This Friday’s Baeksang Awards in Seoul was probably a night of little to no surprises (just one big one) and a lot of satisfied winner picks.

The players are being assembled for the fantasy K-drama Death’s Game and Go Yoon Jung is definitely capitalizing on her Alchemy of Souls success right away.

Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow Piles on More Nonsense to a Happy Ending Meaningful to the Fans Who Have Stuck with the Drama

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 8, 2023 by ockoalaJanuary 8, 2023

If there was ever a negative bell curve this drama would be it. Alchemy of Souls managed to start strong for about 15 minutes and end strong for the final 15 minutes and everything in between was the slow descent into pure drivel with an eventual attempt to climb back out. The nadir was the ending to season 1 and … Continue reading →

Two figures in traditional attire sharing a moment.

The long dream/nightmare (depending on your perspective) is almost over for Alchemy of Souls, with the second short season Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow ending this weekend with episodes 9 and 10. The preview stills hint at the leads Wook and Bu Yeon/Naksu recognizing each other by Naksu’s tree that she dreamed of one day going to the top … Continue reading →

Before and after transformation photo comparison.

There is a Chinese saying that “when a person is hot, he/she garners controversy” and nowhere is it as evident as with K-actress Go Yoon Jung this past month in Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow part 2 as the female lead. It’s like viewers feel compelled to have diametrically opposite and quite extreme opinions – she’s either woefully bad … Continue reading →

Audience Divided with Alchemy of Souls Season 2 as it Heads to Final Weekend Still Unable to Answer Basic World Building Questions

A Koala's Playground Posted on January 2, 2023 by ockoalaJanuary 3, 2023
Couple sharing intimate moments in historical setting.

I checked out of Alchemy of Souls after the first season but continued to watch season 2 as a casual bystander. Nothing that happens will upset me but I am curious to see what the Hong Sisters have in store and also whether the still loyal cadre of viewer fans are enjoying this season with the switched up female lead … Continue reading →

Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow Increases to 8.458% in Episode 4 as the Drama Speeds its Way to OTP Skinship

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 19, 2022 by ockoalaDecember 19, 2022

I’m sure if I had time I could do a drama case study on Alchemy of Souls – the great start, the petering out, the frustrating lack of clarity and answers in the massive world building, and the headdesk inducing ending. The case study now extends to the second truncated season of Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow which is … Continue reading →

Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow Episode 2 Rises to 7.743% as the Narrative Shows Hand on the Resurrected Bu Yeon’s True Form and Writes the Central Conundrum Back to the Story

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 12, 2022 by ockoalaDecember 12, 2022
Two characters in a dramatic setting.

Man, watching the second episode of Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow was alternating between these two are cute and headdesking. It’s clear the Hong Sisters had a concept (soul switching! In sageuk fantasy times!) and then wrote the story around it, hence the complete and utter moral quandries they gloss over in attempts to give the female lead a … Continue reading →

So…..despite all all the self-warning and repeated burning from summer tvN drama Alchemy of Souls, I did come back at least for the first episode of season 2 called Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow. The female lead switched from Jung So Min‘s Jin Bu Yeon physical form with Naksu’s soul to Go Yoon Jung so I figured she’s playing … Continue reading →

Profile of a woman with elegant jewelry.

Aspiring stars dream of the big break, a role or a moment and now is that make-or-break chance for K-actress Go Yoon Jung. She was at most a small-ish supporting actress before taking on what amounted to a cameo role in tvN fantasy sageuk Alchemy of Souls, just 10 minutes at the beginning of episode 1, but it appeared to … Continue reading →
