Zhang Ling He's character in the #cdrama #ThePrincessRoyal reminds me so much of Lee Jae Wook's character in the #kdrama #AlchemyOfSouls
I somehow binged a dozen episodes of TPR already this weekend? Bickering almost-divorced couple meet untimely deaths only to awaken as their not-yet-engaged 20-years-younger selves? Poking at each other's known sore spots all the time and also appreciating each other's quiet capabilities...
I am liking it so far!
I finished #AlchemyOfSouls, and it’s absolutely fantastic! I loved every single episode for the great mix of fantasy, magic, romance, and suspense.
Locations, interiors, dresses, and scene objects are also finely made, making the whole story fascinating and beautiful. Special effects are also stunning!
Along with Hotel Del Luna, Alchemy of Souls is my favorite “fantasy” #Kdrama. All lovers of #Kdramas should watch it. The only exception is if you really hate fantasy and/or magic and/or combat.
Yesterday, I watched the 9th and penultimate episode of #AlchemyOfSouls part 2. But honestly, I didn’t understand the ending. In the last scene, Cho-Yeon/Dang-Gu/Sang-Ho were crying in front of some coffins .... of who?? I felt like I missed something.
But perhaps (and hopefully) everything will be clearer in the last episode that I will watch this evening! 👍 😉
I’ve finished the first part of #AlchemyOfSouls! Episode 20 was undoubtedly dramatic, shocking, and also surprising (especially for the last scene). So, yesterday I started watching the second part because I was so curious and excited.
In part 2, the story/context has changed quite a bit, and many characters have changed their behavior and appearance as well (dress, hair, etc.). Fortunately, there is still the character of the Maidservant Kim Do-Joo! 🥰
I have been watching #AlchemyOfSouls over the last weeks (I am up to ep 17), and it’s absolutely fabulous, with a great mix of action, magic, suspense, and mystery. 👍
I just have one curiosity. There are various specific words in dialogues, such as “Gwanju”, “Danju”, “Gwigu”, etc. Do these words have a real meaning in Korean? Or are they just cute/cool words? 🤔
Today, two new #Kdramas start on #Netflix: #CanThisLoveBeTranslated and #NoTailToTell. I am much more interested in the first than the second. Anyway, I will also try to watch the second one (probably later) to see if it's interesting.
Tomorrow, #UndercoverMissHong also starts on Netflix, and this might be interesting.
I'm literally overwhelmed by so many K-dramas! And I am still watching #AlchemyOfSouls, which is super fantastic!
@KoreanPassion Alchemy Of Souls is definitely a #kdrama to watch! After thrilling first episodes I was a bit disappointed by how season 1 evolved. Season 2 was more enjoyable and clearly ventured into more enlightening explanations.
So my advice would be to watch it until the end, even if you think it loses mojo.
Since I've caught up on Pro Bono and have to wait for the new episodes (the next one is tomorrow), I decided to start a new #Kdrama. So, yesterday I watched the first episode of #AlchemyOfSouls.
And .... whoooaaaaaaa!!! It's super fascinating, mysterious, engaging, and full of action and magic!! 😎
I noticed it's rather long, with 2 parts totaling 20+10 episodes. I think it will keep me good company for the whole month (probably more, alternating Pro Bono and then Can This Love Be Translated?).
