View Comments

• I think tvn and studio dragon over confident with drama. They should make only 16 episode and never make season,since in Korea season drama never do well. I beat this drama will be flop like encounter cause UAA and blossom entertainment media playing so hard about song song couple and make their image going downhill. And sjk-shk acting never improve after mediocre drama descendants of the sun. Bye✌️

• Oh please no... Main reason why I watch K-Dramas but not American series is that when I start a series I know I'll get an ending in the foreseeable future. Everything about this drama seems really interesting but a structure like that is actually a reason not to watch for me.

• Not fond of this idea. While I enjoyed "Kingdom"...the long wait really annoyed me. Idk if I am interested to watch the second season since I am fed up that they make me having to wait till next year???

  • Not really sure for asadal but maybe just like american series the season 2 have another story, not like kingdom that the original episode was 10 but they divide it into 2 season,hoping for asadal to be like that,

    • Kingdom was always meant to be a multi season format like all Netflix shows. They have a plan for it to be 3-4 seasons at least. I think Asdal is just copying the idea after the massive success of Kingdom.

  • Maybe u dont follow but it was already in the news last yr, before kingdom even air, and nope kingdom was a 10epi drama when its was 1st announce, before they start filming they divide it into 2 seasons,massive success?

• Tvn should wait when this drama airing before make season, sound flop already.

• There are pros and cons. I can see if this structure is successful, the production can really milk the CF money. If the story is a sitcom like Friends, it could work really well. However, if I’m following an exciting story it would lose me as an audience. I’ll just find other stories to occupy the time and forget about it or wait till all the series are out.

• Why would you want to season 2 without seeing how season 1 went. Wishful thinking. Big names and hype doesn’t mean jack. Ahem.... See what happened with MOA and Encounter and no body Sky castle led the rein.

  • Cjem is introducing new platform to watch they just use asadal as example,a big burden to the cast who is the face of the drama but asadal is a big production so its the best that they use it, whether it fail or not, dramas with multiple season will still happen

    • I’m glad that they’re motivated to do 2 seasons but wouldn’t you want to wait and see how season 1 fared first? Quite fool hardy on the production company though and Kingdom has a horror zombie genre that on Netflix would appeal to more hence the popularity. Asdal is a historical period piece I’m getting bored just thinking about it.

• If it will guarantee me to looking for Song Joong Ki in a small screen every year. I will accept it in A heart beat.

• Seeing how this is sjk's return to the small screen and considering how big the production is i doubt its gonna flop but then again i do think its a bad idea to announce multiple seasons before tracking its success

  • Three Musketeers dejavu

  • This chronicle of asdal will be flop like three musketeers, trust me. Even big name actor like hyun and park shin hye can't save memories of alhambra. Why tvn think this drama will be hit? They should wait when 1st episode airing before make multiple season.

    • I don't think you should compare Hyun-Bin and Park Shin-Hye to an actor like Song Joong-Ki. They may be attention tracker for knetizens but as far as I know when coming to acting Park and Hyun are not the best. Song is love through out Asia because of his talent and Charismatic acting. He'll save this drama no matter what. TvN already know if they get him in this production, it's a guaranteed a hit. If it's Jang Dong Gun alone he will for sure attract the knetizens but I'm not sure about international fans. TvN know what they are doing.

    • I bet you if MOA is offered to Song Joong ki instead the rating will be promising. With his talent and look is a total hit. The multiple seasons won't be a problem if the actor is great and the story is will writing. Example The Kingdom is still in great demand from viewers.

    • @Koreandrama - I can bet with you. You are just empty talking here. MOA was not even offered to SJK ? There is no need to compare. SJK was not a consideration at all because he was deemed not suitable. LOL. He lost right at the get-go ??

• Is it just me or are Kdrama budgets getting bigger and bigger every year. The cost for this even if the drama becomes a success will be astronomical.

• i am not into historical drama i might lose interest in kdrama even it is have multiple seasons sound boring big budget does't matter all you need to hit the drama is best acting,story,chemistry wish you good luck?
