Arthdal Chronicles is an exceptional fantasy masterpiece that stands out for its pure fantasy elements. The show is so unique and full of details which even some of novel based drama do not possess.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room - the absence of some of the original cast members. I understand the disappointment that may arise from this, as I myself didn't have high expectations for a show that had to navigate such a challenging situation. However, this time is different. How can I truly be saddened when one of Korea's gems is returning to portray a character in a historical drama? Lee Joon Gi, not only being a talented and sensitive actor, is the perfect choice to embody the war machine we anticipate seeing on screen. War is coming and Lee Joon Gi's coming back! When it comes to Shin Se Kyung's portrayal of Tan Ya in Arthdal Chronicles, there is no need to worry. Her previous collaboration with the writers in "Six Flying Dragons" should alleviate any concerns about her portrayal of Tan Ya in Arthdal Chronicles. However, it is worth noting that Tan Ya may have been perceived as the least interesting character among the main five at least in my perception. The hope is that her character will become more productive and have a greater impact on the story, moving away from repetitive interactions such as constantly calling EunSeom as her savior or trying to save a trib that actually is not interested to be saved.

One of the most thrilling aspects I have observed in the upcoming Arthdal Chronicles is the custom design. While I am not a fashion expert, the show's outfit choices have left me somewhat puzzled. It was challenging to discern whether it was set during winter or summer, if the weather was cold or warm, or if the setting was reminiscent of Greece or medieval England. Additionally, I yearned for the inclusion of the distinctive Asian style that I love seeing in Korean dramas. Fortunately, the production spared no expense in enlisting the talented Cho Sang Kyung, known for their iconic costume design in shows like 'Squid Game' and 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay'. With their expertise, it is already clear from the photos that the costume design in future episodes of Arthdal Chronicles will become more cohesive and representative of a specific time and place. Their involvement brings anticipation for a more visually striking and culturally resonant aesthetic in the show.

Indeed, when it comes to our opinions and preferences, we often love to hate and hate to love. Despite any criticisms or frustrations, there is still an underlying love and passion for the series that keeps us engaged.
