Great Drama, but 12 episodes would have been fine
I loved this drama. The story is overall really great. I loved the plot and the development, but 20 episodes were too much. Especially the first ten episodes were great and it had me captivated. Lee seung Gi was great and the chemestry with Oh Yeon-seo was incredible. I also loved General Frost. However, strating with episode 13/14 the last episodes felt like filler and confused me and made the story seem messy. I am not someone who spends special attention to the OST, but the soundtrack was so good that I noticed it even while watching the series. For me, it was one of the best soundtracks ever.Was this review helpful to you?
Something new
This is the drama where I fell in love with Jae-wook. I started it because Rowoon is part of the cast and because i liked the synopsis. At the beginning it all seemed a bit weird and took little time to get used to this drama, but its unique concept and charming characters helped getting used to it. I loved the character of Baek Kyung, who is also a victim of the storyline and his developement. Sometimes it felt like the potential of the concept is not completely used, which is sad, and some scenes felt a bit repetetive. For the end I wished for a better ending for Beak Kyung...Was this review helpful to you?
Slightly disappointed but still good
When I saw the trailer and the overall cast, I was excited. In the end, I expected more from this series, but it was still pretty good. I was really excited at the start, but the closer it got to the end, the more chaotic it became. The acting sometimes seemed a bit off. The CGI in this series is rough and takes some time getting used to. It's a shame... The series had potential but didn't manage to live up to expectations and hopes.Was this review helpful to you?
Good start, declined significantly
It was a hard fight to finish this. I liked the idea of the story, which is the reason why I started this drama, but I really had a hard time. There was no chemistry between the characters, Whether it's a friendly relationship or a romantic one, they come across as lame and simply forced. Even for a drama, these characters were overly dramatic. In my opinion, the ending made it even worse. I liked the aesthetics of the series, but that was it.Was this review helpful to you?

It's cute
First: This was my first Kdrama. (I know, how is this my first?)I don't know if this is my nostalgica talking, as this was my first kdrama, or whether I just think the title already warned us, but it was clear from the start, that this wasn't gonna be a innovative story. And I personally think, it is totaly fine!
I really liked the chemistry between the main characters, I just think that Seo-woo deserved more. At the end of the drama I felt really bad for him. I understood what the idea of Hyun-min character was, but I didn't like it, he was a prick. I loved the soundtrack, still listen to it, and liked the ending. All in all a solid performance I think.

Can't recommend
I started this drama because I usually like series about music and the music industry, but this disappointed me. The story is super slow paced and boring. Even though there are 16 episodes, it felt like a lifetime (and I only watched 13!). I liked the acting of Joy, but the character itself was really bad. I couln't relate to her... And the chemistry was bad and simply unrealistic. I usually hate dropping a series and try to power through it, but I rather made my homework, than watching this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
I am in love
I generally love supernatural dramas and Jae Wook and therefore I was really excited and had high hopes for this drama. And I wasn't disappointed. Every Weekend I couldn't wait for the next episode. It was the highlight of my week. The maincharacters are so relatable and funny in their own way (without being cringy or lame) and the storyline is addicting. The acting in this drama is good and I loved Jung So-min as the strong female character Mu-deok. The chemistry between the leads is crazy. I thought the ending was very good and I must say that I think it's great that it was something different for a change. Something new. It has become one of my favourite dramas of all time.Was this review helpful to you?
Alchemy of Souls Season 2: Light and Shadow

A great sequel
Since I loved season one, I couldn't wait for season two, and it yet again didn't disappoint. I was a bit scared at first to be honest, because I reallz liked the character of Mu-deok and was very sad that this character would be missing. But story-wise it made sense and I really liked to see what would have happened if Naksu would have "stayed" at home. I am not sure whether I liked Jang Uk more in S1 when he was more lively and only wanted to prove himself or in S2 when he was all dark and gloomy. Anyway, I love S2 and think that it was a worthy sequel to the phenomenal S1.Was this review helpful to you?
