'Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramoon' Unveils Posters for Shin Se-kyung & Lee Jun-ki
Your first look at Shin Se-kyung and Lee Jun-ki taking on the roles previously portrayed by Kim Ji-won and Song Joong-ki in Season one
A-list South Korean actors Shin Se-kyung and Lee Jun-ki are making a grand comeback with renewed energy in the highly anticipated tvN show, Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramoon. In the exciting second season of this blockbuster TV-series sees Shin Se-kyung taking on the role of Tanya, a respected high priestess in the land of Arthdal. Tanya's journey from being a lesser-known prophetic figure in the first season to attaining a position of honour and respect among her people as a spiritual leader is at the heart of the story. Meanwhile, Lee Jun-ki plays the character of Eun-som, the determined leader of the Ago tribe, roles previously portrayed by Kim Ji-won and Song Joong-ki respectively. Recently, tvN released official posters for the lead characters, giving a first look at the upcoming new season.
Arthdal Chronicles is often dubbed as the Korean version of Game of Thrones, and has become a standout K-drama for a global audience due to its intricate storytelling and outstanding performances by the cast. The first season introduced us to the fictional world of Arthdal, a kingdom set in a time resembling the Bronze Age. Eun-som, burdened with a prophecy that predicts trouble for Arthdal, faces numerous challenges alongside his mother. Their fate eventually becomes intertwined with the Wahan tribe, thanks to a sacrificial act by Eun-som's mother. However, as the Arthdal kingdom expands, the Wahan people are enslaved, setting Eun-som on a fateful path.
The second season holds the promise of an intense showdown between Ta Gon and Eun-som, symbolizing a struggle for power versus freedom. Notably, Tanya, now seen as the revered mother of Asa Sin after fulfilling her prophecy, still harbors feelings for Eun Som. This hints at a potential romantic angle, possibly involving Saya, Eun-som's mysterious twin brother. Set eight years after Ta Gon's rise to the throne as the King of Arthdal, the upcoming season is poised for some exciting twists and epic battles.
Make sure to mark your calendars for the premiere of the second season, titled Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramoon, on September 9, available exclusively on Disney+ with episodes releasing weekly.
