Alchemy of Souls 2: Ep 8 On “Gajima” Scenes
One of the first words I learned from kdramas is “Gajima.” Source: sweetandtasty’s youtube There’s always a scene in kdramas when the star-crossed lovers must say goodbye and one of them is sobbing, “Don’t go!” and “Don’t leave me.” From Goblin. My reaction gif: “Gajima” is not to be confused with “Hajima.” This is “Hajima!” It […]
Alchemy of Souls 2: Ep 8 What Master Lee Said
To me, Master Lee is a bit like the Mago in “Hotel del Luna,” although he isn’t divine. He’s somewhat prescient. He functions as the conscience in the story, providing counsel and guidance to Jang Uk. Because he comes and goes in the plot, it’s good to keep track of what he says. A. What […]

It’s from William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” that we get that famous quote on names, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” In a soliloquy, Juliet whines that she can’t love Romeo all because his last name is Montague. He is anathema to her […]
Alchemy of Souls 2: Ep 6 On Cho Yeong’s Gain of Function
As many of you know, I don’t do recaps. However, it’s good to look back on previous episodes to look at themes or topics that were missed during the first watch. Gain of function. Since I’m neither a virologist nor a politician, I’m not going to argue the meaning of “gain of function” in relation […]
Alchemy of Souls 2: Ep 5 On Yukgaetang
Episode 5: The Yukgaetang The yukgaetang is Korean spicy beef soup. Although it’s only mentioned briefly in this episode, I can still create meaning from it. Lady Heo is ordered to find Master Lee in Jang Uk’s residence and brought back to Sejukwon as soon as possible. Maidservant Kim is surprised that Master Lee is […]
