Lee Jae Wook Exudes A Fierce Aura That Hides His Tragic Backstory In New Drama "Alchemy Of Souls"

tvN’s upcoming drama “Alchemy of Souls” has shared its first stills of Lee Jae Wook!

Helmed by “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” director Park Joon Hwa, “Alchemy of Souls” is a fantasy romance drama set in the fictional nation of Daeho, a country that does not exist in history or on maps. The drama will tell the story of characters whose fates become twisted due to magic that swaps people’s souls.

The upcoming drama will be penned by the famous screenwriting duo known as the Hong Sisters (Hong Jung Eun and Hong Mi Ran), whose previous works include the hit dramas “You’re Beautiful,” “My Girlfriend is a Gumiho,” “The Greatest Love,” “Master’s Sun,” “Hotel Del Luna,” and more.

Lee Jae Wook will play the role of sophisticated yet troublemaking young master Jang Wook of the Jang family. Jang Wook has a tragic backstory, with the entire nation of Daeho whispering about the shocking secret behind his scandalous birth. Despite seeming cool and indifferent on the outside, he is burning with fiery mischievousness on the inside.

The newly released stills capture Jang Wook’s unique aura. Behind the refined hairstyle, straight posture, and serious expression is a troublesome young man who expresses his dissatisfaction at the world with anger. Although he showcases elegance and grace as a young master, his strong gaze is brimming with boldness. Jang Wook returns to the proper path in life after somehow meeting the unrivaled assassin Mu Deok Yi (Jung So Min), and fans are already looking forward to their chemistry.

The producers remarked, “Lee Jae Wook is perfectly portraying a noble young man from a prestigious family who has a fiery temperament. Please look forward to his versatile performance as he will show off both manly and mischevious charms.”

“Alchemy of Souls” will premiere on June 18 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
