The last straw for me was Uk contemplating doing his "duty" as a hunter to slay Naksu.I can tolerate plot holes…
I took that to mean that “Daeho” would demand that if it was ever known so neither of them can acknowledge it so that Uk is not put in that position with outside pressure. I hated the scene. It just took alllllll the climax out and felt like a terrible way to write it.
I don’t want to judge how people express themselves but it’s a little concerning to me how some people are…
This is nothing to me……binge watching a 60 episode Xianxia Cdrama ….. now THATS traumatic.
There are so so soooo many more good shows you can throw yourself into that will help you cope with /distract you from real life’s obstacles. The only way to get over the end of one is to start another! I can always give you rec’s!
some of y'all are being overdramatic fr......yeah it might be a sad ending we are all anxious but nobody knows…
I don’t want to judge how people express themselves but it’s a little concerning to me how some people are reacting. Hopefully it’s just hyperbole and being over dramatic otherwise I’m genuinely worried for some people who seem to not able to separate fiction/art from reality. I’ve gotten extremely attached to characters and cried for days in mourning when a show has ended but some of these comments today are genuinely overboard and worrying me for peoples mental stability 😣

He said that because it was the only way to get out of the assembly alive and Naksu knew he had to say it to get him out alive which is why she says it and he repeats it. It’s a whole escape strategy they are both in on to keep him alive and not giving up the ice stone.
Wanna take some moment to praise Hwang Min Hyun.the fellow alchemists who comment here since first part can remember…
He’s honestly amazing and beautiful and I love him in real life too! He’s super similar to Seo Yul in a very endearing way and seeing him with his real mom and how polite and sweet and well mannered he is I kind of fell in love with him as a real person. I thought he improved a lot in Part 2 and conveyed the nuances of his character so well.
Watching the conversation between Master Lee and Bu Yeong's mother now. Who is JIn Seol-ran? I think I used the…
She is the original and most powerful priestess who was blind and shown in the scenes from 200 years ago. The invisible poem was written for and about her.
Ohhh f.... now they released the whole thing of the leaked pics now Im freaking scared what's gonna happened after…
And now they reveal that she gets married as her real real name “Cho Yeong” which is lovely but damn it would have been lovelier and more impactful if they didn’t release this in full like this. And this seems super likely to be before all hell breaks loose and definitely not after IE: this is not the ending so everybody brace yourselves!
Ep 10 Text Preview Jang Uk and Jin Buyeon(Yeong) holds their wedding ceremony and becomes a real married couple. On one hand, Jinmu who shifts his soul to Seo Yun-o prepares to take the fire bird out of Jinyowon and wake it up but Like Seo Gyeong and Jin Seolran stopping the Great Chaos from a long time ago, Jang Uk and Jin Buyeon (Yeong) protects Daeho!!
It’s very very very clear to me now that Part 2 has suffered massively from editing it down. The actors said they filmed way way way more material all of which was cut out and the show has clearly suffered for it.
I think some people's expectations were too high here. Haven't you learned anything from watching other kdramas…
No I didn’t have the same anticlimactic feelings during Part 1. Others did but I did not. I also don’t care about happy vs sad ending. Half or more of my favorite shows have sad endings. I just care about how they get there, the stakes and the reveals. I don’t obsess over the plot having to have a fairy tale ending just a story that is well executed 🤷🏻♀️
Unfortunately I agree with you. I’m so bummed at how much they had to work with, how epic it could have been…
Unless some huge new secret is revealed and it brings a new epic dimension to the story nothing else that happens will save this Part 2 for me.
Part 2 has really completely rested on the love we all had for Part 1. In a way, I feel like this Part 2 has been made in a way where they took everything created in Part 1 and felt like they could just milk us and those nostalgic feelings we felt without giving us much of anything really dynamic in Part 2 plot wise. I LOVED the romance of Part 2 but it completely has fizzled for me as it’s played out into todays episode. Like literally this reveal and discovery for both of our leads could not feel less epic to me 🙃
Alchemy of Souls made me realize what terrible writers the Hong Sisters actually are.... they have been adding…
They have flashes of brilliance but they do not know how to fully flesh out their stories and while I will still watch their shows I will now know for sure to keep my expectations in serious check because this was my last straw with them. This has been bad bad writing
After tonight’s episode, it made my rating drop 2 points, 8 is now the highest because of all the nonsensical…
Unfortunately I agree with you. I’m so bummed at how much they had to work with, how epic it could have been and how totally lame it ended up. Super disappointed with these last 3 episodes.
I watched every single episode of Part 1 multiple times and usually would watch each one again right after it aired. I did the same with the first 6 episodes of Part 2.
But I haven’t wanted to rewatch these last 3 episodes really at all which is such a bummer…… but they just haven’t been nearly as interesting or compelling. There was so so so soooo much buildup and so little of it has actually become anything. Naksu living as BuYeon and the entire reveal has been so darn anticlimactic, so much of the tension and suspense has been diluted and removed and the stakes feel so mild and predictable now…….
Unless something phenomenal happens tomorrow I will be truly let down by this Part 2 and almost wish it had ended at Part 1.
