War, gods, and desires in Arthdal Chronicles: Aramun’s Sword

The upcoming Arthdal Chronicles: Aramun’s Sword has dropped new character teasers with each one highlighting the motivations of its main cast. Taking place eight years after its previous season, this newest installment to the series will follow the journey of its four central figures as they write their own legends and leave their mark on history.

Playing the role of twins Eunseom and Saya is Lee Jun-ki (Again My Life), and while he may be a departure from the previous iteration, he sure fits the look of the leader of the Ago Tribe and future god of Arthdal. In his teaser, Eunseom declares, “For Tanya. For my people.” As he plows down his enemies, he promises to become Aramun Haesulla (the god of union).

Returning to his role as Tagon is Jang Dong-gun (Arthdal Chronicles). Described as the bringer of war and the first king of Arthdal, Tagon makes his grand entrance and whispers, “How foolish.” He announces boldly that he is both order and balance, and ends with the declaration: “It’s finally time to unite Arthdal.”

Joining the cast for the first time is Shin Se-kyung (Run On) as Tanya. Her title is the one who takes advantage of the gods — Arthdal’s “great mother.” Unlike the others, she dresses in white and stands against violence. In the teaser, she realizes that this war will not end until one side is annihilated, and she feels that it is her duty to stop that bloodshed. As she holds a ritual, Tanya proclaims, “They will listen now to the cries of the living and all their sounds.”

Finishing out this quartet is Kim Ok-bin (Love to Hate You) reprising her role as Taealha. Now the queen of Arthdal, Taealha will exploit anything to achieve her goals, and her ruthlessness is on full display in the teaser as she easily holds her own against her foes. She advises someone to never forget the things you wish to possess no matter what, and at the end, she states, “If it’s not a game I prepared, I will not play. I would rather upturn it all.”
