Disappointing
Things I did enjoy from Arthdal Season 2.
- Yangcha getting more screen time. <3
- And seeing Forestella singing on the OST.
- Seeing briefly mentioned characters from season 1 come into season 2
Things I didn't care for in Arthdal Season 2.
From cinematography to outfits, makeup, and even the OST, season 2 feels like a fanmade spinoff of season 1.
- I am a massive fan of Lee Joon-Gi, but I don't feel he was the same "character" from season one. There was a lack of idealism that Eunseom kept with him, even after the brutal time as a slave called purple in season 1. Tanya was such a strong character in season one, a proactive character, and didn't mince her words. But season 2 is a more passive character that is quite stiff. I understand that Tanya and Eunseom are childhood friends, but I felt their romance lacked genuine chemistry.
Props to Taealha and Tagon, especially Taealha. While I did not care for her as a character, she was consistent, and you could understand her reasoning.
- The weird camera blur and distortion came off as cheesy and low quality to give the audience a "fantasy" feel. Perhaps because they had a lot less money and time with these sets... If you rewatch the first season after finishing season 2, you'll see how well the director would make cuts within scenes and pan the camera in flawless and natural ways to give more depth to the actors/actresses.
- The unique outfits from season 1 that made the different tribes and characters unique were gone, and everyone looked the same regarding clothing.
- Outside of "Chosen One" by Forstella, the soundtrack didn't fit the series' vibe.
- There were a lot of plot holes and too many unrealistic things happening that it became a very predictable plot. The way they killed off some of the characters felt uncalled for and necessary. Especially killing the narrator of season one so early on in season 2.
The ending was rushed beyond belief, and the build-up for bringing Karika back into the series was barely discussed. Season 2 should've been longer than 12 episodes with everything that they shoved into the last episode.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
