Alchemy of Souls (2022– )

Almost great until S2 ruined it

[7/10 · 4 September 2023]

A good fantasy from Kdrama industry for a long time with young talented cast (season 1). But the forceful and commercial-wise season 2 really just ruined it for the world. I can only guess the Hong sisters really were too much in a rush for part 2. And the producers chose to follow commercial trends in the latter season, making everything weird with more cheesy swoon-worthy elements like other typical romcom K-dramas. Season 1 was gold from the cast, the acting, the special effects, the scripts. Everything was nice. Until it got back to the norms of idol K-dramas where beauty is more preferred than coherence and skills. Could not really watch pass ep 3 of season 2...

Why do I have to watch this because Emma is a weak and stupid freak?

No, seriously, don't waste your time. Very stupid teenagers doing stupid things and stupid decisions. It's so stupid that it gets on your nerves. Its a waste of time...
