The Story
Taking place in the fictional land of Arth during the bronze age, two young people carry a fate that will influence the lives of the whole land. The Wahan tribe lives a peaceful and sheltered life on the plains of Lark. Tan Ya is the young woman who is their future leader. Her best friend, Eun Seom, is a young boy who became a part of their clan after losing his mother. The two were born on the same day and share an important destiny. When soldiers from Arth find a way down the cliffside to the plateau below, they invade the Wahan village and capture the people as slaves. Now, in a land governed by greedy and outlandish luxury, the people of Wahan fight to survive, without losing sight of who they are and where they come from. But they will be swept up in a whirlwind of political turmoil that threatens their lives and the future of their tribe.
Should I Watch
“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.
