Yea, Hong sisters "fame" runs before them, lol. And they're gonna do it again here it seems.

20 episodes of JSM’s stellar acting. But then we’ll have an actress swap for 10 “afterparty” episodes.…
I agree. At least to keep her on our minds more I think the show would have benefited from her presence at least when thinking about something or imagining something. But she probably had all of her scenes shot at the beginning so they didn't even show her as herself while talking to Bu-Yeon inside the ice stone - which really didn't make sense since they were there as souls.

Hi guys o/I thought things would be chaotic around here, glad to know it's not!I hate Korean media with a burning…
It's not just Korean media, it's media in general - they'll do anything for clicks, spoilers be damned. I really hate when people do that - makes watching something less fun.
Dunno how people would have reacted here if the rumor wasn't leaked though. Maybe it would have been crazy here. But right now it's mostly just futile frustration because nothing can be changed anyway, or enthusiasm from GYJ's fans. But I've seen other places are raving crazy, like the twitter. Better not go there for your sanity, lol 😂

To be fair, JSM wasn't given action scenes to shine yet, just one move that doesn't tell much. So you can't really tell whether she'd be good or bad at them.

hope everyone will give gyj a chance and not hate on her/part 2. tbh we weren't even sposed to have jsm at all…
20 episodes of JSM’s stellar acting. But then we’ll have an actress swap for 10 “afterparty” episodes. Will it be just as good without her though?
On Alchemy of Souls Aug 26, 2022
Here's a question - what if there's no FL in part 2 at all?
I mean, questionable information sources aside, those tabloids only spoil everywhere that JSM won't be in part 2 for sure, they've not seen her on set, she initally didn't sign the contract for part 2, yada yada, etc., etc. But where do they get the information that GYJ will be in part 2? Afaik, nobody has seen her on set either and her contract for part 2 also is not confirmed yet. Are they just talking from their asses here? Because they just naturally assume if one actress is out it equals the og actress is in?

In any case, f*ck those tabloids big time for spoiling the plot 👿. And I hope Naksu will return in some form in part 2. If she won't be there at all I'm not watching it.

Read a below comment today from SK tabloid Naver. They are firm about this.
On Alchemy of Souls Aug 26, 2022
So what are your bets for Naksu's body:
1. Og body "on ice" stashed somewhere?
2. Og body recreated from scratch by the powers of the ice stone?
3. ???

Idk if it is just me but I feel sad over the fact that we won't be seeing Jung Somin for the S2 of AOS. I'm one…
Hey, you're not alone. I too find this plot twist weird to begin with, because it's not a book and showrunners shoud know that the audience gets attached to actors faces when they play their characters on screen.
For me it will diminish rewatchability of part 1 to a certain level, because I hate rewatching plots where a favorite character dies. Sure, you may say that Naksu as a character will live, but I've no attachement to og actress. I hope she'll do just as well as JSM, otherwise part 2 will be ruined for me as well.

“Alchemy Of Souls” Part 2 Confirmed To Air In December !!!https://www.soompi.com/article/1542407wpp/alchemy-of-souls-part-2-confirmed-to-air-in-december
I hope they won't move the schedule, December is pretty early. But would be great, I hate waiting for sequels.

[BREAKING NEWS]"Alchemy of Souls Part 2 scheduled to air in December. Goodbye Jung Somin!"It's confirmed that…
I wonder how that tabloid confirmed it, when it's all under wraps and showrunners aren't spilling the beans. Where they stalking the set or smth?

But whatever, I was prepared for this already. My only hope the plot will justify it well and swapped actress will play Naksu on the same level of quality as JSM.

Title Alchemy of Souls Spoiler
Hope the writers let Mudeok and her mom live happily ever after at end of season 1. Hey, better still, maybe the…
1. There actually is no Mu-Deok. Just Naksu in Bu-Yeon's body.
2. He likes Naksu, but she's already taken.
3. Marrying Bu-Yeon will not be allowed by the Jin clan, because he's a prince and has a kingdom to rule. They need somebody who'll stay within their clan.

Are they going to make a prequel or a sequel? If Naksu gonna be there using her own body, then a prequel would…
No, it's gonna be a sequel.

Title Good Job Spoiler
Yea, second episode left a better impression than the first. I'm glad they didn't drag their misunderstadings and FL is already working with ML.
Replying to melonmochi Aug 25, 2022
actually I am so amazed they have kept so many details about the second part a secret.imagine that part 1 ends…
Yea, cliffhanger ending is a given. But I hope they'll clear up the rumor in part 1 without dragging it to part 2.

Title Adamas Spoiler
I gotta be honest the reporter for someone who's the only witness to the murder takes way too many unnecessary…
Yea, reporter and prosecutor don't have any regard for their lives it seems, I don't really like their part of the plot, they keep blindly running from one trap to another without any sort of coherent plan. Though I do like NIS guys - they're tough pros. And though reporter got herself in real trouble now, prosecutor still thinks he's invincible after barely surviving two bomb explosions. That's some thick plot armor on him.
And I agree about killer girl rookie actress being subpar to JSM, thank goodness AoS showrunners made that last minute swap for FL. Overall, they have a stellar cast there.
Replying to Cau Aug 25, 2022
brace youself for not a completely happy ending. Since it will not be a real ending and we will get more 10 episodes.
It's not exactly a season 2, it's called part 2. 10 more episodes that they're finishing filming right now. It will air in December the earliest.
On Alchemy of Souls Aug 25, 2022
I was rewatching some episodes and I think the first third of the show was way funnier than the rest, when it was pure "master & pupil against the world" plot. Episodes 5 and 6 were the best in this regard, some scenes were simply hilarious. I recall these early episodes' teasers what got me interested in watching AoS in the first place.
But then it got more serious and complicated, especially with that draggy "fake Bu-Yeon" plot we still see no end of, rarely any funny and lighthearted stuff happens now.
