tvN’s “Alchemy of Souls” has shared a new making video!
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 tells the story of characters whose fates become twisted due to magic that swaps people’s souls.
The clip begins with Lee Jae Wook and Shin Seung Ho in discussions with the director. As Lee Jae Wook and Jung So Min later practice a heartfelt scene, Shin Seung Ho watches from the side, looking lonely. He cracks everyone up as he asks, “Director, it’s a bit too extreme if I glare at them, right?”
On an early filming day, Lee Jae Wook and Hwang Minhyun rehearse their action scene. Lee Jae Wook comments, “When I do one [move], I forget the next, and do another one then forget the next,” leading the two to continue practicing. While watching the main action scene unfold, Shin Seung Ho and Yoo In Soo adorably start their own battle as they slowly chase each other around the set.
Later, Lee Jae Wook and Jung So Min prepare for their kiss scene by sharing ideas with the director. Jung So Min asks, “It’s just a peck, right?” The director responds, “It’s just a peck,” then begins arranging their body language.
Without actually touching lips, the actors try out the angle they discussed but the director calls out with a giggle, “They didn’t touch! We can see it all.” Lee Jae Wook and Jung So Min then go all out, creating their characters’ perfect first kiss.
