I try not to drop a drama but sometimes have to and the first #YumisCells was such a case. It's sad when you like a first season then have mixed feelings about a 2nd season. For me it is #AlchemyOfSouls2 and season 2 of #ArthdalChronicles. Maybe I dislike change and what bothers me is same characters but different actors.

Good choice for a rewatch. There was a nice chemistry between KJI and PSJ. Writer was also behind #WhenTheCamelliaBlooms which is a drama on my rewatch rotation

I was also upset at the FL switch. The chemistry with Uk & Mu-deok was just so amazing & Mu-deok is a favorite character of mine.

Watching with friends who had seen it before, they helped me to see that this was planned.

Uk fell in love with Naksu, not Mu-deok (Bu-yeon). Go Youn Jung (the FL in part 2) plays Naksu in part 1.

Although her soul now possesses the body of Bu-yeon, the spell that Master Lee used makes it so that the body takes on the appearance of the soul. So now Uk is falling for her body & soul.

I was happy with that explanation and loved the show.

Alchemy of Souls 2: Light and Shadow
(2022 - Netflix, 10 1:21 eps)

The completion of Alchemy of Souls - a beautiful show with a lot of symbolism, wit, & depth.

The 2nd part feels very different. Our lead has gone through some stuff & he is a changed man. It is much darker, which is appropriate considering that our lead is in a dark place now.

Many people complained about the change in the FL, but if you watch carefully, it makes complete sense. Although you may wonder how you could be as invested as you were during part 1, watching the characters work through the problems pulls you in again.

Great acting again makes an unusual story come across as believable. The side characters get more room for their stories. I'm glad I watched both seasons at once, with a watch party, to get me through the first few episodes of part 2 because I was not happy initially.

Those of you watching #AlchemyOfSouls2, what do you think of the change in FLs? Does it work? I'm not watching the drama but I'm curious how successful it is for people who loved season 1.
