The story of Alchemy of Souls is set in a fictional nation called Daeho. What makes the nation unique is that it is populated by mages, specifically those who have the power to swap souls.  

The K-drama series primarily has three main characters. Lee Jae-wook plays the main protagonist Jang Uk, a young mage whose powers were blocked by magic in his childhood.

Go Yoon-jung is Nak-su, a sorceress who knows how to swap souls. Jung So-min plays Mu-deok, whose body becomes the recipient of Nak-su’s soul and remains so throughout Part 1 of the series.

The series has been written by Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, who are better known as the Hong Sisters.
