There are no series remotely similar so it’s tough to recommend. There are other fantasy series though like Alchemy of Souls and Moving which are excellent. But completely different.

This drama really gets going in the second half and is WOW by the last arc because of all the building of each persons relationship to the other. there are parents tied to their children, coworkers and friends tied to each other, enemies,,frenemies, North Koreans, South Koreans, the CIA. Adult Superhero’s with phenomenal powers and their children who are just discovering they have powers and how to use them.

For me it’s an absolute 10 because it’s so beautifully woven as a coming of age story plus an espionage story plus a superhero story all intertwined magically.

ummmm I never said season 1 costumes were lacking and it was low budget. I have been a loud long standing huge lover of everything season 1 including the costumes which I personally felt were excellent.

it’s sadly not on Disney + USA. you need to use a VPN and set it to Canada, the UK or Australia to watch via Disney +

me three. many of us are not fond of the costumes this season.

the writer said “it means silver toad which also means Moon”

according to the commentary of cast & writers: The writer wanted a very pretty name for Eunseom, so she named him after the “Moon”. She said she then named the other twin “Geumha” which is “the river that contains the moon”. She also said that the scene where the Neanthal reveals Saya’s real name will be the only time his real name is mentioned. for the rest of the show he will only be “Saya” (Love) because he chose his own name. Just thought it was really beautiful and creative.

it wasn’t a weak point. he had Yangcha who knew. and because he was an IGUTU he was so much stronger than others so he never bled until that first encounter with Eunseom. that was the first time. the second time was when the shahaati tried to assassinate him and he fought off all of Asa Hons people. he covered up both times. So it really wasn’t a weak spot at all because he never bled in front of anyone since he rarely bled!

FYI:

Due to a soccer (futbol) match on Sunday BOTH episodes (5 & 6) will be released on Saturday back to back. There will be no episode on Sunday.

did you not watch season 1??????? it’s all there!

his entire backstory is told in season 1.

I’ve watched all 4 episodes 4 times lol

“It’s all meaningless” - Rottip season 1 after saving Eunseom from the bear, sniffing him and realizing he was Asa Hon & Ragaz’s son and then walking away.

Theory:
. my guess is that the Neanthals also know about the Sword, Bell, Mirror prophecy which required both Igutu twins, the sword and the mirror, to be alive. Since Ragaz took Saya (Geumha) before dying and baby Saya dissapeared they believed he died. But now they have discovered he is alive, which means both twins, the sword and the mirror are alive, thus there is still hope for the prophecy, for the return of Aramun and the saving of Neanthals to possibly live freely in society. this is why Rottip was so cold when leaving Eunseom, he thought there was no hope for the prophecy. “it’s all meaningless. Only one survived” So I think now we will see more involvement with the Neanthals, who after discovering Saya is alive, has renewed their greatest hopes for the prophecy, the sword bell and mirror, of the return of Aramun, the Igutu, who wanted a safe place in the Arthdal for Neanthals to exist without being hunted.

Eunseom has had dreams that Tanya was in. it’s irrelevant if they were only about her rather than Saya. He has still be connected to her through them since they’ve been apart. Onscreen we only saw one dream with Saya and Tanya that Eunseom saw but off screen over 8 years there were likely more of them. Same with Tanya, her dreams, visions, nightmares have had 8 years off screen. Seeing snippets in his dreams of Tanya with someone who looks like him but isn’t him has been a driving force for him the time they’ve been seperated.

They’ve actually been building up for the first 18 episodes plus 3 episodes from the new season. It was made clear they were childhood /teen sweethearts. It was repeatedly said that Eunseom was “Tanya’s crush” in season 1 (her dad said it) and that she made a clear distinction of romantic feelings for Eunseom versus NO romantic feelings for Saya. And on Eunseoms side, he made clear he loved Tanya in season 1 and tried to kiss her. The consistent theme for all of season 1 was each of them desperately trying to reunite with each other. They dream about each other.

So if you think about it it’s basically two childhood sweethearts who have been pining for each other for over 8 years desperately wanting to meet again, but now they are adults, mature and ….. soulmates. So they can’t hold themselves back from expressing themselves in a way they have wanted to since they were teenagers.

I was told by my friend in Seoul that both episodes will be airing next Saturday.

in season 1 when they save Eunseom from the bear they said after meeting Eunseom while walking away “that is Asa Hons son….” “So that is Ragaz son!” 1. Rottip said “it’s all meaningless” as to why he didn’t do anything about it.
