Furthermore, through the Shaman’s instrument, a bell can help you take over a shifted soul’s body. And only a shifted soul can listen to the tune of the bell. He took over Mu Deok’s body as soon as Park Dong Gu and Jin Cho Yeon were getting married.

Mu Deok fought Park Dong Gu and Jin Cho Yeon and killed Jin Cho Yeon’s father Jin U Tak, just as Jin Mu wanted. She even killed Jang Uk, and after gaining back her consciousness she couldn’t believe what she had done. The scene where she momentarily escapes possession and starts crying is one to be carved in stones. Fast forward to the ending, the funeral of Jang Uk was being held and Naksu was facing the fate that all rampages souls faced, drowning in the magical lake.

Then BOOM Jang Uk’s body comes out of the fire completely fine. And Mu Deok could be seen being carried out of the water of the lake by two mysterious women. In fact, the women did not look like humans but like mystical creatures. Fans even theorize that they were mages from Jin’s kingdom.
