Alright, let’s talk about this Arthdal Chronicles thing. I watched it, the whole shebang, and lemme tell ya, it’s a whole lotta somethin’. Don’t go expectin’ no easy-peasy story, though. This thing’s got twists and turns like a country road, ya hear?
So, it all starts with this fella, Eunseom. Poor thing nearly drowned, but these Momo Tribe folks, they fished him out. Good thing too, ’cause he’s a big part of this whole mess. He’s one of them Igutu fellas, kinda special, ya know? And he’s got this friend, always talkin’ a mile a minute, real chatterbox that one.
Then there’s this place, Arthdal. Big city, lots of important folks, and a king, Tagon. This Tagon fella, he’s somethin’ else. Crowned king and all, but things ain’t peaceful, no sir. They been waitin’ for a war, and it’s comin’, sure as the sun rises in the mornin’.
- Eunseom gets saved
- He’s an Igutu
- Tagon is king of Arthdal
- Big war is brewin’
Now, there’s battles and all sorts of fightin’. One time, Eunseom and this other fella, Saya, they swap places. Imagine that! One minute you’re here, the next you’re somewhere else. That’s how Eunseom ends up in Arthdal. Lots of drama, I tell ya.
At first, you think you got it all figured out. Eunseom’s special, maybe he’s the chosen one or somethin’. But this story, it ain’t so simple. Keeps you guessin’, that’s for sure. Keeps ya on the edge of your seat, like waitin’ for the biscuits to come outta the oven.
And this Tanya gal, she’s important too. She’s with these Wahan folks, peaceful like, but they get caught up in all this Arthdal mess. She asks this Taealha woman if they can go home, but no dice. Stuck in Arthdal, they are. And let me tell you, that Taealha woman, she’s got her own plans, always schemin’ and plottin’.
So, eight years go by after Tagon becomes king. Eight long years! And that war they been talkin’ about? It’s gettin’ real close now. Tagon and Eunseom, they’re both gettin’ ready. It’s gonna be a big one, I reckon. Gonna be a whole lotta folks gettin’ hurt.
Some folks didn’t like this show, said it wasn’t so good. But I watched it, and I thought it was alright. Plenty of action, plenty of politics, you know, the kind of stuff that makes you think. And that last episode, whew! Explosions and fightin’ and all sorts of craziness.
Then things get even crazier in Season 2. Saya, he gets captured by these Neanthal folks, kinda like cavemen but smarter. He lets Tanya go, but he says he’ll be back. Wants to take Arthdal for himself, that one. And Eunseom and Tanya, they finally get back together. They want to build somethin’ new, somethin’ better. A dynasty, they call it.
And that Taealha woman, she’s still around. Got herself a grown-up kid, Arok, and she’s plannin’ her own dynasty and gettin’ ready for another war. Seems like there’s always a war brewin’ in this Arthdal place.
Now, they spent a whole lotta money on this show, but not so many folks watched it in Korea, not as many as they thought. First episode did alright, but then it kinda went down. And the actors, Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won, they didn’t come back for the second season. Said they were too busy, had other things to do. Shame, that. They were good actors, them two.
And for some reason, Season 2 ain’t on Netflix. Don’t know why, nobody’s sayin’. Maybe they’ll put it on later, maybe not. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. But if you like shows with lots of twists and turns and battles and politics, then you might like this Arthdal Chronicles thing. Just don’t expect it to be easy, ya hear?

So there ya have it, that’s the gist of it. It ain’t a simple story, like I said. But it’s a story worth watchin’, if you ask me. Just gotta pay attention, or you’ll get lost. And Lord knows, it wouldn’t take much to get an old woman like me lost in all that mess.
