Song Joong Ki will be back on TV as “Arthdal Chronicles” has been confirmed by tvN for season 2. It was reported that filming for the drama would also start soon as pre-production works are ongoing already.
Renewal and production details
The announcement for “Arthdal Chronicles” season 2 was released more than a week ago, and it was revealed that the main stars of the drama that include Song Joong Ki, Jang Dong Gun, Kim Ji Won, and Kim Ok Bin are coming back to the filming set to reprise their roles either on September or October. Soompi reported that the production team is setting the date of shooting according to what will work with the cast members’ schedules.
Song Joong Ki will definitely be back as Eun Som and Sa Ya in “Arthdal Chronicles” season 2, and the same could be said with the other main characters. However, it was reported that they will have a new director.
There are reports that Kim Won Suk will be replaced by “It’s Okay, That’s Love” director Kim Kyu Tae and “Her Private Life” Hong Jong Chan. The reason for his departure was the fact that he left Studio Dragon that produced the drama and transferred to Kakao M.
Story overview
“Arthdal Chronicles” is a fantasy drama that stars Song Joong Ki in the leading role. It tells the story about the mythical land of Arth, and the protagonist Eun Som who was born with a fate believed to bring disaster to the land.
He and his mother fled Arthdal so his life could be saved, but when he became an adult, he returned to the place of his birth. His struggles started from that point, and after learning the truth, he wants to save his tribe.
As per KStar Live, Song Joongki’s drama is a big-budgeted project costing around KRW 40 billion. With that scale, “Arthdal Chronicles” has been called the Korean version of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
Meanwhile, Song Joong Ki is currently filming “Bogota” in Colombia, and he is expected to return some time in April after his 3-month shooting schedule there. This will be the actor’s comeback movie since announcing his divorce from Song Hye Kyo in June last year.
