“Arthdal Chronicles” is a beautiful fantasy drama that creates another world.   It strikes a nice balance between romantic fantasy and historical intrigue.  If you are a fan of this kind of fantasy drama, this one is a must see.  It has high quality production, an intricate plot, and an amazingly talented cast.  Expect to have lots of names and information thrown at you at the beginning of this series.  It can get pretty confusing at first, but once the story becomes the focus, it is a lot easier to follow.  As most of you know, I have a rule against watching dramas before they finish, and this one has officially announced a season 2 in the works.  But after hearing rumors that the leads for the next season may be different, I decided to go ahead and watch this one now.  After seeing season one, it definitely ended with the assumption of another season, so if you don’t like dramas that leave you hanging, you may want to learn from my mistake and wait it out.  This also made rating this series tricky.  They have set up some amazing and complex storylines, which I loved.  But without an ending, I have no way of knowing how well they will bring all those elements together.   Having said that, I really enjoyed season 1 and can’t wait for the next.  Season 2 is scheduled to premiere some time early next year.   I give “Arthdal Chronicles” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
