If you enjoy the fantasy genre, (D&D, LOtR) you'll experience a fascinating look into this Korean drama's world about an early civilization with differing tribes and races that exist.
There are several sub-themes that enter-twine magic, religion and love that offers the stage for fantastic acting from the series leads.
I highly recommend the series! Subtitles help you read faster too! ;)

When you think of a Korean drama, you'd think of a modern love story in which characters are drawn closer in the face of conflict. This production is a daring, and likely expensive, leap into uniqueness that goes far beyond the typical romance. The vibes felt in Avatar, Narnia, and Harry Potter films are also felt throughout the episodes that make this show a cinematic experience you'd never wish would end.
The reviews don't do justice to this beautifully put together show; I had expected at least a 9/10 if not higher.
Some critiques argue that the lengthy episodes make the story progression rather slow. However, any great tale that keeps us on our toes are those that invest time to connect with the characters (this may be why original novels tend to be superior to their movie counterparts). Critical comparisons made with Game of Thrones may as well be beyond my understanding; this drama holds its own essence. Irking our curiosities of primitive life and a plot that pulls on your heartstrings. The actors and entire production crew couldn't have done a better job. This show is more than about romance; its about friendship, commitment, respecting mother nature (yes, like in Avatar), and believing in yourself. I highly suggest you finish all your errands before watching the first, 1.3 hr episode. Believe me, you'll find yourself clicking to the next.

I was one of the lucky ones that found this when all the episodes were out. After watching the first few episodes my life the past week was literally work then home and watching Arthdal Chronicles. The more episodes i watched the more i did not want it to end and the closer i got to the last episode the more i was dreading the end was coming and now it's finished i can not stop thinking about it especially with the way it ends you got to be sure there's plans for another season. I have been recommending this show to anyone and everyone i know and have not done that since the early days of GoT. Speaking of GoT, saying it's a copycat could not be further from the truth, Arthdal Chronicles is unique and while watching it not once did GoT cross my mind. I not only hope they come out with a season 2 but a season 3, 4 and 5 !!
Offering stunning cinematography with a captivating story to tell, this is a must see, currently streaming on Netflix. This is no GOT to which some critics have compared it. Unless a series came out in the 1930's, then most everything has been put to film before and anything new draws some of their parts on something that's already been done. That being said, I don't see the comparison to GOT. This series stands on its own merits. I binge watched the first season and await more.
I really like this show, which surprises even me, but the wait between episodes is even harder than for GoT in the good seasons. The acting is done really well, not just from main characters but even background and supporting ones, and they feel alive, like this place is actually a place that exist. Instead of the feeling like these people are only there to do their job.
The CIG is acceptable, this is not a hollywood production so I am impressed with how much they can get out of the budget. And the sets are also done well, and with story and lore behind them too. You get the feeling that somethings are done because that is how it's always been done.
Again I can't wait for season 3, as the ending took a turn I for once din't see coming. Please keep it up :)
