Curious how the Korean drama industry does when it has its own version of historical inspired fantasy? Then Alchemy of Souls is your fit.

The plot, acting, animation,set and costumes are all impressive and it's an enjoyable watch.

I'm an avid reader of Korean fantasy manhwas, and a murim world like Daeho is not unique when it comes to storylines like Alchemy of Souls.

I am however quite impressed with how they brought it to life via the live action lens. The creative freedom in hairstyles and set, and the fights and animations did not disappoint.

I am biased to this part of the story than part 2, but don't let that stop you from continuing on to finish the storyline!

All in all, given AoS' success, I look forward to the future murim inspired or webtoon adapted stories that will spring up in the coming years

I love me some world building 😌
