The Great Seer Episode 2

The main happenings of Episode 2 were really just the birth of two main characters: Ji Sang (Ji Sung) and Jung Geun (Song Chang Ui). However, other interesting things to note.

After some intense battling at the "Woodi" tribe, the highlight was of course when Lee Sung Kye magnificiantly jumped in the air and shot that arrow!

Two new characters appear (or one, the other appeared briefly in episode 1) and are quite important. Moohak the Monk (Ahn Kil Kang), or many might know him as Chil Sook, Mishil's loyal bodyguard in Queen Seon Deok. He is a great monk who studied in China and is the teacher of Hyo-Myung and Dong Hyun. He is also of great support to Ji Sang. On the right we have Hyo-Myung who we saw earlier in episode 1. He is outstanding in Feng Shui and geography and professor at 書云觀 （astronomy school in the palace). Later will become Ji Sang's teacher. So we can already see how two such influential people will shape Ji Sang's life (and many more to come).

And goodbye to the Head-Priestess. I don't know why, but their position is the envy of many which leads to the deaths of many Head-Priestess's in many saeguks.

Couple costumes for the evil duo, no?

In order to save Dong Ryun and their child and herself, Young Ji marries Lee In Im.

This was the scene which had me going "What kind of way is this to give birth!?" I mean seriously, of all dramas I've watched with birth scenes in them, the mother was lying down. But these two are sitting? I don't know maybe it's less painful that way (But they both seemed to be in pain!) Or maybe the baby comes out easier that way...by force of gravity? Beats me.

I really liked that last scene where tension and trepidation build up when Lee In Im bursts through one door to another to grab Young Ji's child, but each time to see she is not there. Then, in the last scene, we know it's this room and we know that the child is probably safe and sound but it's because of this knowledge the atmosphere is  heightened.  And there we see Young Ji, looking nonchalant as she works on her embroidery. Nice.
