Struggles The Alchemy of Souls Cast Had To Deal With ON SET 

Yes ,she's the best

Jung so min is still the best naksu

They are both best and captured the three different sides of Naksu perfectly

Agreed

The Opening Naksu scene was epic. I really wished we would have seen a little bit more of GYJ with Naksu's killer instincts.

Same here !💖🦄👍

Same here❤

True

Same

So how come s2 has higher rating than s1 meanwhile fans of the girl from s1 keep saying people only tuning in for her and I also saw lots of her fans said "I won't watch s2", where does the higher rating come from then???😀

@@baiqlukita7774 u just shut up ok

AOS part 2 had a built in audience due to the popularity of part 1. And I’d guess those who said they wouldn’t watch part 2 in fact did watch. Probably many were hoping to see if Jung So-Min would make an appearance. I know I was.

@@baiqlukita7774 the same thing am saying Some of ratings came from her jsm fans too They can't deny she is so good in it

@@racosta562 the fact is this if GYJ acted as jsm in season 1 u pple will still love her Those jsm fan focused on the actress not the story I don't think A0s 2 got more ratings because of season 1 I think is because the two main lead killed it if they didn't do well they will be no ratings so u pple should stop saying it all becos of jsm it is an insult to all the actors/actress

Yes!!! I also find it unacceptable that they mention GYJ so much, but her acting is quite borderline, as compared to JSM who brings out the character more n made us love this drama deeply, unfair siah

Yes, another reason why the AOS fans were upset. JSM practically carried Season One and they treated her like she didn't matter.

@@candyneo7253 GYJ is good as well.

Me too,, i really miss her😭😭

Meh the other actress did great too

Can't agree more with you, same here.

I am so happy to read this comment. In my opinion, more kissing scenes does not necessarily mean more chemistry. Like you said, Mudeok and Jang Uk scenes had a lot of depth and I FELT how their love grew. I did not have that same heart feeling in Season 2. I also wished Jang Uk ended up with Mudeok. And I wanted Seo Yul to end up with Buyeon.

@@bundlewade , the two pairings would've been the best scenario but Naksu's body was burned. If somehow there's a S3, I hope that could be done because Seo Yul deserves someone and same with the prince turned new emperor.

When Jung somin left. I never watched the show again.

Some people just indenial said s2 script not good as s1...but for me s2 lack something also becoz the actress itself bland and flat sometimes...so the story became boring....

@@emmahumaira look even if she forgot who she was, she should stillwater be chaotic kind of, I really kind pin point what it is, but it's not just the Same. She suddenly became a princess, she never had a princess attitude😅, she was energetic and just chaotic.

@@mesolehelen6088 thats y i say,go youn jung sometimes flat and bland for that character😂😂.just her fan and shipper praised her....i didnt says she bad actress....just she not even as good as so i and arin interm of their character in s2....so disappointed...in future she has more chance and can improve...but when come out news she get offer to star a drama along seo in guk and park so dam as second lead,some of her fan already make annoying comment and belittle park so dam...omg...why she got second lead offer???her fan should watch back how she carry s2😂😂....her acting need to improve honestly....she suit cool calm and serious character...but energetic,and all mudok character in s1 she failed to follow

@@emmahumaira I heard the news too. Park so Dam is so beautiful and she deserves to be a FL, Jung still has alot of practice to do to be on their level. Her fans are just praising her Cox she's pretty 😅.

I completely agree. But I still can't get over how the director ripped my heart out and then put it back jokingly when maidservant Kim 'died' 😭😭

Yeah like part 2 is only about kisses or physical touch rather than other extra activities

Tell me about it. I still ask myself if they are humans because their imagination for this series was mind-blowing

I totally agree. I love the twists & turns and how it had a happy ending, yay!

JSM are best fit for the season 1 and GYJ is really meant to be for season 2.

I have nothing against either one of them. Love them both in fact. However, the script of part two and the way the story went didn't do GYJ justice at all. In part one, we saw JSM's character as a very smart, quick to response, very determined and has no hesitation to do whatever including poisoning Jang Uk and make use of people. When coupling with Jang Uk who was still an innocent young man at a time, it created this awesome dynamic duo that was so fun to watch. In part two, unfortunately, Uk turned into the greatest warrior so that took all the suspense out since nothing could possibly harm them. GYJ's character also turned into this uncertain person who the ultimate goal in life was to escape from her own house. The intensity, intelligent, the rush and whatever else that created magic in part one were all gone. GYJ had to play this I don't know nothing, I'm just looking for a husband kind of roll and that wasn't at all interesting. But like I said, this is not the actor's fault, it just the way the story went and I wish they could have done better.

@@marym8799 same sentiments, I mean GYJ did great no question about it. But I don't like when a show change the main lead coz I already invested different emotions to that actor and the role he/she portrayed. It is also unfair to the new actor since I'll be biased on the first one coz my brain is already used to that actor.

@@marym8799 Rightly said. And JSM's chemistry with all the male leads was so beautiful. In season 2, well GYJ tried is all I can say.

GYJ is cool, along The history she picked up a cute personality and she was amazing, it was a different personality i was expecting when comparing with the first season but by the way it was amazing too. but after to know the existence of the actress before JSM...I only thinking this diretor is a very hard person.

True!

Very true - so I’ll not watch part 2

I get what are saying but part two was still good.

So how come s2 has higher rating than s1 meanwhile fans of the girl from s1 keep saying people only tuning in for her and I also saw lots of her fans said "I won't watch s2", where does the higher rating come from then???😀

I thought the same until I watched season 2...totally worth it.

Exactly

You are missing out

You are missing out, just because of simping on one actor, just watch season 2.

Season 2 is just as good. It will give you closure from season 1

Same

Thank you! We all stayed entertained throughout S1 especially after the finale, I became impatient because I wanted to know how the mystery would unfold, so I anticipated S2 even after I heard JSM won’t be coming back. It pains me to see people only crediting season 2 cast for the success of the show. Part 1 did all the work and especially after the 3 months break in between seasons, (I watched part 1 after it was done airing) AOS gained more viewers, I literally put my friends on to watch this show because of how awesome Part 1 was.

That is what I ve been saying. The rating talk about how quickly people engage a season. When I start s1, s2 was just released. And because it was so good(I watch 20ep in a week) I was dying to watch s2. I did not count in s1 rating but s2 , still I love s1 better cause it paved the way

Script definitely didn't help

@@JYPEfan2212 For sure, it got pretty atrocious at times.

I don't think they should be compared that way. That's toxic

Físicamente somin bonita y gyj hermosa y rostro de diosa en experiencia ovbio gana somin pero seria reprochable que con tantos años actuando no lo fuera

Ngjfekn

Disagree. I think the way GYJ played and the way the script portrayed Naksu in S2 made perfect sense, she couldn't remember the dark side of her. Naksu in S2 became a priestess with divine powers granted by Jin Seol-ran - she is no longer the assassin - this is character development, people change.

Well yeah - character development. She became a priestess with divine powers given to her by Jin Seol-ran.

True

It supposedly have been 3 years later when they met.

Agreed !!!!

😭😂😂😂

I’m disappointed when Mudeok (Jung So Min) change to different actress. I’m still hoping that Jung So Min will re appear as Mudeok for the next season. ❤

Just say yall don't like s2 because the s1 are pure romcom with the sassy female lead chara meanwhile in s2 we got a more angsty-romance with feminine female lead chara No need to project to another argument like "Go Younjung doesn't do naksu character justice" or blah

@@baiqlukita7774 ooo god are u a fan boy of that girl why u are putting ur nose in others people bias

@@baiqlukita7774 u just go and take care ur GYj

This is so true :) I expected a great P2 which would made this drama epic but the whole plot and magic from P1 was obliterated !!! to the point that P2 feels like a poor fanfiction. The only thing P2 has is a strong promotion campaign with the key word "chemistry" and "lead actors as lovers in real life" premise. It has no story itself and the whole hype are cliffhangers revolving around the story will she remember/will he recognize her. They tried to compensate all that with bold kissing scenes ?! and a classic trope in kdramas.... P2 is just a huge failure.

​@@music.jar.0118 Agreed 💯 well said! S2 was all hype and hope for JSM's return, not much else.

@@music.jar.0118FACTS

i think because at that time jin buyeon was still recovering, meaning she probably has lost her power from drowning, so she recovered using naksu’s soul. since naksu’s soul was powerful from the alchemy of soul. But in part 2 i guess both are dying and master lee can only save one soul using buyeon’s body as he thought buyeon’s soul is dead, but we later found out she wasn’t so she came back and did what she needs to do and leave the body again in the end..

She sensed once. She sensed the yin yang is broken

Right

My thoughts exactly.

Best analogy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like studying for an exam

Right

Season 1 cannot be beat.

Whyy

This right here! Same.

Don't worry, it doesn't...

@@music.jar.0118 Episode 8,9 and 10 it showed perfectly, I don't know what your talking about. The TRUE problem is that it took 8 episodes to get past the "lost memories Naksu."
