The long journey of Alchemy Of Souls finally completed this month. It began in June last year and was divided into two parts.

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you must know that I LOVE the writing duo Hong Sisters. Their classic dramas, like Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, You’re Beautiful, Best Love, My Girlfriend Is A Gumhiho and My Girl, are responsible for my immense Korean drama love. I would say though that their last couple of shows after Master’s Sun – A Korean Odyssey, Warm and Cozy and Hotel Del Luna – have failed to gain my interest. But it hasn’t prevented me to get excited whenever I read about their new project! Continue reading →
