Honestly, Alchemy of Souls is like a rollercoaster — magical spells, forbidden love, palace drama, and a ton of “wait, WHAT just happened?!” moments. The whole soul-shifting concept is super cool and gives the story this mix of fantasy + sageuk vibes.
The first season hooked me right away — fast pace, funny banter, and amazing chemistry between the leads. The second season slowed down a bit, but it gave us closure (and some extra heartbreak along the way 🥲).
Acting? Spot on. Lee Jae Wook killed it as the serious yet soft-hearted hero. Jung So Min brought so much sass and warmth, and then Go Yoon Jung in Part 2 made the character feel totally new but still connected. Side characters (looking at you, Seo Yul!) were just as lovable.
Visually, it’s gorgeous. The sets, the CGI, the fight scenes — all way above average for K-dramas. And the OST? Pure mood.
Overall: if you like fantasy, romance, and a bit of chaos, this drama will have you binge-watching till 3am. Not perfect, but definitely unforgettable. 💫
