If you’re also a fan of romance anime and loved Yona of the Dawn (*cough* like me), then you’ll most likely LOVE Alchemy of Souls. There’s action, romance, fantasy, and comedy along with heartfelt and heartwrenching moments and such a good looking cast all combined into one! It’s the best of ALL worlds!

Let me start off with the CGI/Special Effects. I’ve watched many different kinds of kdramas, and there were some where the CGI/Special Effects were so bad that I kind of just had to ignore it or accept it simply for the sake of the plot. This kdrama was nothing like that at all, and it is probably the best you will ever see in a kdrama to date.

The story itself is a ROLLERCOASTER and I loved every minute of it! There was never a dull moment in this drama, but it definitely requires you to pay attention or you might miss important details to the story. The cast did an amazing job at portraying their characters and the plot as well and it was easy to develop an emotional connection to them. I will not give any spoilers but all I can say is because of this cast and the production, it is 1000000% worth your time to watch it.

I rated the music a 9/10 which I feel like isn’t too important. For me the soundtrack didn’t stand out too much and it wasn’t as memorable as the OST for something like Crash Landing on You or 2521 (at least to me), but this kind of detail is so miniscule compared to what Alchemy of Souls offers.

Overall, this has become one of my favorite dramas of all time and it’s definitely going to be hard to top this.
