Summary
Cheon Tae-san is a scholar with a unique specialty, rehabilitating the "Trash" of the Martial Arts world. He rose to fame by successfully reforming the most notorious, hopeless scoundrels in the Murim. However, behind his reputation lies a tragic fate. Born with the Heavenly Martial Body, a physique that is both a blessing and a curse, Tae-san is living on borrowed time. To extend his short lifespan, he must gather the Seven Star Primal Energy. But when his path crosses with a mysterious figure possessing the Glacial Body, Tae-san finds himself drawn closer to the dark, hidden truths of the Murim.

... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
