I need a Tagon databank with every single gif and every single still of every single scene he is in so I could cure my unhealthy obsession with this man…

Jang Dong-gun, you sexy beast, what have you done to me?

Arthdal Chronicles

The first season of this fantasy story hits close to home. It depicts the cruelty and greed of villages that have the resources, food and technology to take advantage of others. The story doesn't waist time, the first episode starts with the Arthdal leaders asking the Neanthals to become part of their power. The Arthdal are afraid of the peaceful but strong Neanthals and pretend to negotiate, knowing they are not interested. And what do they do? The Arthdal leaders trick their own people and kill the Neanthals in order to take their lands. Asa Hon learns this when she is in the middle of the attack, and in order to safe Neanthal children, she leaves with a child and Ragaz, with whom she later has children with.

Arthdal continues to annihilate weaker villages, taking them as slaves for hard labor. It is Tagon, an Itgu in hiding, that makes all this possible for Arthdal. And even though he is loved by the village as a hero, his father and other leaders are trying to find ways of killing him, including making Mihol's daughter, Teaelha, into a spy. Even though Tagon is cruel, there is an innocence to his longing to be loved and accepted by the people. His relationship with Teaelha is of a love stronger than their ties to their families and interests. And even though we don't like what he does, some times we do wish him success in his endeavors and fight against the Arthdal leaders for power.

But it is the story of the Wahan Tribe that reminds us that Tagon and all Arthdal are cruel and greedy people that have no respect for others. This is a peaceful tribe in a far away land. They are more like Neanthals in their believes but they are also prejudice against Itgus like Eunseom, whose mother leaves him there before she dies. Eunseom's only true friend is Tanya, the daughter of the priestess and scientist of the village.

It is almost impossible to reach the place but Tagon and the Arthdal leaders find the way to reach the land, it takes them 10 years to reach it and less time to destroy it and take its people as prisoners and slaves. Here we see the struggle of these people who get separated, sold into slavery and fight with each other and their enslavers in order to survive. But it also shows the Wahan people mesmerized by the innovations and way of life in this civilized village.

Tanya ties Eunseom to her by naming him her dream and he will do anything to save her, but destiny takes them into two different paths. These two characters are also very naive, their innocence and sense of justice is what makes others follow them. They both want to forge a world where everyone is equal, no prejudice against people that are different, everyone on equal standing.

Tanya's relationship with Saya is a sad one at best. She is using Saya while Saya genuinely likes her. And even though, at some point she sees him as a friend and cares about him, she still uses his affection towards her. But she is not the only one using Saya, so is Tagon who separated him from his mother when he was a child and Teaelha who became his caregiver for Tagon. Still, Saya is not stupid and he knows how to play the game.

This first half ends with the downfall of the rule of the Arthdal leaders: Daekan, White Mountain, and Hae tribes; giving way to Tagon's rule under the name of Aramun; which damages the relationship he had with Teaelha. Tanya is now the high priest while Eunseom becomes a god for the Ago tribe and starts unifying weak tribes to end fights among them and focus on fighting against their common oppressor.

The second season starts 8 years after the final events of the first one. And the fighting is no longer centered on colonialism, but on taking down a threatening force that is not letting them continue with their expansion of territories. I have heard of people wondering why the change of actors for critical characters. I wouldn't have minded seeing the same actors since they are excellent ones and we got used to them. But I didn't mind the changes, I think that these new actors, brought some darkness to the characters that had been innocent and naive in the first season. They have learned to play the game and they are using what they have learned for their gain.

Tagon and Teaelha are no longer the close couple they had been, but they still love each other and have a son that unites them. Theirs is a tragic and powerful love story, tainted by the struggle for power.

In this half, we see Tagon's fall, and the rise of the ideology that drove Tanya and Eunseom into battle. But we are left with an open ending that promises more blood and restlessness. Saya wants Arthdal for his own since he can't have Tanya's love; and Teaelha wants to take Arthdal back as she promised Tagon; while Eunseom struggles to make Arthdal the land he and Tanya had envisioned.

It is the bloody story of a civilization in this fantasy world that reflects the truth about the history of our world so full of tyranny, blood and inequality.

It is not a story with clear lines and we will switch sides as their goals become twisted, but so is the story of rulers in the past and the present. This is a fantasy story, but it also criticizes what makes a country a country - it's bloody history of greedy men.

Have you heard about the new movie that Dohwan is going to act? (Tropical Night)Jang Dong-gun and Hye-ri are also in the cast with him.I'm very nervous about it but as far as I know it's noir and I really love some of the noir stories. since Dohwan never disappoints, I'm looking forward to it. (I've seen Jang Dong-gun in Arthedal chronicle and I really like his acting)

Comments:

ok I decide to reply your comments here till my problem with Tumblr solved. and also it makes me feel happy to talk with you too.

@gigity14 yes me too. I watched 2 series from Lee Yoo-mi and I like her acting(I mean Mr.plankton) but I don't know Lee hye-ri and hope she has good chemistry with Dohwan.

@gigity14 yeah exactly, bc of that I'm very glad he won award for Joseon attorney. He really deserved it. thank you ❤️me too🥲

I ship Tagon and Taealha so much. They fight for control and power within the marriage but also when their kid gets kidnapped, he goes psycho slaughtering anyone in the way but she also loses it because she worries that as he went alone (per kidnapper order) he might get killed and rides after him! And then sees he's bleeding (and his purple blood is a giveaway he's Igutu so populace won't just overthrow him, they'd probably murder him on the spot) and she refuses to have him continue with the rescue tho she loves her child and the child is a path to power to boot. AAAA

I love her!!!

And she is all, I will go fight a whole armed mob for our son, you stay and don't come out aaaaaa!

She kills a metric ton of people but eventually she's surrounded and about to be killed and Tagon, a man who is obsessed about ruling, a bona fide bad guy, someone who was actually plotting to strip her influence away, who actually is of an age where he can easily take another wife and make more kids, comes out his kingship and life ending secret be damned, because he will not let her or their son die.

Cat's out the bag...

They may be monsters but monsters with family values :)

They (and Eunsom who arrives soon) slaughter everyone but then the army arrives and the secret it out...

Tanya to the rescue! I loved that she did what Eunsom said she would not be able to - about Igutu.

Me, watching Arthdal Chronicles (Season 1): Why is Tagon so damn pretty? 😍

Arthdal Chronicles’ın ikinci sezonu, ilk sezonun bıraktığı yerden alarak Arthdal dünyasını daha da derinlemesine incelemeye devam ediyor. Bu sezonda, Arthdal’daki güç dengeleri daha karmaşık hale gelirken, karakterler arasındaki çatışmalar ve ittifaklar da yeni boyutlar kazanıyor. Dizi, bir yandan epik savaş sahneleri ve heyecan dolu anlarla izleyiciyi ekrana kilitlerken, bir yandan da duygusal derinliğiyle etkileyici bir hikayeye dalıyor.

Eun-Seom (Lee Joon-Gi), ikinci sezonda bir lider olarak ortaya çıkıyor. Arthdal’a karşı başlayan isyan hareketinin başına geçen Eun-Seom, kabilesini koruma konusundaki kararlılığıyla izleyiciyi büyülüyor. Lee Joon-Gi, Eun-Seom’un liderlik yolculuğundaki içsel çatışmaları ve zorlu kararları etkileyici bir performansla canlandırıyor. Oyuncu değişikliği, Song Joong-Ki’nin yoğun programı nedeniyle gerçekleşmiş. İtiraf edeyim hiç istemedim. Joong-Ki benim için ayrı bir yerdeydi. Gel gör ki, Lee Joon-Gi’nin bu rolü başarıyla devraldığını itiraf etmeliyim.   Tanya (Shin Se-Kyung) ise bu sezonda politik arenada daha aktif bir rol üstleniyor. Tanya, Arthdal’ın geleceğine dair önemli kararlar alırken, kabilesi ve Arthdal arasında bir köprü olmaya çalışıyor. Shin Se-Kyung, Tanya’nın hem güçlü hem de duygusal yanlarını başarıyla sergiliyor. Onun oyuncusunun neden değiştiğini bilmiyorum ve buna da karşıydım. Se-Kyung’u çok beğendiğimi söyleyemeyeceğim. Ama yine gel gör ki, olgun Tanya rolüne Se-Kyung çok daha oturmuştu.

Ta-Gon (Jang Dong-Gun) ise ikinci sezonda gücünü korumak için daha karanlık ve acımasız bir yol izliyor. Jang Dong-Gun, Ta-Gon’un karmaşık karakterini ve liderlik hırsını derinlemesine bir oyunculukla izleyiciye aktarmış. Ayrıca oyuncusu değişmeyen bir karakter olmuş. Tae Al-Ha (Kim Ok-Vin) da bu sezonda entrikalarını daha ileriye taşıyarak kendi hedeflerini gerçekleştirmeye çalışıyor. Kim Ok-Vin, karakterin zekasını ve stratejik becerilerini izleyiciye çok iyi hissettiriyor.

Bu sezon, Arthdal dünyasına yeni karakterler ve hikayeler de ekliyor. Yeni kabileler ve onların Arthdal ile olan ilişkileri, dizinin çok boyutlu yapısını daha da zenginleştiriyor. Özellikle Eun-Seom’un liderlik yolculuğu ve Tanya’nın politik arenadaki rolü, izleyicilere unutulmaz anlar yaşatıyor. Bu şekilde dizi, sadece bir hayatta kalma hikayesi olmaktan çıkıp daha geniş kapsamda toplumsal ve bireysel dönüşümleri ele alan bir yapıya bürünüyor.

İkinci sezonun prodüksiyon değerleri de bir o kadar etkileyici. Set tasarımları, kıyafetler ve görsel efektler, izleyiciyi Arthdal’ın büyülü dünyasına tam anlamıyla taşıyor. Savaş sahnelerindeki koreografi ve duygusal anlarda kullanılan müzikler, hikayenin atmosferini destekleyen önemli unsurlar arasında. Lee Joon-Gi, bir röportajında bu rolün fiziksel açıdan oldukça zorlayıcı olduğunu ve karakterin derinliğini keşfetmenin kendisi için heyecan verici bir süreç olduğunu belirtmiş. Shin Se-Kyung ise Tanya karakterinin gelişim sürecini canlandırırken hissettiği baskıyı ve bu karakterin çok yönlülüğünü anlatmanın zorluklarını dile getirmiş.

Arthdal Chronicles ikinci sezonuyla hem hikaye hem de görsel açıdan etkileyici bir çıkış yakalıyor. Karakterlerin gelişimi, dünya kurulumunun detayları ve hikayenin özgünlüğü, bu sezonu özel kılan unsurlar arasında. Arthdal’daki güç mücadelelerinin ve toplumsal dönüşümlerin nasıl sonlanacağı ise üçüncü sezona dair büyük bir merak uyandırıyor. Eğer Arthdal Chronicles’ın büyülü dünyasına adım atmadıysanız, çok şey kaçırıyorsunuz demektir. İki sezonuyla bu dizi, epik hikayeleri sevenler için kesinlikle kaçırılmaması gereken bir yapım.
