New Song Joong Ki ~content~ is coming our way because according to a report by Ilgan Sports (as translated by Soompi), Season 2 for his K-drama Arthdal Chronicles is totally happening! Filming will begin in September or October this year and the main cast will reprise their roles, including actress Kim Ji Won.
A new director is reportedly leading the project, replacing Kim Won Suk, who previously stated that he would only direct one season of the show. Despite Season 1's open ending, fans of Arthdal Chronicles weren't sure if a Season 2 was possible, especially because the show received mixed reviews.
Arthdal Chronicles is a fantasy TV series that stars Joong Ki as an "innocent-looking fighter" named Eun Som. As we follow Eun Som's story, we also see the birth of civilization in the ancient city of Arthdal, the capital of Gojoseon.
The first season of Arthdal Chronicles aired in 2019 and had a total of 18 episodes. It featured several lines from two Filipino languages (Tausug and Yakan)! BLACKPINK's Jisoo also appeared in the K-drama as a character named Sae Narae. She had one line, "Saya-nim," and her scene with Joong Ki lasted for around 11 seconds and then her character...died.
According to reports, the drama's production cost is more than 40 billion Korean Won (approximately $34 million or P1.8 billion). In fact, it's said to be the Korean version of Game Of Thrones!
