Alchemy of Souls Season 2 Episode 10 recap: Lee Jae-Wook & Go Youn-Jung choose duty over love
Alchemy of Souls season 2, episode 10 (finale) begins with the reunion of Jang Uk (Lee Jae-Wook) and Bu-Yeon (Go Youn-Jung). Previously, the assembly of mages demanded the removal of ice stone from Jang Uk, resulting in his death. Bu-Yeon tells the elderly group that he must kill one soul shifter.
When Jang Uk appears in front of the assembly, they relay her message to him. He announces that he will obey Bu-Yeon’s order.

The couple spends quality time together, thinking they will soon have to choose duty over love. Master Lee Cheol further helps the two get married officially. After spending a few hours as husband and wife, Bu-Yeon shows Jang Uk the inevitable destruction caused by the firebird egg relic. Meanwhile, Jin Mu gathers the assembly of mages who betray the royal mage families and tag along with Jin Mu to unleash the firebird.
As Jang Uk has already seen the future, he and Bu-Yeon use their powers to stop the destruction. The couple part ways as the solution to protect everyone. It also involves the death of Naksu Bu-Yeon. However, the soul of the little blind girl trapped inside Bu-Yeon lets the latter live as a powerful mage.
