“But it’s a fantasy historical drama…” The sad but funny reason why “Alchemy of Souls” is being criticized before its premiere show

The hairstyles of the cast in the fantasy historical drama “Alchemy of Souls” are attracting many people’s attention.

tvN’s new drama “Alchemy of Souls” will premiere in June amid expectations from many viewers.

“Alchemy of Souls” is a fantasy romance drama in which the main characters, whose fate is twisted due to the soul-changing “alchemy art,” overcome and grow against the backdrop of a fictional country that does not exist in history or on any map.

All the best stars such as Lee Jae-wook, Jung So-min, Hwang Min-hyun, Yoo Joon-sang, Shin Seung-ho, Oh Na-ra, Cho Jae-yoon, Yoo In-soo, Arin, Ko Yoon-jung, Joo Sang-wook, and Park Eun-hye will appear in this series.

While “Alchemy of Souls” raised viewers’ expectations through previously released teasers and still cuts, there were many comments about the cast’s hairstyle.

Lee Jae-wook, who plays the role of Jang Wook, a noble but delinquent young master of the Jang Clan in the country of Daeho, and Hwang Min-hyun, who plays Seo Yul, a genius noble of the Seo Clan, are seen having the hairstyle of modern people these days. It is quite different from the long hairstyle seen in general historical dramas.

In the behind-the-scenes photos of “Alchemy of Souls” circulating in the online community, a man with blond hair was also captured next to the short-haired male cast members.

Internet users expressed curiosity, saying, “This is magical,” “I think they are going unconventional,” “Is it an alternate universe with a beauty salon?” and “This is funny.”

Meanwhile, “Alchemy of Souls” will premiere at 9:10 p.m. on June 18th.
