Critics Reviews

Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim This fantasy show revolves around a nobleman who was born a mage, but had his powers taken away at birth by his father … who may or may not actually be his father. The secret surrounding his birth runs throughout the series and is a source of contention. Rated: 3/4 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Nathan Sartain Ready Steady Cut As far as the overwhelming positives, it’s so easy to get swept up in this world of fantasy, one so intriguing in its numerous threads that it genuinely makes the show feel like a form of escapism. Rated: 4/5 Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Kourtnee Jackson CNET With action, soul-swapping magic, intrigue and a love story rolled into the plot, Alchemy of Souls treats viewers to a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Pierce Conran South China Morning Post With its fast-paced plotting, engaging characters and resplendent wardrobe, Alchemy of Souls was a compelling escapist fantasy that helped us fly through the sweltering summer. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media This larger-than-life tale has elaborate fight scenes, deadly villains, and plenty of impressive special effects but the characters lack chemistry, due largely to how unlikeable they all are. Rated: 2/5 Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider Alchemy of Souls will scratch your fantasy itch – there are spells popping off right and left. But there’s a lot of flirty comedy, too, as the young people circle each other. Jun 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
