You made both actors perfectly matched why can’t you do another project with the same Imelda Villanueva May 09 2026 1:06 pm I am incredibly disappointed with how the story of perfect crown series will end. I believe you are responsible as a director and the writer of this series . The genre of this series is romantic comedy not political thriller and yet this series shows so minimal of the two lead stars romantic scenes. I speak so highly about this series since it’s started, everything seems amazingly and perfectly done when episodes 1-7 but after that there was no flow of the actual romantic story about the two lead stars instead bombarded with boring political scenes. I get it you have to include to increase the excitement of the viewers but don’t over do it which you have done. If I wanted to watch the series based on political thriller I will not watch a Korean series purely because you guys are not there yet to direct political series. Then you might argue that not all of the episodes are with scenes involving politics and intrigues but then again I want you to review every episode and pretty much all of them associated with pathetic thrills of politics. The series is coming to an end there is only 2 episode left and yet by the look of it very small chances of seeing a lovely romatics scenes between Byron wooseok and IU .And I bet like majority of Korean series designated genre Romantic Comedy you will show the lovely happy and romantic scenes in the last few minutes of the end of the series. I am Australian I watched episode by episode every Saturday and Sunday at 0030 hrs here in Australia. I felt being cheated and denied of my excitement and loyalty towards this series. You and writer has failed enormously to deliver this series. Please have a think thoroughly of this letter of complaint of mine because I truly believe there are many people like me who shared the same sentiment. Again I am so so so disappointed and I will no longer watch the last episodes of Perfect Crown. Kk Apr 20 2026 12:31 am The first drama I watched was What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. That’s where I first knew you. Until now, whenever I feel confused about what to watch, I always come back to this drama. It is funny, heartwarming, and always makes me smile and blush. I have rewatched it many times, and it never gets boring. This year, I am so, so happy with Perfect Crown! This drama feels perfect, it makes me laugh, smile shyly, and feel happy in every episode. From episode 1 until now (episode 4), I really enjoy every moment. I truly hope the story continues beautifully until episode 16. We really need more dramas like this, light, romantic, and uplifting. And the casting is perfect. Choosing IU and Byeon Woo Seok was absolutely the right decision. Seeing Byeon Woo Seok being shy on screen makes me, as a viewer, fall in love as well. This drama really makes my day brighter. Thank you Park Joon-Hwa, you’re the Best! Arielle Rodriguez Apr 12 2026 7:24 am release the episode 3 asap send it to my gmail k Dana-Aris Berghezan May 29 2024 11:00 am Dear Sir Park Joon-Hwa You brightened my life. Three months ago I knew almost nothing about South Korean cinema. (I humbly ask for forgiveness for this unforgivable ignorance). I owe to the brilliant series "Alchemy of Souls" the immense interest that this production aroused in me towards everything that represents the history, traditions, culture, art and artistic industry of your country. Thank you Mr. Park Joon-Hwa & the entire production team for the tremendous work and the incredible talent both generously invested in your masterpiece "Alchemy of Souls". I am absolutely fascinated by the creative force felt all over to "Alchemy of Souls". Thank you "Alchemy of Souls" for giving me Korea. For all of you who were in front of the camera as well as the ones behind it, I bend down with the deepest respect, admiration and sincere gratitude. Thousands Congratulations to everyone! Keep on be one of the best! I'll be here always waiting news :)Dana-Aris BERGHEZAN from Bucharest-Romania Heath Tuttle Sep 09 2023 12:11 pm Dear Park: We have almost finished watching your “Because This Is My First Life” and are enthralled by it. It is a brilliantly-done series: Highest Congratulations. Sincerely yours, Heath Tuttle Durham, North Carolina uma Aug 10 2023 8:45 am We want more about the Achemy of Souls world. Such a good series with amazing characters cannot simply end. Their lives must continue. Fight must go on. Please, sequel/season 3. We know it ends well but we want to see more of their happy lives and their fight together. Also Seo Yul, Crown Prince, Lady Yun Ok deserve some romance.. Genesis May 13 2023 2:49 pm Alchemy of souls was beautiful, please continue bringing masterpieces like this into the world Humaira H. Jan 10 2023 4:16 pm loved Alchemy of Souls both part 1 and part 2. Would love if we could get a spinoff/ part 3, there's so much about that world that can be explored further. The directing in those first few eps from part 2 was absolutely magical. Cho young Jan 09 2023 10:32 am Please we need another season of Alchemy of souls. we have so many questions, we love the characters & we didnt even get to see jang uk’s kids, they didnt capture all the monsters & the crown prince needs a wife. I can wait a year or even a year and half but please dont end the show here. Im so invested, its my escape in this insane world. Hoa - from Vietnam Jan 09 2023 10:14 am Alchemy of Souls has an amazing script that is comparable with many-episode Chinese ancient costumes drama, yet the acting in the film triggers me: it was directed as if it is a teen drama, with obvious frowns, and fluctuating character moods that aren't conveyed delicately.

Totally unacceptable!!!!! Car La Jan 06 2023 10:52 am Please season 3. We need more of it, this season 2 needed to be more elaborated and more episodes just to have closure about Naksu powers, UK’s ice stone should’ve been more intense than focusing only on romance. We need more action. 제발. 고려하다 Calvin Jan 02 2023 8:42 pm Please convert Alchemy of Souls to English speaking. Love show. Johnathan Coon Jan 01 2023 12:54 pm Because of Alchemy of Souls you are my all time favorite Director. To all who had part in the making of this series, please let them know that I have never watched anything that has touched my soul as deeply as this story. I love it and hope you continue producing it for quite some time. Thank you ? Lili Dec 25 2022 10:38 am Dear Anyone who makes alchemy of souls part 2 exists Please make it happy ending Very happy ending please Thank you ZombieKat Dec 17 2022 3:21 pm Your look makes you who you are. I’ve been watching season 2 and I am too hurt. No matter what, I want my Mudeok back, the soul of Naksu in the body of Buyeon! I’m too sad to continue watching season 2 ? I want Jung So Min back!!! Instead of going with logic, I think part of the accountability of being a good director, is to listen to what the people want. We want to see the original pair together, even if it’s just at the end of season 2 - please make it happen. Both my husband and I - we are too hurt to see our hero with an unfamiliar face. This is about trust and hope more than anything else! oggy Dec 11 2022 6:59 am plsss bring back our mudeok ????, she was the reason i watched this show. pls dont change the main character???? im more interested in mudeok stories than naksu tbh, it wont make sense if yall change the main character pls omggg. Nikki Aug 30 2022 3:59 pm I am so glad I came across this movie. Please allow the viewers to see the next season sooner& do not change any of the characters.

Pity I get to view in stages. 27 -06-2022 5:46am Sarojini Mitra Aug 08 2021 7:26 am It's been 3 years to What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and all the fans have been eagerly waiting for a second season. I beg the director Park Joon-Hwa to do something about it. We all loved the Park-Park couple so much. The new season can showcase how Secretary Kim is managing her married life and work life, her relationship with her in laws or maybe a little about their honeymoon, etc. I'm begging Director Joon-Hwa to come back with the same team. Hope our dreams will come true. Eli Aug 08 2021 3:19 am Sir, your drama productions are great!!! I love most of them, especially comedy unsure in your dramas are always on point. I'm here waiting patiently and excitedly for your next great romance comedy drama sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!
