WHAT I’M WATCHING: Alchemy of Souls

In the country of Daeho, Jang Uk (Lee Jae-Wook) comes from the noble Jang family. He holds an unpleasant secret about his birth, which people all around the country talk about. He is troublemaker.

Jang Uk happens to meet Mu-Deok (Jung So-Min). She is an elite warrior, but her soul is trapped in a physically weak body. She becomes Jang Wook’s servant, but she also secretly teaches him how to fight.

Seo Yul (Minhyun) comes from the noble Seo family. He seems perfect with good appearance, intelligence, and strong martial arts skills. Go Won (Shin Seung-Ho) is the crown prince of Daeho. He hopes to become a generous king.

MY REVIEW

Everyone I  know has watched this drama or is watching it. If you’re not part of the crowd then you’re missing out. You’re missing out big. Usually, I’m the type to wait until a drama is over then to binge it over a week. But once I got a taste of this one, I could not keep from watching it week after week after week.

This drama has everything; mystery, romance, thriller, and comedy. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to throw something at your TV. Every character that is introduced in the story has a major role in how the story goes. The leads, Mu-Deok/Naksu and Jang-Uk, are a pair to love. The two have more chemistry than the whole periodic table. You’ll root for them like you’ve never rooted for a couple before.

THE VERDICT: 9/10 because EVERYTHING about this drama is fire. Every character brings something fresh and exciting to the table – even the villains.
