First Official Stills for Arthdal Chronicles Season 2 with New Leads Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung and Returning Villains Jang Dong Gun and Kim Ok Bin

It’s raining K-drama goodies to start off the week so here is the first official stills for Arthdal Chronicles 2, the sequel to the 2020 summer blockbuster primed drama that wasn’t. It will air next year in 2023 and in the drama narrative there will be a time jump as teenaged character leads played by Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won will turn into adult versions of Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung. Me likes! Returning looking older and more desperate is Jang Dong Gun who clearly is a Goliath meeting his David, with Kim Ok Bin also back as the sorceress wanting to be queen. Power and destiny once again collides with season 2 hopefully lighting the drama better so audiences can actually see shit and also please start giving answers rather than build a bajillion narrative threads.
