One day, he is hired to appear in a public service video. But the shoot goes horribly wrong, and Han Joon Oh is involved in a potentially fatal car collision.

In both these dramas, male lead is immortal being who is waiting to break his curse and holds a grudge against Female Lead. Both the stories revolves around the concept of reincarnation and takes place in different timelines.

Based on only the first episode of Alchemy of Souls - there you have it: the horror background/aspects, the immortal souls (or possibility for immortality), the secrecy aspect, immense powers, etc.

Other than that, the plots themselves probably won't have much in common.

Both of the dramas are of fantasy genre and deal with Leads who've lived for hundreds of years and other leads who've reincarnated
Recommended by picky_lover
Both these dramas are centered on a mythical
and immortal creature who used to be human and whose goal is to find the person who'll be able to help them end the curse they are subjected to.

The dramas are high-budgeted with good acting and high production value and cinematography.

Similar that the MC is conflicted about things. People don’t recognize ML (immortal souls) or FL (49 days) for various reasons. Both have sad parts and romance.

Just like Hwal in Bulgasal, Van here is a tormented immortal male lead who wants to be free from living a life an abomination, a tasks that only the female lead can help the him achive...because of a promise made hundreds of years ago .........
Female lead who has lost her memorise of her past life Just like Min Sang had forgotten her's in Bulgasal
But Island definately has a better pacing and lottttt more action than Bulgasal ever had...

Both are dark fantasy dramas about an immortal man and a woman with a traumatic past. The male leads learn about their pasts and their connection to the female lead. Both MLs are initially cold and focused on a mission but find themselves caring about the people around them. Both are tragic stories that involve a lot of death.

Both dramas have gorgeous cinematography, beautiful soundtracks, and a haunting tone. The romance between the main couple is star-crossed and tragic and the ending open/bittersweet.
