I'm already happy with the facts that korean audiences accept season 2, even saying that LJG succeed in erased SJK (metaphore of course, the meaning will be Lee Joon Gi and Shin Se Kyung made an impeccable breakthrough performance despite being cast replacements)

So far i found none articles (korean and english) talk bad about The Sword of Aramun. Please let me know if you see one

Many also mentioned about its the right choice the make the twin had same hairstyle and same hair lengths.

I quote "Despite not having a significant difference in hairstyles, Lee Joon Gi deeply portrayed Eun Seom’s rough and fiery image as well as Sa Ya’s naïve but clever nature. During the twins’ first iconic meeting, Lee Joon Gi paid attention to the characters’ details, including their gazes, gestures, gimmicks of their expressions, and their way of speech. It was as if the characters were portrayed by two completely different actors. "

So yeah now IDFC with those trolls, haters, other actor's fans or old ac1 fans who watch season 2 for comparing purpose and keep giving negative remarks and spoiled the mood. The more they act like that the more they show their true color.

if you have Disney + account you can use VPN and try log in into another Disney+ to access this drama.

For those who already have Disney+ account you can use Korea VPN and log in to Disney + Korea.
Raw file only, no subs 😓

The rest of Disney+ will start show The Sword of Aramun next week on 16 Sept, episode 1-3 with official english sub onwards

With the same trick you can use VPN to access this drama with English sub, i suggest try Disney+ Singapore since English is their main language. Also I heard Canada and Australia Disney+ will have The Sword of Aramun on 16th.

First episode of ‘The Sword of Aramun’ quashes fans’ concerns over new lead actors

Cable channel tvN’s fantasy period series “Arthdal Chronicles” (2019) has returned for a second season -- “The Sword of Aramun” -- with new lead actors, garnering plenty of interest from viewers with its first two episodes.

Prior to the premiere of “The Sword of Aramun” on Sept. 9, drama fans -- especially those who enjoyed “Arthdal Chronicles” -- were concerned over whether the new leads, Lee Joon-gi and Shin Sae-kyeong, would be a natural fit with the Arthdal universe.

Lee and Shin took on the roles of the Ago tribe's leader, Eun-seom, and the high priestess of Arthdal, Tan-ya. In the first season, Song Joong-ki and Kim Ji-won played the roles, respectively.

With the first episode, “The Sword of Aramun” succeeded in putting any concerns to rest.

The first episode of the 12-part fantasy series recorded a viewership share of 5.4 percent when it aired Saturday.

Compared with the highest record viewership share of 8.1 percent for “Arthdal Chronicles” and 6.1 percent for tvN’s “The Uncanny Counter Season 2,” "The Sword of Aramun" is considered to be off to a strong start. "Arthdal Chronicles" ended with an average viewership share of 6.55 percent.

Lee explained that he did his utmost to immerse himself in the character and the series’ setting.

“I tried to make the most of my time at the shooting site. I was afraid of forgetting the characters, place names, tribes and the drama’s unique universe as soon as I left the shooting site and went home,” the actor said in a promotional interview with Disney+.

Some viewers who were satisfied with the change of the lead actor shared their high expectations for both Lee and the upcoming episodes.

“Lee Joon-gi is famous for shooting dynamic action scenes without a body double. Because ‘The Sword of Aramun’ is likely to present more bloody, breathtaking battles between the Arthdal Kingdom and the Ago tribes to decide the true ruler of Arthdal, Lee will shine brighter as the story continues,” Kim Min-ji, a 32-year-old chef in Busan who enjoyed the “Arthdal Chronicle” series, told The Korea Herald.

“Song Joong-ki matched season 1. But, I think Lee Joon-gi is good for season 2. There will be a lot of battle scenes and Eun-seom needs to be wild,” a YouTube comment read.

"The Sword of Aramun” is about the story of a great war between Tagon, who took the throne of Arthdal, and Eunseom.

The series is available on streaming platforms Tving and Disney+.

If you can open The Sword of Aramun chatroom it became chaotic last Sat-Sun after first episode aired. They were quarelling since some keep comparing SJK and LJG
most of it about how SJK more beautiful than LJG on screen lol.
As for SSK most of them love her Tanya's portrayal

in korean.

i'm not surprised about that. everywhere, including on naver chat other actor fans swarmed and complained about how they supposed not to change the lead.
But i'm happy with the facts that they succeed to erase all those season 1 complaints judging from many positive remarks from neutral third parties

episode 2 so so much fun. plot twist at the end of ep 2. still no english sub so we must be patient 💀

next week would be 3 episode for saturday and continue following korea at the same day. only delayed one week.

let me know if you have someone who similar with old cast in mind.

haha yes. we must wait 💀 until next week to get our sub.

For those who already have Disney+ account you can use Korea VPN and log in to Disney + Korea.
Raw file only, no subs 😓

The rest of Disney+ will start show The Sword of Aramun next week on 16 Sept, episode 1-3.

its not easy to get all same actors back after 4 years Several already have own project or become main leads in own projects. I believe production team already tried their best to cast all the actors for season 2.

it will be on D+

Go Bo Gyeol already become main lead in her own drama so I can't imagine she willing to come back to arthdal. The same with Kim Sung Cheol (Ipsaeng in season 1).

yeah we can say it a very different sequel since they changed almost all staffs and crews

TVN release new trailer strictly to korean audience one day earlier than international fans, I wonder why

Today they released first reunion between Eunseom/Saya, can't watch without korea VPN, but several fans brought it to sns

its clearly that Saya know about Eunseom, and Eunseom still has no clue.

if you have instagram you can check this account, she is JG fan and she translated everything LJG related. Since she is korean native, her translation is accurate.

For those who interested.

Disney+ Korea Youtube channel shared "The Sword of Aramun Team’s Keywords Interview"

With each “keyword,” Lee Joon-gi, Jang Dong-gun, Shin Sae-kyeong, and Kim Ok-vin talk about what to look out for.

https://youtu.be/n2Tf-lq7Q74?si=F4S7yLWslo_4xtQC

Go Bo Gyeol replaced by Ha Seung Ri. Karata Erika probably won't coming back, since her past scandal, but we have new Momo Tribe member in season 2, named Karat. Jisoo, wasnt she just cameo and already died in season 1?

No more " Netflix Original" written in AC1 opening and also they don't have N logo anymore.

season 1 already available on D+ since July
