Now that season 2 is confirmed with new actors, I'm sure fans of the replacements will watch season 2 for them. it is absolutely necessary you watch season 1 because it is quite a complicated world and the worldbuilding is in season 1. I also hope for some appreciation for the efforts of the season 1 cast (I'm saying this seeing how most people underestimated Arthdal drama when it was airing).
Now, if you notice the drama, it is presented in many titles. If you wonder why is that, the season 1 of the drama is divided into three parts. But all three parts comprised of season 1. This particular part here is part 3.
I also recommend season 2 for season 1 fans. Please watch the drama even with the cast change.

There is somewhat of a spoiler in this review for both dramas.
The only similarity is the twin aspect. I find the twins in both Arthdal Chronicles and Duel to be similar.
In Duel Sunghoon and Sungjoon are mere clones however, the two are very different. Saya in AC reminds me of Sunghoon so much. The two are both very stylish and the more well-kept compared to their twin-counterparts. Both of them are very eerie and are super smart. Both Sunghoon and Saya are evil but as a fan you'll find it very very hard to hate the both of them. Both twins are lonely and were mistreated as children.
Now we get to Sungjoon, he reminds me of AC's Eunseom (aka Saya's twin) because they both have a sense of doing what's best instead of their twin-counterparts. These two aren't entirely similar as Eunseom at the beginning and sometimes near the end is very naive this is due to how he grew up. Sungjoon too is naive but this is due to his memory not being fully there. Other than this you still find yourself routing for this twin as well.

Everyone knows Song Joong Ki from DOTS. On the other hand, this extremely underrated drama that he did in 2019 called Arthdal Chronicles deserves way more love and attention, thus I am recommending Arthdal to SJK fans who became fans from DOTS. Arthdal Chronicles comes in multiple seasons. As of March 16, 2021, only the first season is released. This is part 3 of the first season.
They are not very similar, but both of them are Song Joong Ki's dramas. I am recommending Arthdal to SJK fans watching Vincenzo because it is a very underrated drama and I feel that SJK great performance in Arthdal needs more atttention. Aside from Song Joong Ki, Yang Kyung Won and Choi Young Joon (also in Vincenzo) also had small/supporting roles in Arthdal.
Arthdal comes in multiple seasons. As of March 16, 2021, only the first season is released. The first season is divided in parts, of which this particular show of Arthdal I am recommending is part 3.

They have the same writers. They main character is also a twin in both dramas. There is a prophecy about the twin characters in the drama that is important to the plot. They also both have complex characters, meaning likeable villains, protagonists with a dark side, and characters which we won't understand at first if they're good or evil
Although I almost didn't watch "Princess Agents" because the beginning was so shocking, it ended up being one of my very favorite Asian dramas. It has every element of an exciting, entertaining, edge-of-your-seat drama. I have watched it several times and recommend it to all my friends. The actors are amazing in this drama and I know you'll come back for more--the female lead is one of the strongest I've seen and the humor scenes are hilarious. I must admit there is a cliff hanger at the end and no sequel in sight so far, which breaks my heart, but it is still a must-watch in my book! Totally worth it. I rated it 10/10.
I know that both stories are quite different, but I am recommending Tree with Deep Roots for Arthdal fans and vice versa because they have the same writers.
>Both dramas have:
== more twist and turns and character revelations (whether it is an additional character or something about a character is revealed
== Song Joong Ki's high class acting --> though he's only in the first 4 episodes + episode 9 in Tree with Deep Roots, it is worth watching if you want to see his good acting skills. Even if you started both shows for him, you will find yourselves also immersed on other characters as well the actors that portray them (whether it is an older version of Joong Ki's character, a mysterious swordsman, a mysterious guy with a mask, or even the villains)
== I think it's noteworthy that the shows also put importance in education and literacy. Like how the wahans or the poor Joseon people were taken advantaged because they were seen as less "educated"

"Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy" is an amazing drama of historic mysticism, courage, beauty, bravery, morals and adventure. The actors are excellent and fit their characters perfectly, and the music and cinematography is beautiful throughout. There are three story lines that intertwine and hold your interest throughout the drama keeping you guessing with intrigue and suspense in every episode. Rating 9.5/10
