I'm going to miss TQ Psycho, Gluttonous Sociopath, and the rest of the cast. The actors must have had a blast filming this. I can only imagine how hilarious the BTS' are.

I'm still amazed at what a fantastic job the writer did, juxtaposing the right amounts of comedy with the more serious elements of corruption and righteousness. it was the perfect balance.

And the bromance and their dialogue was life! --stop winking at me. --don't try to kiss me. --i hate that tongue. lol

Really enjoyed watching this. Well paced plot. Lovely romance.

Btwn the TQ psycho ticket to save Seo Yool and "he can't stop eating. please save his lost soul," i seriously couldn't stop laughing. i absolutely love the comedy in this drama, and even more so, the bromance. this is one of those rare dramas that has gotten exponentially better as it draws to a close.

this drama is daebak. i can't even hate on the "villains" bc they are just as hilarious as the good guys. great job writernim.

I know they have to pace the story in order to fill 30 episodes, but the drama is becoming slower than molasses. I wish they'd split the time more evenly between the past and present. At this point, the present scenes have become far more interesting. Perhaps because we're only getting snippets, making me want to see more.

Why would you get bashed for liking one of the idol actors? We all have favorites, be they good or bad! lol. Taehyung is the main reason I gave this a try, because unless it's REALLY engaging, I generally skip period dramas. The story turned out to be interesting enough, even if it unraveled halfway. And the bromances were fun to watch. The lead couple, not so much. I fast forwarded through the majority of their scenes.

Oh Hwarang....I really wanted to love you....but between Ah Ro's nonstop crying, a main couple who had absolutely zero chemistry, and a story that jumped around like a hot potato...I just couldn't. But kudos to the bromances - they were a pleasure to watch.

i knew something bad was going to happen when that halmeoni didn't lock her door.

i'm starting to get the feeling that so joon's mentor could be ma rin's dad, and that he's travelling from the past to save his daughter, by having so joon marry and have a baby with her. and does no one on the train notice when so joon disappears and reappears from the middle of nowhere?

we should have taken the hint, when they unbelievably survived that plane crash, that the rest of the drama would be just as absurd and unrealistic. not gonna lie though, this drama is addictive.

love the cartoons at the end... :)

LOL. I had a feeling you wouldn't like this one b/c of LJH. It happens though. There are some actors/actresses that completely destroy dramas for me if they are the leads. The only exception is if the plot is phenomenal (which rarely happens), and/or casts other actors that are favorites.

I like this. It has a grounded and realistic feel to it, and isn't overly light and fluffy. The start is mellow, with a seemingly straightforward plot, but I'm anticipating some interesting turn of events. I'm intrigued where the writers will take this. Not sure how I feel about his time-travel mentor, though. Good or bad?

@Pripri99 agree. they should take a few pointers from japan. jdrama is short, sweet and to the point. rarely more than 12 episodes.

The inconsistencies and surrealist tendencies of the show, drive me up the wall. But despite this, I'm really enjoying Missing 9. It's one of the few shows I look forward to every week.

Your comment sums up how I feel about Missing 9, but was too lazy to write myself. I love the actors and “survivalist” premise, but I hate the inconsistencies. Although, I’m beginning to ignore the contradictions – there are so many. I fast forward occasionally, so I believed I had missed something, when Joon Oh magically reappeared two days after he “drowned”. I thought he had washed up on the other island. But no. He was on the main one all along. The island isn’t THAT big. Why couldn't he walk over to tell the group he was alive? I know! Because the writer thought it would be too unbelievable, if Tae Ho had to fight SIX grown men and women for that stupid lifeboat – therefore, get rid of Joon Oh temporarily. Right. Because holding off FIVE of them was so realistic. How does this drama manage to reel me in every week? I seriously shouldn’t be enjoying Missing 9 as much as I am. :)

At least kdrama is becoming more creative in how they kill people. Instead of the truck of death, we have steel beams of death. Did NOT see that coming.

Second lead syndrome already. I'm shipping Yoon Ha Kyung and ex-prosecuter Seo Yool. I really hope he's not truly evil, and is working undercover.

Hwarang isn't better or worse than alot of dramas out there. It's really up to your personal preference -- if you find the premise of the story interesting, appreciate sageuks, enjoy cute bromances, like the overall cast (lot's of eye candy here), can overlook a semi-irritating female lead character and don't mind mediocre plots -- this may be up your alley. But if you're only looking for a compelling romance story -- then you may not like this, because the main leads lack chemistry. That said, there is a secondary couple that is truly adorable -- so you will, get some romance out of the drama. For me the pros outweigh the cons. Thus far, I'm enjoying it.

What a wonderful start. Great cast and intriguing story. I can see how it's first two episodes are number one in the ratings.
