Hwarang

Synopsis

Set in the Kingdom of Silla, the story follows the creation of Hwarang, a new elite group formed to protect the young heir to the throne and challenge the power of the existing noble class. These young men come from different backgrounds, yet they are brought together to train, fight, and shape the future of their country.

Among them is Moo Myung, a mysterious commoner who joins the group while chasing his own past, and Prince Jin Heung, who hides his identity and trains under the name Ji Dwi. They train alongside Su Ho, Ban Ryu, Yeo Wool, and Han Sung, each carrying personal struggles and ambitions. Ah Ro, a spirited young woman connected to several members of the group, becomes part of their journey as bonds and romantic feelings deepen.

As political tension rises, the Hwarang face challenges that test their loyalty and ideals. Through friendship, rivalry, and the search for justice, they grow into the warriors who will help shape a new era for Silla.

Triangle Details

2ML forces a kiss on the FL, which pissed me off a lot lol. That act alone elevates the triangle’s overall weight.

My Notes / Opinions

The romance felt weaker and dragged out, the FL cried constantly, and that forced kiss from the 2ML pissed me off. I skipped a lot of scenes because the writing wasn’t strong enough to hold attention. But when Seo Yea-ji appeared later in the drama, she was easily the highlight. Stunning on screen and instantly more captivating than most of the main cast.
