Comments

JD Nov 13 2025 10:18 am Didn't like it and if the last 2 scenes are any indication... I seriously hope they do not make another one.

This whole everyone fighting to make Arthdal "theirs" story is tired. Every period show is always about some kind of game of thrones... all these groups fighting for power. I liked the first season because of the Neanthals and Igutus and that whole dynamic. For them to reduce the show to just another Joesen-like drama in different clothing....ugh! The only reason I watched Game of Thrones was because of the night walkers and that whole saga. I skipped all the plotting and scheming for the iron throne stuff. That trope is done to death.

I got excited about this drama back when it aired because it felt "new"... but then it became more of the same. I was even hoping that there was a colony/settlement of Neanthals somewhere and they would join the fight and really create a "union" of the tribes. Especially because the Saram's stole their land and killed them all. I get that this is very reminscent of Native American history in North America, but...couldn't the writers have taken a different direction and given something back to the Neanthals? Ugh!

This season was a bit frustrating to watch and Tagon and Taealha were very annoying, especially Taealha with her flip-flopping. I'm so not interested in another season of "who gets to rule Arthdal" when I don't see what's so great about Arthdal to begin with. Do people really find this whole "fighting for the throne" type of shows entertaining?

I don't.

Pamela Cuarisma Oct 21 2025 9:30 pm Lee Joon-Gi and Shin Se Kyung did an excellent performance replacing the original stars. Of course the other actors and actresses did a great performance. I enjoyed the second sequel as well as the first. Very entertaining and enjoyable! Love this movie!!!!

Geovan Asen Sep 03 2025 1:01 pm Despite the fact that this series was developed by those who in the past launched successful series such as The Roots of Throne, Tree With Deep Roots or The Great Queen Seondeok, this series was a failure and I do not speak only on my behalf when I say this, the rating clearly shows how it was seen by the public. The first season was very poorly directed, in a way a plagiarism of Games of Thrones but in the Stone Age, with action and a very unsuccessful story while the second season came with more intense, captivating action, the change of main actors had a benefit and the soundtrack was much better compared to the first season, the special visual effects are to be praised, that prehistoric clothing left something to be desired, those clothes that resemble those worn by street people and those scars on the faces of some characters did not really contribute in a positive way. There were also some characters with supernatural powers that in a way represented something exaggerated. In a way the story is related to the beginnings of the ancient Gojoseon kingdom but in essence it has nothing to do with historical reality but more with a video game with the same name as the series. In my personal opinion it would have been better to show a series about the Gokturks empire, the medieval era, tribes, battles with China and Roran (kuns), this Gokturks empire had a Korean ethnic component closely related to Goguryeo as well as a cultural one known as Yemeke, instead of the statue with Aramun it would have been better to have a statue with Assena (Bubmin's father) holding a flag with a wolf's head in his hand

KC Apr 25 2025 10:37 am At first I didn't like the cast change but after I continue watching the series I started to let go of the old casts. I like all of the characters but really hate when Kanmoreu died. I wish they have season 3.

Musenge Nov 18 2024 5:30 pm So glad I let go of my biased view and watched it... loved it, the story unfolded beautifully wished the storyline could have ended with S2. hopefully S3 is in the works

Sam Nov 02 2024 8:33 pm I really hope they do a season 3! I love this show even with the cast change it was amazing writing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I hope another one of my favorite doesnt get cancelled!

dear director Oct 09 2024 4:13 am i m waiting for next season . no matter how many changes of casts, this serial is amazing masterpiece. please bring 3rd season.

Anusha Jul 30 2024 10:26 pm I miss song joong ki as saya. I was so obsessed with him..? Saya?

Anusha Jul 30 2024 10:23 pm I was so much obsessed song joong ki as saya (season -1). But it's so disappointed that most of the cast are changed. The director should end up the whole story on season one by making this story of little bit longer.. This is no longer Arthdal Chronicles anymore I used to love ?

Kdramalover Apr 30 2024 3:52 pm I don’t understand since they change almost 90% of the original cast, might as well just create a new show. Why bother to link it to season 1. Not sure if they ever consider audience whom watched season 1 continue with season 2 will cannot get over the original cast of which character. It just felt damn weird. I must said lee joon gi did a good job as eunseon but not saya. I still preferred song joong ki as saya. I like the feminine and soft yet crafty characteristic of him. Just make audience fall in love with his character. And i think they make more effort in styling their character more in season 1. I watched it because i want to know how did the story unfold. Otherwise i don’t even wanna watch with 90% changed of cast. Thats just so lame

Marisyll Judee Apr 23 2024 10:39 am Quite disappointed it's not so joong-ki played eunseom role again in season 2..but I hope the part 2 is as good story as season 1

Mia L Mar 12 2024 5:26 am I really enjoyed the first season with Song Joong-Ki but must admit I was looking forward to Lee Joon-Gi starring in the second season, as he is a favourite actor of mine. As usual, he did not fail to disappoint. His martial arts skills are phenomenal, and his portrayal of emotions always moves me. I watched all twelve episodes over two days, as I found it so gripping. The plot twists and turns were great and often unexpected. The action scenes were magnificent. The beautiful Shin Se-Kyung was great as Tanya. Jang Dong-Gun as Tagon was very good as a villain for whom you could at least have a modicum of sympathy, while Kim Ok-Vin as the Queen portrayed the power of a woman behind the throne so very well. All the supporting cast played their roles enthusiastically and convincingly. I know I will want to watch both seasons again (probably more than once!). I really hope there will be a further season of this delightful saga, which I don't feel mirrors Game of Thrones, as it has its own unique individuality.

Sya Feb 16 2024 9:27 pm I love season two ! At first i cannot expect the chances of male & female lead character. But nope, i really enjoyy it. Especially the male character love lee jung ki acting as alwaysss. Season 3 pleaseee???

Ali Feb 13 2024 5:59 pm I'm so disappointed with season 2...!!!! But that's what happens when 2 main characters who played so excellently in season 1 are replaced...season 1 just can't be topped!!!!

The only downside is that they are putting Shin Sekyung ho play Tanya Niruha. Everyone knows how bad of an acress she is. Her acting does not have soul at all. What a waste, Tanya Niruha character is supposed to be a very strong and impactful roles for the whole storyline but Shin Sekyung makes it so blunt and boring. Let alone, to be compared with the amazing Kim Jiwon from S1. I skipped most of this character parts because i cant accept her ruining that character. Shin Se-Kyung you ruined the 2nd season ...

DM Jan 16 2024 12:21 am Whoever wrote this drama , they should have giving Ms. Shin Se-Kyung a better part of the drama, such as a princess or queen. She could they could had playing as a warrior.

SHENGU Dec 28 2023 8:34 am Season 3 :

Ji Sung as Eunseom and Sa-Ya

Lee Byung Hun as Dalsae

please

Musly Dec 25 2023 3:23 pm I prefer season 1 than this season 2 though there swordsmanship is far better than episode 1 really love Lee Jong ki here. But the acting skill of the male lead in episode 1 is good than Lee Jong ki. Though I love both season

Toki23 Nov 19 2023 4:29 pm Sword of Aramun with Lee joongi was 100 times better. Changing the male and female lead was a checkmate for winning the viewers rate. Maybe not Disney because many of us with a Disney account coulnd't watch AC. But millions of us did find a way to watch AC. SWORD OF Aramun with Lee joon Gi was more then magnificent

cski Nov 15 2023 6:01 am This was a really good drama. Jamg Dong Gun was stiff before but was great in this drama. I love Joon gi, but I this drama he did not pick up the vibe of Eunsome and Saya that Song Joon Ki had in place. It wasn't sincere enough and I did not feel emotional connections between him and other characters. I liked this Tanya better. I don't disagree with other comments but in this story she was good. One of the best sequels around.

Rach!!! Nov 06 2023 6:24 am The three main characters endured long and exhausting war and even Tanya was once a slave. They changed, they were tired and wanted to end soon but doubt lurks in. That's why the set has bluish gray tone to emphasize the ambience. They are not the same person from years ago. Even Eunsom has gain great power and position and both Eunsom and Saya have became men of war. And I think Mr Acto r LJG is the best actor to play the male lead. Strong gaze, calm but intimidating expression, great in sword and fighting scenes and plus poin great in horse riding, just like an actual general in kingdom era. I don't think SJK would pull the general side as good as LJG.

As for Tanya, I always like how SSK is so graceful but playful inside. She always nail to play as loyal, nice manner, smart female lead with calm expression but always able to help the male lead gaining power. And she has unique way to convey romance, not the sweet or flammable type, it's more subtle, painful And willing to sacrifice type of romance.

And on the other side, the queen part, they use bold color and strong contrast (I hope the terms are right) to show the queen determination like no one can mess with me vibes. While Tagon always look so dark and hopeless, like wherever he went, he's up to no good. Remind me of XiongBa, Lord Cho Hak Ju, and Lord Lee In-Geom.

Please Watch The Sword Of Aramun, it's really great!!!!!!

Flower Nov 05 2023 5:50 pm I personally like the ending of season 1 better because it contains hope more than anything, while the ending of season 2 contains threat (even though Eunsom looks in peace).

However, overall, the second season is more exciting than season 1. Lee Joon Gi's acting is so phenomenal! The plot is cool. The war tactic amazes me.

It's a bummer that we can't understand what happened to Taelha's tribe before Arthdal though. But it's understandable. It leaves room for season 3 as well. I hope they release a full manga or novel. I' curious of their full story. Waiting for season 3 would be too long.

Tagon's story is sad actually. But his sad past cannot justify his wrong deeds, afterall.

MissA Nov 01 2023 4:12 pm I enjoyed watching. Looking forward for a 3rd season.

Blinkies Oct 31 2023 3:51 pm The series is so good except of shin se kyung's acting. She's still so bad at acting and expressionless in every emotions.

Not An Igutu Oct 31 2023 10:56 am Arthdal Chronicles S1 was my all time fav series. I was very disappointed to know that they are replacing the casts in S2. However it is still a great series.

The only downside is that they are putting Shin Sekyung to play Tanya Niruha. Everyone knows how bad of an acress she is. Her acting does not have soul at all. What a waste, Tanya Niruha character is supposed to be a very strong and impactful roles for the whole storyline but Shin Sekyung makes it so blunt and boring. Let alone, to be compared with the amazing Kim Jiwon from S1. I skipped most of this character parts because i cant accept her ruining that character. I hate you for spoiling my fav drama, Shin Sekyung!!!

Thank goodness other casts play their roles very well and make the series interesting.

Morgan Oct 28 2023 8:25 am I love this series. The new casts did great. i dont think they will continue this. Knowing kdrama they dont like happy ending. And i dont want benetbeot to fight each other. But still i want the queen to suffer

Stineloyalty Oct 26 2023 1:20 pm Can't wait for season 3..... This movie is always putting me in suspense lol really love it. Good work for the great team

Cola Oct 26 2023 1:13 pm (SPOILER) For anyone asking for season 3, why? Eunseom has been fated to be the king. Arthdal is already on the right hand. There's nothing to tell anymore

J. Oct 26 2023 2:33 am I forgot the whole story. I dont even know what is Inashingi anymore. I was at episode 1 but so boring to watch coz i couldnt follow

ColdeFiction Oct 25 2023 11:07 am I was so confused because a lot the actors are changed like Nunbyeol and Chaeeun, Yeobi and Gilseon

Fahd Oct 25 2023 4:02 am This is the best series for me this year

Erin Erin Oct 25 2023 1:11 am Season 2 was executed so well that I still have a hangover from it, lol. I've watched both seasons, and the change of actors for certain characters in the drama really added a sense of maturity to the show, especially since it's set 8 years after season 1. Lee Joon Gi is undoubtedly one of the best actors out there, and not to be biased, but he's the best in action scenes (fight me! :p). Shin Se-Kyung as Tanya played her role perfectly. After 8 years, she seems 'calmer,' which, to me, did justice to her character's growth after all those years, while she still maintains her determination to achieve her goals and make a better place for people to live in.(with Eunseom and (Saya)) Jang Dong Gun and Kim Ok Vin always kept me eagerly anticipating their scenes. It was a love and hate relationship, but they portrayed it perfectly (I, too, have a love and hate relationship with Tagon, :p). You'll understand if you watched his scene with Tanya in the final episode. I just miss them. Will we get to see Lee Joon Gi play a proper villain in Season 3 as Saya?

Xkr Oct 24 2023 11:21 pm Season 2 is better than I expected, Lee Joon Gi never disappoint! Same goes to Jang Dong Geun. Hopefully there is season 3. My only question why is everyone always has a teary eyes, is it because it’s too emotional??

dear.xabara Oct 24 2023 7:10 am i will wait season 3 :Y

abcde Oct 24 2023 4:55 am

little bit of spoilers

As expected, Lee Joon Gi gave justice to Eunseom's and Saya character. It turned out better that he played the role especially with action/sword scenes.

Watching this season made me realize that taealha's the true villain and not tagon. If theres a 3rd season, I think Tanya's curse will happen to Taealha in the end.

I hope Momo tribe will still be present in s3 since I love Xabara so much!

I think theres more when Saya said "Tanya is dead" in the last episode.

It will be a fierce fight among Saya, Eunseom and Tanya, and Taealha.

Better if Lee Joon Gi will still take the role of male lead for the s3.

Royal Sammy Oct 24 2023 1:47 am Will it be renewed for season 3

Tommystone Oct 23 2023 12:11 pm The series was originally slated to have 3 seasons, each season was to have 3part each, 6 episodes for one part making 18 episodes for one season and 54 episodes in total. Since the second season has just 12 episodes, there would definitely be a third season

Sonia Oct 23 2023 10:01 am We need season 3 ASAP!!!

roberto Oct 23 2023 7:22 am this drama is like a fine wine, the next episode is better than the previous. 10/10. hope there will be season3 soon. truly masterclass

Rachelle Oct 23 2023 7:07 am Hello do you have to have seen the first season to watch the second one ?, are they connected ?

Elena An Oct 23 2023 4:32 am Season 2 finished with excitement for season 3. Really liked the storyline. With Arok being a teenager, of course there has to be a revenge story. Hope Taealha joins Saya and Neanthal's squad.

cameoong Oct 22 2023 9:40 pm Need season 3!!!

Joanne Oct 22 2023 7:23 pm Best drama of the year so far. But why do I feel like there will be a third season

Miloxor Oct 22 2023 7:18 pm What about setting light on a new season about the legend Aramun Hasura back in 200 years ago cause we are still confused and it show be Lee Joon GI should be the main character too. As please renew season 3. We want Tagon to be dead.

Sachie Oct 22 2023 7:11 pm Just my opinion but I don’t think there should be another season to this story, yes, there are certain unfinished plots to explore but that’s just life too, there is nothing certain about it so leaving the audience wanting with the sought of open ending is a good move. No more seasons please.

Akinola Toheeb ayomide Oct 22 2023 3:48 pm Please Asianwiki the writer has to draft out season 3 it should not end like that tahealha said she wants arthdal back and she’s going for war

eman Oct 22 2023 2:32 pm it should be there season 3 ?

Anonymos Oct 22 2023 1:52 pm As you watched the season 1 arthdal. it ended in episode 12 everyone thought finish, then boom 6 more episodes thats how season 1 ended. about season 2, probably they will do the same thing again but i can assure that season 3 will come. Because 6 more episodes is just flavor to the season 2 not any ending but makes it even hotter what it is, so more people wait for season 3 and watch it. dont get sad 6 more episodes are probably coming soon :)

Hannah Oct 22 2023 1:46 pm So this drama will return with a third season, the queen should be changed cos she's aged her son is grownup now, also I think the queen gave something to Tanya so that she can control her! Also Saya is so greedy.

John Charlie Oct 22 2023 1:30 pm It can end like this there should be season 3

pandamallows Oct 22 2023 1:00 pm Kudos to the cast, director, writers, and production team for nailing Season 2 despite the long wait and production struggles. Please give us Season 3 to answer all the lingering questions and ensure a satisfying ending.

azumi2023 Oct 22 2023 12:59 pm amazing ep 12 i am sure they will be epidsode 13

HoNg Oct 22 2023 12:27 pm It can't end like this even more if they're no season 3. We need to know what happens to saya and learn more about this new country. We also need to see what will happen to arthald, the war, the queen and Arok. Lastly we need to see more of Tanya and euseom love story (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ.

Layla Oct 22 2023 12:23 pm It can't end like this, even more if they're no season 3. We need to know what happens to saya and we need to learn about this new country. We need to know what is going to happen to arthald, the war, the queen and Arok. Finally we need to see more of euseom and Tanya love story (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ.

Jojo Oct 22 2023 11:59 am I enjoyed last episode, I knew it would be left open for Season 3. Loved it, we'll done to the cast.

cameoong Oct 22 2023 11:51 am Need season 3

cameoong Oct 22 2023 11:49 am When season 3 will be released?

Xabara's lover Oct 22 2023 11:48 am Omg, This is Epic. Too good for this rating. Amazing drama. Love both lead and second lead. All of them are amazing actors/actress. I'll wait Season 3... Congrats and Thank you for this Amazing Drama...

coffeeprincess Oct 22 2023 11:30 am ISTG! We need Season 3! I waited over 3 years for Season 2, and I'll patiently wait for Season 3. But please, no more recasting, I'm already attached to the Season 2 cast.

Aprilyn Oct 22 2023 11:23 am I really love this series but why is it already end.! Please make another season 3 please

Shawol x Piece Oct 22 2023 11:20 am I loved the last episode and I really hope there will be a Season 3. We can't be left hanging with that ending. I want to see more of Arok and find out what happens to Saya. It would be great to see Nunbyeol's love story too.

Alolele Oct 21 2023 8:06 pm How could Saya kill the person who took care of him when he was a baby ?!!!

Awlia Oct 21 2023 12:14 pm Is there any possibility of 3rd season? Why only 12 episodes for S2? It’s not enough for me!

cameoong Oct 21 2023 10:58 am Xabara Comeback Omg!!!

karen Oct 20 2023 9:14 pm What a great drama. Love both seasons. Great acting, great plot. Though Lee Joon Ki's acting is also good, but Song Joong Ki could portray both Eunsom and Saya characters more distinctly, I believed they were different people. Jang Dong Goon is great. Kim Ok Vin looks so beautiful here, her acting is good too. Shin Se Kyung has improved here. Looking forward to the last 2 episodes. Well done to the whole team.

Rochelle Oct 19 2023 1:15 am Why is it only 12 episodes? The first one was lots of episodes. They should add more.

Ryunami Oct 18 2023 2:43 am Finally, Roddip appeared in ep. 10. Been waiting for this character from the beginning of season 2

Alyssa Oct 17 2023 11:58 am I just started watching this as I kind of waited for episodes to be released (i prefer binging). I was such a big fan of the first season that I couldn’t wait for the 2nd one. Now that it’s here, people are saying it’s not the same without Song Joongki as Eunseom and Saya but Lee Joongi literally is ?? on the roles!!! I love Lee Joongi and I pretty much watched all his dramas and he shines the best on historical ones so I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed on his performance on this one! Just here to say that he literally lived up to what SJK started and I’m proud of him!!

Lav NZ Oct 17 2023 3:57 am An engaging dramatic, plot twisting piece of cinematography! Season 1 was absolutely epic which is why so many of us have held on these past four years eagerly anticipating the arrival of Sword of Aramoon!!! ...And it certainly hasn't disappointed us?As we near the last couple of episodes and process all the emotions this show has caused, I just have to say it's been a blast and I've loved waking early each weekend to watch the latest episode (4am to be exact) I have never been so invested in a TV show like this. Joining fb groups and all kinds of discussions online to talk about it. Baffles me that the local ratings above are so low? That's fine though each to their own. Thank you for entertaining my sensibilitys so deeply! Love all the cast and crew for your amazing talent! gahamsamnida

Billa Oct 17 2023 12:01 am One word: applause. I really cant understand why the local viewership is very low for this cool drama. Lee Joon Gi is undoubtedly the real Aramun :D I've never been a fan of him (I dont see his dramas) until I found him here. Jang Dong Gun also the best. He is a perfect cast for the lonely Tagon, I start to feel sorry about him and his burden. Even the supporting actors shine, they give great colors to this drama. I hope that it gains more attention it deserves.

qia Oct 16 2023 10:43 pm Thanks for back Yangcha.. sarangheyo

Mahoro Maisie Oct 16 2023 9:36 pm I watched season 1 in 2020 ,so I have been waiting for season 2 since then I really love this drama, the way it tensions me. So am gonna hunt season 2 down.

Zee Oct 16 2023 8:38 pm I am back again after watching episode 10 and I must type out loud!! This is the best historical drama ever!!!!???????The plot twist, the thrillers! Everything!! No words to describe!?????

Shiela Oct 16 2023 4:35 am This drama take us to another level of expectation in historical drama. The twist, the turn of events, the actions, the actors are all perfect for the drama. One of the shining stars that elevate this drama to excellence is none other than Lee Joon Gi, whose portrayal of Eunseom and Saya is nothing short of perfection. His nuanced performance brings depth and authenticity to the character, leaving an indelible mark on the viewers’ hearts. Joon Gi’s ability to convey a spectrum of emotions, from intense vulnerability to unyielding strength, is a testament to his extraordinary acting prowess.

Oishee Oct 16 2023 4:26 am Since 8th episode of The Sword Of Aramun.... I can't take breath!!!! It's so intense, thrilling.... I am on my tiptoes!!! Best performance of Lee JoonGi till now!

Oishee Oct 16 2023 4:22 am The Sword Of Aramun is undoubtedly the best drama of 2023 ..... I waited for several years to watch the season 2 of Arthdal Chronicles... And This drama is beyond my expectations ???? Lee JoonGi is the best casting for Inaishingi ? .... I am sad that the drama is ending so fast! We don't see a marvelous drama like this everyday!

jovee Oct 15 2023 8:24 pm the best historical drama.... i though season 1 was the best but season 2 is killing it! its so exciting and the action wow wow ... i am at ep 9... i dont want to watch just yet ep10 will wait till its over... so excited... love love this searies

Zee Oct 15 2023 7:14 pm Omg!! Omg!! Omg!!! I said season 1 was the best, but season 2 is fire!!!! the entrance of eusoem in episode 4 towards the end was amazing! . Initially I was skiptical because of the change of characters but !!!! I'm glad I didn't give up on watching season 2!!??????????

Dr. Catherine 'CT' Turner Oct 15 2023 6:59 pm The leads are just killing their parts - all are powerful actors. The action is fast-paced, and the relationships are complicated. I hope the viewership supports that finale because this is a master series that will stand the test of time, growing global fans for Kdramas.

Flower Oct 15 2023 4:29 pm Episode 9 and 10 are sooooo thrilling and full of gotcha moments! Looking forward to the final 2 episodes!!

Layla Oct 15 2023 2:39 pm I love it, I saw an article saying that they wanted to do a season 3 but I know they won't because of the viewership. It's not over yet but I already feel so empty ?.

mayumi Oct 15 2023 10:30 am episode 9 and 10 is more exciting… wondering about tagon and arthdal army,, and i hope saya is not betray tanya and eunsom… i need a huge army of neathal by now ???

Kookienno Oct 14 2023 11:01 am Season 2 is definitely wayyyyyy more better than season 1. The story and plot twists are so exciting!!! The pace is good too unlike season 1 that was too draggy.

I loveeeeee this season so so so much!!!

Rodelina Oct 13 2023 5:59 am Still low ratings at eps 7&8 :(

JHR Oct 12 2023 2:03 pm I live historical drama, it tells that every nation has the same story, kings will always be lonely, people will always suffer. The reason is always greed and hypocrites

Peggy Oct 10 2023 6:56 pm Those people that were complaining about change of cast how far

Flower Oct 09 2023 6:13 am Just finished watching episode 7-8 and they are so good ??

- spoiler alert?**

I don't wanna spill any spoiler but I'm happy to see Tagon! Why? See it for yourself! ?

Too bad that this drama was halted for the past 2 weeks but anyhow I still prefer watching ongoing drama than binge watching.

I also noticed that Saya and Eunsom's wig is better than the first 2 episodes. Lol.

ChaEunWoo Oct 08 2023 11:59 pm Thanks DramaFan and Ryunami for your explanation. Really appreciate it :)

Ryunami Oct 08 2023 3:55 pm On Saturday, tvN tried to avoid clashing with the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games (tvN wasn't broadcasting the Asian Games but the South Korea men’s national football team was playing the final match against the Japan team during the same period). tvN’s sudden decision to change the schedule had taken away viewers’ rights to watch the drama and contributed to the drop of ratings.

This ratings drop is attributed to the decision to air episodes 5 and 6 consecutively on September 23rd and cancel the drama on September 24th. Due to the Asian Games and the Chuseok holiday, this drama was canceled from September 24th to September 30th, October 1st. With another cancellation until October 7th, the drama already have a two-week break.

Ij Oct 08 2023 12:57 pm Please has episode 7&8 being released as scheduled

mayum Oct 08 2023 12:55 pm aaarrgghh its a plot twist in episode 8, wondering about nubyeol’s life, i hope she wont die, please, i love her character,

DramaFan Oct 08 2023 10:43 am Hi ChaEunWoo, I usually come to this site to understand why episodes don't air as scheduled. Last week they did not air the episodes due to Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), and this week both episodes are supposed to come out today rather than one episode on Saturday and one on Sunday. I am not sure why it didn't air yesterday.

ChaEunWoo Oct 08 2023 5:13 am Arthdal S2 on Disney Plus Australia has stopped at episode 6 for 2 weeks now.... anyone knows why??

Ryunami Oct 07 2023 8:25 pm The constant rescheduling and canceled airtimed will kill this show for sure ?

Flower Oct 07 2023 8:04 pm I think I come here almost every week lol. But thanks Asianwiki for providing platform to talk about the series!

Every week I look forward to this drama. Lee Joongi's performance is breathtaking. He can be both Saya and Eunsom and look different in each role even though their outfits are the same!! After episode 5 I agree wholeheartedly that he is the best person to play Eunsom.

I also look forward to see Saya. He has been my favorite character since season 1. He looks so composed (but holding so much anger and trauma) in season 1 but in season 2 he comes to show his fragile side. I am impressed at how he can vent his anger and frustration honestly in front of his twin, something that he never did to anyone before.. suggesting that he sees Eunsom as a safe place to express his feelings.

Meanwhile, Tagon... he looked so helpless in this season. At first I don't like it. I miss the old charismatic Tagon. But then, if I look at the whole journey of his life, since season 1 until now, he has been through a lot of traumatic childhood and teens. His obsession for power is a manifestation of his longing to be acknowledged and loved, something he never got from his parents. He's actually a loving person but he needed to kill a lot of people to gain power. Even to the point that he had to ditch Taealha but failed, but he also loves her but his mistakes makes Taealha hates him. And he constantly fear that his crown might be taken away from him. After several years, all of these must have taken a toll on him and he's gone mad. ?

Flower Oct 07 2023 7:46 pm @Debbie I suggest you check Disney+ now

I was not able to see it in Australia on the debut dates but after a few weeks it became available on Disney+ Australia. That might also happen in USA

miao2575 Oct 05 2023 12:33 am @Debbie Haag

if you already have Disney+ account, you can use VPN and watch it via other countries's Disney (Australia, UK, Canada)

Debbie Haag Oct 02 2023 11:51 am When Will We In The USA Be Able To Get This!!! Really annoying that can’t see it here

yesss Oct 02 2023 11:40 am to be honest, S02 at first having a shock change cause SJK could potray Saya and Eunseom in huge differences, but LJG showing both the character have grown up as leader, and S02 is a success show to me, i cant wait to finish all! LOVE

Michelle Oct 02 2023 8:39 am Don't like Disney plus or hulu is USA still we can't watch this series at least I can see the worst evil but this one nowhere found

Layla Oct 01 2023 12:46 pm I was excited to see the new episodes but they're no eps this week ?. They better give us at least 3 eps next week.

Ryunami Oct 01 2023 3:45 am So we're not getting ep 7 and ep 8 because of Chuseok holidays. Sure im not familiar with the actress who takes the role of Tanya in Season 2, but her acting is not convincing and always painful to watch especially when she has to face Queen Taealha.

Rodelina Sep 30 2023 8:52 pm Where is ep 7&8? It should be up at Disney Phils last night but till now there's none. The ratings are going down though. The last 2 eps were so dull plus The new Tanya's acting is really lame ? It should be her moment to shine supposedly... Arrghh! Are we really following the GOT ending? ?

Layla Sep 30 2023 5:51 pm Where is ep 7. I can't find it anywhere.

Laura Sep 29 2023 10:07 am I first was reluctant as main leads were changed but after a while you want realize it Lee Joong gi & shin she kyung gave an excellent performance as much mature Saya/eunsom & Tanya. Well it would be much visually realistic if they gave more older look to Tagon & Taeelha. Plot wise this is more fast forward interesting than 1st season .

Soohooe Sep 26 2023 7:36 pm Im guessing there is another clan/tribe of igutus living together. Hoping they go into more details of Ikomahis O.O i think says may be their god. Us viewers already predicted that Eunsom is two god combined

Jhoe Sep 26 2023 2:09 pm I like song joong ki, but lee joon ki is the legend. Only a legend can change song joong ki in this drama. I waiting drama from this 2 actor every year.

Taufiqil Sep 26 2023 9:52 am Sad.. Karita Character didn't evolve.. huk3

Emil Sep 26 2023 4:09 am Surprisingly a very good series. I'm not a fan of fantasy genre but the teasers are so good especially all those fighting scenes so thought I gave it a shot. The first episode was a bit dry and draggy in the beginning but it pick up the rhythm as the plot developed. The plot twists are very engaging I'm now so immersed in the series I can't wait for the next episodes. Having said that, there are special effects which felt a little bit amateurish but good storyline with interesting plot twists and great acting made it bearable. All actors are great, very convincing. Even the extras did an amazing job. I'm so amazed at how good the male lead played a dual role and how he showed two different charisma interchangeably. It made me so curios about male lead I dug up on him. I can tell he's a very experienced actor and the search results confirmed it. I also love how the series made even the villain admirable. totally worth it. Give it a shot, you may like it if not loved it.

chubbynerdy Sep 25 2023 11:08 pm Arthdal chronicles has always been 1 of my top dramas. I had to warm up with the 1st two episodes of this season because of the change of casting esp the 2 main leads. But after 3rd episode i got so immersed and impressed again with the flow of the plot, Tagon & Taealha damn always my favorite characters!, getting me in the edge of my seat like in season 1, especially Lee JoonGi's portrayal of ES & SY. Yeoksi Top-tier actors like him & SJK never disappoint!.. except for Sekyung's tanya neruha, awkward like i couldn't feel her immersion with her characters, acting is a bit... Nevertheless Superb drama. I can't wait for episode 7 & beyond ??

Eisen deo anga-angan Sep 24 2023 7:04 pm we need the full season 2

episode 7 to, until the story fully finished...

Flower Sep 23 2023 8:08 pm In Asia, this show is on Disney+.

I really love the episodes so far!

Yes the hairstyle and outfits could have been better. But the actors' performance and the plot outweighs them!

SoA Sep 23 2023 12:03 pm Oh, can't forget to mention shoreujagin. He totally owns it too! And my favourite addition till now- best Neanthal, Nosunaho, what a sweeto :) Really complements Issruv.

SoA Sep 23 2023 12:00 pm I have to say that my favorite recast in S2 is Chaeun's. I loved her character and portrayal in S1 and even in S2 Ha Seung Ri has carried on the same energy as S1. It is easilyy believable that she has simply grown up into this new face. All the other recasts have changed the flavour of the characters from S1. Who's portrayal you prefer, in the end, really depends on your taste. I think LJK's Eunseom and Saya are also very compelling, it's just that I prefer the kind of people SJK portaryed them as. Miss Ipsaeng's quirkiness, Nunbyeol's innocent power, even the Ago tribe warriors that have changed. The old actors really own their roles. From Yeolseon to Yangcha to Dalsae. And of course, Tagon and Taearha are portrayed masterfully as usual. Got to say I miss all the elaborate hairstyles from S1.

Billa Sep 22 2023 8:15 pm @Nana: yes you can as they give you a brief explanation in the beginning of the story. But maybe you will find a bit confusion as you will find so many new words and characteristics like igutu, neanthal, niruha, inaishingi, etc. So its okay if you finally decide to check the season 1

First episode fan Sep 22 2023 7:08 pm The man lead its fine. But the new tanya i didnt feel the emotion in acting its look plain.. i prefer the season 1 tanya.. last episode about ago tribe reunite its so wishful that event but they skip that momentum.. horse in running in the water really i cannot see the spirit of ago tribe.. Tagon and tae al ha still nailed it..

omg Sep 22 2023 7:22 am Finally after years waiting, new main cast still nailed it ... i suggest you to watch season 1 summary to remember everything

Nana Sep 21 2023 11:55 pm If i never watch the season 1 can i watch this show? I mean I'm here for junki

Lalalala Sep 21 2023 9:08 am so hard to understand cause so many of the characters changed :'(

Grace Bebero Sep 20 2023 8:48 am Wnen will this be available on Netflix ?

Grace Bebero Sep 20 2023 8:46 am Why can't we watch it in the Philippines ?

Gerald Sep 20 2023 4:47 am If you watching this drama with the purpose just to compare with season 1, you can't enjoy the drama. But if you watch the drama with open mind, enjoy watching the plot, the story, the actong of the actor and actress, you'll enjoy the drama, like me. Both season 1 and season 2 have a great story and plot. And both the previous cast and the New cast, they all was great.

AC2 fighting! Sep 19 2023 12:06 pm Guysssss! U should watch this!...i'm completely immersed with the new cast and i don't want previous one back! It's soooo goooddd!

Noreen Sep 19 2023 10:05 am When will this be available in the USA

Adhiba Sep 19 2023 9:18 am I thought it would be a drama focusing on War.... but this drama is a complete package of entertainment. Romance, Action.... What not! ....... Highly recommended ?

Oishee Sep 19 2023 9:07 am This drama is blowing my mind ?‍♀️ This is beyond all expectations really! .... Lee JoonGi's action scenes are taking my breath away.... he has brought a wild charm in this drama which was beyond my imagination, both his visuals and action is stunning.... DongGun and OkVin duo is always suspenseful and exciting. Moreover Lee JoonGi is charismatic in emotional scenes..... I loved all those reunion and hugs, my heart found peace.... The continuation of season one is perfectly delivered. At first, I thought season two won't give me the thrill of season one. But it feels like season two is more thrilling than season one!

frank Sep 19 2023 6:10 am Season 2 is much more interesting. i really cant wait for another episodesss !!

JR JR Sep 18 2023 10:36 pm I just realized they changed Ipsaeng actor too, I really looking forward to see Kim Sung Cheol again, too bad.

Rox Sep 17 2023 3:40 pm Season 2 definitely more interesting than season 1. Enjoy the story, acting and just concentrate on the drama. The main leads did justice to the story, I’m happy song acted the first season but d season 1 lacked depth like I kept waiting the story to take shape and it only did so in d last 4 episode. Season 2 brings it all together nd lee Joon did justice.

Akinola Toheeb ayomide Sep 17 2023 10:29 am I really love this movie a lot But the painful thing I had in this season 2 of this movie is that why did they change some of those face at the first season, though this season is also interesting but I don’t think that they have to change faces in this movie when they are not dead

A Sep 17 2023 9:05 am I am a fan from season 1 and at first because of cast change i didn't recognize few people ipsaeng, badoru, etc, I had to watch first season as well as casts before season 2 plot jumped way ahead 2 year passed and ago tribe united as well as their costume clothes i don't know why but there is no feel of Ago tribe to it because of what season 1 give us. Anyway sure it can be development to Ago tribe to wear such cloches and fight bur still i think every Ago tribe had their unique customs now they united they wear what just liberators and other countries wear? It appears to me they ignored little detail of this costume design also some other things and focused on plot instead such a shame first season appeared more focused on detail of custome of their tribe what they believed clothes represented itself but this season nothing in little tribe custom just Eunsom fighting arthdal with bunch of peasant it's not Ago tribe had more color more like warrior spirit in their way of make up. Is this for budget cut? or something wear mask? how about cool make up like in season1 cool hair styles. Just like netflix series copied many style should've sticked with season one cool hair cool make up cool rituals where is their war ritual dance or some little Ago things would be great shame hope it get better.

CW Sep 17 2023 7:59 am I didn't watch the first Arthdal, because I frankly, didn't like it. It didn't hold my attention. But I thought I'd give this a shot and to my surprise, this is quite good! It's a bit too amorphous and the costumes make No Sense at all. Look, huge buildings, well made, carved, yet everyone is wearing rags or cheap looking material. Doesn't fit. They should have thought that one out. That Aside, it really is a joy to watch, despite being about struggle. And Lead actor and actress do really well, good chemistry. Actually all the acting is pretty good! But I've watched only 3 episodes, so we'll see how it progresses. I think the biggest shocker to me are Lee Joon Gi and Shin Se Kyung. I've not seen Joon Gi do this kind of mature acting before, not exactly, this one requires a different touch and he's pulling it off well, which is hard after a well established first part . And Shin Se Kyung, is a surprise. I knew she could act, but she does this part almost expertly. When you start to lose who is acting and you only see the part and become immersed in the story, you have succeeded as actors. These 2 surprised me. The others are all good of course and have been for years, but these just caught me off guard. Anyway, well done, well done!!

Ryunami Sep 17 2023 7:46 am Now we know Saya's orginal name given by his Neanthal father and human mother is Geumha. And Im glad Tagon's secret (that he's an Igutu too) will finally reveal in ep. 4

Ryunami Sep 17 2023 7:08 am Finally in ep 4 they will find out that Tagon is an Igutu ; nobody in Arthdal is aware of that except Sanung (season 1), Eunseom, Saya and Tae Al-ha.

Paran Sep 17 2023 6:11 am I'm so sad to the cast that they remove and change ..i can't feel the intense of the story.like tanya and eunseom..and other tribes?

OLENA Sep 17 2023 3:55 am name the costume designer - I want to know who this mediocre person is! disgusting costumes! the clothes disfigure all the actors - from the main roles to the last extras. The costume designer does not understand anything about the choice of fabric, the cut of clothes, or the silhouette and shape! Who chose him and approved his absolute worthless ideas for such an epic film? This costume designer is a disgrace to the entire Korean film industry!

Jingga Sep 16 2023 10:33 pm where’s ipsaeng? will he appears this season?

I_love_it Sep 16 2023 2:38 pm I love it, soooo love it... Watching Shin Se Kyung in kdrama again, make me soooo happy. Love you Shin Se Kyung, you're the best...

Yna Sep 16 2023 12:48 pm Yawn few times watching the 1st episode. I still want to give 2nd episode a chance. Please don’t disappoint me writernim

Kaylee Sep 15 2023 7:26 am I love this drama as season 1 fans, i would like to watch the continuation of the story. At first dissappinted because the cange of the cast, but after watched season 2, the plot, the actor and actress was so good, they put so much effort to show audience an epic war scene, the male lead as Inaisighi doing his action so excellent. Really like the scene Taealha and his son, Aarok. The strong mother and politician.

Zayyin Sep 14 2023 3:26 pm Where is Yangcha ? Bring him back

Grace Sep 14 2023 5:23 am I love Lee Jon Gi's acting. He's the best! I am certain he can do well in his role. In fact I am so happy when I learned he is the main character of this epic kdrama. So excited to see it soon in Netflix

rose Sep 14 2023 1:03 am This drama was so interesting, that were about political tension between Tagon and Taealha, they were lover but also enemy, don't forget about political tension between Tagon and Tanya to win Arthdal people hearts. The most interesting was the tension battle between Saya and Eunseom, looking forward the next episode.

Mabruri Sep 13 2023 3:22 am I saw this drama so awfully.. how these horses run along water.. so funny.. and chemistry of main character was lost.. what a pity

KST Sep 12 2023 12:26 pm This drama is not bad...but hope it will be better than this in the next episodes because the story is not tgat much impressive. Season one is the best up to now. But I hope Lee joong gi will make this drama better...

Milly Sep 12 2023 11:33 am I am beyond upset

Mzeeadedoyin Sep 12 2023 11:17 am I've been waiting for this since 2018, that is five years ago. I was unhappy when I heard the main cast will change, but then I found out it was Lee joon gi. I'm yet to watch the two episodes to avoid unnecessary suspense, but I'm sure he will do a great job?

And more?

Titsky Sep 12 2023 9:01 am Same. Was so invested on the characters from season 1. Not against the new cast tho but it would have been better if the same cast from season 1, because i am waiting to watch them play their roles again but a bit disappointed seeing a different person.

Flower Sep 11 2023 2:54 pm @Shake I kind of agree that the hair is not good ? Saya's hair in season 1 was waaaayyy better, looking smooth and silky.

But Joongi's acting is flawless.

And I've been a fan for the plot since season 1 so I would keep watching. Even if it came out as an anime or just a comic I would still see it until the end ❤️

Shake Sep 11 2023 1:20 pm Sorry i cant take this drama seriously. I opened the episode and saw lee jun kis wig and found that wig so funny and couldnt take the drama for what it is rather a comedy. Junki is my fav but seriously couldnt stylists do better with wigs? His hair is essential part of his look and they messed it up. He looks like someone who cane out of comedy big league or some gag concert. Atleast in last season hair werent great but were still convincing enough.

sowa Sep 11 2023 9:58 am who would watch the second season now ! it is over for me :"(

Linz Sep 11 2023 9:00 am Watched only 1 episode of Season 1.

Now am watching Season 2 because of Lee Joon Gi, a superb actor. Hope I understand the storyline - hope it is not a continuation of Season 1

Swan Sep 11 2023 8:12 am Unfortunately, SJK and KJW could not appear in season 2 despite their great performances.Unfortunately, SJK and KJW could not appear in season 2 despite their great performances. This made us viewers and fans of the beautiful arthdal series very upset and disappointed. I plan to replace their faces with the software and watch the rest of the movie. I heard that dear Jungi has been working hard for several months to make this collection even better, and expressing our feelings does not mean that his hard work is less important.

Samy Sep 11 2023 7:24 am I really loved SJK as saya/eunseom and KJW as tanya. Nothing against the replacement actors but i was so invested in the season 1's actors portrayals of the characters. The show doesn't feel the same

neyo Sep 11 2023 5:57 am Lee Joon Gi never disappoint, i'm here for this after almost a year without any single super kdrama

ace Sep 11 2023 1:10 am I'm not bothered by the recast, but I'm not really enjoying the new setting and mood in Season 2; it feels quite different.

Rob Partin Sep 10 2023 7:08 pm Where or how can I watch this in the US?? My wife and I loved the series on Netflix and now we cannot watch it ?

Jiu Sep 10 2023 5:44 pm Change of actor/actress is fine(tho i dont really likw SSK) but the setting, the mood, feels totallly different too?how to continue?

Joy Sep 10 2023 2:41 pm I was dumb struck with the change of actors... I can't immerse in the story anymore

OG_Arthdal Sep 10 2023 2:35 pm Really missed SJK and KJW in the first 2 episodes! SJK had perfectly brought a gentle, steadiness to Eunseom's fire to contrast with the innocence in Saya's cunning. And KJW's Tanya was much more nuanced in the complexity of emotions and relationships she has to balance. I really hope the characterization picks up in the following episodes and it doesn't reduce into a show of pure violent spectacle. The first season had such an elaborate story line with real feeling. SO it would be a pity if this doesn't live up to that. Have waited 4 years for this!

alloha Sep 10 2023 2:31 pm wtf. too many casts have been changed.

Henry Sep 10 2023 1:18 pm Wtf...

Sherry Sep 10 2023 12:40 pm I didn't fancy season 1 because I was not interested in the actors but I will watch season 2 because of Lee Joon Gi?❤️❤️

Heba Sep 10 2023 12:06 pm Where is song jong ki, i was waiting this season to complete the story with him ???

Ssk_fans Sep 10 2023 6:38 am Yeah Shin Se Kyung, will watch it because Shin Se Kyung. I wait so long for her new drama, so exciting... Love you Shin Se Kyung, Fighting...

Shawol x Piece Sep 09 2023 12:06 pm I needn't have worried about the recast. LJK nailed it in the first episode, making a significant impact. While I'll miss Kim Jiwon's portrayal of Tanya from Season 1, Shin Se-Kyung embodies the pure vibe, though I haven't seen her fierce side yet. Overall, I'm excited for the upcoming episodes. ❤️

Melusine Sep 09 2023 6:38 am This is the first recast to not disappoint! Can't wait for it ❤️❤️❤️

Day Sep 08 2023 11:16 pm Why have to change, ml and fl lead! I love both seasons 1 main lead but now? season two ml is not bad but fl is so bad at acting, if they cast another fL I will watch it coz I have be waiting season 2 for so long but such a waste

Ryunami Sep 08 2023 7:55 am I skipped Season 1 because I dont fancy SJK. But definitely will give Season 2 a try because it has Lee Joon-ki.

Manis Sep 08 2023 3:41 am ohh finally Lee Joon Ki is back. i had skipped season 1 and had no interest whatsoever. but this time I will watch season 2 because of LJK. i have been waiting a long time since the end of again my life. LJK is a very great actor. i have been following him since scarlett heart ryo, moon lover. all the dramas he starred in were very popular.

thanks to the director, writer, and all the team who have chosen him.

Itsmeqia Sep 07 2023 7:16 pm Where's yang cha?? We'll dohun back.. please

EMMR Sep 07 2023 3:32 pm At last! Lee Joon Gi is back!!!

yongcha Sep 07 2023 6:10 am im only sad there's no yongcha

Lexi Sep 06 2023 7:55 am I'm so excited for the new season. To anyone reading this, if you dislike the change in actors and criticize them because you've built up your own idealized version, remember that overly harsh criticism can come across as online bullying. Even if the actors respond with legal action, your hurtful comments can affect them mentally and impact their self-esteem as performers. Disliking a casting change is fine, but consider not watching if it upsets you. Instead, use your time constructively rather than dwelling on hatred simply because of a change in actors.

Both the previous actors did commendable jobs in their roles, and it was their prerogative to decline further involvement. This is reality, not a fantasy world, and there's no need to hate on them for their decisions. They have their personal reasons, and it's not for us to judge them. The new actors are also quite skilled and can portray the characters effectively. If you dislike the casting changes, simply choose not to watch. Nobody is forcing you to, and most importantly, no one truly cares. Keep negative thoughts to yourself and focus on productive endeavors in life.

Izzie Sep 05 2023 5:07 pm Everyone has their own preferences... I have only just now decided to watch Season 1 of Arthdal Chronicles and ONLY because I plan to watch Season 2, thanks to Lee Joon Gi!

I have liked Song Joon Ki since "Sungkyungkwan Scandal" and "Innocent Man" but somehow I wasn't interested in Arthdal Chronicles until LJG was cast for Season 2. I can't pass on a LJG drama so now I plan to watch Season 1 ahead of Season 2.

I guess for many people in this comment section, it's the other way round... Different strokes for different folks.?‍♀️

@Yumi/Stella Sep 05 2023 1:30 pm Apart from the ignorant false claims of this doesn’t happen anywhere else la la la which previous comments have already answered better

I’d like to add that SJK and KJW, who are both in the same talent agency, were the ones to decline the role from their end. It’s not the drama production team’s fault that they had to change their leads. They couldn’t put off the sequel forever.

I’m not happy with the change in cast either and I’m not even a fan of SSK’s acting and while I like LJK, I don’t think I’ll be able to see him in the twin role. I’m quite relieved and super glad that Tagon and Kim Ok Bin are coming back as I was equally invested in their characters. And hopefully some of the other supporting actors will be returning too.

I can’t say I’ll love this the way I did first “3” seasons but so I’m grateful to be getting anything at all for this drama after that dreaded cliffhanger and incomplete story we left back even if we aren’t getting the same lead actors again.

Yun Sep 04 2023 4:35 pm @Yumi, that acutally isn't true of the west. At least not in the US. There have been several times the actors have been changed and the plot wasn't. Decades worth. 1 example of a show that has a similar theme was the show Spartacus. Another period piece. Feel free to check it out. The Spartacus actor was changed. Even though the original actor was popular. It wouldn't have mattered what the story was changed to. The main character was different. Having worked in that industry for a few years, I have seen it happen in several genres. From comedy to period pieces. Not to mention, the US is very well known for having 1 actor for pilot and a different one when it actually airs. Sometimes it is time between. Actors do take on other projects. As they say in Hollywood, "The Show Must Go On". Keep in mind, Acting has only become a noble profession in the last century or 2. Before they were the Jesters and Clowns. Now they are the Clothes Hangers & Telemarketers. I've seen actors switched simply because the company sponsoring the product didn't think the age of the actor was in their product's best interest. Didn't suit their niche customer. Don't worry, they'll have still have other jobs. You'll see them again somewhere.

miao2575 Sep 04 2023 4:29 pm @yumi the world doesn't revolve around sjk and kjw. the writer also doesn't revolve around sjk and kjw. they rejected the offer. they moved on. their fans on the contrary living in the past, busy complaining the show writers for something outside their control.

i'm thankful for the replacement for their couragement taking over the roles even though they know many old OG actor fans will be very disrespectful for them and the show on general.

Yumi Sep 04 2023 2:44 am New actors should have a new Identity. What a lazy-a** writing. Western films has their flaws but at least they Rewrite or Revise the plot if 1 or 2 of the main actors couldn't continue esp if it's for an entire freakin' Season. It's a disrespect to the film industry to have such a stupid way of handling a potentially good piece.

Say Se-kyung is a daughter or a far-relative of Tanya who took over the priestess role. Make up a scenario why the Tanya and Eunseom are no longer in the picture, whether they were killed after fighting for their land (just do it in a narrative form without scenes), went to a far away land, etc. Think of something.

Simp all you want for Joon-gi but that won't erase the fact that this is by far the worst way of handling actor changes. It's like telling a kid "Hey this is Emily Blunt" when the face clearly isn't. You get my point?

Segunprada Sep 02 2023 3:27 pm One of my best actor LJG This 2 gonna be fire.Can’t really wait

Omoblaqee Aug 28 2023 10:25 am This season is going to be lit! I can't wait!! I know the new leads will take charge and I can already feel it from watching the trailers!

miao2575 Aug 26 2023 12:08 pm the logo and fonts was made specially for season 1. for season 2 they changed it. for me poster for this season way better, we can feel the next war coming by looking at it.

Arah Aug 24 2023 7:25 pm The iconic logo was missing :(

jasmine Aug 24 2023 5:33 pm The art director for this season was incredible, all the poster already telling the drama story. The costum for this season much better, have his own characteristic and the cloth design can portray the character theirself.

ali Aug 24 2023 3:24 am the art direction from the first season is missing. even the iconic logo change into modern style. low budget than first season, cast also will change a lot i think. but still support . please make something is better than season 1.

Mikarya Aug 23 2023 11:44 pm Excited to watch... can't wait....

kdramafangirl Aug 20 2023 8:26 pm Saya is Eum Seom's opposite. He is dark, strategist and cunning Igutu who wanted to take the place of Tagom one day, so he can control Arth with Tanya.

aby Aug 17 2023 9:40 am Are you really telling me that it takes Euseom 8 years to find Tanya and his people, dang.

Lee Seohwa Aug 17 2023 3:18 am Hoping Saya’s character would look like from The King and The Clown

nurul Aug 16 2023 10:47 pm Seriously, i thought they only change male lead. Now the female lead also change. Might just create new story la. Aiyaa.

Denise Raymond Aug 13 2023 12:07 pm I am a huge fan of the first season and was soooo looking forward to the second season. I am not upset at all with the cast changes. I love Lee Joon Gi! What I am truly upset about is that because I come from America, I will not get to see season two. This is unfair to the global fans of the franchise. Why was this choice made? Why are we left out?

CTN Aug 12 2023 3:09 am Huge disappointment for both the original main casts that quit and the staff working on it. I understand life happens but the way how this turned out must only be a last resort, usually when the parties involved passed away or something. But... they're all fine and still actively acting. Possibly due to busy schedule? How can that even happen if they already knew season 2 was confirmed, just delayed. If true, really irresponsible for all parties involved. All this means that there were inadequate communication for all parties involved. I can't find any valid reason other than to avoid a scandal or simply industry politics. As I'm an avid fan for season 1, I was really looking forward to season 2. To hear an epic fail decision like recasting the main leads is just plain stupid. The fact that the season 2 is a continuation, recasting have absolutely no merit. I rather them wait a few more years to do this right than to rush it. I understand delay is purely bad for business, but recasting is the worst thing they can do. But the staffs gotta eat. This is one of the most beautiful Korean production I've seen in a long time. To me, this is a murderous crime toward art. For me, this frustration will probably follow their names for a while. Huge disappointment. I don't care for what reasons they may announced in the future. Too late. I'm a fan huge of Lee Joon Gi as well, but this is not how I wanted to see him again. Still happy for him. FYI, I'm a paying audience. Don't @ me or whatever, just ranting and leaving my opinion. Hoping Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won will read this. Doubt it.

Dhenocurz Aug 12 2023 2:16 am Awaiting ?

nobi Aug 11 2023 10:46 am Wasn't Saya part of the main characters? I was excited for what his character but seems like his storyline was dropped.

Kiki Aug 11 2023 8:15 am Seriously though, the leads of the first installment were outshadowed by Tagon and Taealha??

miao2575 Aug 09 2023 11:15 am @eunsom28 they will release saya character teaser later. probably this weekend or next week.

eunsom28 Aug 08 2023 10:04 am Did they drop Saya's character? How come Lee Joon Gi is only playing Eunsom?

dikku Aug 01 2023 9:07 am Was waiting for season2 to come for a long time and I'm so excited for this season...but it would be a lot better if the cast would've been same, then the continuation of the s1 would've felt a lot.... i just hope this season will be as great as the 1st one

alex Aug 01 2023 4:02 am I really, really hope it won't disappoint. I enjoyed the 1st season and it is one of my favourite tv series.

wivine Jul 31 2023 9:02 pm oh, they released a teaser for s2. I can't wait literally the best drama I have ever seen, I am going to rewatch s1 again for the millionth time, I can't wait, I hope it holds up. as Lee Joon Gi is in, I am not going to be disappointed, I can't wait for September, they made my whole year with this announcement

Fave Jul 31 2023 5:41 pm Finally a date has been drop

  Only wish that they shouldn't change the characters

bby Jul 22 2023 3:22 pm So excited for s2. Although I’m not a big fan of Shin Se Kyung, her acting skills is improving. I’m excited to see her take on as Tanya. I was hesitant to start this drama because I don’t really like Game of Thrones but the story is excellent here.

Geogrina Jul 19 2023 1:33 am I want to see it badly

Patrick foo Jul 16 2023 4:41 pm Wow after uncanny counter 2 ,n this , weekend won't be the same

Joanne Jun 19 2023 5:27 pm Thank God at least a date has been announced. I can rest my mind and wait patiently for September

miao2575 Jun 18 2023 6:54 am @ obed according to sjk fans, hr rejected it because of schedule conflict

for those who still complaint even though its your biases who declined the role in the first place, feel free to ignore this drama.

Obed Osei Tutu Jun 18 2023 2:23 am She can act just that she is slow.It is nobody loss if you wont watch

Obed Osei Tutu Jun 14 2023 11:39 am Is there a reason as to why they rejected the offer of appearing in season 2

Jeanna Jun 14 2023 6:25 am Can't wait! Glad the replacements are still A class actors!!

miao2575 Jun 14 2023 4:13 am @Ug the original casts rejected the offer for season

Ug Jun 10 2023 3:21 am Why did they change the cast Kim and song?

Deborah Jun 01 2023 2:22 pm Can you please put it in English also. Love this.

Lee Seohwa May 23 2023 2:42 pm Se Kyung was a better actor from every Kdramas but I think Lee Joongi’s acting will be way a lot better than her!

AnnaMae May 23 2023 12:02 pm Now I just need to go back and watch the first season again..They took entirely too long to put out a season 2! But glad they did..Can't wait to watch..I'm sure it's gonna be epic ❤️

hsinea May 22 2023 9:15 am honestly i just finished watching the first Season.i watched Season 1 just bec. i need to understand Season2.why?bec. i’m excited to watch Season2 bec. it’s LJK?.but i didn’t expect to love it, took my Sat & Sun,finished in 2days,comes with loads of eyebags??.now the excitement doubled????.

Littlechamp69 May 10 2023 4:17 pm When is season 2 coming out I really can't wait

ARR Apr 27 2023 10:20 pm Can't wait to seeeeee Arthdal Chronicles 2. I think season 2 will be powerfull with Lee Joon Gi than Song Joong Ki :) great move. but Tanya already attached with Kim Ji Won :) wish Shin Se-Kyung can give the greatest impact than Kim Ji Won so the Tanya caracter not overlaping.

Julius ?? Apr 16 2023 1:27 pm I am eagerly waiting for the second season, the fast season was a disaster the actors did their best I would love to see them too in the second season and the story line was great so great

Ankit Apr 01 2023 6:36 pm ? it's feel sad , if cast gonna change, the character and story vibe both will change !!

Beth Mar 11 2023 1:46 pm I have watched many times the past few years as there's some foreshadowing in the first episodes that can be easy missed. I definitely can't wait for season 2

miao2575 Mar 10 2023 9:24 pm @Sam nothing you can do since its SJK and KJW who declined season 2 offer .And show must go on i'd rather see the story continue with new faces than cancel it just because several actors refuse to come back.

Sam Mar 09 2023 10:29 pm I am pretty a K drama fan. My favorite genre is fantasy. So Arthdal Chronicles holds a special place in my heart. For me, it works like an emotion. Every cast including Song Joong-ki, and Kim Ji-won gave their best performance. I was eagerly waiting for its season 2. Lee Joon-Gi and Shin Se-Kyung are outstanding actors and actresses. It can be understood only by watching their dramas. But for Arthdal Chronicles, I'd like to see Song Joong-ki and Kim Ji-won in season 2. I can't see Eun Seom, Saya, and Tanya's characters any other way. Maybe it's my problem. I request that all the directors don't change the actors from season 1 to season 2. If necessary, wait a few more days. Anyway, best wishes to Arthdal Chronicles drama and its team. Good Luck.

Pearl Mar 04 2023 2:56 pm When is it gonna be released? We have waited enough, what’s with the suspense? Please declare a date!

Jaime Feb 25 2023 5:34 am When is the official date of release? Really excited but no clues ?‍??

Shinsekyung fans Feb 13 2023 5:05 pm Yeah, finally my love Shin Se Kyung... Will watch this bcoz of Shin Se Kyung, i can't wait. Fighting !!!

Jjeha Feb 12 2023 9:00 pm Can't wait Season 2 \[^_^]/ I think season 2 will be powerfull with Lee Joon Gi than Song Joong Ki :) but Tanya already attached with Kim Ji Won :)

Ning Ae Yi Feb 12 2023 5:14 am How did Jang Dong-Gun be Tanya ? ???

Rowell Feb 09 2023 12:52 pm Omoonfinally after so long for waiting but why they changed the actor??

Oana Feb 05 2023 4:15 pm I am so sad that they put Se Kyung on Tanya's role:( She just doesn't know how to act. She never gave me any emotions :( I will still try to watch it because of Joon Gi.

fujimaro Feb 05 2023 2:03 pm Song joon ki remplaced by lee joon gi that's awesome i love le joon gi so much i think it will be good drama joon ki did very well also in the S1

csa Feb 02 2023 10:32 pm The two new actors are both good, but I will definitely miss Tanya's innocent face.

Ale Jan 22 2023 4:50 pm I hope it's gonna be good. I've been waiting for a continuation of this series.

Olabodun Jan 20 2023 1:53 am It's not about the essential actors. We need the content. It's just an emphasizing moment day by day without season 2 not out yet!!!

Flower Jan 12 2023 6:55 am I am a big fan of Lee Joon Gi and Arthdal Chronicles season 1. I think Song Joong Ki did well on the first season (especially as Saya), but I love Lee Joon Gi as well. It is a smart move to set the time 8 years (or so) later, so that the change of actors makes sense because they become more mature as time goes by. I can't wait to watch this drama! I hope it will be successful.

Ata Jan 09 2023 5:30 pm Lee Joon Gi is a great improvement for the cast!!!! Now I’m all over the moon (lovers ?) about the upcoming show!!!!

YEOJA1BABAE2GIRL3 Dec 31 2022 9:09 pm I'm so excited for it! Go go go

scott Dec 26 2022 7:31 am when is the official date of release...am so excited to see it around soon!

Jessy Dec 19 2022 11:48 pm Every Lee Joon Gi's show will be succeed!

K Dec 15 2022 7:57 am Aaaaa so excited for season 2. Too bad the main character’s changed T^T. I wanted to see OG Eunsom finds Tanya >_<

Me Dec 13 2022 5:14 pm This might be better than the first season. I’m very excited of Lee Joon-gi. I’ve never liked Song Joong-ki’s acting, he was one of the weakest points of the show.

Rachel Dec 07 2022 7:49 pm I am disappointed that actors will change …no hard feelings on LJG …like I love his acting. But I just hate when characters are played by different actors in general ☹️ not just one but two actor change !!

Daeju Dec 07 2022 10:28 am I can't wait to watch season2 please release it very soon.

J465996 Dec 06 2022 8:53 am Yes! Can't Wait! Really looking forward to this. Also nice replacements

April Dec 05 2022 1:16 pm I think, the change is inevitable cause after the divorce of SJK, he had a ridiculous rumor with KimOkbin and even Kimjiwon, so its better off this way.

Sarah Dec 01 2022 10:31 am Lee Joongi looks great for this role, I'm still sad that SSJ and KJW were replaced, but I have confidence in his acting. I'm a little more dubious about SSK's acting, but we shall see. I hope the two of them lead S2 of AC to greater success! And glad to see KOV and JDG resuming their roles as Taellha and Tagon.

Nafisat idris usman Nov 21 2022 5:48 am Can't wait to watch it,but I prefer the old tanya

Thymolistic Nov 20 2022 7:04 pm Can't wait to watch it have been waiting for it so long...?

(#Lee joon-Gi and #Shin Se-Kyung), love y'all from Nigeria ??❤️

Alex Nov 20 2022 9:51 am I hoped they wouldn't change the actors... The story of the arthdal world and universe has so much potential to be something amazing but the writers need to take extra care with it. The leads are talented actors with great dramas and I hope they will do a good job! I'm excited ?

Oishee Nov 19 2022 9:39 pm Arthdal Chronicles season 2 will be one of the best dramas of 2023 ??? most anticipated drama ✌️

Oishee Nov 19 2022 9:38 pm Lee Joongi is giving me goosebumps ? he is so perfect for this character ? I am expecting a fantastic drama

Chris Nov 19 2022 1:36 pm Can't wait to continue watching this masterpiece... God bless South Korea and the chronicles team ...

Isabela Nov 19 2022 1:14 pm It will be a mess... unfortunately

qia Nov 19 2022 12:34 am Where's yangcha?? we are waiting for our dohun to come back in season 2

Sayyyyyyyy Nov 15 2022 2:29 pm Ahhh not shin se kyung ,plz, her face never gives any expression. Cant we have kim ji won or someone else.

Adaobi Purity Nov 15 2022 2:25 pm Big hit

Elif Nov 15 2022 10:19 am Kim young hyun, shin se kyung dışında oyuncu bilmiyor mu acaba. Koskoca Kore de oyuncu mu bitmiş. Tüm yazdığı dizilerde oynatıyor. Oyunculuğu da çok kötü üstelik. Bu yazarlardan guzel bir tarihi drama beklerdim. QSD ve SFD gibi. Eski dizileri izlemeye devam öyleyse

junghaesoo Nov 15 2022 6:13 am Yes finally lee joongi and shin se kyung... I will watch it..
