[ENDED] [KBS2] "Hwarang: The Beginning" (화랑(花郞)) Official Thread


rich witch

Recommended Posts

Soooo, I finally found the right place to spazz out my inner excitement towards Hwarang yasss.

 

Daayuuum episode 2 was good!! It kind of set the mood for the overall drama, fun, thrilling yet melancholic at some parts when necessary. I backtracked this thread a little bit and I have to agree that this drama have the same vibe as Sungkyungkwan Scandal just by looking at the trailer, but I know the story will get intense as it develops (might have a heavier plot compared to Sungkyungkwan, but that's probably just me :3). I can't wait to see how the warriors will perform their duty during certain conflicts (fighting scenes, killing scenes, etc) and hopes that it gets popular over time  :ahmagah: .

 

PS: I'm sad that Seonu (Kwangsoo) died tragically, and props to him for handling that big amount of blood in his mouth  :._.:

Ugh...this episode was too slow for me..my friend and I got frustrated with half of the episode because they kept dragging on the love story plot where most of them are unnecessary staring, I mean yeah kudos for the acting but I also want to know what the other Hwarang up to other than the 3 casts.

 

But it got interesting during the end and I'm looking forward to today's episode. At last, something about Hansung and his brother so his own plot/concern is developing. I hope we got to know more about Yeowool though like him searching for his father. I like the politics that happening since it is still related to hwarang but pleaaasee, cut out the love story 😭

My thoughts on episode 10...

 

 

 

Okay, far better than episode 9 but the last part kinda turned me off. I'm not sure, too drastic to my liking. Kinda funny though since I felt the earlier scenes starting from Aro went to see her brother's grave(?) should speed up a little while the end needs to be slowed down since Sunwoo and Aro relationship doesn't make any sense to me at this point. But then again, I'm here for the Hwarang plot but not the love story *shrugs.

 

And yes at Dansae reappearance! I kinda like that guy ever since he appeared because he seems to care so much about Hansung. Now that he's with Sunwoo more airtime for him. I have my own conspiracy theory about how he fits in the dynamics of the story so I'll just wait for the latter episodes. Plus, that scene where the other Hwarang guys in the club is my most favorite scene for this episode. I thought that part would get ugly with Suho beating up Banryu but Suho's sister saves it. They are siblings indeed.

 

 

 

And btw, I know it's a modernized saeguk but I do now understand why some people complained about it. Like...

 

 

 

Do cpr exists during that time though lolololollll 

 

 

 

Anyhow, have some Hansung who is also concerned with Hwarang's plot as of late.

The Queen is so shady. Also, is the Princess her daughter?

 

Yup....the princess is the king's half sister and based on real history of Silla, they were married just so the royal family could maintain their "sacred bone" blood line pure. (Quoting this from dramabeans latest recap.)

I have been wondering about that too tbh.

 

++++++

 

Anyway, I finished reading the webtoon, and tbh, the webtoon gave way more insights about the Hwarangs than the drama did. It lowkey annoyed me how these precious side stories will never be on the drama :(

 

About how Banryu and Sooyeon relationship grows, about Hansung and Danse, about how Hansung finally sees Banryu in different light, and about how Yeowool ended up joining Hwarang, about how he could be so compatible with Hansung, about his sass which like 10x higher than in the drama, basically everything about Yeowool. I can't believe they let a character as interesting as Yeowool getting 5 minutes screen time at most on every episode  :meow:

 

Wait, did someone translated the webtoon version of Hwarang?? I really want to read it ever since someone shared about the side story of Banryu and Suho.
