Lee Jae Wook Goes Dark In "Alchemy Of Souls Part 2"

“Alchemy of Souls Part 2” has shared a glimpse of Lee Jae Wook’s character’s drastic transformation!

Penned by the famous screenwriting duo known as the Hong Sisters, “Alchemy of Souls” is a tvN fantasy romance drama set in the fictional nation of Daeho, a country that does not exist in history or on maps. The drama tells the story of characters whose fates become twisted due to magic that swaps people’s souls. After Part 1 of the drama stole viewers’ hearts this summer, “Alchemy of Souls” is gearing up to return with Part 2—which will be set three years after Part 1.

The newly released photos highlight Jang Wook (Lee Jae Wook)’s shift from the refined but unruly son of the noble Jang family to a dark monster who hunts monsters. After returning from the dead, Jang Wook is no longer the playful sunshine he was in Part 1. Instead, viewers can see his deep sorrow and pain glaring through his hurt expression.

In Part 2, Jang Wook has become a monster who carries the sword with which his lover stabbed him and uses it to catch soul shifters. After losing everything, Jang Wook lives and bears his pain alone. It remains to be seen whether Jang Wook will be able to come out of the deep darkness and meet his only light in Part 2.

The production team remarked, “Lee Jae Wook is transforming into a vicious monster who will go after other monsters while bearing the pain of having lost everything. The distinction that Lee Jae Wook will draw with his acting skills will make the drama even more exciting.”

“Alchemy of Souls Part 2” will premiere on December 10 at 9:10 p.m. KST. Check out the latest teaser for the drama here!
