‘The Sword of Aramun’ captivated viewers with its non-stop, rapid-fire plot.

In episode 2 of the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Sword of Aramun’ (written by Kim Young-hyun, Park Sang-yeon, directed by Kim Gwang-sik), which aired on the 10th, the Agoh Allied Forces won the first battle against the Arthdal ​​Conquest Army, while Eunseom (played by Lee Joon-gi) and Saya (played by Lee Joon-gi)), depicting the righteous death of Moo-baek (played by Park Hae-joon) who saved the story, increasing the level of immersion in the story.

First, there was a heated conflict between the combat power of the Arthdal ​​conquest army, which specialized in field warfare, and the tactics of the Ago Allied Forces, which had to surpass it. Eunseom, the leader of the Allied Forces, created an obstacle in the field, breaking the ranks of Arthdal’s 1st Cavalry and showering them with arrows in the confusion. As the allies were helplessly defeated, Saya, the general of Arthdal, panicked and dispatched the Bronze Armor, the most elite soldiers, to turn the tide of the war towards Arthdal. The bronze armor soldiers advanced fiercely amid the gray smoke and mercilessly slaughtered the Allied Forces.

In the battle of one advance and one retreat, the goddess of victory sided with the Allied Forces. Eunseom’s horse, Dori, overpowered the enemy’s horses and completely took away the mobility of the bronze armored soldiers. The bronze armor soldier, who fell in the middle of the field without a horse or weapon, was helplessly defeated by the cavalry of the Ago Allied Forces, and thus the first victory of the war was claimed by the Ago Allied Forces.

At that time, a political battle as fierce as a war was taking place in Arthdal. The fact that Queen Taealha (played by Kim Ok-bin) tortured Yeolson (played by Jeong Seok-yong), who possessed pure iron production technology, became a ignition, leading to a confrontation between King Tagon (played by Jang Dong-gun), high priest Tanya (played by Shin Se-kyung), and Taealha. thing.

In the intense conflict of interest between Tagon, who demanded that he give up his ten hands, and Taealha, who demanded that he take only his body and not his knowledge and skills, Tanya fought back with a terrifying warning that if she touched her father, Ten Son, she could make Prince Arok angry. In the end, Tanya put an end to the situation by making a promise that she would bestow divinity on Prince Arok if he freed his father. This is because they recognized the fact that it was Taealha’s plan that created a situation that was bound to be a catastrophe no matter which side was chosen. In response, Taealha belittled and mocked Tanya by saying, “You’re done with Asaron. You look like an old snake.”

Meanwhile, Saya, who lost the war against the Ago Union led by Baenatbut Eunseom, became even more indignant at her sense of defeat towards Eunseom. He went so far as to not even send a messenger to Arthdal. In doing so, he had to follow Tagon’s orders to win the war and solidify his position as his successor, and he had to win the war all the more because his life could be in danger if it became known that Inai Shingi Eunseom was his brother’s brother.

The decision that Saya ultimately made after suffering bitter hardship was to get rid of Eunseom using the excuse of meeting Baenatbot. Mubaek, unaware of this intention, was just overjoyed at Saya’s decision to meet Eunseom. On the promised day, Eunseom and Saya met in a remote wooden warehouse and observed and guarded each other. The scene where they talked about what kind of life they lived and what they saw each other in their dreams evoked a sad feeling.

The brothers’ reunion, which took place in the silence of a quiet night, was shattered by the appearance of Shahati’s Children, an assassination organization. Shahati’s attack on Saya was enough to overwhelm even the defenseless Eunseom. Then, a fire started in the warehouse, and Mubaek rushed to the warehouse, but Eunseom and Saya had already lost their minds. Mubaek’s desperate will to rescue Eunseom and Saya with all his might while separating Shahati, who was persistently attacking, continued. Mubaek, who lost a lot of blood due to Shahati’s attack, was close to death, and at that moment, he closed his eyes, remembering Eunseom and Saya’s mother Asahon (played by Choo Ja-hyun), whom he had loved so much in the past that he could not even express his feelings.

One wonders whose orders Shahati, who was attacking Saya, received, and what kind of impact the reunion of the Baenat brothers will have on Arthdal ​​and the Ago Union. ‘Sword of Aramun’ airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM.
