Alchemy of Souls Episode 17 Recap
Episode 17 continues the reunion, however, while Jang Uk is unable to recognise Jang Kang, Jin Ho-kyung grows suspicious about So Yi. Park Jin is going around luring people with the power of the ice stone and giving Jin Ho-kyung the responsibility to protect it.
She then takes it to a Unanimous assembly where she brings it out into the world while trying to get everyone present to go against Songrim. However, while Park Jin is adamant about destroying the stone, Jang Uk appears and informs everyone that master Seo’s will for the ice stone is in his book- Words of the Heart.
Later, he reveals the truth about the queen to the crown prince and wants to take this opportunity to find her. Elsewhere, for the king’s amusement, Mu-deok is the experimental subject to test the powers of the ice stone. Standing in front of Jin Ho-kyung, she is ready to die and be brought to life.
However, while being choked, memories of Jin Bu-yeon’s childhood flash by and she calls out “Mother” which shocks Jin Ho-kyung. A storm starts brewing.
