“Alchemy of Souls” changed the female lead from Jung So Min to Go Yoon Jung.
As leading actress Jung So Min of season 1 is no longer a cast member, concerns were raised over the replacing actress not meeting expectations.
However, after several episodes of season 2, Go Yoon Jung’s visual and acting received a passing grade to some extent.
“Alchemy of Souls” received a strong backlash from viewers when it was known that the female lead would change from Jung So Min to Go Yoon Jung. As Jung So Min was greatly loved for her character Mu Deok, the burden that Go Yoon Jung had to bear was great.
Fortunately, Go Yoon Jung’s acting was a passing grade. Her matchless visual also caught the eye and added anticipation to the romance narrative. Attention is focused on how Go Yoon Jung will portray her complex character (Nak Su (before alchemy of souls)/Jin Bu Yeon) in the remaining 8 episodes.
