I'm so glad this survived. Pilot episodes were pretty tough and rough with all the noises from everywhere.
I just checked Josen Exorcist's Wikipedia site. It's said international fans petitioned the drama to be aired in international platforms like Netflix. Hopefully it's materialized, or the story will be recycled.
Great job to you👏👏 AoS is only drama I am currently watching. I love its amazing concepts, unique storylines…
Yeah, I hardly watch any drama as currently airing, usually I'm a binge-watcher.
I didn't even realize of the real age gaps until people pointed it out in the comment section last time, lol. In fact, probably because she's petite, Jung So Min doesn't look older than Lee Jae Wook, Hwang Min Hyun, or Yoo In Soo. Especially her character is tomboy and her costume is boyish, so she doesn't need heavy makeup that can make her look older. Not yet... ;D

Yeah, before this drama started people already worried it would have the same fate as JE. But I pointed out in the comment at that time, that show is cancelled because the Korean criticized of its historical distortion. JE has a 'Joseon' on the title, so of course they expected it would be a Joseon era setting. Were that drama not using any era, probably it would survive. So I think in the future SK will produce more of this type of dramas that don't use any Korean historical era.

I know, right. I was here during the first weeks when the rating took a dive. The fight was quite... fierce, lol. Plus people were afraid the show would be cancelled...
they tried but one thing i have noticed about review bombing for tv shows is that they seem not to work as well
I watched a lot of fantasy historical Cdramas (wuxia, xianxia, xuanhuan) and I feel like they mass produce them and copy each other in many aspects (plot, characterization, setting, costume, etc) that become boring and non-creative. Now there is a strong competition from South Korea, especially since they built a set for this drama and others in the future. As I mentioned in my article if this drama becomes a phenomenon of fantasy sageuk ;D
Another thing is how can this trend here? This deserves to be seen. The effort is wow
sorry misunderstanding... It's already scheduled in 10 hours to be in the main page. I just put the link here for you guys the drama fans to read/comment ahead ;D
I started writing an article on MDL about this drama when it was released. So I was anxious when the rating dropped as low as 6.8 during the first week, possibly because of the great fight between kdramas vs cdramas or hanbok vs hanfu, lol. Good thing that it survived. If you haven't watched the drama yet, or want someone to watch it, here's the article that details things in the drama with mild spoilers of non-plot stuff, so it's a good read for recommendation ;D. Enjoy! https://mydramalist.com/article/currently-watching-alchemy-of-souls
This is a detailed guide for viewers who need to have track of the characters and the concepts of "Alchemy of…
The nature surroundings in Mungyeong is really beautiful and historical, no wonder if they built another open set for filming there. The most famous one, Mungyeong Saejae (built by KBS), is specifically for Joseon era setting. The other one, Gaeun, is for rural historical setting. At the new location they built Songrim, and other drama locations like the interior of the palace that is different than the usual sageuk's palaces. Once this drama gains success, more fantasy historical productions will use the new open set ;D
I think they changed the synopsis. I read the synopsis before that ML is a playboy. I'm glad if he's actually not. Besides, I don't think Cdramas make their 'playboys' like in other countries' dramas because of the censorship. Mischievous? That is so Bai Jing Ting... LOL
