Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth

This watch was even better! The episodes seem 5 minutes long.

I had watched originally for my Park Hyung Sik & Park Seo Joon quests. Now I see so many familiar faces. The acting is top-notch.

For BTS fans, this was V's acting debut & he won an award for Best Idol Actor that year.

I paid much more attention to the music (which I loved before, but now I see the contribution to the story & love that 3 of the actors sang tracks).

Now that I've seen several historicals, I appreciate the costuming here - the details are gorgeous.

Not to mention over the top swashbuckling fighting in silk robes, sweet moments, funny, seasoned actors, & shower scenes.

I think this will continue to be a holiday tradition.

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth
(2016 - Viki, 20 1:00 eps)

For a holiday treat, I rewatched Hwarang (1st watched in March '23 - just 6 months into my kDrama hobby).

I'll put the summary here & my thoughts in a comment because I ran into a character limit.

It's a story of political intrigue. The Queen Mother sends the crown prince into hiding for his safety. He never develops the relationships he needs to take power & doesn't have confidence in his ruling abilities. Through a new group of young warriors (the Hwarang), the future king discovers himself & his abilities. There is a lot of comedy, but the political story takes over the last 3 - 4 episodes. There's bromance & romance. Watching the friendships develop between the Hwarang is one of my favorite things.

Finished #Hwarang The Poet Warrior Youth last night.

Action, suspense, tragedy, love triangles & quadrangles, with a good dose of comedy. Gorgeous costumes & scenery. Great actors. Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik & Go Ara deliver stellar performances switching smoothly from drama to comedy to romance.

Definitely on my list of favorites.
