«Alchemy of Souls» , is winning our hearts and conquering the world through its streaming on Netflix, for its brilliant portrayal of love in the age of wizardry and magic. Here are 3 types of love that we see in the plot: Starring Jung So Min , Lee Jae-wook , Hwang Min-hyun and more, «Alchemy of Souls» it revolves around soul swapping and soul mates. It tells the story of Naksu ( Go Yoon-jung ), a feared shadow assassin who exchanges her soul with a weak peasant, Mu-Deok ( Jung So Min ), and gets involved with Jang Uk ( Lee Jae-wook ), who recognizes in her a soul changer. She takes him in as a student and trains him to become a great wizard who will help her get her powers back. The first and perhaps the most obvious expression of love that we see in «Alchemy of Souls» it is romantic love. Jang Uk falls in love with Mu-Deok in their time together, both as young master and his servant, as well as master and student. At the same time, Mu-Deok falls in love with him even though she was nowhere near his original plan. After a brief period of separation, when Jang Uk has to train in isolation in Songrim and Mu-Deok has to stay home, they open their hearts to each other through metaphorical letters. With soul-swapping complications on the way and their dire consequences, it will be interesting to see how their love perseveres.

The second form of love that we see in «Alchemy of Souls» It is platonic love. Jang Uk and Mu-Deok have a close-knit circle of friends who defend and protect them and each other at all times. This includes Seo Yul ( Hwang Min-hyun ), Park Dang-goo ( Yoo In-soo ), Jin Cho-yeon ( Arin ) and sometimes even Crown Prince Go Won ( Shin Seung Ho ). There is a sense of purity and innocence in this love that is really admirable, plus we saw a very funny bromance between two characters who have a fate that will pit them against each other…

Finally, the third form of love in «Alchemy of Souls» It is parental love. History constantly teaches us its layered complexity. Jang Uk was raised by his mother’s servant, Kim Do-joo ( Oh na-ra ), while Park Jin ( Yu Jun-sang ) took on the role of a father figure. Our protagonist lost his parents but rarely could he feel alone. Kim Do-joo is affectionate, kind, and even pampering with Jang Uk, while Park Jin is bossy, stern, and ruthless. He is restrictive, preventing Jang Uk from achieving anything important in life. Naturally, Jang Uk does not understand this behavior and rebels against it. However, Park Jin’s attitude stems from his desire to protect Jang Uk at all costs so that he can live an ordinary and uneventful life, away from the tragedy he is destined for, due to that part of his origin that he knows. Park Jin’s love for Jang Uk is immeasurable yet misunderstood, but that is a burden he is willing to bear if it means keeping him safe. Jang Uk is also cared for by Master Lee, a man who sees in him the strength of his spirit and decides to help him grow, but is willing to destroy him if the boy becomes a danger to the people of Daeho rather than a fortress. for the people.

With «Alchemy of Souls» Extending with ten more episodes than originally planned, I can’t wait to see how the dynamics of these relationships transform and affect the plot. I assure you that there is no reason to miss a single episode of this production!! Hancinema Credits
