Alchemy of Souls season 2 unveiled a brand new poster on November 23, 2022.

The poster for the second season was released by tvN ahead of the show's premiere on December 10, and featured actors Lee Jae-wook and Go Yoon-jung. It showed Jang Wook (Lee Jae-wook) holding Naksu’s (Go Yoon-jung) hand tenderly.

Alchemy of Souls is set in Daeho, a fictional place where mages and kings learn and perform sorcery. Written by the Hong Sisters, the riveting drama revolves around the stories of several different characters whose fates are interlinked.

In the previous season, Naksu's character was played by actress Jung So-min. In the upcoming season, she has been replaced by actress Go Yoon-jung.

In the recently released poster, Jang Wook is seen tenderly kissing Naksu’s hands. What is interesting is the mysterious bracelet seen on the latter's wrist. From the poster, it looks like Jang Wook is trying to cut off the bracelet. The dark background and serious expressions add further intrigue to the poster.

Jang Wook’s gaze seems almost menacing whereas Naksu’s expression looks melancholy. The dynamic change in the expressions of both the characters from season 1 has sparked curiosity about the fate of their relationship.

When translated, the Korean text written on the poster, means:

“You, the only one who shines deep in my darkness.”

The text further raises questions about whose "darkness" is being referred to. Given the serious expressions of both Jang Wook and Naksu, it is difficult to gauge which of them will be capable of enlightening the other's world.

Meanwhile, some fans also compared the differences between the poster of season 1 and season 2.

The way the two poster mirror each other and the second poster expresses the light and shadow dynamic is unreal. Both covered in complete darkness, Uk is even shrouded and dressed in it and she is his only light in the darkness and he surrounds himself with her.#AlchemyOfSoulsS2 https://t.co/GPgX4RtgT1
