Osen - Naver: 'Hwarang' first episode, spectacle + romance + comic, 'daebak smell'

1. [+3,183, -494] Can't wait for episode 2, the drama's watchable

2. [+2,852, -450] To be honest, it's fun. Gotta watch tomorrow's episode too

3. [+2,603, -402] Fun drama!! ã…‹ã…‹ I burst out laughing at Park Seo Joon's first entrance ã…‹ã…‹ his acting is jjang

4. [+2,415, -405] It was fun tho

5. [+2,263, -388] Exceeded my expectation, I'll keep watching

6. [+558, -63] Kwangsoo, don`t die ã…œã…œã…œ Made me nervous when I look at him

7. [+610, -81] How many lives did Kwangsoo have today?ã… ã… 

8. [+625, -115] Didn't expect much but it's honestly enjoyable ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ It looks so much like a contemporary drama with Silla era as a backdrop, it's decent ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹  So sad when Kwangsoo got hit

Sports Chosun - Nate: 'Hwarang', Park Seo Joon saves Lee Kwangsoo's life three times... entangled destiny 

1. [+199, -27] Wanted to see it for Park Seo Joon but the drama's boring and cringeworthy. I don't understand what it's aboutㅜㅜ ah ã…œã…œ

2. [+157, -12] Hope you wrap up with Hwarang well and I'll wait to see you in a drama as good as She Was Pretty. I'll keep cheering you on

3. [+143, -16] Does Lee Kwangsoo not have luck with projects..

4. [+17, -9] A reminiscent of Moon Lovers ã…‹ã…‹

5. [+17, -10] Seo Joon hyung had a good string of dramas, why did he pick this one?

Daum
1. [+698, -79] I hate Park Geun Hye

2. [+396, -71] Am I the only one who thinks it's immature?

3. [+222, -34] Immature themes must be the trend lately

4. [+256, -70] I looked forward to this, it's boring so I switched to another channel

5. [+244, -71] Boring... Had to force myself to finish it

6. [+200, -49] Can't tell if the problem lies in the script or directing.. It's just the first episode but I can't seem to get into the story. The bgm is so-so. I had hoped that Hwarang would ease off the disappointment from the previous drama but what a shame..

7. [+197, -65] The story has no sense of direction. I don't see anybody else who stands out aside from Kim Ji Soo. The OST feels out of place ã…‹ Too messy for me, I won't be continuing ã… 
 
8. [+273, -174] Excited to watch the coming episodes, didn't notice how quickly the hour passed by!

is the drama really that immature? Boring? probably it just their thoughts for the 1st eps,  :lol:

there's such a contrast between the never and nate/daum reviews. i haven't seen it yet, but my impression from the preview was that it'd be over-the-top and cartoony. i'll still check it out though. hopefully it's entertaining.

Judging by the reviews out now, Hwarang saved itself a lot of criticism by not falsely advertising itself as a drama it has no potential to live up to (Moon Lovers), it's a fusion sageuk and evident from the trailer, it falls into similar to stream as Sungkyunkwan Scandal- lighthearted.

 

How well Hwarang fairs would come down to the acting,script, writing and directing- the latter 3 is crucial- even a star studded cast isn't going to save a drama with shit writing and directing so I hope Hwarang doesn't disappoint.

 

Thankfully, the wait for subs won't be long so yay

The drama seems like it will be ok judging from the 1st episode. It's not bad, I think it's pretty decent so far. I'll see what they do with the rest of the drama. It has a fresh feeling to it and I think there will be a lot of lighthearted feeling. The cast of the drama are really pretty lol.

it did give quite an immature vibe but it's not that bad

if you have a very short attention span (mine is a bit shorter than most people) then this isn't the drama for you

i think it'll get more interesting when the hwarang boys r put together

I just watched with subs, and it's definitely light hearted with some broad comedy. But I enjoyed it. I'm already invested in Park Seo Joon x Go Ara solely from the drunken tripping scene. Her whole "go away" to the ground because it was getting to close to her coupled with her greeting him with "you're handsome" and wondering about her shoe was adorable, imo.

 

I think they did a good job setting up some general threads. Seo Joon as an outside. Minho and Jihan as ~enemies. Political intrigue of some kind involving Hyungsik. And we've had scenes with both sides of the love triangle. Now, we just need to introduce the other two Hwarang in the next ep and call it a day.

 

I think they're doing the humor surprisingly well. Interested to see how well they pull off the balance of drama.

Reading those comments from knetz about the premiere....I honestly can't relate lmao. I actually enjoyed the first episode way more than I thought I would, I was entertained the whole time. Kwangsoo's character is my fave so far, he's hilarious but sadly he's not one of the main ones.

Looking forward to ep 2

Can't relate to the knetz as well XD I just watched the first ep and I enjoyed it a lot. Tbh I expected the plot to be darker when they were still filming this but when they started promoting it with stills and teasers, I clearly saw that it was more light than I thought it would be, ngl my excitement for it went down since I'm more into dramas with darker plots XD

 

When the premiere date was getting closer tho, I guess I just got excited again. I heard abt the drama because of Taehyung, but the cast is just so lovable that even if Tae won't appear in an episode, I'd still enjoy it.

 

Maybe it's because my expectations were kinda low, but the first ep was ready enjoyable. I loved it!

Haven't managed to watch the eng sub. I only watch the raw and skipping the parts. Idk i feel embarrassed watching them. It's been long time since i watched k-drama properly from channels like KBS or SBS.

 

I was more excited watching the special eps. Now i don't feel attempted to watch the eng sub anytime soon. I think the story will grow much better as it goes tho.
