    The news about the impending premiere of The Sword of Aramoon, the ancient fantasy-saguek-action television series headlined by the globally popular and multiple-international award-winning actor and superstar, Lee Joon Gi, has heightened expectations and enlivened internet discussions. In the latest The Sword of Aramoon teaser, war is brewing in Arthdal. Eun Seom’s rise has threatened the might of Arthdal. The struggle for the physical sword, the birthright and legacy of Eun Seom, portrayed by Lee Joon Gi, will decide the fate of Arthdal. A deadly rival attempts to wrest The Sword of Aramoon, from Eun Seom’s grasp.   The Sword of Aramoon, which is led by Lee Joon Gi, who has won numerous INTERNATIONAL awards for acting performance and for other talents, also
stars Shin Sae Kyeong, Jang Dong Gun and international award-winning actor, Kim
Ok Vin.  Directed by award-winning
director Kim Kwang Sik and written by award-winning writers, Kim Young Hyun and
Park Sang Yeon, the Saturday-Sunday television series will be broadcast by tvN
and TVING and streamed on Disney Plus on 9 September 2023 (Saturday) at 21:20 /
9:20 p.m. (KST). The television studio also has other award-winning crew in its employ: Photography Director / Cinematographer Choi Chan Ming (3 awards), Lighting Director You Seok Moon (1 award), Composer Kim Tae Seong (4 Best Music Awards), Art Director Cho Hwa Sung (3 Best Art Direction Awards) and Costume Director Cho Sang Kyung who has also won awards for Best Costume Design.
There seems to be confusion over title of the television
series as it had been revised over and over again. But, fans are ‘over the moon’ with
the new title, ‘The Sword of Aramoon’.               Lee Joon Gi is a casting
coup, a victory for the casting department of Studio Dragon. Lee has been roped
in to boost the flagging ratings of the 2019 Arthdal Chronicles led by Jang Dong Gun. Studio Dragon has
achieved the unimaginable as Lee towers over the other rival actors. That Lee
Joon Gi is not only The Star Attraction of The Sword of Aramoon but has also Star Power should
not be trivialized. He is not just a sterling but also a globally popular and respected
actor. His multiple talents, level of fame, global popularity, the number of
international awards he has received, his accomplishments and his passionate
global fandom set him apart from the other actors. He is in a league of his own.
The global audience is
confident that he will bring depth and complexity in portraying his dual roles and bring a freshness to the interpretation of his two characters, Eun Seom and Saya, who are polar opposites.
It’s undeniable that the
athletic Lee Joon Gi is a casting coup for the director and Studio Dragon, the
production company. Unlike Lee, his rivals have neither a fan base (or solid one), international awards nor a fine reputation.    The question of whether any
actor other than Lee Joon Gi can play the role of Eun Seom and Saya in this war
saga is a closed one. It is misleading
to continue to harp on the topic that a certain actor can play the
demanding role. It doesn’t ring true. CASTING is the most crucial part for a
movie or television series. Lee Joon Gi is indisputably the right choice for
the two roles.  Lee Joon Gi’s key roles as
Eun Seom and Saya in the war-based sequel, The Sword of Aramoon, are PIVOTAL to
the success of the television series. The roles are demanding and require acting
performance and skills - someone who is capable of producing a tour de force performance, and someone who is athletic and masculine and has
excellent martial arts, sword-wielding and horse-riding skills. Don’t
delude or deceive yourself that a mediocre actor will suffice.
Lee Joon Gi Martial Arts Actor Award 2009 Korean Martial Arts Federation  It should be stressed that Lee Joon Gi is
known as The Top Action Star because of the high level of his martial arts and
action skills. In 2009, he won an award for his martial arts skills for
Time Between Dog and Wolf and Iljimae. Milla Jovovich, her director husband, Paul Anderson as well as other directors have praised Lee for his formidable acting, action and martial arts skills.
 Many critics have been impressed with Lee Joon Gi’s tour de performance in many of his dramas, including Again My Life, Flower of Evil, Lawless Lawyer, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Gunman in Joseon, Time Between dog and Wolf, The King and The Clown and Resident Evil: The Final chapter and so on and so forth.   Lee Joon Gi is known as The King of Saguek; his swordsmanship and horse-riding skills are crucial to this saguek war saga. It is hard to imagine anyone other that multi-talented Lee playing the role which requires so many skills. Arang and The Magistrate (2013)  Gunman In Joseon (2014)    The Scholar Who Walks The Night (2015)   Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016)  It is beyond reasonable doubt
that Lee Joon Gi is the most important actor and his role is crucial to the
success of The Sword of Aramoon. The Sword of Aramoon (2023)   One thing is certain, Lee
Joon Gi’s fine reputation in his professional and personal life precedes him. A dedicated, hardworking, passionate actor, he is bent on giving the best to his work and would do everything to succeed. He is a hero in the eyes of his fans and the public. His vast list of
successful works speaks volumes about his abilities and talents. And his colleagues and fans can testify about his dynamic, pleasant and charming personality.
Unsurprisingly, Ellemen Hong Kong has named Lee Joon Gi as ‘The Legendary Hero’ and Waves China has lauded him as an actor and personality who is ‘More Than Outstanding’.
   
It is worth mentioning that the
global heartthrob, Lee Joon Gi, is the hottest Hallyu Star of the Past and the
Present. Lee is well-loved by his millions of global fans since The King
and The Clown days. He attracts the attention of global viewers, has great appeal and drawing power, and these have made Lee Joon Gi the biggest Asian star.
Known to love his fans
very much, Lee, unlike many stars, gives them the best fan service. His global fans:
1. send him gifts for his birthday and festive occasions, like Christmas
2. support him and his television
series by sending him coffee or snack trucks or catered food during location
filming
3. organize advertisement
campaigns for his television series and movies
4. send him ‘Rice Wreaths’
for his production presentation / press conference for his television series
5. send him flower stands for his singing concerts Splendor Family Concert Japan 5 May 2023     The thought of watching Lee
Joon Gi, who has a large global fan base, in what many consider to be his most thrilling
work yet (many of his projects are very thrilling) has galvanized his fans and the discerning public into action.
The internet is abuzz with interesting discussions and comments about Lee but not the others. The fact that they could
hardly contain their excitement proves that Lee Joon Gi is the star attraction
and the greatest draw of the television series.   On
the question of screen time, it is believed that Lee Joon Gi would have the
most screen time because of the importance of his 2 roles, the twin brothers,
Eun Seom and Saya. The size or importance of his
role cannot be questioned since the two twin brothers are central to tale and occupy centrestage in the unique fantasy television series. 
Compared to many other
actors, Lee Joon Gi is far superior in terms of acting performance and talents.
He has been afforded global recognition. Lee has won many local and
international awards for his acting performance and non-acting performance.
He has the edge over many
actors because of his many international awards which include:

for The King and The Clown

and headline the ancient fantasy-saguek-action television series.
Many members of the cast and
crew, including production directors in many of his collaborations, have lavish praise for Lee Joon Gi and his performance. This could be
interpreted that the multihyphenate actor has a high standing in their eyes.
Choi Chan Ming, the Director
of Photography and Kwak Han Jin (the
Grip Operator) of The Sword of Aramoon, have lauded Lee Joon Gi.
  It is revealing when Choi
says, ‘LEE JOON GI - THE BEST ACTOR I’VE EVER WORKED WITH. On every

ME ALREADY ARE, in and of themselves, OF SUCH GREAT VALUE
TO ME. IT’S BEEN AN HONOR. THANK YOU FOR CREATING GREAT MEMORIES.’ Choi Chan Min’s words of
praise are morale boosters.  Lee commented on Kwak Han Jin’s (the Grip Operator) Instagram post, ‘Han Jin, you really did AN AMAZING JOB. I’m really thankful for the GREAT SHOTS YOU FILMED.’ It is eye-opening when Kwak Han Jin commented:

BY BEING SO ACCOMMODATING TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
