IMDbAlchemy Of Souls is a K drama, which has been regarded as one of the best ones in the last few years. This fantasy series focuses on the story of a sorceress who has embedded herself into the body of a blind woman, as the both of them encounter a rich man who wants to change her destiny. The highlight of the show is the lead character of Lee Jae-wook, who is an offbeat historical person that comes with a lot of self awareness. Apart from that, the VFX and unique fantasy love story are what make this series shine out of a crowd of K dramas. The movie shows a modern and raw love relationship between the man and woman - including shouting, abusing, hating, and eventually falling in love. And, the fact that the female lead role is written to be a strong character is just a cherry on top of this quality drama series.
Hong sisters are known to take inspiration from fairy tales and add it into their works. In Alchemy Of Souls, the sisters added elements from Snow White such as a mirror.
