I usually don't write reviews but this one is solely for Mu-deok (Jung So-Min).
Writers created these intriguing characters but Mu-deok is simply a class apart and binds the story together. I never get emotionally invested in any character, but I kept cheering for Mu-deok throughout the season. It is a testament to Jung So-Min's acting skills that someone, with short attention span like me, binged watched entire season 1 in two days.
Season 1 is a masterpiece you absolutely should not miss.
However, I will never forgive the writers for the disastrous ending of season 1 which led to absolutely unnecessary season 2. I refuse to believe that writers as accomplished as Hong Sisters couldn't come up with better story for season 2 without killing Mu-deok.
Entire season 2 makes you miss Mu-deok even more and reminds you why she was the "soul" of "Alchemy of Souls".
