The drama title is "Alchemy of Souls". It's all about Souls. Everything is connected with Souls. Soul >>>>> BodyI…
What you said is in contradiction with the logic of souls and bodies in Daeho. In the country of Daeho a person is born with a soul and a body in a combination which should last until death part them. So the body is important. The Alchemy of soul is not white magic. It is dark magic. It allows a soul to shift into a body that it basically steals from his rightful owner. It was used in the past and it brought misery on Daeho until it was stopped. Now the soul shifters are chased by mages before they run wild and Jang Kang only performed it because he was ordered by the King and it gave a terrible outcome for him.
So the body does matter and Jang Uk is falling for the combo Nak Su soul + Mu Deok's body. But this is an usurpation. Sooner or later Nak Su will need to get out of Mu Deok's body and go to the afterlife. Because she is dead and she has no right to exist in somebody's else's body or in a dead body she takes over. It is soul shifting and it is forbidden.
If the logic is respected, Nak Su cannot stay unless an incredible twist happens. Maybe she will avenge her parents and eliminate the ones who want the ice stone for power but ultimately she has to go to the afterlife.
This is why this Alchemy of Soul part II is weird. Because if Nak Su is the lead and main female character, it would mean they gave her another reason and another way to stay "alive".
Exactly that was my conflict about the romance of UK and MD that she has Naksu personality but also had real persona…
I like Nak Su (and GJY too). I won't mind her as lead. But Nak Su does not have a body to go to anymore. How are they going to recall or remake her body from ashes? If they can remake a body from scrap and put back a soul in it, they are not mages but almost gods who can guarantee immortality.
I'll be glad to read any theory which could explain how it is possible because so far I can't see how it would happen.
I have a theory... What if the reason directors decided to remove Jung Somin from s2 cuz Mudeok's character (body)…
The Hong sisters have only written 2 sad endings out of their 13 drama so it is not like they usually do it. But I expect this one to not be a happy ending. Either open ending or bitterseet ending.
The FL is terribly written as a character. She has no coherence. One time she is a boss threatening ML then she…
All that abduction thing and the events on the island were nonsensical and the FL acted illogical, incoherent and erratic. Why she tried to pull off the towel because it was her fiancé's towel? but she would see the ML naked! Probably the writer tried to pull an arc of narration where they come closer to each other and look cute. Terrible idea.
Good thing she came back to her hateful scheming and mean self after they returned to the continent. She is just spiteful because she considers people should be punished according to her own standards. She has no sense of justice or fairness at all. This is why she blocked his way to find a job and rebuild his life.
I have never seen a ML have the FL beaten, bleed like the FL did to the ML here. She needs to learn some lessons...
The FL is terribly written as a character. She has no coherence. One time she is a boss threatening ML then she…
FL did not love her fiancé. She chose him because he saved her life. He did not even had to make any effort to woo her. She just suddenly chose him because she needed someone to take her side and make her dad go easy on her. And it worked. They dated for a year but they were hidding the truth to each other.
This is why all this bs crying and whining "oh her poor fiancé Pat" she loved so much is not believable. She is angry at ML not because he killed her beloved fiancé but because he took away from her the choice she made for herself. She is just spiteful and gutted because things did not turn accordingly with her will and choice.
You are too lenient with her. She has work to do on her bad personality. It is not only about healing.
I understand that she has a trauma which made her taking medication and now she is also having nightmares. She needs help for that to accept the past and move on. Independently from the ML's case.
The way she treats Ohm is beyond her health problems. Not all people who go throught hardships choose to taunt and persecute others. When she sees her minions beating the ML if she has some decency she should not allow it. But she is arrogant, immature, petty, spiteful and that is not because of her health isssues.
That's her personality. She thinks she is all that but she is making mistakes after mistakes professionally and personally. She needs see her wrongdoings and to change. This is not something doctors and medication can do for her.
I agree about Ohm and Mink. Too bad Mink was so weak. Jay and Pat, they did not love each other. She just chose…
I don't think Meena is Mink. She is too different in her personality and abilities. Also she has a kid who is older than 2 years and Mink died two years ago. Agree it would be too jaded. I hope she is a different person with her own story.
I thoroughly think Meena would still the show. I mean, my eyes brighten up everytime they show her scenes. She's…
I like Meena too. She is intelligent and scheming but I don't think she is evil. Also she seems to know both the ML and FL. It is like there is a common point between them.
I underdand's Jay health issues but she is not to the point she can't make the difference between what is morally and legally acceptable. She really needs character developement, see what she is doing wrong and that she needs to correct.
Finally caught up with the 4 epis!! I love the lead characters, they’re layered and complexed plus both actors…
I agree about Ohm and Mink. Too bad Mink was so weak. Jay and Pat, they did not love each other. She just chose him because she needed him and he was cheating on her 100%. This is why I hardly understand all her whining about her "dear fiancé" Pat.
All I have to say is that Jee is really getting on my nerves rn like girl what😭 better get ur money up not…
She is so rich she could pay a detective to make a full report about him and target his weakness instead she acts like a spoiled spiteful immature loony.
Eps 4 was bad in its first half. Glad it got back on better tracks in the second part.
The FL is terribly written as a character. She has no coherence. One time she is a boss threatening ML then she is worse than a kid. One time she threatens him with a knife, then she is hugging him like her life depends on it. The worst is all her whining about her "Pat" that is not even believable because they never looked close and now she is cuddling with the ML in the morning. Then she acts like a bitch again and he risks his life for her. Then she runs to meet her dad just to cry again... Then she is a hateful bitch again.
I don't mind a game of rivalry and a battle of wits but the FL made ML be unfairly beaten and bleed and wronged just out of hate. Only in lakornworld feelings can blossom from this...
This drama had a clear and interesting storyline to start with but now all these far-fetched situations piled one after another with terrible loud music makes it look a complete load of BS. I am glad all this nonsensical abduction is over after ep4. Hope things will become more interesting now.
I actually find there is a legitimate reason to be asking for a break up.. I mean I've seen a bunch of kdramas,…
She wanted to break up because she could not shake off the idea that she survived and the sister of her bf did not. She feels guilty anytime she sees him but is was not her fault. She just need to admit she is not responsible of what happened to the twin sister.
So the body does matter and Jang Uk is falling for the combo Nak Su soul + Mu Deok's body. But this is an usurpation. Sooner or later Nak Su will need to get out of Mu Deok's body and go to the afterlife. Because she is dead and she has no right to exist in somebody's else's body or in a dead body she takes over. It is soul shifting and it is forbidden.
