i don't understand...what was wrong with Ookimi Kikoe's eyes? why were they green? and why did they turn brown in ep 7?

I really enjoyed Tempest and learning more about Okinawan culture. Now I want to visit Okinawa in the future. Okinawa was also featured in Scent of a Woman (korean drama).

I heard they're making sequel or a movie version (can't remember which)? Can't wait.
