If you watched Mr. Queen the answer is obvious - something went wrong and Mu-Deouk's soul is still inside her body, that's why Naksu hadn't turned to stone yet even though she doesn't have the energy.

Yes, very cute so far, but just as I was afraid they lost me there with FL's believability as an attorney (or at least as one that goes to court). How was she the top of her class when she has trouble speaking in court and even asks her clueless friend for help? While studying as attorneys they have mock trials for practice and good public speaking skills is one of the things that gets evaluated. Didn't seem like she aced in those or had much practice at all.

FL actress really gets on my nerves ever since "The Secret Life Of My Secretary", dunno why but I just don't like her. ML and his ghostly entourage are ok though.
It seems this drama copies a lot from other dramas plots, especially the ones about reincarnation, I've noticed many similarities. But it's not boring at least. Good overall, but not great.

Lol, that wouldn't be a happy ending by any standarts. This drama is fun though and the ending is very satisfying.

Ikr, I've been eagerly anticipating this drama since trailer teasers started appearing. And so far it hasn't disappointed me yet, looks like the k-drama of this year for me.

No, it will be revealed later that it was a misdiagnosis. But not before she goes through five stages of grief and messes with ML too much to get away with it.

Uh, hard pass then. I’ve lost patience for these types of drama and find them too stressfull. Thnx for replying though.

For those who are watching - is this a makjang drama?

Really don't want to insult anybody, but a serious question - can an autist be an attorney? Are there any irl? Aren't there requirments for this job? I find this show's synopsis interesting, but I'm finding it hard to believe that a person with an alternate state of mind can be successfull at this type of job that requires ability to empathize, good communication skills with people and good social skills in general. So I'm kinda on the fence whether to invest time into this drama.

Is this per episode? This looks to be too expensive and long to be total 5 bn.

EDIT: According to Wikipedia:
"In August 2021, production companies Studio Dragon and High Quality signed an agreement with Mungyeong City to build a filming site in Maseong-myeon worth ₩5 billion for the production of Alchemy of Souls."
So it's just for the filming site. Total budget likely is waay more.

Yea, don't waste your time.

Yes, they were breaking up and making up for a whole year by having nonsensical spats about the smallest things and accusing each other of not being like how they were with superpowers. But at the end they made up again, not known for how long.

They added spats in the last fifteen minutes of the show, btw. Looked like it was to make fun of this whole silly plot about destiny and proclamations of eternal love.

Stupid dreams about destiny and eternal love got crashed upon reality of their incompatible characters 😂 Did writers at the end want to make fun of the whole premise of this dumb show?

It's not her sister, it's her cousin. And they dropped that plotline completely for whatever reason.

In the drama ML and her mom were not telling her about her past, even when mom's stalker/dad's killer started operating again and almost killed mom's fiancee. They said it was to protect her, dumbasses. Even though mom knew killer's identity all along, if she told her daughter who it was FL wouldn't meet with him at the bar and get kidnapped and ML wouldn't get stabbed later.

And here it seems ML and FL got their superpowers because they kissed during a special celestial event: blood moon + northern lights. Or maybe it was "trauma" from diving into the lake at night, don't ask 🙄. When they do it again in the present their powers disappear. And then FL suddenly remembers everything from her past. Jeez, I can't state this enough how I hate selective amnesias that characters in k-dramas get as easy as cold. I got a good laugh when ML in another drama (Crazy Love) went meta and made a real good fun of it when he pretended he had it too - he knew everyone watches and believes this crap 😂.

Anyway, looks like doing it by the book, literally, might have been better here. Starting from younger cast, definitely, as I would have forgiven some dumb shit main leads were doing if they were much younger.

What about ML's and mom's dumbassery concerning hiding events of the past from FL? And that weird choice of a villain?

Well, I'm glad this show is over, barely managed to finish the last two episodes. Can check it off my list.
And btw, was plot this dumb and cringey in the webtoon as well?

Well, technically FL confessed to ML pretty early on already. But this didn't lead to them mutually confessing and starting dating. Hence I'm telling you we'll have to wait a few episodes yet for the proper romantic relationship start. And I've not seen it being rushed in recent 16 episode dramas, only in smaller episode count ones.

Maybe in recent ones they got wiser to drag this a bit more, so that the audience will stay hooked anticipating when it happens.
