I believe that major OTT platforms such as Netflix, Prime, or Viki should consider acquiring the rights to this drama. After watching the first two episodes, it appears to have the potential to be a hidden gem of 2023, provided it maintains its current level of quality. Many dramas often fall into predictable patterns, such as slow-motion interactions between main characters without context or the typical trajectory of love-hate-breakup-sacrifice-patch-up in love stories. Similarly, comedy genres can force humor out of context, especially when the main lead is involved, making it difficult for viewers to enjoy. This show, however, seems to break away from these conventional patterns.
It's refreshing to see a drama that takes an experimental approach and prioritizes content that resonates with the audience over relying solely on star power. When I first started watching K-dramas, it was the unique and compelling content that drew me in, not just the popularity of the actors. We need more bold experiments and fresh ideas that focus on connecting with the audience rather than simply replicating a successful format.
Lastly, I find myself questioning the trend of reincarnation plots in many dramas. While I understand that some dramas are centered around this theme, it feels like an overused concept. Connecting the historical Joseon era with modern-day Seoul has become a common trope, and it would be great to see more diversity in storytelling without relying on this particular plot device.
I often find myself dropping many of Viki's shows halfway, even though they start with immense potential. I hope this drama will help me regain a little trust in Viki.
I'm also upset about the cast change but it's not a bad replacement at all , Since the main leads didn't wanted…
Did I ever diss Jong Ki? Surprise, surprise, I'm actually a big fan, thanks to his killer performance in 'Moon Lovers'! ๐ Seems like my original vibe might've been lost in translation earlier. Let's be real, though โ none of us are acting experts here, and comparing these talents is like choosing between Netflix and chill or TikTok and thrills. Totally impossible! ๐คทโโ๏ธ That's why K-dramas are like, giving Hollywood a run for its money and becoming the Gen Z holy grail of entertainment. ๐๐
But hold up, here's the tea: first season, they nailed the characters, and then bam, second season hits and they're like, "Let's switch things up." ๐ฑ It's like entering this hyper-realistic video game where everything feels legit, but your vibes are screaming, "Uncanny alert!" ๐ฎ Your brain's on this constant battle with your subconscious, trying to deal with the face swaps. Honestly, they should've gone full 'Alchemy of Souls' mode or dished out some god-like powers instead of aging, you feel me? โจ๐งโโ๏ธ
BTW, 'Arthdal Chronicles' is my jam, and everything's been lit so far. Here's to more K-drama magic! ๐ฟโจ
The makers of Arthdal Chronicles made a grave mistake by swapping out Song Joong-ki and Kim Ji-won for Lee Joon Gi and Shin Sae Kyeong. Not that the new leads are bad actors, but they just donโt fit the roles. It feels like the first season was a waste of time. You can skip it and just watch the recap at the start of the second season and youโll be fine. But thatโs a huge letdown for the loyal fans of the show.
