The first weekend without AOS & I don’t know what to do with my life… every other drama is boring after this masterpiece came out. Now I’m empty ㅜㅜ

I love jang uk/cho yeong aka jae wook & youn jung 😩❤️‍🔥

They are literally made for each other, their chemistry on and off stage is impactful 🥺🔥🐢

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

WOMAN OF DIGNITY

GENRES: Drama

SUMMARY: Going from a maid to madam of the house requires research, planning, and a whole lot of revenge.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Knitted vests, criminal records, face slaps, cheating husbands (and wives), genius children, wet cats, sake-infused baths, meditation cults, brunch fistfights, cold-weather golf, art dealers, illegal banchan kitchens, revenge, pop-art mistresses, and an unexpected amount of toilet tissue business sense.

HOT TAKE: This show is a hot chaebol garbage fire and I love it. It's got a real ‘Hush up, Grandma’s watching her stories’ vibe, but like in the best way possible. Related: I will never cease to be in awe of what a tall drink of water Lee Ki Woo is.

Don't think this show is for you? Try these drinking games instead: Drinking Game #1: Take a shot every time someone calls Woo Ah-Jin pretty or gorgeous or stunning. Drinking Game #2: Take a shot every time Woo Ah-Jin spends too much time on screen applying Lancome products. Trust me, you'll be wasted before the end of Episode 3.

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)!
