Alchemy of Souls (Seasons 1 & 2)

Year : 2022 | Country : KR | Nb of episodes: 30

My rate: 9/10

Synopsis :

Set in a fictional country called Daeho that does not exist in history or on maps, it is about the love and growth of young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the "alchemy of souls", which allows souls to switch bodies.

It follows the story of an elite assassin named Naksu, whose soul is accidentally trapped inside the weak body of Mu Deok—Jang Uk's servant from a powerful and noble mage family in the country. The young master of the Jang Family, Jang Uk, holds a dark secret about his scandalous birth. He wants the formidable assassin to help change his destiny.

Main cast :

Lee Jae Wook as Jang Uk

Jung So Min as Mu Deok

Hwang Min Hyun as Seo Yul

Shin Sung Ho as Go Won

Yoo Joon Sang as Park Jin

Oh Na Ra as Kim Do Ju

Arin as Jin Cho Yeon

Yoo In Soo as Park Dang Gu

Go Youn Jung as Naksu/Cho Yeong/ Jin Bu Yeon

My thoughts on this drama :

I hadn't loved a Korean drama so much in ages. Wow! Everything is so so good in this one. The casting is amazing, for both seasons. Although I understand their choice to switch actresses for the main lead in season two, it still felt a bit jarring at first.

The story is fantastic, and the actors all aced their roles. The season two felt like the opposite to season one (Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow is the subtitle of the season/part 2). It was sometimes a bit hard to follow, but the story is amazing and very satisfying.

A Favorite ?

YES

Alchemy of Souls. Season 1-2 7/8

Story: 7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 6-10

Comparable to: Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (kdrama); Ever Night (cdrama)

Oof this is such a hard one to judge. In some aspects I totally love this and other aspects I wanted to throw my remote at my screen. I was more of a season one was ten times better then then season two type of person. For one thing different female leads. Who in their right minds decides to write out Jung So Min and cast someone different! Don’t get me wrong, Go Young Jung is an okay actress, but when you have already shot 20 episodes of a drama with a character and an actress who had an amazing chemistry with the main lead it’s hard to replace it with someone new. Nevertheless that was strike one for me, strike two was the change of pace of everything, it felt draggy and repetitive, the tired old cliche memory loss trope didn’t help either. I did watch season 2 just with the fast forward button, since season one was amazing and I wanted to see how everything would be wrapped up. Was I disappointed slightly, yeah slightly, but overall it was still not bad, season one left a pretty darn good impression.

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)

This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.

The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.

These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.

I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.

The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.

This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.

I look at this and I'm thinking it's Sixth Sense meets Village Survival? I won't even need subtitles to enjoy a show like that (but please post it with subtitles anyway)!

The sky didn't fall in, and everything on earth was there. The world was the same as yesterday. The only thing that has changed is me.

EVILIVE 악인전기 (2023) EPISODE 5

[larrikin-is-a-himbo]

Things I loved about "All of us are dead" in no particular order

Realistic portrayal of how teenagers would act during an apocalypse

Dumbass ideas but ingenious creativity

Ready to throw down at anytime

How the ugliest side of classism comes out during the midst of a crisis

The found family stays together and don't go their own ways after the disaster has been resolved.

The female friendships. The sibling relationships. The male friendships. It was so so well portrayed and so many good examples of how one should be.

The euphemism of using a Zombie Apocalypse to portray how society and elders and adults constantly let down the younger generation, leaving them to fend for themselves, ultimately leading to the new generation turning bitter. But ultimately the ones im power are either completely unaware of the consequences of their actions, or they do not care.
