The Story
This continuation of the Arthdal Chronicles takes place 8 years after the last installment. The King’s position in Arthdal has started to weaken, throwing the kingdom into political and cultural upheaval. And as prophecies come to fruition, the legend of the 3 coming heroes gains momentum. While Tanya leads her followers from within the city walls, Eun Seom brings the tribes from the plains together to fight for power. And this fight will bring him face to face with his brother, Sa Ya, who is currently leading the King’s army. Now the trio will need to determine where their loyalties lie and if they can bring peace and unity to their war torn land.
Should I Watch
“Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun” is a beautiful fantasy drama that creates another world. It strikes a nice balance between romantic fantasy and historical intrigue. I do recommend that you watch the first season first, because there is a lot of mythology to catch up with. While I thought the cast did a great job and I love both Lee Joon Gi and Shin Sae Kyoeng, I did miss the original leads. With the leads and other cast changes, some of the characters felt like totally new characters. But The continuation of the story itself was seamless and engaging. I give “Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun” an 8 out of 10 ramen.
