Basically the killer girl's actress was supposed to be the female lead in the ongoing Alchemy of Souls drama. But she was ditched after filming a pilot episode due to lacking acting skills and replaced by a veteran actress Jung So Min. Seeing her in Adamas I can see why she was dropped 🙄.
Update: My plan is just to add the birth secret but I revised it in a more appropriate way again hahaha stay tuned,…
You can also make the synopsis more clear and edit the second part. It's kinda confusing who is the assassin, because it's written that Naksu is a warrior. Just edit that's she's an elite assassin.
There were so many people out there to ruin ML for various reasons - revenge, competitor elimination, jealousy,…
I think ML's actor did a formidable job here at playing a competent but terrifying boss outside and lonely betrayed guy inside. I loved his performance 😃. In many rom-coms of this type actors can't pull off a proper boss role, they often turn up either too soft or too dumb to be convincing. But here he practically had that aura about him. Everything that happened to him in this drama was accumulated bad karma though, lol. But he came out of it a better man, great character development. And it's funny that it was the timid and introverted FL, of all people, who mustered her courage due to her life changing circumstance and stopped putting up with his scumbaggery. Most scenes in the first half of the show where they were at each other's throats were absolutely hilarious 🤣.
This is a good drama. But I’m just wondering. Why is the entire cast playing a role of some sort of criminal?…
There were so many people out there to ruin ML for various reasons - revenge, competitor elimination, jealousy, etc. But it was all done on purpose for his and their character development. This drama's has a strong overall message that is redemption and forgiveness.
For the Finale Ep - Things were resolved too easily. The high stakes were absolved merely into little stakes lol.…
I agree, this drama had too many shortcomings in the narrative. Hinted and promised much but underdelivered in many aspects. But actors and production value were very good - they were basically a very fancy wrapper for a below average quality candy.
I see, gender-bender, and I see, Netflix.I'll pass, thank you.
There is no gender bender. All the soul shifters in this drama shift into same gender bodies. And Netflix just streams this drama's episodes after they are aired on SK TV channel, it didn't order or produce it.
Some of you guys are so easy to please, lol. This show started very promisingly but barely delivered anything by the end. Things were going well until around episode 11 and then went downhill with that weird trip to Jeju island and never recovered. Last two episodes were crammed with cases again and closure for the characters was rushed at breakneck speed. All in all: 1. FL's character development barely progressed both professionally and personally. There were dropped sub plots that she may become more independent from her father, start cooking for herself, maybe go to work to a law firm that is closer to her principles - all were dropped. In the end, writers still managed to fall into a trap and convey the wrong idea about autistic people. Not all of them are savants, not all of them are treated so nicely at work, not all of them are so cute and therefore well liked. In the end, it became just another tropey story about a genius "detective/lawyer/prosecutor" with a quirk. 2. Some characters like ML were not given any background or character development at all. Some characters, like Min Woo and Soo Yeon Too had their characters as if completely swapped with someone else. FL's dad barely did anything for the plot, FL's mom is still a bitch - no family relationship development whatsoever. Some characters like FL's friend and friend's boss were relegated to sad and dumb comic reliefs. All in all, side characters of this drama has got to be one of the most underdeveloped I've ever seen in a kdrama. 2. Law side of the drama was weak and amateurish, but I already wrote about it extensively below. Irl cases are not won simply by remembering a clause from the law book or looking up precedents, irl everyone looks them up prior going to court. Other attorneys and even some judges here are made so exaggeratingly dumb compared to FL, just to show how smart she is, it's simply embarassing. Some cases weren't even worth going to court, their arguments were on the surface and could have been resolved with simple legal consultation. 3. Romance was very weak. Yes, it's cutesy and fluffy, actors are handsome and professional. But ML basically is just a prop put in there to love FL and be conveniently perfect to care for her for some reason. Was it her looks, or constant whale talk that made him fall in love with her? Not much was talked about when they interacted with each other and it made this whole romance superficial and not convincing. Their break-up was dumb af and dragged unnecessarily for 3 episodes too long. And barely any time was given to their reconciliation and next to none to their further relationship. ML wasn't even introduced to FL's father. This is not how you give a satisfying closure to the romance.
All in all just one big overhyped trainwreck. But hey, they still have a chance to fix all this in season 2! But I'm not holding my breath. 🙄
P.S. The only ones worth of praise were the actors, they did an admirable job, especially PEB. But sadly even they couldn't pull off the impossible with this kind of script.
