⭐ Alchemy of Souls is a grand, ambitious fantasy romance — visually stunning, emotionally engaging, and richly imaginative. Despite a few uneven spots, it succeeds in creating a full, magical universe with memorable characters and deep emotional resonance.
Alchemy of Souls isn’t just about magic — it’s about identity, love, and redemption.
It shows that even when souls change bodies, the heart remembers. ❤️‍🔥

The alchemist

This series is made by an alchemist master it has everything and more, fantasy✔️, drama✔️, Action✔️, comedy✔️, romance✔️, Anything else you might have thought of it is here.
And with a perfect acting cast where every single one is doing his bit form the main actor to that random jewellery shop owner on the corner.
Also a well done ending for the first session that suits the story build.
I had nothing to say but perfection 👌🏽.

Se prepara pra chorar!

É meu dorama favorito de toda vida, eu amo como tudo acontece no seu tempo, amo como o Uk conseguiu atingir os objetivos dele e superar os obstáculos com a unica pessoa que ele confiava pra poder ajudá-lo a forma como eles se apaixonaram pra mim foi tudo tão leve!! Jang Uk e Naksu foram épicos em todos os sentidos, a morte do Uk foi a que eu mais chorei em todos os doramas que ja assisti, quando eu reassisti, chorei como se fosse a primeira vez, sinto que depois que esse dorama acabou fiquei com um vazio imenso dentro do meu coração, senti isso em ambas temporadas e se eu perdesse minha memória iria desejar assistir eles de novo

A Beautiful Escape Full of Magic, Loyalty & Heart

I’ve rewatched Alchemy of Souls: Season One multiple times now — and it still gives me chills. From the very first episode, I was hooked. The storyline is action-packed, exciting, and full of twists, but what truly sets it apart is the heart behind it all.

The chemistry between the entire cast is phenomenal — especially the main leads, who brought a mix of tension, playfulness, and deep emotion to every scene. You could really feel their bond evolve, and it made their journey so immersive and believable.

But it wasn’t just about romance. I loved how the friendship between the main group was portrayed — honest, loyal, and supportive. In a world where envy and betrayal are so common, it was refreshing (and healing) to see characters who genuinely wanted the best for one another. No backstabbing, no jealousy — just real friendship in a fantasy setting.

And maybe that’s what made this drama so special to me. It gave me a chance to escape from the harshness of the real world. A fantasy shouldn’t be too realistic — it should feel like stepping into a different universe where love, loyalty, and magic can still exist. Alchemy of Souls did exactly that.

Highly recommend to anyone who wants a drama that goes beyond action and romance — this one touches the soul.

Must watch

Great drama with on going suspense in every episode . If you’re fan of those majestic and creative fiction stories , this is the best choice .
The world that this show created is magnificent, you’ll feel yourself living a new experience with deferent characters not just the main one . Actually that what I loved the most , the fact that we were introduced to different characters and their stories in one show , it is amazing .
I originally watched the show because of the cast , too many great actors in one fame , and it worked .
Lee Jae-wook was the best choice ever for the main lead , he pulled that role amazingly , delivered every emotion and let us be his fans .
Jung so-min was soooo good , she’s is fantastic .
Globally , this show contains every thing , drama , action , romance and even comedy

Great!

Cast was amazing and all did a great job. The chem between the leads was great and the other actors were just as good. I also really liked the side actors like Hwan Min Hyun, who did a great job. Overall the show was good, but near the end, i was lowkey starting to feel like it was a chore to finish, but either way the plot was great and so was the story.

Pleasantly surprised

I usually dont watch historical dramas even Mr.Queen was quite boring for me but this one was too good and it was all i was thinking about for a week while watching it. Honestly every character had such an important role at some point and every person was good and bad just at some point.

Jank uk and Mu deok banter and chaos, the trio friendship and Park jin and mainservant kim relation was soo perfect i was rooting for them too

Only if they had better ost it would have made it much much better
Other than i would 100% recommend it forever and gonna rewatch it
I just wish i could watch it for the first time already😭😭

An Epic Story Worth Watching

From the very first episode, this drama completely had me hooked. The story is such an addictive mix of fantasy, mystery, romance, action and comedy and it never once felt boring or dragged out.
The pacing flowed so well, revealing each part of the story piece by piece in a way that often blew my mind, it was logical, exciting and just so fun to watch.
The world-building and magic system felt fresh and creative, I loved how everything actually made sense within the story. Every single episode ended with that perfect cliffhanger that made me want to hit “next” right away, so it was honestly hard to stop watching once I started.
The chemistry between Jung So-min and Lee Jae-wook was absolutely perfect and their interactions always felt so natural. Even the side characters had their own charm and depth making it easy to get attached to everyone.
Each character had their own story that fit into the bigger picture, so nothing ever felt unnecessary.
By the end, I realized I was so invested that some moments really hit me emotionally.
This drama is definitely one of those rare shows I’d call a favorite, and I already know it’s one I’ll go back and rewatch someday. No wonder everyone praises this drama so much, it truly feels perfect in so many ways.

Review for Season 1 and 2 together.

Alchemy of Souls Part 1 and 2 are spectacular productions. This is a character driven fantasy Korean drama that has very well choreograph action scenes, conspiracy galore, great CGI’s, beautiful costumes, comedy, and a story of steadfast love and support from the leading couple as well as the friendship among the young generation of mages. The chemistry among the main characters is fantastic as well as the dynamics of the older mages which many times deliver many comedic moments. Alchemy of Souls has an original story line from the famous Hong sisters with many twists and turns, modern styles (costumes and hairstyles), references to pop culture, and a great OST. The entire drama would’ve have been better if season 2 was integrated with season 1 creating just one drama and viewers would not have been disappointed with some changes. The leading lady on season 2 did very well bringing her character to life as she was Naksu in the beginning of season 1, which I particularly agree with bringing her back with her own semblance, but the amnesia plot weakened her magnificent warrior aura. The second season is more about Uk and Naksu’s love story. Overall, even though this drama has n blend of genres (action, mystery, revenge, comedy,…), the drama is about Uk and Naksu’s relationship as Master and Pupil that evolves into a beautiful love story among the mayhem of a fantastical plot and the antagonists underhanded tactics to bring them down. This drama (Part 1 and 2) is very entertaining, enjoy it!
