It is a South Korean TV series starring Lee Jae wook , Jung So Min, Go Youn jung, Hwang Min hyun with others. It is written by the Hong Sisters. It depicts the stories of young mages dealing with heaven & earth.
It is divided into two parts. The second part ‘Alchemy of Souls : Light & Shadow’ has two more episodes to stream. It will total 30 episodes. It streamed with ‘Our Blues’ & was tied at the second place. It is slowly catching up with the same viewership. More than 9% Nationwide & in Seoul.
The story is about young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the ‘alchemy of souls’ which allows souls to switch bodies.
The concept is old. Written in the scriptures in India. But the person needs to be strong enough & his discarded body has to be guarded, If the body is lost, he is entrapped in the new body forever. ‘Par kaya Pravesh’.
I find many similarities in the rites & rituals of all Asians. Their thinking patterns are also similar. Beliefs strong, unshakable.
