“Arthdal Chronicles 2” has unveiled new stills ahead of tonight’s episode!

“Arthdal Chronicles” is an epic fantasy drama about the mythical ancient land of Arth. Four years after the end of the first season, the series returned with its second season “Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun.”

“Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun” is set approximately a decade after Season 1, with Lee Joon Gi and Shin Se Kyung joining the cast as older versions of the original leads. Lee Joon Gi plays the dual roles of twins Eun Seom and Sa Ya (played by Song Joong Ki in Season 1), while Shin Se Kyung takes on the role of Tan Ya (originally played by Kim Ji Won). Jang Dong Gun reprised his role as Ta Gon, the first king of Arthdal, and Kim Ok Bin plays his queen Tae Al Ha.

Previously in episode 1, Sa Ya learned that his twin brother Eun Seom is the hero of the Ago tribe Inaishingi, while Sa Ya became the commander-in-chief of Arthdal, leading them to face off against each other as the heads of opposing forces.

After learning this news, High Priestess Tan Ya performed a ceremony for commander-in-chief Sa Ya as he prepared to head off to battle, and she pleaded with him to spare Eun Seom.

The newly released stills preview a battle field filled with determination and resolution. Sa Ya, who is watching the battle unfold, is also filled with determination, and the army that advances forward through the fog instills fear with their overwhelming power.

However, Eun Seom appears to be expecting their arrival as he looks at the Arthdal army with a fierce gaze. Although the equipment and weapons of his forces appear shabby and ragged in comparison to the Arthdal army, they won’t lose in terms of fighting spirit.

With Eun Seom not knowing that his twin brother is the head of the enemy army and Inaishingi Eun Seom being the long-lost younger twin that Sa Ya had been searching for, viewers are curious to find out who will come out victorious in this upcoming battle.

The next episode of “Arthdal Chronicles 2” airs on September 10 at 9:20 p.m. 

“Arthdal Chronicles 2” Previews Complicated Relationships Between Jang Dong Gun, Lee Joon Gi, Shin Se Kyung, And Kim Ok Bin

“Arthdal Chronicles 2” has unveiled insight into the current relationship of its four main characters!

“Arthdal Chronicles” is an epic fantasy drama about the mythical ancient land of Arth. Four years after the end of the first season, the series will be returning for its second season—entitled “Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun”—this September.

“Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun” is set approximately a decade after Season 1, with Lee Joon Gi and Shin Se Kyung joining the cast as older versions of the original leads. Lee Joon Gi will be taking over the dual roles of twins Eun Seom and Sa Ya (which were played by Song Joong Ki in Season 1), while Shin Se Kyung will be taking over the role of Tan Ya (originally played by Kim Ji Won). Jang Dong Gun will be reprising his role as Ta Gon, the first king of Arthdal, and Kim Ok Bin will play his queen Tae Al Ha.

Ahead of the drama’s upcoming premiere, “Arthdal Chronicles 2″ has revealed the changing dynamics between Ta Gon, Tae Al Ha, Eun Seom, and Tan Ya. Now eight years later, their societal positions have undergone significant shifts, leading to complexities arising from their different goals.

Especially intriguing is the complex relationship between Ta Gon and Tae Al Ha, now the reigning king and queen of Arthdal. Their bond takes an unpredictable turn as they hold unimaginable authority yet are ready to shed blood for even greater power.

Most importantly, the presence of their child Arok has shifted their priorities away from personal gains. While they’re still on each other’s sides, Ta Gon and Tae Al Ha do not completely trust each other, making their precarious relationship a highlight for viewers.

Adding to the anticipation is the long-awaited reunion between Eun Seom and Tan Ya, childhood friends from the Wahan clan. While Eun Seom still struggles to free the enslaved Wahan clan in Arthdal, Tan Ya remains unaware that Eun Seom now leads the Ago Union and continues to search relentlessly for him, holding onto the hope of his survival.

While they haven’t openly expressed their feelings for each other, as their longing grows, so does the romantic affection they have for each other. However, Eun Seom’s quest for victory in the great war and Tan Ya’s mission to avert a world of bloodshed will collide in a compelling clash between love and duty, making viewers curious about the two’s upcoming fate.

Although they have yet to express their feelings for each other, their longing deepens, fostering a stronger romantic affection between them. However, Eun Seom’s quest for victory in the great war and Tan Ya’s mission to avert a world of bloodshed will collide in a compelling clash between love and duty, heightening viewers’ anticipation for their upcoming destinies.

Writer Park Sang Yeon aptly describes Ta Gon and Tae Al Ha’s dynamic as a “game of doubt and trust,” hinting at the upcoming tension between the royal couple. Similarly, writer Kim Young Hyun emphasizes that “Arthdal Chronicles 2” will revolve around “choices and conflicts between love and duty” for Eun Seom and Tan Ya.

“Arthdal Chronicles 2” has unveiled a new character poster for Kim Ok Bin!

“Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun” is set approximately a decade after Season 1, with Lee Joon Gi and Shin Se Kyung joining the cast as older versions of the original leads.

Jang Dong Gun will be reprising his role as Ta Gon, the first king of Arthdal, and Kim Ok Bin will play his queen Tae Al Ha.

The newly released poster depicts queen Tae Al Ha, who hides a strong desire to reach greater heights beneath her beautiful and elegant appearance. The poster’s caption reads, “Great knowledge and skills, they are all mine,” suggesting that she has bigger dreams than just being the queen of Arthdal.

Unlike eight years ago, Tae Al Ha now has a son, Arok, whom she bore to Ta Gon. It remains to be seen how the skillful politician Tae Al Ha will take advantage of the existence of her son, Arok, who is both someone she must protect and someone who will protect her.
