    [Drama 2022] Alchemy Of Souls: Light and Shadow ✴ 반환

    Looking at fans angry for putting back original actress playing Naksu for second part it is kind of pretty toxic. They should support great storyline not purely bias for certain actor/actresss. No wonder some actress never get career growth and constantly depressed in k-entertaiment.

     

    For me Go Yoon Jung give great act too in this drama and she should shine like So Min giving the women empowerment in this drama. Strong women should support each other not putting other each other.

    @iamsherry I scrolled back to the old twitter/news about this drama it seems that 30 episode already planned earlier probably long before So Min step in to replace the previous lead female actor. It doesn't matter what is the part 2 series because Somin do have good 20 episode to begin with.

    LOLs. They release this information when we aren't even halfway into Part 1 yet... of course the fans will go nuts! But it's a clever marketing ploy to attract new viewers to the series.

    This drama is somehow expectedly good and knowning fans going crazy is normal..hahahaha

    @orion00 didn't she mention something about stiff neck after filming some action scene here? But anyways.. 

    Yes, she also said she was fainted (sleeping cannot wake up) during filming but she didn't mention the drama. I can see this drama take a lot of energy and she did get a lot of hit right because of Jang Uk.

     

    The actor who play Master Lee always play comedic role despite his character should be the important person (like in Vincenzo) and I love his wittness. Another love triangle coming soon by looking at the preview..lol

    Could be a back story type of thing? 

     

    But it does make me go 'pls hong sisters.. not a bad end for MD jebal..'

     

    I do think it's a strategic marketing direction by CJ ent since GYJ as Naksu is very well received

    Not sure probably Naksu get her original body back. If you read in the earlier page of this thread, Jung So Min is not the original actress for this drama as lead but she stepped in after the previous actress give very weak acting. I guess the storyline has been developed long before Jung So Min is casted and the original actress played Naksu will be back to complete the story. 

     

    Maybe Mu Deok is ice stone is body is souless soul is correct and Naksu backstory has not been completely reveal yet. If true Mu Deok is long lost Jin daughter, why her mother don't even recognised her given she is a very powerful mage? Probably the original Naksu is the long lost daughter, we don't even know the father that was killed due to soul shifting is her real father.

    so anything can happen.. or go wrong with the plot..

     

     

    As you know Hong's sister drama can be hit or miss. 

     

    As for this drama, a lot of unpredicted storyline along the way and I hope the writers don't mess it up. 

     

    My guess is part 1 alreadly wrapped the drama and that's why they are shooting part 2 now. Usually for Netflix series, they need to put everything in advanced.

    This is my exact same thought too. I was thinking that the blind Mu Deok is the actual missing ice stone and Naksu's soul is now in it.

    The reason of my theory because Mu Deok don't have the blue mark at the shoulder only her eyes turn blue (again not permanently) and just Jang Uk can see it. I don't think others saw it despite she put an eye drops. The ice stone is so powerful that it can open the Jin family gate and most enchanted object knows her. Probably ice stone also fated to be with the 'real king' in this case Jang Uk somehow it kind of return to the right owner.

    My theory is blind Mu Deok is the ice stone but in human form. She was weak and blind for purpose. So technically blind Mu Deok itself in enchanted object with no soul and Naksu shift soul into blind Mu Deok and give the ice stone soul and somehow it become stronger (not physically probably more like internally stronger - don't know how to put it). So Master Lee aware how is Jang Uk and Mu Deok (not master-pupil pair) but far more important that that. Naksu/MuDeok combo is the key of Jang Uk fate and Master Lee himself make sure MuDeok won't run wild like other soul but instead will help Jang Uk. Even Master Lee is not their master, I'm pretty sure he will keep his eyes on them till the end. If the ice stone must be destroyed toward the end of drama, it would say it is another typical Hong's sister signature to separate ML and FL lead and give open ending.

    Today episode is another mind blowing episode.  So is the ice stone divided by two? Another located at the castle and another one is Mu Deok? It's seems that Master Lee sealed Naksu soul in Mu Deok body and she is now 'guardian' or 'protecter' to Jang Uk. She probably won't become wild soul like others. 

    I agree with others mentioned that Mu Deok/Naksu attached to Jang Uk compared to Seol because she only want to serve Jang Uk even she said she want her energy back but instead she also ready to protect Jang Uk. 

    I almost thought that Jang Uk will choose Master Lee as his master instead of going to Songrim but I guess he want to proof he is his father's son.

     

    I am still curious what is Danju and why the Queen is the Danju. Is she kind of the evil behind all these since she want to control Daeho. We have new lady coming in this episode which I think will be another episode of jealousy between Mu Deok and Jang Uk. That girl I think is the daughter of one of the mage and she definitely eyeing Jang Uk.

    Next week will be episode 9 and 10 which will be the second half of the drama. So we are looking more things will be revealed soon. Hoping the pacing is good

    Another great episode of seeing Mu Deok/Naksu and Jang Wook bickering with each other :lol: Seriously these two are so funny, the way Jang Wook got jealous over Seo Yul calling her master hahaha, he wants to be the only one that can call Mu Deok a master. Also did we just see Jang Wook indirectly say that he likes Mu Deok/Naksu?!

    Jang Uk already ask Mu Deok to be his wife instead of his maid in Episode 1/2.. lol

    New plot point: Jin Mu and the Queen. He's doing all these soul-shifting for her. Is she a soul shifter too? I'd hate to think he might be Go Won's biological father. Haha!

    Just curious, is Queen is a man.. then how come she can have CP..

    I wonder if this is the duel scene between the CP and Uk...or maybe it is a fight scene 

    between Uk and the fake Mudeok.  :unsure:

    It seem that fake Mu Deok will come out from the mirror and real Mu Deok/Naksu trapped in the mirror (this is my opinion). Probably the mirror is the evil side of soul and you can even see Mu Deok kissing Seo Yul in the preview. I think all of them (four of the heir + CP) will come and rescue Mu Deok.

    agitated is that they keep blaming UK's mom about every single wrongdoings of uk's father and the king when she is the real victim here.(I know it is to save UK from misery but can't they find some other ways to do this like making UK his mage father's son who just have a destiny to be the king why they have to make it like only the king and his bloodline could have a divine energy.)

     About this, I am curious is Jang UK mom is a mage too since that they have to marry mage families to inherit the mage power. Probably if his mum is a mage, she could sense Jang UK father do have different soul. We still got a lot of episode to go, I hope they will reveal a lot of back story regarding their family and the late king.

     

    The current CP is not really evil, he kind of clueless and being controlled by Assistant Gwanju that has his own evil motive. He is don't know/aware about the mage/royalities family conflict and it seem to him, it just normal childish fight that hurt his pride when he is fighting with Jang Uk.

     

     

    After doing some googling and I found out (probably already at the first page, I didn't check), the director that directed this drama is Park Joon Hwa wo previously directed WWSK, Because this is my first life,  Touch your heart, probably we willl get happy ending. I really want it for this drama.

    the mystery man who is able to summon the gwigu to come out and follow him.. he has got to be from the Jin family isn't it? the true owner of the gwigu and possibly Cho Yeon's uncle? or is he the second person who could have mastered all 5 levels of the highest mage skills? the one that Heo Yeom did not reveal..

    I think he is the name cannot be reveal as mentioned by Heo Yeom. Since he already sense Naksu soul and he is going after her (in the preview) I hope he could be one more factor to unleash Jang Uk power.

     

    Lee Jae Wook might be looked like not suitable for this drama, but I can see he can carry sangeuk ML and how good he is playing with emotion. I never watch his other drama before so I will give him a try to see how well he will carry in this drama.

     

    I hope Seo Yeol or Mu Deok didn't died or perish in this drama (I'm still bitter about Hwayugi where they killed the female lead), and wish they keep Mu Deok/Naksu till the end. I don't know if they could recover Naksu original body but we'll see.

     

    This drama is listed 20 episode so probably we have a lot of plots of drama a long the way.

    After watching episode 4, I'm getting the real crazy idea that the stated in-story rumor just might be true - Park Jin may indeed be Jang Uk's real father. He had the affair with Do-Hwa before either the King or Jang Gang.

    I don't think so because when Jang Uk was born, the star propercy that predicted by the dead king is there to indicate the heir of the king is born. Park Jin still cherished his old flame that's why he try to protect his beloved son. Just like Severus Snape in Harry Potter trying to protect Harry from Voldermort. But of course Park Jin is warmer person and he love his bff too (Jang Uk' father).

    I'm totally sold for this drama. I really hope this drama will give good ending since I'm a bit bitter with the writer give weak ending on their previous drama.

     

    They have great cast, even the original Naksu is a total badass beautiful lady. Mu deok origin still a mystery and I think she might also one of the mage (probably the sister that they thought dead) since she didn't have any blue marks like other soul shifter. 

     

    Another mystery guy enter in Episode 4 looking for the soul shifter which probably one of the mage master. This drama giving Harry Potter vibe but of course in Korean folkore version.
