Bulgasal: Immortal Souls

In 1867, Sin Jae Hyo leads the Dongrijungsa, which teaches pansori (traditional Korean musical storytelling). A young girl, Chae Seon, who wants to perform pansori, appears in front of him. Chae Seon has dreamed of performing pansori since she first heard Sin Jae Hyo perform when she was little, but Sin Jae Hyo turns her down because women are not allowed to perform pansori. Chae Seon then disguises herself as a man and enters the Dongrijungsa to learn pansori, but Sin Jae Hyo doesn’t accept her as his student. One day, he hears Daewongun, the most powerful man in Joseon and the father of the King, is going to hold a national competition of pansori performers known as “Naksungyeon”. Sin Jae Hyo decides to teach Chae Seon, who has a true voice to perform “Chunhyangga". If anyone finds out that Chae Seon is a woman, Sin Jae Hyo and Chae Seon will both face death.

While Bulgasal: Immortal Souls only has 2 episodes out at the moment, the feeling I get from watching this is similar to when I watched Arthdal Chronicles. I believe this was mainly due to the setting, and the fantasy aspect to it.

In Bulgasal, there is a curse and there are these monsters. However in Arthdal, it's a different species / race and the settings both border on this fantasy aspect. Plus the action scenes to me are similar.

I know that's not a lot in common, but who knows! With the progression of the show the similarities could become greater.

Both are about monsters/immortal beings. Bulgasal is more action/drama focused with a much darker overall tone whereas a korean odyssey is more fluffy but still touches on subjects such as death and the ups and downs when mortals meet with immortals.

Based on episode 1 - Both dramas have a similar fantasy genre/cinematography/atmosphere. If you liked Arthdal Chronicles you may also like the style of these 2 dramas.

The series tells the story of a man-turned-immortal, Bulgasal, who wants revenge from a woman with a mysterious past and present, who he deems responsible for his immortality and miseries from the past 600 years, hoping to free himself from his curse.

Both MLs are formally humans who were turned into monsters against their will, searching for the one who turned them a century or more later. Both FLs have very difficult lives but are strong characters. Both dramas have beautiful cinematography and feel like a dark fairytale.

Both drama revolves around what happened in the past and resolving those problems in the present time while also all the people involve are reincarnated in the present..

It is believed that when a person dies, their soul spends 49 days in Jungcheon, or Purgatory before their eternal fate is decided - heaven, hell or rebirth. That's where accomplished demon hunter Yi Kwak finds himself as he lies on the edge of death in our world. Blessed with astounding swordsmanship and the uncanny ability to see the evil spirits invisible to most, Yi enlisted with the royal squad of elite demon exterminators, the Chuhyongdae, following his fiancee's tragic death. In Jungcheon, he finds Yon Hwa again, but she does not recognize him - she is a spirit of the afterlife now, severed from earthly memories. Moreover, she is deeply entangled in a great war between the white-clad warriors of reincarnation and a swarm of dark spirits determined to forever shatter the cycle of life and death. The battle is desperately close to a terrifying conclusion, so Yi must draw his sword to defend the woman he loves and all they hold dear - and confront the same soul that was once like a father to him.

One day, Morikawa Natsumi suffers an accident. Unable to be seen or speak to anyone, she becomes a ghost wandering the streets. She's shocked when she finally manages to make eye contact with a young man -- Ichijo Ryouei, a handsome heir and fellow ghost also drifting through the city. This is the prequel to the "Memory Arc" and "Love Arc", depicting the irreplaceable days Natsumi and Ryouei spent together after their first fateful meeting in the afterlife, along with the relentless pursuit of the Grim Reaper chasing them. This is an original story not found in the webtoon.

The only similarity is that they are reincarnated lovers and both think that the other one destroyed their family.
Both dramas are very very different from each other except the reasons above. While bulgasal is a revenge, suspense, thriller drama with a little bit of Melo and romance, "from now on showtime" is a rom-com, lighthearted drama with some ghost and revenge plot.
But both are very interesting drama. Even when Showtime is still on air i recommend it cuz its not looking like it will disappoint it's viewers, and am loving it do much.
