• Finally!
  I can't wait

  • It was already in netflix 6-8 months ago, but it was removed somehow.

• yesssssssssssss!!!

  but song joongki has to return, right? i mean he is the main character lol it wouldn't be arthdal chronicles without him.

  • Teljesen egyetértek! ??

  • I really hope he returns! I agree, it wouldn't be Arthdal Chronicles without him?

  • Exactly...If the main actor is not there then it's useless

    • I'm surprised seeing so many bad reviews about the drama. It's easily one of my best kdramas. I love the storyline and all the characters, especially tagon and taehla. Y'all don't appreciate good dramas. Smh!!! I can't wait for the season 2 and I believe it's gonna be an absolute success.

• Some people really disliked it. But actually I enjoyed it a lot even more than Vincenzo.Can't wait,original cast need to return.

• As a SJK's fan, I'm torn about this. On the one hand, I like AC and really want the story to be complete (I miss my baby Eumsom too). On the other hand, as the first season was not well received and it will be even harder for season 2 to succeed, I'm not sure if I want SJK to return because if it doesn't do well in the rating, it's him again who will bear all the negativity from the media.

• Hell yes! And enough with the tired game of thrones comparison smh. Other than good world building, its a completely different take on the genre.

  • hear hear! GOT didn't invent stories about power grabs in fantasy lands so comparing any drama set in such a realm, that has competition for the throne, to GOT is lazy. I get that GOT is the most famous and popular but AC distinguishes itself with different world building and lore. It's its own beast. I was really pleasently surprised with what they came up with. I only hope they will cut on sageuky scheming in 3 rooms and give us more of stunning locations and open space goings on. And yes, better lighting in nighttime scenes. :)

  • Nem filmművészeti-re jártam. Egyszerű hétköznapi ember vagyok. Nem is értem a negatív kritikákat.
    Nekem nagyon tetsző sorozat volt. Jó storyval, jó karakterekkel, szuper színészekkel. A képi környezet is meseszép volt.
    (Miért kellene a Trónok Harcához hasonlítani? Az is más, meg ez is. Mindkettőt másért szerettem. Most már minden kosztümös filmet ahhoz akarnak hasonlítani?)
    És nagyon várom a folytatást! Remélem mihamarabb láthatom! És ezekkel a szereplőkkel!!!

• This drama is more like ensemble cast with so many star get casted. The focus doesn't even eunseom or Saya, but the world building. So I can see Saya or Eun Seum can be our of the picture. I'm not a big fan of Arthdal, But I will accept if SJK is in it, It means I might watch him again in the next 1-2 years. YESSS... I would rather he star in this than something like DOTS or vincenzo

  • I was bored out of my mind by DOTS and had to drop it. Vincenzo was a massive bait and switch. I thought it would be set in Italy but nope. Also, his character was total Gary Stu and supporting cast carried that one IMO. Vincenzo himself was boring (always winning, indestructible, zzzz) and FL annoying beyond any reason. I watched for Kwak Dong Yeon (the MVP), entertaining villains and the Vincenzo gang. That said, SJK is excellent as Saya ( a better role) and Eun Seum ( a weaker role, another Stu but more likable that loses from time to time ) so I want to see where these characters are going.

    • @lord_varvara. pick up project like DOTS or vincenzo once in a while is fine. but maake it become career trajectory is a shame and won't do any good for showing his potential as an an actor. I don't want him become like Gong Hyo Jin choosing drama, extremely talent but stuck in a typical roles when she can do so much better.

    • @missjb I wished there was Reply button but apparently only the main post has it so I have to reply to myself to reply to you lol. Yes, I too have noticed that drama stars allow themselves to get typecast (eg LMH is always some variation of chaebol prince, SJK is invincible badass, CEW is a highschool heartthrob with daddy/mommy issues, Rowoon is a plank of wood...oh wait, that isn't a type of role but he turns each and every into that type, etc). Which is why I find their careers boring. It's secondary leads that get more variety, as well as supporting actors.

• I read that for S2 the allotted budget is around 10b won, which I find too low considering the CGs needed and cast, unless it will be in a shorter format lol it’d be weird if SJK doesn’t return tbh

  • THe setting is already created. So I can see why the cost would be alot lower. I think Some star won't even come back.

    • Yeah I get that but it’s literally a fantasy kdrama, CGIs are expensive unless they’re gonna be cheapskates on that lol anyway I guess this season is more for closure of the story

    • Q : It can be release as original netflix and only 6 episode get released for closure. It makes more sense given the budget, LOL

• Looks like Studio Dragon wants to milk the cow dry to recoup money. The Korean audience didnt like AC but international audience had a more mixed reaction.

  I'll bet money SD puts this on Netflix, where there is a chance of capturing the Western audience who is into Witcher, Wheel of Time, etc.

  • Korean Audiences actually was angry at it when the news release they will create the webtoon without mentioning the drama, thinking the webtoon will be make the AC fans satisfied, LOL. Alot of netizen in naver want the actual drama . It might be the reason.

    • Color me surprised that netizens taking time to comment on AC would want an AC drama. That's called a biased sample size.

    • AC was a hit for Netflix so it isn't just few netizens that somehow convinced Studio Dragon to invest billions of won in a drama with limited audience. There's international potential unlike lets say Bulgasal which is neither a hit in Korea nor internationally. I follow Netflix viewership charts so that's how I know.

      I said it in another post but best case would be Netflix release a la other hit Netflix K dramas. That way, no fretting about Korean ratings which very likely wouldn't be impressive. Netflix saved KTEM's face (huge international hit) and AC is billion times better than that unwatchable crap.

• Not a fan of AC. Won't mind if SJK skip it.
  Would like to see him in something else.

  • Eu quero a segunda temporada,por favor.

• What a bad idea... Why the actors would like to be in this after the first disaster. They could come back in better productions with Vincenzo, Lovestruck in the City and then My Liberation Diary, that looks good for Kim Ji-Won.
