Concerns poured out before this drama’s start. However, it is receiving great love from viewers.
It is “Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow” starring Lee Jae Wook and Go Yoon Jung.
tvN’s “Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow”, which aired on Dec 18th, broke its own highest ratings. It recorded 9.4% (average) and 10.3% (maximum) in the metropolitan area as well as 8.5% (average) and 9.4% (maximum) nationwide based on the ratings research company Nielsen Korea. In terms of the target 2049 viewership rating, it ranked first among its competitors that aired at the same time on all channels.
On this day’s broadcast, the fateful love between Jang Uk (Lee Jae Wook) and Jin Bu Yeon (Go Yoon Jung) was depicted.
Go Yoon Jung is showing off her colorful charm by showing Jin Bu Yeon’s emotions freely, sometimes resolutely, sometimes sloppily and sometimes flutteringly.
Jin Bu Yeon is a “Jang Uk lover” who always thinks of Jang Uk. Go Yoon Jung shows her unique loveliness and expression of affection, further enhancing Jin Bu Yeon’s charm. The cute moments that appear throughout the drama are also making viewers smile.
“Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow” tells the story that started 3 years after the end of Part 1. Therefore, Part 1’s female lead Jung So Min does not appear, and Go Yoon Jung leads Part 2.
It is not common for the protagonist to change within one work, so there were concerns from viewers before the start. In addition, the fact that the real Nak Su (Go Yoon Jung) appeared instead of Nak Su’s soul (in Mu Deok’s body) without mentioning much about Mu Deok (Jung So Min) and led the story caused regret at the beginning of Part 2.
However, the increasingly exciting story and Go Yoon Jung’s perfect acting skills made viewers focus on “Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow”.
The response changed significantly before and after the drama began to air. Netizens left comments such as “I’m falling in love with Nak Su’s personality“, “I live by watching this drama these days” and “It’s so much fun.“
Set in a fictional country called Daeho, “Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow” is about the love and growth of young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the “alchemy of souls”, which allows souls to switch bodies. It airs every weekend at 9:10 PM.
