A K-drama that should be part of your must-watch list. For me, Alchemy of Souls is one of the best period dramas you’ll ever watch. I enjoyed watching Alchemy of Souls season 1 because of the humor and beautiful OSTs. This drama will not only make you annoyed but will also make you burst of laughter. Moreover, the chemistry between the casts is the best wherein you’ll uncontrollably laugh and root for them. While watching this drama I can’t help but be amazed by Jung So-min because she really portrayed Mu Deok-i excellently. I personally find her accent the cutest and loved how small she looks beside Jang Uk. Their character development is one of the best and I like how you’ll sometimes doubt Mu Deok-i’s actions and intentions then appreciate her afterwards. Trust me you’ll not only like the main leads but you will certainly love and enjoy the side character’s story and romance as well. The ending of Alchemy of Souls season 1 left me speechless because I though I’ll finally get the happy ending they all deserve but nope because things just get chaotic towards the end, which gives us way for season 2.
I personally loved the first season more but don’t get me wrong because Alchemy of Souls season 2 is also incredible, which makes it worth the watch. I highly recommend watching its second season because only then you’ll get your answers to your questions about the ending of season 1. I guess what I loved about the first season is the humor Mu Deok-i posses and a lot of the funny scenes that’s in the first season. On the other hand, what I loved about season 2 is the undeniably chemistry between Go Yoon-jung and Lee Jae-wook, wherein in every scenes they just have this strong tension. Furthermore, in Alchemy of Souls season 2 you’ll even more appreciate the Crown Prince and empathize more with Hwang Min-hyun’s character. The ending was satisfying and finally a happy ending we all deserve. In the end, Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2) is a wonderful K-drama for you to binge-watch. Indeed, a highly recommended one!! <333
