Shows that feel likeAlchemy of Souls (2022–2023)

She was named Naksu because wherever she went, a trail of heads followed. She performs the alchemy of souls, magic that can change people's bodies and souls, which is forbidden in Daeho, and ends up being chased. Naksu hurriedly abandons her body and attempts the alchemy of souls on a woman passing by. Jang Wook, the son of the King of Daeho, realizes that Mudeok's soul has been changed and helps her. Jang Wook wants to learn Naksu's martial arts and become a sorcerer, and Naksu, in the body of Mudeok, stays by his side so she can recover her strength.

If you loved Alchemy of Souls, the closest series we have are DC's Stargirl (2020), Outer Banks (2020) and Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (2016). All three share Alchemy of Souls' kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lanterns (2026).
