The announcement of Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung as the new leads in the highly anticipated second season of "Arthdal Chronicles" has generated a wave of contrasting opinions among netizens.

While Lee Jun Ki's casting has been met with enthusiasm due to his suitable appearance for historical dramas and his commendable acting skills, Shin Se Kyung's inclusion has raised concerns among viewers who question her ability to deliver a compelling performance.

"Arthdal Chronicles" made its debut in 2019, featuring a star-studded cast including Jang Dong Gun, Song Joong Ki, and Kim Ji Won.

Despite initially receiving modest ratings, the drama garnered praise for its intriguing plot. After four years of preparation, the long-awaited second season is set to air, promising a brand-new era in the land of Arth.

Lee Jun Ki's involvement in the drama has been met with a positive response from the audience. Known for his versatility and captivating performances in historical dramas, the actor brings a wealth of experience to his new role.

Viewers are excited to witness the collaboration between Lee Jun Ki and Jang Dong Gun, creating anticipation for the upcoming season.

In contrast to Lee Jun Ki's warm reception, Shin Se Kyung's casting has been met with skepticism. Despite being equally stunning in appearance, the actress has faced criticism in the past for her stiff and emotionless acting.

This has led to concerns among viewers, who fear that her inclusion may impact the overall performance and enjoyment of the drama.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
