Alchemy of Souls

TV Show • 2022  

Report
Set in a fictional country called Daeho that does not exist in history or on maps, it is about the love and growth of 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. It follows the story of an elite assassin named Naksu, whose soul is accidentally trapped inside the weak body of Mu Deok—Jang Uk's servant from a powerful and noble mage family in the country. The young master of the Jang Family, Jang Uk, holds a dark secret about his scandalous birth. He wants the formidable assassin to help change his destiny.

This is a difficult one - someone swaps souls to a different body and is shown making love with that person’s wife. She is unaware it isn’t her husband so he violates her consent in doing this, even though she looks willing in the scene.

Not actual feeding on flesh, but soul shifters do “eat” the energy of humans when they degrade.

Soul shifters often degrade into monsters, with blue skin and black eyes, and suck the life out of humans in order to survive. This process is shown and causes considering pain & fear to the shrivelling victims. Soul shifters petrify into rock when they die.

People use “alchemy of souls” to swap or move souls into different bodies. This looks as though the person is possessed because a different soul is in their body, sometimes this is done against their will.

Several scenes take place in a hospital location, as well as medical care that takes place in other locations. It is a fantasy world with no modern medicine so it looks different from a modern hospital.

SPOILER: A woman’s fetus dies inside her (shown in flashback) and she convinces someone to use magic to save the child. However, it is later revealed that instead of the child coming back to life, the soul of a powerful mage inhabited the body instead for her own purpose of preventing a future event. So she did in fact lose the real soul of her child due to the late term miscarriage.

There is one unrequited love between side characters. The man is much older thanks to magic but looks similar in age to the woman. Nothing ever happens between them besides some conversation and giving of gifts.

There is a lot of sword fighting, including assassinations & people being slashed or impaled. The blood isn’t too graphic, but slash wounds and burns are shown several times.
