Actress Kim Ok Bin recently revealed that when filming the acclaimed drama “Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun,” she suffered a fracture. The actress attributes her injury to the demanding physical requirements of her character, which she sustained on set.
On October 25 KST, Kim Ok Bin spoke with a reporter in Seoul about her time spent filming the tvN drama.
In retrospect, Kim Ok Bin said of her experience working on “Arthdal Chronicles,” which lasted for more than four years and had a considerable hiatus between seasons one and two, “Season 2 production was unstable due to COVID-19. There were moments of uncertainty.” But my love for Arthdal remained constant. I therefore remained patient despite the break because I thought the series will finally come to a meaningful conclusion.
In addition, Kim Ok Bin conveyed her profound respect and empathy for the role, saying, “It was my first time playing a villain. Taealha has a fascinating past and unusual connections, to name just a few things. I became somewhat attached to her as a character who had a spectacular yet heartbreaking love.
Kim Ok Bin didn’t have many possibilities for fight scenes in “Sword of Aramun,” a fantasy drama with a lot of computer-generated imagery, because her part was mostly focused on royal intrigues. The actress laughed, “Considering that all the women of the Sea tribe were brought up to be warriors, I would’ve enjoyed some more action scenes.” But she did admit that she got hurt in one of the ‘Arthdal Chronicles’ less action-packed scenes.
She related, “I was riding a horse when I struck the sword and broke my bone in trying to save Tagon. We stopped filming for a little while before starting again.” Amazingly, her devotion to the role made her laugh, saying, “I told the writer about my injury and said, ‘Don’t take off my silver (armor).” The author found this amusing since I might have taken my character’s invincibility a little too seriously.” Kim Ok Bin’s commitment to her acting career is demonstrated by her commitment to both her skill and maintaining character integrity.
