I really wanted to like this. I did, but… a lot of the charming aspects that had me so invested from the first few parts definitely did not carry over into this one. For one, the story felt rushed and slow at the same time. The difference in the main actors was upsetting, and while I do like both of these actors, to me they just didn’t fit the original characters. Eunseom felt so much more different. I like the portrayal of Saya, but Eunseom didn’t register and Tanya’s character felt really shallow. I also didn’t like the styling (noticed it immediately) and while some areas were done really well I was annoyed that they brought characters like Karat just to kill them off super quickly. I don’t know. I felt like this could’ve been so much better. It had a really strong foundation but just didn’t seem consistent at all (save for a few parts that seemed only like they were added because the directors were like “oh yeah! don’t forget about that one thing from season one”). LOVED the other Arthdal. Sword of Aramun has me so upset I think because I was so attached to it and now I feel like I can barely get that same emotion and attachment from this one.
