Alquimia de Almas Parte 2: Luz y Sombra (2022)

Não tão boa quanto a segunda temporada, mas ainda assim tem seu valor

Apesar de eu ter um carinho enorme pelos personagens, universo e atores envolvidos nesse k-drama, ainda acho que eles poderiam ter finalizado a história em apenas uma temporada.

O que mais me irritou nessa temporada é o fato de que a história parecia não andar, não estou reclamando dos momentos fofos e engraçados que essa temporada nos proporcionou, mas ainda assim senti falta de um desenvolvimento maior na história, assim como foi feito nos primeiros episódios da primeira temporada, ademais o fato de o Uk nunca descobrir que a Naksu era a Naksu, me irritava muito, chegou um momento que praticamente metade das pessoas que estavam ao redor dele já sabiam, mas ele ainda estava em dúvida. Acho que o ideal era ele descobrir a verdadeira identidade dela até o episódio 4.

A sensação que fica, apesar da história ter um final satisfatório e ser empolgante de se acompanhar, é a de que eles só fizeram essa segunda temporada, pois viram a possibilidade de lucrar mais.

P.S.: A química entre a Go Yoon-jung e o Lee Jae-wook foi maravilhosa, e tenho a sensação que se não fosse pela química deles a história não se sustentaria, pois ficou muito repetitiva nesta temporada.
Também acho que o Príncipe Herdeiro merecia um final melhor, espero que meu bichinho ache alguém que ame ele e os dois cuidem da tartaruguinha juntos.

PERFEITO

Que temporada PERFEITA!! Achei que não ia ter um único momento de alegria e felicidade tranquilo entre esses casais, no geral.
A produção está impecável, o roteiro MARAVILHOSO, as músicas... tão lindas e perfeitas quanto antes (adicionei todas as músicas na playlist), as cenas de ação lindas lindas lindas (chorei com a parte do ovo do dragão), o plot... meu deusssss o que foi aquilo???? tudo foi maravilhosa demais.
Amei as referências entre esses personagens nessa segunda parte. As lembranças do primeiro encontro deles na primeira parte sendo repetido novamente... lindo lindo lindo. A parte da naksu e da troca de corpos foi algo confuso no início, mas conforme os episódios foram se passando e a gente foi vendo mais como que isso aconteceu e ficou fácil entender o que rolou.
Amei a evolução desses personagens. Amei a mudança de visual de uns, chorei com a de outros. Fiquei feliz com a morte de uns personagens ai, chorei com a morte de outros.
Sério! Vai ser difícil demais algum dorama me surpreender e me prender tanto quanto alquimia conseguiu fazer. Recomendo horrores.

Could have been better

It seems like they stretched the story a little more which wasn't needed at all this could have been a very peaceful story but the made it was by adding so many twist.
And US many people are saying that The Ml loved the New FL so he is kind of a playboy or something but I personally think that as the new female lead wanted to protect him that's why he is diff forwarded into their relationship some things where really useless and logic less in their relationship obviously but the story could have been more better
And about the other characters their life story also would have been more better.

Funniest moment in the drama???

Шикарная дорама! Сказачно красиво, эмоционально чувственно, интригующий сюжет и прекрасно сыграно. ГГ, играющий Чан Ука, очень выразительно передал всю гамму чувств, особенно ярко и чувственно он выразил всю душевную боль главного героя, его глубокую и нестепримо жгучую тоску по любимому человеку. Его глаза загорались решимостью во время боевых сражений и глубокой нежностью и любовью к главной героине. Абсолютно все актёры отлично справились со своими ролями. И ещё очень понравился актёр, исполнивший роль друга Чан Ука- это Юль, его игра тоже выше всяких похвал.

Самый смешной момент ????

PLAGIARISM AGAIN

Plagiarism comes back. No difference with the first season.
Actors are not good, even adult actors. They seems like children, and the whole drama is like a middle school recital. They can't act and they are not handsome at all.
Nor original at all, only a cheap plagiarised copy with low budget.
I won't recommend this drama, but of course, go ahead if you want to watch it and give it a try.
It's impossible to keep the whole cheap story in less episodes. The new actress... how many plastic surgery did she have? she doesn't seem human at all.
It's torturing yourself watching this drama,

mehhh

I was OBSESSED with S1. I felt like I was under a spell. I loved everything about it and wondered why American TV couldn’t be as entertaining and thought out. I was anticipating S2 like a child. And then came my disappointment. I had no idea about the change in female leads. The chemistry just isn’t there with the new female lead TBH. There was something magical about Jung So Min and Lee Jae Wook that you cannot teach. It made me believe in the story. Not sure what to do with S2. I’ll probably continue to watch it out of respect for the other characters I enjoy but my heart will always be with S1. What a huge letdown. And PS…why the tortured weekly release, Netflix? You’re soon becoming like “regular” TV.

Shows How You Can Love Someone for their Soul <3

If I loved season 1, I adored season 2 even more. There is absolutely nothing I would change about their beautiful story. Uk and Yeong's story is not one for the emotionally weak. They both have suffered so much and still are completely selfless. They do not need fate; fate needs them.

I love Go Yoon Jung as Naksu/Yeong. This season was so different from the previous but in a good way. Alchemy of Souls brought all the genres I love and combined them into one show. I also loved Lee Jae Wook's powerful character which fed into my love for anti-hero characters. Despite this, Uk was very levelheaded, and although he would have loved to just stay in paradise with Yeong, he knew he had to let her go. This feeling was not one-sided as Yeong also knew they both have to take the role of saving the world from chaos. However, it hurt my heart to see them suffer even more because of this. Sacrifices always have to be made.

This is a tear-evoking show. I watched episodes 9 and 10 bawling my eyes out. I expected an inevitable sad ending because nothing was going in UkYeong's favor. However, I ended up crying in relief in the end; I could not have hoped for a better ending. I am so glad everyone good in the drama survived. This drama evoked every single emotion out of me, but it is what makes it so good.

The dialogue was beautiful. The relationship between Uk and Yeong was even more so. I never thought kissing an eye would be so romantic. He was basically kissing and loving her soul. It was a beautiful scene. This drama just shows how a person can love another person for their soul, not their looks. Whether Yeong was Naksu, Mu Deok, Bu Yeon, or herself, Uk continues to love her unconditionally. If that is not pure love, I don't know what is.

Please watch this drama. I'm afraid it will be very hard for another drama to top this one on my list. It was a beautiful watch <3

The fantasy-period drama we didn't think we needed but enjoyed (for the most part?)

By far one of the most enticing fantasy-historical dramas I've ever finished! (keyword "finished" as in finished BOTH seasons because I NEVER watch second seasons, it's like a recurring trend for me, up until now), Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow provided a substantial sequel to the hyper-loved season 1. I was afraid the sudden change in female leads would affect the plot and inherently make it messier to watch, but needless to say, I'm super satisfied by how they went around it!

The switch between light and shadow in the two seasons was so apparent and I loved every aspect of that! The constant push and pull kept me on my feet and on the edge of my seat throughout the 30-hour-watch of Alchemy of Souls as a whole! There are some plot-holes that I hoped they would resolve by the end of the show, and they didn't; which disappointed me but never mind that, i actually still enjoyed the great deal (It would be a 10/10 from me otherwise!)

My personal disappointment mainly revolved around how some of my favorite characters didn't get their deserved justice even up until the very end LMFAO!! Like Go Won?? That man has gone through SO MUCH, even at the end, when he wished someone would find him a wife and we don't even get to see him happy with one!! And Seo Yul.. SEO YUL.. okay that dude got an incredulous amount of screentime somewhere in the middle because of So-i and that bothered me so much because (even though she was a bitch for more than a few minutes in the show, her love for him was pure and I'm just sad that even if he didn't love her back, she never got to tell him that) :"( But then again, it's something I would have liked better. I'm glad with the closure, but it was just a bit TOO quick..

Is it too much to ask that we get more than half an episode (ATLEAST) to show us how they've changed in post-apocalyptic Daeho, and to show us a bit more for each person??? But if i'm being fair, I'm just glad the Hong Sisters didn't present us with another tear-jerking parting-ways ending and gave us the closure we most definitely needed and deserved after going through that roller coaster EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.. It was so mean making me believe that Maidservant Kim and Park Jin were BOTH dead.. I had the ugliest cry of my LIFE because????? BECAUSE I BELIEVED THAT WAS A POSSIBILITY!!

Anyways!! If we ignore our best characters ending up with no bitches and how we have no idea where Jinmu is lmfao... This was actually a solid drama!!!!! I enjoyed (almost) every second of it, and I would definitely watch again in a few years when I've completely forgotten the plot!!

If you haven't watched it yet and you like a good thrilling fantasy-historical drama with TONS of cute romance and a 100/100 cast, this is the one for you!!

A Must Watch

a sided from the much anticipated anxiety of waiting for the next episode to resume
chapter 2 of alchemy of souls has been magnificent every episode had left you grasping for more and wondering what will happen next.

The ending was great the chemistry between not only the main role but others as well were outstanding.

Normally a continuation of any kdrama in my opinion leaves you with dissatisfaction or an ending you weren't expecting
but with alchemy it filled all the voids and gave you an immense satisfaction.
enjoyed watching it my Saturdays And Sundays will not be the same.

surreal

"Ele é a luz que protege o mundo e ela é a sombra que o protege e absorve a escuridão em volta dele" te amei muito alquimia das almas ?❤️‍?.

Em luto porque a Coreia provavelmente nunca conseguirá reproduzir uma obra tão grandiosa como essa.

tudo sobre essa história é completamente avassalador, os personagens, os dilemas, as tramas e a construção de todo o enredo em si, muito inteligente. Enquanto a primeira temporada foi melhor, a segunda também não me deixou de surpreender.

Alchemy of Souls é um dorama pra se apaixonar, chorar e sofrer porque nunca serei um mago poderoso de Songrim ou uma sacerdotisa com poderes divinos de Jiwowyn.

Sou apaixonada por romances e esse foi avassalador e devastador da melhor forma possível, é muito visível o quanto eles se amam e necessitam um do outro. Desde o primeiro episódio eles se cuidam e mantém um ao outro vivos e eu acho isso muito especial, esse sentimento é surreal e de outras vidas. Me apaixonei pela Cho yeong e Jang Uk, me cativaram de verdade. Já estou com saudades painhos amo demais voceeeess meu jovem mestre preguiçoso e minha mestra impiedosa.

Realmente, é melhor morrer do que não fazer nada minha rainha Mu-deok! ❤️‍?.

If season 1 was Action>Romance then season 2 is Romance>Action

Definitely enjoyed it more than I expected (due to the low rating of people here)

Reason 1:
I FELL IN LOVE WITH GO YOON JUNG
Many people seemed to be rating this low because of the change of female lead but come on now. Gyj was literally the female lead right from the start. Plus she's a great actress so I don't understand the hate.
She's so adorable and she portrayed Naksu well. Even though she has different aura due to memory loss, you'll still see Naksu.

Reason 2:
I'm a sucker for romance like this.
The tsun husband x cute wife is just *chef's kiss* Many might find Jang Uk weird for falling for Jby(Naksu) in s2 but I don't think you should think it deeply that much. If he fell for her before, why can't he fell in love with her again? His hearts remember her. That's why at first he's confused on why he feels something for her. But again, his heart recognize her. And dude, I know you expect him not to move on that fast but HELLO it's already been 3 years that time. Even if jby was not Naksu, he deserve to fall in love again. Plus jby was really loveable (AND SUPER PATIENT)

Reason 3:
The chemistry of the characters are on another level!
I personally love turtle couple(Crown Prince x Jin Bu Yeon) Their exchange is always hilarious. Totally love their every scene!

Reason 4:
Great Effects. Some found it lacking but personally, it was amazing. Everything was so original and creative.

Reason 5:
Overall Plot. It was different from S1 but I was not disappointed. I never thought I would love it this much tho(enough to make me write a review.) I saw some wasted potential in the plot but it was still enjoyable despite that

So what stopped me from rating this a perfect 10?
1. Too short! I want more of their fluff scenes.
Many hated that s2 story was centered around their romance but I LOVE IT SO MUCH. We didn't get much romance from the s1 so this os like a treat to me(Who like romance more than Action)

2. We didn't get to see the return of Assassin Naksu.
I'm kinda fine with it but it's just a let down cuz gyj looked badass on s1e1. Assassin Naksu Supremacy!

3. So-i was not given the happy ending she deserved.
I know she's bad/evil but SEO-YUL HAS NO END GAME SO WHY NOT JUST LET HER LIVE AND MAKE THEM LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?! I was disappointed when she died when we could have just get a character development.

Overall a totally good series! I'm already at my third rewatch cuz I can't get over with Jang uk's and Naksu's sweet scenes. Totally recommended, if you're a sucker for romance drama with a good plot and some action.
