One-of-a-kind expérience

DISCLAIMER : Before saying anything, don't listen to the recent reviews. I don't know where all this backlash is coming from. Watch it and form your own opinion.

If you love romantic fantasy heavily inspired by Chinese Xianxia or you’re simply curious about it, then you’re in for a treat. Trust it’ll be an incredible experience. But if it’s not your cup of tea, don’t bother. You’ll just waste your time and discredit this beautiful work with your biased opinion. I believe that someone who hates horror movies for example, has no business reviewing one because their opinion is already biased from the start. So save yourself some time.

MY HONEST REVIEW
Alchemy of Souls is not just a drama it’s an experience. The world-building, the emotions, the fight scenes, the acting skills and the character development are beautifully done. This is the drama that made me realize how powerful Korean storytelling can be.
I laughed, I cried, I felt deeply connected to the characters. Every single actor ate, especially Lee Jaewook as Jang Uk. I discovered him through this role and I’m genuinely blown away. He’s very very talented.
Mind you, i’m not a historical drama super fan at all but this drama It’s now one of my all-time favorites.

‼️THE ENDING & SPOILERS ‼️

The only flaw is the season 2’s ending. That’s why I gave a 08/10.
Honestly I get how season 2 unfolded, and it makes sense for Naksu’s original body to return. (I actually don’t get why people complained about the real Naksu coming back, especially since the second actress had more chemistry with the ML than the one from season 1. anyway.)

But but but… I wish we’d gotten more fight scenes from her after she regained her memories. I wanted to see the Naksu from the very first minutes of season 1, ep 1. Imagine how epic and iconic it would’ve been if she’d ended the series with a fight scene mirroring the opening scene of season 1. That would’ve been unforgettable. It’s such a shame they missed that opportunity.

And don’t hesitate to watch season 2. It’s easy to understand even if some people aren’t fans of the major change, which you’ll understand once you watch it. For me, it makes perfect sense and was the most logical continuation of the story.

Thanks 🩵
