one thing i love about jang uk is that he's selfish in a way that he'll do literally anything for the people he loves so when master lee said technically he could save yeong instead of buyeon but it'll be such a terrible hard choice to make cause it's forbidden sorcery.. if jang uk is aware of this i have no doubt that he's gonna keep cho yeong LMAO

ALCHEMY OF SOULS: LIGHT AND SHADOW'S UK, THE 'BAD NEWS' CHOSEN ONE
(a short analysis on Uk in season 2)
I was talking to a friend here about AoS s2 and how Uk being basically overpowered meant the stakes weren't that high during the action scenes (the opposite of s1, where he was learning and growing and the underdog in every nail biting duel), when I realised why this aspect of s2 didn't bother me that much, if at all. Sure, we saw Uk grow into the mage he is in s1, so we feel a lot of pride and our hearts break seeing him so powerful yet lonely, but it's not only that. The entire season deals with the consequences of Uk being so powerful, continuing the storyline started in s1 of Uk being, basically, a Very Messy Chosen One, weird conception included. We remember how in s1, he was treated like shit because he should not fulfil his destiny and come into his powers, he was a Bad Thing Waiting to Happen. Therefore Uk has always been the trigger, in s2 he is also the nuke.
Season 2 answers the questions: What can you do if you're basically a god? How would people react? Can you really come home if you're not who you were before?
And again, it's a perfect continuation of season 1. I saw posts I loved saying s1 shows a perfect asshole/asshole main pairing, describing Uk as self-centred, and they're kinda right. Episode 1 season 1: we see Uk help a wanted assassin escape her fate at the hands of his friends and adoptive family basically, because he needs her. He was never ready to fight for the world, only for himself AND the few he loves (Naksu, Maidservant Kim, his childhood friends). Take this kind of person... and give him the power to not only be a magical overpowered prodigy and incredible warrior, but also a (technically rightful) king. On top of that, make him heartbroken because the only person he loved and wholly trusted killed him. It's a disaster.
This is how we meet Uk in s2, struggling to and outright avoiding answering these questions. He lives as a husk of himself, separated from society, using his powers in a very limited way. Inaction is the only way, he thinks, to avoid war. He is kinda right: the moment he starts wanting things again, the moment he acts again (the moment Cho Yeong is back in his life), he becomes an enemy. His existence is the reason why Jin Mu manages to turn so many to his cause: if power like this exists and walks among us, why should we settle for anything less?
In the end, Uk has to grimly embody Jin Mu's ideals: someone so powerful can amass even more power and do basically whatever he wants, even burn the representatives of 8 main families alive. He is also, again, the Chosen One of the Bad, Terrible News: the awakening of the fire bird could not be stopped, even if it is one of the main quests of 'normal people' throughout s2.
The shift in Uk in season 1 was spectacular, satisfying, hard won, flashy: from a ridiculed pampered noble to one of the most powerful mages of the country. The shift in season 2 is just as important, but internal. It's Uk choosing to do what's right –killing the soul shifters, even if it's Naksu, even if it means not killing Jin Mu himself–, and choosing to do what's right for the world, even if said world can't accept him in full. Uk giving his golden medallion to the Crown Prince isn't just the culmination of the two finally reaching an understanding, but Uk knowing he, powerful as he is, can decide the shape of the future of the country. Without his approval, the Crown Prince could never have become the king.
Finally, of course, the reason why Uk can grow is the same in both seasons, his bond with Cho Yeong. First she is his master, bringing him to full powers, helping him face his destiny, then she is his true companion, the only person who can stand beside him and help him find his rightful place in the world. Season 2 is very different from season 1, but all the good elements are there, and without it, season 1 would not end properly. I understand why some people say season 2 felt unnecessarily fanservice-y (there are standard moments of badassery on Uk's part and romance tropes abound), but actually season 2 is more profound and thought-out than one may think. Or maybe I just love Uk too much and this is just a long and unnecessary tumblr post.
alternative title of the series: uk and the very bad, terrible prophecies where he becomes a god

The Finale for Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow was an absolute delight and I'm smiling, grinning, clapping my hands and dancing at the end of it ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Thank you Hong Sisters for this absolutely wonderful ride of a show that made my Saturdays and Sundays!!!
I'll miss the beautiful, amazing leads Jang Uk and Cho Yeong for ages to come. They gave me an epic love story that transcends the puny temptations of the body. Their souls loved each other. Their hearts beat for each other. Their love was above all. It even defeated a 200 year old tragedy of lovers lost and hearts broken.
I love this show and it's characters with all my heart and being. With the entirety of my Soul!!!!
This is one Alchemy (pun intended) I'd gladly fall prey to again and again!!!
My beloved Crown Prince!!! I'll make a separate post on him as a wonderfully written character.
But for now.... Au revoir Daeho!!!
Thank you for filling my heart with a soul consuming love story of a Pupil and his Merciless Master!!!

Okay, this is fucking hilarious... The way his face is like: “Who the fuck are you and why did you just say that we are having a baby together?!”
And her face tells: “Sorry, it was the only way.”
And him: “You gotta be kidding me...”
Followed with: “Fine. Whatever. If everything goes according to plan, you’ll be my death, anyway.”
I love when shows rip you apart but give you something funny at the time 😂

Because my choice has always been you (AO3)
In which Bu-yeon remembered that she's Naksu and Jang Uk has to pick up his wife from Jinyowon.
Continuation of previous one shots "I would choose you in every lifetime" and "You are spring to my winter heart"
Preview:
“We can't break off, we are having a baby.” He crossed his arms.
We are what? The words were so out of touch with reality that made her pause in all her agony.
“Not, we are not.”
“How can you be so sure? We sure tried a lot.” He cocked his head in arrogance. “A consume marriage can’t be undone, anyway.”
“So you rather trapped me in?” She inquired in a dangerous tone, Naksu could at very least intimidate him.
“Don’t be so dramatic, dear, the one who came back to her prison cell was you.” She opened her mouth to argue, but it was truth, that room had been her prison for the last years. “I’m not letting you g …” He paused for a moment staring at her.
The Ice Stone user’s strange silence lasting for three heartbeats, she narrowed her eyes in puzzlement.
“What?”
“You have beautiful eyes.” He babbled stunned, Naksu looked away sheepishly, her cheeky burn embarrassed.
“Don’t change the subject!”
“You should come back home.” Her husband announced.
“Of course not! I don’t… What are you doing? Put me down!” She shouted outrage as he simply threw her over his shoulder. “UK! YOU’RE STUPID BASTARD, LET ME GO! GUARDS!”
Jang Uk ignored it all as he opened a portal to their home, and only let her go when they reach her bedchamber, where he dropped like a potato sack on the bed. Naksu leapt to her feet, snarling at the arrogant little shit, chasing him out of the door with slaps and curses. Her husband easily deflect her attacks opening the door.
“Keep in mind if you ran away, I’ll pick you up again.” The mage warned as she closed the door on his handsome face.
“What’s going on?” She heard Maidservant Kim through the door.
“Maidservant Kim, don’t let her leave the house for now.”
“What? Why, Young Master?”
“She wants to dissolve our marriage and let our child be fatherless.”
“C-child? Young Master? Wait!” Maidservant Kim shout behind the door.
Naksu stared at the door speechless to what she had just heard.
What had just happened?
Her hand went to her stomach on pure instinct, before she jumped in fear. She wasn't pregnant, she was going to die!
With the knowledge of true identity it didn’t only came back her despair and pain. Hate, revenge, fury, violence. Naksu turned to these familiar feelings, and let them consume her to distract herself from the pain, she was used to them. A lifetime of it actually.
And who made me like this? She didn’t need to think much about it, the answer came as easy as breath. Danju.
She didn’t have much time though, for the assassin knew now, her soul would fade away with the wind. The real Bu-yeon explained after pulling Naksu out of the storm of emotions inside her heart after remembering. Soon the priestess would gain back her divine powers and Naksu’s soul would be gone. With that warning came a vision, of the world’s fate.
A world of ashes. The fire bird shall awake very soon.
A world that Naksu once dream of while blind by her fury. But that was before him, when she had only been a child, trained to be an assassin, now she had lived through many lifetimes. The world shouldn’t be destroyed, it should be protected, and the one who was going to do it was Jang Uk.
“You lost enough to understand.” Bu-yeon observed her with the face of Mu-deok with a blindfold.
“I’ll help.” Naksu promised.
Naksu went to Jinyowon to plan, to make them all pay for their sins. It was much more than a just petty vengeance. It was justice. To right the wrong. For the people she failed to protect.
And now here she was again in the household Jang.
After a few moments thinking, she called Maidservent Kim and send word to Lady Jin, so that the woman would not came demanding her daughter back. That was no used to avoid Jang Uk by running. Hurting him didn’t work either.
Why I’m so charming? Why did I seduce him? She blame her face, although her body was different from her original one, her beauty was back.
Not that Mu-deok was ugly or anything, after all she belong to the Jin family of Jinyowon, but Naksu was aware that her original face carried a distinct beauty.
Wait, does that mean that Uk fell for a beautiful woman? The bastard resisted her for how long? Definitively it was less than a month. Perhaps he recognized her just like she recognized him as her husband…
“I did it first this time.” She murmured going to get a bath, it was an awfully long day, after all.
After that she went to sleep, a peaceful dreamless sleep. It was already dark when something woke her up, Naksu tense up for a moment, confused about her surrounding, until she recognized the cool breeze around the room. The invader gently lifted the blanket to join her on the bed.
“Get out.” She said quietly as Uk snuggled against her body, it took a moment to realized he was naked. Not an unusual thing for him, they usually slept like that. Naksu cursed yet again their marriage. “Get out, Uk.” She urged him.
“Shut up.” He cut her off holding her hand, she fought him. “You are the only one who can get rid of the wraiths, let me have one peaceful sleep, wife.”
“You can do that in your own room, husband.” He turned his back to Naksu, ignoring her, and forcefully pulled her arm to wrap around his middle. “Stop it!”
“You were the one who got me used to this warm, dear, doesn’t matter if we are fighting. Now, go to sleep now.”
“You are too cold.” She complained.
“You said you like it.”
“I lied.” Her husband had the nerve to chuckle quietly.
“What else did you lie about?” He whisperer to the dark, she felt a vicious urge to bite him.
“Well, every single time I came for starts…”
“I’ll kiss that insolent mouth of yours until you begged me to take you, if you don’t stop.” He threatened her who scoffed against his neck. “I’m tired, wife, I just came back from the Dark Forest.”
Silence fell upon them, in the last months that became a sort of code for them. Dark Forest meant that the wraiths were fighting him after using the Ice Stone power to kill soul shifter. Her arm slowly tighter around him, this usually were the worst days, where even thought she send the wraiths away, the ice magic took a toll on him.
He sighed in contentment as she cuddled against him, giving a softy kiss in her hand before intertwine their fingers. Seeing him so fulfill with her presence alone made her want to cry in despair, at same time it made her want to giggle in joy.
It was hysterical.

me: i knew since day one aos cannot have a happy ending this is the same writers that wrote the kdrama that has hurt me the most to this day aka hotel del luna
also me: if uk and yeong don't get to live happily and finally be free from all the evil and from everyone who unfairly hurt them their entire lives WHAT'S THE POINT
also me: i'm sure we're all wrong it looks like a tragic ending but it'll be a happy one, a tragic ending is too predictable and-
also me: I KNOW IT'LL BE A TRAGIC ENDING OKAY¿??? LEAVE ME I KNOW
.....also me: BUT IF YEONG AND UK DIE I'LL JUST DIE WITH THEM.
