amazing chemistry between the main leads. Fantasy+ historical (both are costume dramas), they both have strong female leads. There is power struggle in both dramas. In both dramas the main couple is willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. In both dramas a close family member of the fl is killed and she wants revenge. In both darmas the ml is the son of a king. In both dramas the romance is developing not that slowly but not that quickly as well.

Set in a fictional country called Daeho that does not exist in history or on maps, it is about the love and growth of young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the "alchemy of souls", which allows souls to switch bodies.

Both FLs are powerful and skilled in magic, and end up transferring their souls into the body of a weaker, powerless girl. The original body is burned, and then end up aiding the ML as well as being under his protection.

Although they are from different countries (one is Korean, the other Chinese), I have to say both are masterpieces. The fantasy element is what really stands out in these dramas. The acting is top-notch in both, and they share common themes such as mystery, powers, romance, friendship, strong lead characters, and humor. If you liked one, you'll undoubtedly like the other.

Alchemy of Souls reminds me of the Chinese drama Ashes of Love.
The plot is not similar, but I enjoyed watching the progression of the love between the leads. This is something you could watch in between waiting for AoS new episodes since it has many episodes (63).

A love story between the half-human and half-vampire Seon Woo Hyul, who was unable to become human due to a one-day difference over 100 years, and Joo In Hae, a woman who has no humane side and finds true warmth.
