Celluloid Verdict
The Hong sisters at their most expansive — a lavish, funny, genuinely swooning fantasy whose first part is close to perfect, and whose recast second half divides the faithful.

What is Alchemy of Souls about?
In the invented kingdom of Daeho, a forbidden spell lets a soul abandon its body for another — and the deadly assassin Naksu wakes trapped in the frail frame of a blind servant girl. Bound to Jang Uk, a noble heir forbidden from ever learning magic, she takes him on as her secret student while both conceal identities that would get them executed. Two parts, one sprawling fantasy about fate, lineage and living in a body that is not yours.
