Alchemy Of Souls ends with a high rating | Now we wait till December.

Alchemy Of Souls is one of the best Kdrama that was released in the third quarter of 2022.

The first two episodes were released on July 18 and we've been getting two episodes every Saturday and Sunday until the last episode which was released yesterday, August 28.

What an amazing show this is. If you are a Kdrama lover and also a big fan of fantasy shows with historical settings and nice swordsmanship skills, this is something you need to add to your watchlist. They also had a very nice romance fitted into the story.

I'm usually in the category of people that likes to wait till the last episode of a Kdrama is released before diving into it, but this was an exception. I just couldn't wait. Haha. Not after following all the updates from the script reading stage to the production stage until when we started seeing teasers followed by an official trailer.

From the moment the series was released, I jumped on it like a hungry cinephile. Haha. I'm really glad that I did because it would have been impossible to ignore all the spoilers that are posted on Twitter and YouTube.

What's so special about Alchemy Of Souls?

1. The backstory of each character. The complexity of the characters and the backstory each of them has makes this a very interesting show to watch.

Since this is an obvious fictional work, the scriptwriters had the pleasure of bringing in a lot of twists and turns to each character. It was as if each of them can have a stand-alone story which will still be a joy to watch.

The dynamics of the characters are also impressive and the character development as you go farther into each episode was done nicely. Amid all the dynamics they have, the scriptwriters also did a good job of bringing all these together to come up with a very adorable storyline.

2. The use of CGI effects. This Kdrama is based on fantasy. We saw shape-shifting, magic, spells and something like water and fire bending. Haha. It's all about creativity on the side of the production team because I sure didn't mind seeing impossible things become possible.

Thankfully, the production team were up for the challenge.

When they plan to show something terrifying, like the soul-shifting scenes, it's usually a joy to watch. You can't help but appreciate their good use of CGI to create stunning displays.

3. The choreography of the fighting scenes and swordsmanship. The show highlights the different levels of swordsmanship and magic skills which were used to rank each mage.

The different levels include Jipsu, Ryusu, Tansu and Chisu... From lowest to the highest level.

All the duels were well choreographed. They also did a good job of capturing significant elements that differentiated each skill from another.

General Thought About This Kdrama

Amazing, fascinating, lovely, thrilling, captivating... What else do you want me to say?

I have a very high rating for this Kdrama. It kept me expectant every weekend and none of the episodes came as a disappointment, except the last 20 minutes of the supposed last episode which was released yesterday. The Hong sisters did us dirty on that one.

Care to know who the Hong sisters are?

Hong Jung-Eun and Hong Mi-Ran are the scriptwriters of this show. These two sisters have been in the industry for a very long time and I have watched a couple of their projects. Whatever they work on, they do it together. Alchemy Of Souls was not an exception.

When I started watching Alchemy of Soul, I thought everything will end at the end of the 20th episode. Halfway through the series, I started getting snippets about a second season. Gosh... I felt so livid. Yeah, I want to see more of this show, but the idea of waiting for a season two is something we are not used to in Kdramas.

By the time I saw the last episode of the show that was released yesterday, the cliffhanger was too tempting. Haha. How on Earth are we going to wait until December before we can see the second season of this amazing Kdrama?

People are still fuming. The reaction from many fans of this Kdrama is not really on the positive side, but I get it. We lovers of Kdrama are not used to the typical tv show style that is seen on Netflix. We love to get everything in one season even if the season runs for 50 episodes.

But, with this... We have to wait until December to get the second season of the show. All thanks to the brilliance of the Hong sisters. Haha. I'm still giving a solid 9/10 rating for this show.

We are now looking forward to December.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma
