Following the release on Netflix (The Unlisted Season 2), the series has enjoy quite popularity with the K-Drama fans and fans of foreign dramas in general, so if you are wondering whether or not there will be Bulgasal Immortal Souls Season 2, well we are about to tell you everything you need to know!
Will there be Bulgasal Immortal Souls Season 2?
‘Bulgasal: Immortal Souls’ season 1 premiered on December 18, 2021, on Netflix and tvN, with the season finale premiering on February 6, 2022. The first season packs sixteen episodes with an average episodic runtime of an hour. Let us now delve into the possibility of another season.
Firstly, the sixteenth season begins with the words ‘finale’ (alongside its Korean equivalent) appearing on the screen. It puts a dent in the speculation around the follow-up season. Moreover, while the show showed early promises in its country of origin, viewership fell steadily in the subsequent episodes. However, the show managed to attract a global fan base.
If Netflix attempts to bank on it, we may see the progression of Dan Hwal and Kim Sang-un’s story. The ending also keeps the viewers rooting for another season. However, considering the red flags, it is highly unlikely that ‘Bulgasal: Immortal Souls’ season 2 will release at all. And even then, if some miracle may grace us, let us see who can return in the cast ensemble and what the story can be about in the forthcoming second season.
Who will be in Bulgasal Immortal Souls Season 2?
Thanks to the nature of the show, it relies on a steady core cast ensemble while morphing the story at will. With that being said, all of the central cast members – Lee Jin-Wook (Dan Hwal), Kwon Nara (Min Sang-Woon / Kim Hwa-Yeon), Lee Joon (Ok Eul-tae), Gong Seung-Yeon (Dan Sol / Min Si-ho), Jung Jin-young (Dan Geuk / Kwon Ho-Yeol), Park Myung-shin (shaman / Hye-suk), and Kim Woo-Seok (Nam Do-Yoon) – will take up defining roles in the possible second season, although the characters may be different.
What’s the story for Bulgasal Immortal Souls Season 2?
The first season comes to a bloody conclusion when Hwal gets the taste of blood again. He comes to remember his past, and we revisit the myth of thousand years before when Hwal and Sung-un were the earliest Bulgasals. Since the tragic incident, the other characters are bound by Hwal’s curse. In the past, Hwal became human at his death and moved the curse to Ok Eul-tae.
In the present, Hwal drinks Ok Eul-tae dry and performs suicide, sparing the others. Detective Kwon also dies, as does Min Sang un. Si ho and Do Yun return to Hwal’s home. After 50 years, Min Si-ho finds the whereabouts of Min Sang-un, who is a potter and sculptor in that life. After receiving a mysterious photo in her mail, she visits Hwal’s old house. Meanwhile, Hwal’s reincarnation reaches there, attempting to buy the house. Sang-un and Hwal cross paths again, and the cycle continues.
If there is a second season, it would possibly chronicle the subsequent lives of Hwal and Sang-un. We are yet to see whether they get rid of their monstrous origin, and the prospective second season may shed some light on the matter. Similarly, the possible second season may go back further in time and give more context to the myth of Bulgasal.
We have yet to meet Min Si-ho’s child officially, and neither do we know Nam Do-Yun’s wife. Will the potential second season chronicle their future lives as well? We hope it does. Moreover, do Min Sang-un and Dan Hwal end up together in any lives, or is history a repetition of events? Since Hwal breaks the curse and ends the loop, does the fated family meet again in another lifetime? Hopefully, we shall find all the answers in the possible second season.
