Naksu as a kind of birthing machine, she want's to put her in solitary confinement for the rest of her live

Thats pretty dark! #Kdrama #AlchemyOfSoulsS2

@axolotl I really enjoy how #folklore - #fairytale #tropes are used effectively in this show. #Muedeok is the unrecognized #lostchild & the #cleverservant.
Jin Ho-kyung is the #BadMother - #Witch, whose poor choices undermine her love.
This season, Muedeok-Naksu, is again the unrecognized loved one. Instead of a servant role, she is now the trapped naive magical princess using her skills to find her protector-lost love.
Totally different tone this season in terms of dynamics.
