tvN’s upcoming drama “Alchemy of Souls” has shared a fun sneak peek of the dynamic between Lee Jae Wook and Jung So Min!
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, Mu Deok Yi is visibly displeased with her new job as the mischievous Jang Wook’s bath attendant. Struggling to hold up a bucket of water that is almost as big as she is, the fiery Mu Deok Yi makes no attempt to hide her fury as she grits her teeth during Jang Wook’s bathtime.
Meanwhile, determined to give Mu Deok Yi a hard time, Jang Wook keeps a close eye on his attendant as if searching for any excuse to scold her.
The sparks between this unusual servant-master duo continue to fly at bedtime, when Mu Deok Yi threateningly wields a piece of cloth like a weapon as she glares daggers at an impressively unperturbed Jang Wook.
“Alchemy of Souls” will premiere on June 18 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
