This is unfortunately a common scenario in Kdramas, where we start with the female lead as the main character, but she gradually takes a back seat to the journey of the male lead. (See W and While You Were Sleeping for two examples off the top of my head. I still loved those dramas! And I love Alchemy of Souls. But I've seen this kind of switch before.)

OMG this was my gripe too while watching episode 12/13! I was like where is Mudeok's/Naksu's "power" progression, and now we're waiting for episode 17 already and MD is still the doe-eyed maid of Jang Uk, running errands for him and "protecting" him and all. I know from teasers, seems like she'll be picking up the sword soon, but I think kinda late (IMO) and also really too bad the writing didn't capitalize on both of their journeys to become ultimate Masters - that would be really nice!

I think I heard some new songs in the this week's few episodes (correct me if I am wrong)?The songs sound awesome! Hope to get my hands on them soon!
