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.

I still haven't decided if they're gonna give us a Syaon x Chi Hoon subplot, but even though he is a squealing fan, he respects her privacy, protected her identity when it was at danger of being exposed and overall is just so ethical even in his admiration for her and all of that is really nice to see. The detail of him not putting his hand on her shoulder but just hovering above it when he helped her with those fans was pretty much appreciated. I can see why he was one of the two people Sol Hee chose to keep near.

MY LOVELY LIAR

GENRES: Mystery, Romance

SUMMARY: An accused murder suspect and a woman who can hear lies find each other, love, and justice for everyone around them.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Soccer fans, tarot cards, fanboy bodyguards, divorce, obsession, underworld gangs, political bribery, blackmail, turtles, glamping, fireworks, old flames, bread, heart-shaped shrimp, and small business support.

HOT TAKE: I really never looked forward to new episodes of this show dropping but I certainly enjoyed every minute I watched. The mystery is consistent, the romance is just adorable, and the side characters are just the right amount of quirky and real. A Casual Warning: For better or for worse, Hwang Min Hyun does about 70-80% of his acting in this show through his eyes.

PD Tip for Next Time: PLEASE get Yun Ji On some clothes that actually fit him. I know he's a skinny fellow, and he's supposed to be a hip entertainment exec, but he is just swimming in those suits and it makes him look like he just walked out of the movie 'Big.'

Sisyphus the Myth. 7

Story: 7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Alice (kdrama) ; Alive (kmovie) ; Grid (kdrama); Train (kdrama)

The drama that that could’ve been. I know a lot of kdrama fans had so many problems with this one and yes there are many glaring problems with it, plot holes galore, inconsistencies all around, and a wtf type ending, but…..yes but despite all that if you’re a die hard sci-fi dystopian/time travel romance genre fan then you probably might still like this. I threw out all logic, all plot holes, and switched off my brain and enjoyed the cinematography, chemistry, and the acting which were done really well. It’s by far from perfect but still very watchable and enjoyable (*minus the ending* seriously were they hoping for a sequel)

Lee Shi Woo (also spelled Lee Si Woo)

It was surprisingly hard for me to find a good picture of this man (he hasn't been in a lot yet, at least two other actors share his name, and I've blocked the Pale Moon tag so I can't really search tumblr) but here he is, for your viewing pleasure!

(I never did find a good picture, he's much hotter than this in the drama.)
