Legal streaming for this Kdrama... second season only: Disney+

For this Kdrama's first season, it was only on Netflix.

I have no hopes in anything other than my man here, but would be nice if this season offers some ACTUAL conclusion to the whole thing after so long. And let LJG flaunt his acting chops along with moves here since apparently it won't do any justice to his looks...

I like Kim Ok Bin's dress in that top photo.

Frankly, I want to forget S1 too. Then I can watch this with zero bias and expectation. I hope this is better.

If it helps tvN team, I might be your target audience here: I haven't seen S1 (don't know the plot or really anything either) and will blindly go into any show headfirst if LJG is attached to it...

12 eps though - didn't know this! I've got tentative high hopes though because it's on Disney and Disney hasn't missed (yet), let's see how it goes I guess.

The Disney rodent prepares to scavenge the rotting corpse of a once-promising concept that even Netflix won't turn into a sequel?

Before it started I was even looking forward to it, but Arsedal was not just bad, it was the most offensively bad kdrama I've ever finished, even worse than sequel-less Blood or Doctor Stranger. It's time to make a stand-- the infestation of undeserved sequels of mediocre/horrid shows may seem unstoppable, but perhaps it can be at least slowed by an epic, expensive flop. So then we can get back to the good old days of kdramas actually having an ending.

I haven't said anything like this before, and I hope not to again, but now would be a good time for a boycott.

Of course, I'm hoping it fails not only because that's what they deserve after season 1 -- if it's good and Beanies start praising it I might be tempted 😬😱😱

"tvN is banking on the fact that not many people even remember Arthdal"

Oh where is a spot on of amnesia when I need one.

Knowing that the title of the 12th episode will be Arthdal Chronicles makes me thing it will be the end of the story. Because the first season suffered mostly because they hide the second part won't be the end... I still have no idea what they did it. The other titles are kinda funny, it makes me curious about the story.

It's weird how they didn't talk about the other roles. Did all the actors come back? Or they will be other changes and because we forgot about this drama, we won't realize that one character is not new but just was replaced by another actor? With a 10 years jump in time, they could kill a lot of characters off screen. For example, Ipsaeng was an important character in Eunseom's arc, but Kim Sung-Cheol is back? But it would be weird that Eunseom became old and changed but not Ipsaeng... so is he played by someone esle?

Well, I'm one of the people they banked on 'cause I don't remember the plot, but I definitely want to see Lee Jun Ki in action!

And there's no way I'm gonna rewatch the first season lol. 🤷

Aw, is this show going to be recapped? I hope so. Any willing recappers.. 🙏

I committed about 24 hours to the original AC (figuring 18 episodes times 80 minutes) and that is all I am committing.
However, the cast pic above is one of the better dressed cast pics I have seen. I will give it that.

Who gave the ok for the show poster ? 🙄
Was that poster 4 years in the making too ? 😂

Why many negative comments? I think the first season was brilliant. It doesn't comparable with Blood, wth that is such an insulting comment. 😭

I know that there are a lot of confusing names of characters and places BUT the acting was all great! Even some supporting actors became main actors on their next project. The plot is interesting. And the meaning behind the story is intriguing.

I was just a bit down when they said Song Joongki and Kim Jiwon wouldn't participate here anymore BUT I love Lee Joon gi so much. I trust him. His performance was never disappointing.

quick question for people who've seen S1: do i need to watch it before i watch S2 ?? can i go in completely blind or will i be utterly lost ? should i brush up on any recaps, etc, that i can find first ? send help, i desperately need to see the King & Queen of eye acting & mobile, facial expressions, aka, lee joon-gi and shin se-kyung, together on the same screen 🥺

This drama is going to be streaming from next week in my region. Bummer! I had set some time aside for it this weekend. The weird part is that it is not available even on the most popular high seas. Only the raw episodes are there and no subtitles. From what I see the quality is not good :(

In different regions, Disney+ has both seasons.
