Something else

Arthdal chronicles

So heres my theory for arthdal chronicles (in honors of s2 i will finally speak my mind for this show)

Kanmarou is the horse of aramun haesulla and the fastest ever (hes not really the fastest he just can make other horses slow down with some manipulating eye contact) and thats why mubaek thought eunseom is aramun but i think hes inaishige and that hes also the mirror with saya and that nunbyeol is the sword and tanya the bell.

Bc : nunbyeol is the first ever neanthal to learn the art of swordsmanship even tho neanthals cant do so and i think that eunseom and saya are the mirror bc if they both look at each other they would see a „reflection“ and eunseom can copy every movment he saw only once as if hes „mirroring“ them.

Idk about saya tho , to me he seems like he cant do so. But i do think that while eunseom is inaishigi, that saya is aramun bc asa sin brought aramun to arthdal and now tanya does the same to saya bc after she came arthdal found out abt saya. And the horse was like „eunseom is weak“ even thi he let him ride on him so maybe he confised saya w/him bc they are twins and kanmarou isnt really that much of a god , more like a server to one.

But maybe tagon could be aramun after all everything tanya said became true so maybe she forced aramun upon tagon and since inaishige is the only one that can beat aramun it has to be someone from arth if theres no one eunseom wants to beat uppp

Also it was said THREE CHILDREN were born on the SAME DAY in the SAME HOUR. So my question is how tf did asa hon(?) (eunseoms mother) give birth to twins in the same hour without problems? Like , no doctor , no medicines no nothing. Just in the forst without any warning like „yo baby about to pop out“ so maybe saya doesn’t belong to the prophecy at all . Cause he cant mirror the movements he saw right away like eunseom and we all know that tanya is the bell and im still putting my head on it that nunbyeol is the sword.

So what do you think of my theory? (Nunbyeol - sword ,eunseom-mirror , tanya-bell)

And whats yours?

(Also im upset about the new actors of arthdal chronicles s2 bc saya was so hot and now some random 40+ yrs old dude plays him 😔 and tanyas new actress is so bad at portraying emotions like her face always looks like this 0-0)

So far my main complaint about season 2 is that we're spending so much time on the ago tribe when they're so, so boring

this was my game of thrones

arthdal chronicles 2 switching out two out of four of the main cast is something i'm feeling a little iffy about, but knowing they kept the original writers is at least making me feel more hopeful

ARTHDAL CHRONICLES 아스달 연대기 (2019–2023) — s2.e08 | the strongest creature in the world

[suzannahnatters]

I want to celebrate the end of ARTHDAL CHRONICLES s2 with a little note on Taealha, my favourite female character in all of kdrama so far.

I don't usually love girlbosses, and I normally wouldn't cheer to see one of the main antagonists of a series escape most of the consequences of her actions. But I loved this for Taealha, and I've been thinking hard about why this is.

What I think it boils down to is this: Taealha is an antagonist. But she's not a villain. And this speaks to one of the main themes I'm seeing in Asian dramas.

While an antagonist is any character who opposes the protagonists of a story, a villain is a character who is outright evil. Unusually for a character who's pitted against very idealistic heroes, Taealha isn't a villain, even though she helps to rule and uphold a desperately evil society. The show's morality is more white-and-grey than black-and-grey, in the manner of most Western grimdark fantasy. I think that Asian drama generally views systemic change through a different lens than Western drama. In Asian drama, it is the rare heroic characters - like Tanya and Eunseom - who have the courage and vision to imagine a world that is any better than the one they inhabit. While Western storytelling sees injustice often as the action of an individual villain, Eastern storytelling sees injustice as the grinding of an impersonal social machine in which those who prop up the status quo are often as helplessly imprisoned within the system as those they rule over. Their fault may not be active malice, so much as the lack of vision, courage, and selfless compassion to fight for a better world.

I think this also has something to do with why so many people in the West have trouble with the concept of systemic injustice - they think that evil in society must be the work of a few bad actors, a few individual villains, rather than of a whole social order. I also note that in Eastern drama, especially in the shows which are more conscious of social justice (like SCARLET HEART RYEO and ARTHDAL CHRONICLES), the "villain" - insofar as there is one to pit against the idealistic heroes - is society at large. In many western dramas, on the other hand, it's clear the writers desperately want to believe that society at large is good; that collective action is only ever a force for justice and never for evil.

Despite being an antagonist opposing idealistic heroes, Taealha is able to be sympathetically portrayed because she, like everyone else, is caught between the gears of a cruel society. She may be rich, beautiful, deadly, and the heiress to a great lord, but in all her privilege she, too, is subject to the machinations of her father, of the king, and of Tagon, the man she loves. She is also not the only source of evil in the show - which makes it very, very clear that the evil in Arthdal stems from every ordinary citizen who profits from slavery and engages in war. Taealha opposes Eunseom and Tanya, but she does not do so out of a desire to cause or profit from suffering. Rather, Taealha is a pragmatist whose lack of faith in the gods leads her to seek survival by working with the system rather than destroying it according to the divine will. What makes her sympathetic is that her motivation is always to protect the people she loves: Tagon and, later, Arok. In protecting her loved ones, Taealha only wants the same thing as Tanya and Eunseom - but because she has no faith in something greater than either herself or society, she chooses not to try to change the system, but to beat the system at its own game. If she's cruel, it's only because she's trapped in a cruel system; she's still doing her best.

Taealha is no worse than anyone else in the show. She simply fails to be better - and that's a big part of why we can still love her and cheer her on, even though she's one of the main antagonists.

CURRENTLY WATCHING:  November. 

KOREAN.

+ My Dearest (2023)(s2)(30 Oct-) ~ Airing.

The sweet misery this drama causes me. My Dearest is gloriously painful. It's been forever since I've watched something so quotable. Nam Goong Min's love declarations as Lee Jang Hyun are heart-wrenching. The longing that every address holds is sooo painfully delicious.
