Enjoyed the five leads very much, especially the two Mr. Parks. Seo Joon appears to be a born leader, who while very modest and an introvert, acts with complete abandon in his roles. I watch because he's an actor able to ‘become’ whomever he portrays. After the first few moments, Seo Joon is forgotten and only the character in the story remains. He has spoken of his "plain face" several times and, as a portrait artist, I agree, yet his personality always reveals the inner man to light the outer with that sensational smile, which is transforming. He might not be noticed on the street if he were not famous, yet having found this outlet, he is unforgettable and, naturally, he’s well-loved by those with whom he knows via his work and by his fans worldwide. As a whole individual, he is irresistible. Unfortunately, this is always a two-sided coin in the world today with adoration sometimes being as questionable in extreme alone with those whose fantasies are not normal. I thought that Park Hyung Shik was excellent as the multilayered Emperor in Waiting; he demonstrated a restraint at times when we could feel his fury at being turned out as a child with only one individual to support him. No matter how devoted, kind, or brave his Aide-de-Camp, he had loss everything from stability to a mother's love and protection, with her apparent care going to politics. Even when he visits on occasion, she is more enemy than even a distant relative. Hyung Shik gives us a complete range of a Crown Prince with excellent genes who is constantly on a tight rope in a forbidden and forbidding landscape. I felt Sam Maek’s quiet despair in couple scenes with Seo Joon that were each a bit heart rendering: (1) when he asks Sun Woo Rang what he will do when the Emperor is found, to which the cold gaze and freezing response is that he will kill ruler asap because the Emperor ordered his best friend’s death; and (2) as he watched Soo Woo “become the ‘King’” with full, very-believable, personal power during their visit to the neighboring country. It was as if his interior structure of bravado crumbled, yet we only see it in his eyes and the smallest change of expression.
Evidently, Seo Joon and Hyung Shik are close friends, but during this series there is no sense of their real-life situation. Within the series - before, during, and after their time at the Hwarang Academy, the competition between the two characters is normal intense (whether positive or negative) and their initial sword fight through the barn with revolving doors was fierce. I found them equally able to become the warrior one would expect in that time.

Hwarang, a drama that takes us on a journey into Korea's past
Hwarang is a very good drama and one of my big favorites of 2016! I was able to watch this drama because it has V. We also find in this cast of renowned people such as Park Seo Jun or Minho of SHINee. Unfortunately, the casting is not everything. The number of clichés is numerous, in particular the classic love triangle and there are some scenes, some funny and tragic, which are overplayed. Even if the events follow one another quite quickly, all of the elements mentioned above lack naturalness and credibility, with long slow-motion scenes, breaking the rhythm several times. On the other hand, I really like the *Hanbok* that the Hwarang wears. Concerning the characters, I love Ah Ro, played by Go Ara who is MAGNIFICENT and she is one of the favorites as an actress, with her sublime clear eyes and in the drama. Otherwise, I became attached to the other character, namely Princess Suk Myeong (Seo Ye Ji). In terms of the OST, it fits very well with the feudal atmosphere of the drama. In short, despite the flaws, it is a pleasant drama to watch.Was this review helpful to you?

A very enjoyable Korean drama series
I really enjoyed watching this series especially learning about the Hwarangs. It was great to see that some of the Hwarangs although they have started out as enemies in times of hardships they had come together. I love how the friendships and loyalties developed between the handsome Hwarangs. There were many heartbreaking moments but lots of funny moments too which was refreshing. I know the ending might seemed rushed but it was a 40 episode series which was condensed to 20 episodes. The only person in this drama that I have no sympathy for was the Queen. The most heartbreaking moment was when the young Hwarang stepped in front of the ML and got stabbed/poisoned by his brother. Park Seo-Joon is the reason I watched it but got to love the rest of the Hwarangs although I think he was the most dynamic. The costumes and music were great too.Was this review helpful to you?
The only flaw I viewed was the last episode where the main two lead characters ended up with each other but then all of sudden 6 months passed. You know how they put on the screen at times "6 mos later", well, they didn't have that this time or I must've blinked and missed it... where did he go for six months?

Park Seo Joon salvou o drama
Estava na minha lista há anos pq gosto da atuação do Park Seo Joon, mas resolvi assistir para ver o Wooga Squad sendo formado. No geral esse é um drama esquecível, exceto, mais uma vez, pela entrega do Park Seo Joon em sua excelente atuação. Foi legal ver o Kim Taehyung tão menino rsrsrs e a Go A Ra realmente não era a melhor opção de protagonista, mas isso é só minha opinião que detesta as feições dela para histórias de drama, ela é boa com comédia pastelão.Was this review helpful to you?

Решила тесное знакомство с Силлой я начать с этакой недавней безделушки. Я ее смотрела онгоингом, поэтому пересмотр прошел быстро и, как вы поняли, с изрядной долей перемотки. Но однако вот сейчас, все-таки при всей развлекательности картинки, все же видны те правильные исторические факты, которые присутствуют в сериале. Во первых, конечно, это вечная корейская игра - противостояние клик, однако пока еще есть возможность просто заменять короля, потому что так уж складывалось и в Силле - власть не одной семьи, а у многих семей-основателей (как и в Когуре и Пэкче). Но тут изюминкой есть еще идея "святой кости", по сути закрытой кастовой системы, чего не наблюдалось в двух вышеназванных государствах. И эта система довольно плотно завязана на религии и мистицизме, что тоже отличает это государство от остальных. Поэтому появление такого оригинального явления как хвараны могло произойти только в этой стране. В «Самгук юса» («Достопамятные события Трех государств») также сказано, что, после того как в правление государя Чинхын-еака упразднили вонхва, все же поняли, что стране не обойтись без «Пути ветров и луны» (выражение, символизирующее красоту природы). Поэтому из семей уважаемых людей начали отбирать красивых молодых людей достойного поведения, которых называли хваран, а их руководителей — солъволлан («изначальный цветок полыни»)— стали почитать за «государственных святых». Реальную цель этой организации многие историки называют разной: от военной дружины, до поддержания общественного тонуса в стране. Однако одно ясно точно - сделав эту организацию престижной и статусной, правитель хитро ограничивал власть своего окружения, держа их детей при себе.По роду деятельности организация хваранов была не военной, а, скорее, воспитательно-тренировочной с элементами военной подготовки. Выделяют три основных вида деятельности хваранов: 1) закалка души и тела через изучение морали и постижение Пути; 2) изучение песен, музыки, сочинение стихов; 3) путешествие по стране в поисках красивых гор и речных потоков. Интересно отметить, что у хваранов было принято разрисовывать лицо. Нанесение грима объясняют либо желанием быть больше похожим на женщину, чтобы привлечь к себе внимание и помощь различных духов, либо непосредственным влиянием шаманизма: раскрашивание лица и есть акт становления шаманом. Вот видите -война тут не главное и влияние на профессиональные войска хвараны вряд ли имели, но Статусность, в таком шаманско-обрядовом ярком государстве была не менее важным делом, чем реальная власть. Пусть играются.
История в сериале как раз о начале хваранов, все просто и незатейливо, камера любуется актерами, мы тоже. Кстати, Пак Хён Сика я разглядела именно в этой дораме. Старший каст - сплошняком "монстры". Ким Чжи Су как королева была хороша, внезапно разглядела Ли Кю Хёна, который так прекрасно "выстрелил" в Secret Forest. Пак Со Джун справился, бонусом мелькнули Кван Су и Ви.
А институт хваранов просуществовал со времени правления короля Чинхын-вана (540-575) до царствования королевы Чинсон-нёван (887-896), когда Силлы не стало. 350 лет довольно большой срок.

A coragem não está em sacar a espada, mas em tirar a máscara.
Dorama que serve tudo ao mesmo tempo: ⚔️ história, 💁♂️ galãs de franja impecável, 🎭 intrigas políticas e 💔 amores impossíveis.👑🌸 Eu fui pelo elenco… e fiquei porque, no fundo, o coração também gosta de uma guerra bem penteada.
Comecei achando que seria um dorama histórico padrão — e sim, tem todos os ingredientes clássicos: reino dividido, identidade secreta, amizade masculina forjada na dor, e um triângulo amoroso pra colocar fogo no hanbok.
Mas o que me pegou foi o combo “beleza, lealdade e redenção” que atravessa todos os episódios.
Os Hwarangs são jovens guerreiros da elite que precisam aprender a lutar juntos, mesmo tendo passados opostos e feridas abertas.
E no meio disso, está ele: o rei escondido, criado no anonimato, tentando descobrir quem é — e se deve ser.
E o protagonista alternativo (aquele que te faz repensar o "team" toda semana), com alma rebelde e coração gigante, vira a coluna emocional da história.
✨ “Às vezes, a coragem não está em sacar a espada.
Está em tirar a máscara.”
O dorama entrega cenas lindas, trilha sonora marcante (e sim, tem V do BTS no elenco e na OST), e um bromance que vale mais que qualquer romance romântico.
As mulheres da trama também têm força, mesmo com menos espaço, e trazem camadas importantes pro desenvolvimento do enredo.
Mas aviso: tem barrigas no roteiro. Tem decisões que irritam.
Tem episódios que são pura beleza e outros que ficam na repetição do drama palaciano.
✨ “Nem todo herói nasce pronto. Alguns são esculpidos pela dor, pela amizade...e pela chance de mudar o próprio destino.”

Un drama storico diverso,molto più di una storia d'amore.
Un drama storico in costume un po' diverso dove la trama si concentra non solo sulla storia d'amore ma anche sui legami che si creano tra i personaggi.Molto gradevole da vedere e mi sono piaciuti molto questi hwarang bellissimi che creano un legame di amicizia che va al di là dei ranghi.
Molto bello e pure bravo il futuro re e tutta la lotta che farà per diventarlo.Ho amato lei con i suoi modi di fare e la sua forza di volontà.Ho persino rivalutato la regina.
Un mix di tutto tra un amore bello e alla fine anche forte,il triangolo amoroso,la rivalità tra i personaggi e la grande e bellissima amicizia che ne verrà fuori.Tante risate ma anche un po' di lacrime.Ci sono un po' di colpi di scena che fanno tutto più interessante.
Bel drama da vedere sicuramente.

Mi primer Kdrama
Es el drama que más veces vi en mi vida, y sin embargo siempre que lo hice me gustó. Las actuaciones son excelentes pero si hay algo que no soporté fue la historia de amor y a la protagonista femenina. Ahro, a día de hoy, años después, sigue siendo el personaje más fastidioso. Siento que la historia podría ser igual de buena e interesante sin ella. Me interesaba un montón saber qué iba a pasar, era un drama que no dejaba de sorprenderme y amaría poder volver a verlo como la primera vez.Was this review helpful to you?
tra le mie preferite
"Nessuna strada è nata per essere una via fin dall'inizio, qualcuno vi ha dovuto camminare, perché diventasse tale".Hwarang è un drama storico, con una trama avvincente, ricca di romanticismo, cameratismo, duelli e rocambolesche avventure contenuti positivi, attori centrati, bellissimi e bravi, bella fotografia.
Grande storia di amicizia fondata sulla condivisione di una visione del mondo, dei valori che essa sottende e soprattutto del desiderio virile di porre la propria vita al servizio di essi, più che al godimento di potere e ricchezza ...
Bellissime storie d'amore, all'episodio 19 ecco la dichiarazione d'amore della protagonista al proprio fidanzato : " ... credo in te più che in me stessa. Quindi credi in te stesso. Per quello che ne so, sei la persona più degna di fiducia del mondo, perciò sarai in grado di trovare la tua strada meglio di chiunque altro. Qualunque sia la tua scelta, non importa ciò che dicono gli altri, io sarò al tuo fianco fino alla fine"
L'ho rivista una terza volta e mi è piaciuta ancora di più ... top!
La consiglio a tutti a partire da 14 anni (c'è parecchia violenza e sopraffazione degli umili).

Que grata sorpresa
Se que este es un titulo viejo, pero a mi nunca me interesó, solo la empecé a ver porque estaba en Netflix.Él me gusta en sus papeles, pero a ella, le tengo idea, ya que siento que sobre actúa todos sus roles y ni te cuento de la lloradera, me imagino que es famosa por eso y le dan papeles en los que pueda desarrollar sus dotes Nuestro príncipe, es un chico lindo, que solo lo vi en una serie, me sorprendió bastante bien aqui. Ahora lo que me dejo emocionada eran todos los demás actores, todos senior me encantan, creo que son grandes actores.
Al principio no le hice mucho caso, la mire como una mas, ya que se notó desde el principio lo light que era. En especial por la musica que ponían. Digo Light porque después de algo dramático inmediatamente hacían algo para reir, se veia claramente que no querían que fuera muy dramático.
El triangulo amoroso, me encantó, ustedes no se imaginan la ansiedad de saber con quien se quedaba, todo tenia logica pero en el fondo los dos eran tan buenos como pareja que yo no me queria decidir, entonces mis expectativas estaban llenas de ansiedad, hasta el ultimo capitulo.
De verdad la recomiendo, es entretenida, salen chicos lindos, la historia no es tan cruel, y si de alguno modo lo es, no la muestran tan trágica. Recomiendo esta serie, no como de culto, sino porque me entretuvo mucho.
