Alchemy of Souls Season 2: Light and Shadow

Unforgettable

Im really hoping for a season 3, 4, 5 infinityyyyy, this series is one of tge best kdaramas ive watched so far
I love everything from the lore to the customs, the acting was really great by the entire cast, the original soundtrack is to die for I could listen to it all day everyday, the plot was good although confusing at certain times but all in all good, the romance / bromance / humor / friendships and chemistry was on point with every single of the cast, the vfx was amazing I wish there was more though and finally
I hope they can make similar series to this, this gère is extremely addictive ❤️

A worthy sequel!

Wow, how can I express my words in this, I cant fathom how wonderful this show was!

Surprisingly I love the the new actress of the FL. She is a brilliant actor that is for sure. Well, all cast did great too!

The magic is still in there. Nostalgic and memorable. Good denouement of the plot. Impressive storytelling. No questions left unanswered and that ending is a strawberry on the top of the cake! Yes, I like the ending. The girls that get it, get it.

And I for sure can not compare the two seasons because each of them have its owns weaknesses and strength. There are things that I love in season one that don't have in season 2 and things that I like in season two that don't have in season one.

Might rewatch this from the beginning. the 30 episodes is not a hindrance to start this series, yes 100% recommendable.

Oh love the music too but S1 music >>> S2 music. <3

I'm just shocked by how the fan theories came true. The writers were so clever, so intriguing, that they forced the fans to think up simply incredible outcomes and the most positive ones came true. Because of the expectation and confirmation of exactly this outcome, there wasn't even any intrigue and it was predictable, somehow, although a sad outcome would have also been predictable and everyone was mentally trying to prepare themselves for the worst development. Personally, I'm surprised by this coincidence, as if the writers read our comments and were like "damn, good idea, let's do as they say", but thank God we didn't have to suffer. However, we were really baited with the coffins, I was a little shocked and even cried when they sealed the gates, and look at that, well... at least here the surprise was a success. And everyone missed Naxx's previous character, but the changes in her seem logical to me. Firstly, after her revival, she was brought up in a new way and it is clear that this will bear fruit, secondly, she began to soften at the end of the 1st season, thirdly, she learned that the one who raised her since childhood is still a bastard, that he was messing with her mind about her parents, that her fate is so lousy because of him, “a dog can bite from a dog's life”, so it no longer made sense for her to hold a grudge against the whole world, especially since she realized how much harm she had done, she was a killer for a second, and naturally then she felt guilty, which, no matter how you look at it, leads to a rethinking and change in worldview, fourthly, she experienced love, which she had never known before, went through a kind of psycho-love therapy and closed the gestalts, well, damn, how can you not change here. Although, personally, I managed to overlook her former character, especially after the restoration of memory, just as persistent, stubborn and mischievous. Well, thank you all, hurray to everyone, congratulations, we survived!

A MASTERPIECE WORTH WATCHING

The journey of almost 7 months with AOS has been truly memorable. Now that it has come to an end, it feels so empty.
As I had mentioned in my review for season 1, this drama is just PERFECT and even this season didn't disappoint me with its excellent story line, cinematography, cast, music, EVERYTHING!
Go Yoon Jung portrayed her role as Jin Bu-yeon and Yeong so beautifully and I was all in for it. The dark side of Jang uk with the little mixture of softness was something to look forward to! Their chemistry is INSANE, TRUST ME! After soo long I could feel that the love that the leads share onscreen is BEAUTIFUL, just beautiful nothing else! My heart fluttered in all of their scenes together. Literally no one beats this couple and I was (will always be) all in for it! Kim DoJu, my favourite character throughout! Even though her role wasn't that much, I really really loved her little love story with Park Jin! They have to be my favourites<3. Seo Yul, Dangu, Cho Yeon, Seja Joha, Mama Jin, Master Lee (and ofc uri kkobugi the turtle!).. ALL OF THEM, they have my entire heart! Sad that it has ended and wouldn't get to see them, but happy that they were a part of this fantastic series!
About the story, I'M FULLY SATISFIED WITH IT. I truly think these 10 extended episodes did full justice to the series and I really want to thank the writers and the production team for this! People did criticise it a lot (still do) but for me, it was EXCELLENT! For me, the ending was PERFECT and it couldn't have been any better! After all the ups and downs, all the longing, all the heartbreaks, all the characters finally got what they deserved.
The OSTs! What a song Blue Flower is! I remember getting goosebumps while listening to it for the very first time. I loved how Lia's voice perfectly suited the song(she should get the attention she deserves). I even cried while listening to 'I'm sorry' by Ailee. True that I didn't understand the meaning of the song first but the emotions with which it is sung is MARVELOUS. All the other Osts too were exceptionally amazing!
Now that I've completed watching AOS2, I'm left with mixed emotions. I was rooting for this drama since it's announcement. The journey with it has been thrilling. Right from the first episode of the season one, till the last episode of season two, this series has ruled my heart and I know it will continue to do so for a very long time. From waiting for the premiere of season one to waiting for the finale of season two, this series has not once disappointed me. Hong sisters wrote the greatest love story to ever exist! They showed the world the meaning of true love! True love is not only about loving the body, but falling in love with the soul! It is loving the person inside out. They didn't disappoint us with the ending and I will thank them again and again for this!
All the praises for this drama will fall short. Every word will fail to describe the beauty of it. Alchemy of Souls is that drama which will remain in my heart FOREVER. Nothing could ever describe my love for this. For me, it was not just a drama, it was an emotion. Gonna miss it so so so muchh :(((
All I want to say is that don't miss out on this masterpiece. It's one of a kind and won't disappoint you.
Now i'll go and rewatch it right from the season one♡

BEST SEASON!

BEST SEASON. I will start by saying this because so many people trash on it but shut up! It’s perfect.


First of all, Jang Uk is hot as fuck in this. Powerful, badass, husband material. The things this man says and does… holy shit. I was SCREAMING. Fuck, I’m in love. I don’t think anyone will come close to this and how do I move on???? Like. HOW? He was a puppy in the first season but in this one he was A MAN.


Now, the elephant in the room… Naksu (or her thousand other names) and the "new" actress—MY LOVEEEEE. If you don’t like her, that's your problem, leave me alone!!! I want a thousand more episodes with her!!! She’s PERFECT. I honestly could not get enough of her. So cute. And she’s not less strong for letting go of her sword! She’s just a girl, man. She was never an assassin for the sake of it, she was manipulated! She never wanted a life like that and she CHANGED her destiny. She forgave herself and moved on from the things she did, and that’s true strength! If you can’t see that, then I’m sorry for you. Naksu deserved to be in her own (beautiful) body.


And yes, they have insane chemistry. I actually prefer this season to the first in terms of chemistry and romance. And this makes it my favorite season. SO ROMANTIC. So much yearning!!!! AAAAAAAAA. I love, love everything about it. I wish there was MORE.


I gotta mention it again, JANG UK. My man was SO FINE this season. And of course, SEO YUL. GREAT ACTING. GREAT CHARACTER. My baby I love him to death. SO MUCH. He deserved to find love, I wish there was an arc for that.


This season concluded the story and it ties everything in a satisfying way.

Alchemy of Souls is, today, my favorite show ever. Don’t know if anything will ever top this perfect feeling.

why so many bad reviews?

strangly, so many hateful comments and reviews towards FL. who have we become? i really enjoy the character growth in this SS2 childish Uky has grown up and I really fall in love, Go Youn Jung portray « one sided love » very well.
so where all the hate reviews coming from?

The story is reset and restart, it’s fresh delivered for the new FL. she is cute and did the new Naksu character very well. imagine Naksu without a revenge? she would think ordinary, falling in love like an ordinary person and Go Youn Jung delivers. I don’t get bored watching her at all, she’s geogous!

Jang Uk in this season is mature, I was very annoyed in SS1 because he acted like a baby all the time. so I’m glad to see the character development after the « losing » experience.

Love it 💕
