April 21, according to Korean media reports, the fantasy Korean drama " Asda Chronicle " produced by tvN TV last year was once given high expectations by drama fans and netizens because of the starring of Korean male star Song Joong Ki . However, after the broadcast, the audience mixed praise. In the second season of "Asda Chronicles" that will be produced, Korean media reported that the cast will be changed. Lee Jun-ki and Shin Se-kyung replaced Song Joong-ki and Kim Ji-won , which caused widespread discussion among fans and netizens.
"Asda Chronicles" is set in the imaginary ideal country of ancient civilization "Asda". Song Joong-ki plays the twin brothers "Yin Chan" and "Saya" with different personalities respectively. In "Hidden of the Sun, ", a female friend Kim Ji-won, who had partnered with Song Joong-ki, plays his first love "prophetic girl Tan Ya". The drama has a maximum rating of 7.7%, but the audience's comments have mixed reviews. However, some media reports show that Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji-won will not be seen in the second season, and the production company "Studio Dragon" said that Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se-kyung will replace the performance.
Korean media reported yesterday that the time of "Asda Chronicles 2" is set in the first season. Decades later, Yin Chan and Tan Ya grew up and were replaced by Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se-kyung, and Jang Dong-gun continues to play Asda's hero and Saya's adoptive father "Tu Kun". A person familiar with Studio Dragon confirmed that the company did send an invitation to Lee Jun-ki and Shin Se-kyung, but the agency of both parties said it was still discussing whether to take on the show.
After performing "Asda Era", Song Joong Ki also took on the Korean drama " Vincenzo ", playing the role of a lawyer who is both righteous and evil, and set a new peak in his acting career. In addition, he also flew to Colombia to shoot the movie "Bogota". This year he also took on the new JTBC drama "The Little Son of the CBD". He has been filming abroad and returned to South Korea only after completing the filming last week. After divorced from Song Hye Kyo , he has made continuous scene appointments and his career has been moving forward steadily.
It is reported that "Asda Chronicles" invested 50 billion won in production costs, and the crew built a 10,000-square-meter-large ancient civilization kingdom in , Usan City, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The second season is like the first season written by Kim Yong-seong and Park Sang-won in "Queen Shande", "The Tree's Big Roots", and directed by Kim Kwang-sik in "Queen Cheolin". Originally, the film will be opened in the second half of 2020, but it has been postponed for various reasons. The crew hopes that the second season will be broadcast in 2023.
"Asda Chronicles" was broadcast in 2019, and the first season was divided into 3 plots and a total of 18 episodes. The highest rating is only 7.7%, and the ratings are not proportional to the production fee, which caused controversy. Song Joong Ki announced his divorce from Song Hye Kyo before the 9th episode was broadcast, and the ratings dropped to 5.8%. Many crews came up with new ways to deal with the divorce incident of Song Joong Ki and added details of "divorce liquidated damages" on the contract. If the actor's divorce news affects the TV series, they will compensate up to three times the liquidated damages. Therefore, "Asda Chronicles 2" also wants to fight a ratings turnaround with the replacement of male and female leading actors this time.
