Based on only the first episode of Alchemy of Souls - there you have it: the horror background/aspects, the immortal souls (or possibility for immortality), the secrecy aspect, immense powers, etc.
Other than that, the plots themselves probably won't have much in common.

Similar that the MC is conflicted about things. People don’t recognize ML (immortal souls) or FL (49 days) for various reasons. Both have sad parts and romance.
Just like Hwal in Bulgasal, Van here is a tormented immortal male lead who wants to be free from living a life an abomination, a tasks that only the female lead can help the him achive...because of a promise made hundreds of years ago .........
Female lead who has lost her memorise of her past life Just like Min Sang had forgotten her's in Bulgasal

These two are both fantasy k-dramas. Bulgasal is heavier in plot terms including revenge, reincarnation, mystery thriller. Alchemy of Souls is a balance between romance, action and comedy.
