Lee Jae Wook And Jung So Min Get Unexpectedly Close In "Alchemy Of Souls"

tvN’s upcoming drama “Alchemy of Souls” has shared an exciting new glimpse of the chemistry between its two leads!

Penned by the famous screenwriting duo known as the Hong Sisters, “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.

Lee Jae Wook will star as the 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.

Jung So Min will star as Mu Deok Yi, who secretly harbors the soul of the great assassin Nak Soo. However, this fierce soul is stuck in an impossibly weak body that cannot keep up with Nak Soo’s powerful spirit. After becoming Jang Wook’s attendant and secret teacher, she begins training him in a brutal, merciless manner.

In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Jang Wook and Mu Deok Yi make viewers’ hearts flutter by meeting alone at night after their memorable first encounter. Bathed in the moonlight seeping through from the nearby window, the duo makes a picture-perfect couple as they gaze deeply into each other’s eyes without avoiding eye contact.

However, things soon take an unexpected turn when Jang Wook suddenly grabs Mu Deok Yi by the wrist and pulls her close while covering her eyes.

“These stills capture a crucial scene that signals the beginning of Lee Jae Wook and Jung So Min forming a student-teacher relationship,” teased the drama’s producers. “Please keep an eye on them as they open the door to a new relationship of delinquent student and brutal teacher.”

“Alchemy of Souls” will premiere on June 18 at 9:10 p.m. KST. Check out a teaser for the drama here!
