I want to see YeoWool find his father finally by the end of this show...writers don't fail me now  :._.:

 

 

If by chance Sam Maek dies I can't be mad at the writers...because I would've done the same thing. He's such a romantically tragic character so far that unless things change, it would actually be a good ending for his story (??) He was really self-deprecating from the beginning. At the same time a happy ending would be so great for him, but I'm not going to expect one or the other, who knows how they'll write it.

 

But let me see. "I wish I were really an eunuch and a moron." "If I take the throne, will that be all right"? He's more afraid of being king than of dying? He'd rather be Dog-Bird's friend than be King? He's a pretty angsty character who seems to be begging Go Ara to like him and begging Dog-Bird to be his friend, begging his mother to stop being a tyrant. So it's either he'll successfully rise up on his own and stay alive, or he will die, hopefully having gained at least Dog-bird's trust.

Wasn't he saying that getting the throne would be scarier than death? I honestly don't know where to land with him. I mean, yeah, I would probably start being weird if the same guy stole my girl (who was never his in the first place) and my birthright. I think, either way, I will be shedding a tear during the finale. They did manage to make Sam a sympathetic character though but Sunwoo is too since he's the orphan who had to fight for everything in life.

NOOOOO SMJ a.k.a JiDwi wont be die, if he dies, this drama gonna be endup tragic AF! ughhh  :wth:

 

Ji Dwi is the CORRECT King. I dont wanna hear nothing about making someone else king, Who? SW? hell no.

 

He absolutely is the correct king and I agree. He's also pretty good as a tragic character lol. A person can die as king, after all. But my ideal scenario would be Sam Maek as king, and Dog-Bird as his right-hand man. When it comes to Go Ara, I really like her and Sam Maek together.

 

But at the same time, he is indirectly responsible for her brother's death, also his mother killed her mother. Now he wants to take the girl...hmm that wouldn't sit right with Dog-Bird at all. I'm interested to see how the writers resolve these issues. In a brutally realistic story, Ara will marry Sam Maek and become Queen whether she likes it or not. Well, no, in a brutally realistic story Sam Maek would MARRY HIS SISTER, to maintain their sacred bloodline, so never mind...lol

 

That stuff is sick. I personally would rather die than marry my own sibling. No wonder Sam Maek wants to kill his mother. Imagine growing up with someone who's supposed to be your sister and one day your mother says "Okay you two must get married", HELL NO

Since Sam Maek is king, in a realistic story Ahro's opinion would not really matter - if the King decides he wants her, then she must go along with it. But I don't know how "realistic" the writers want the story to be. That's what I'm referring to. If Sam Maek respects her opinion, then he would be acting nicer than 99% of kings in history...lol.

 

But looking at Ahro's behavior? On the one hand, she never really liked him in that way. But on the other hand, you notice that she has been acting more submissively ever since she discovered he is the king. So I really don't know what direction the writers will choose to take with these issues. Ahro's final response to this pressure will show a lot about her personality. And let's face it, if a king asks you to be with him, he is putting pressure on you, even if he asks nicely. Ahro is usually outspoken, but she suddenly became a lot more polite to Sam Maek, meaning she is at least a bit scared of his power as King.

Sorry for double-posting 

Random AF but sometimes I get lost just staring at everyone's hair flying around 16f7cb52c2a6.gif

I love the hair. I also love everyone's hair ornaments and jewellery, ESPECIALLY the Queen's earrings. Every single pair is flawless.

Funny but I noticed the boys trying not to wet their hair extensions too much in the shower scenes.

 

Especially in E08 after Master We Hwa threw up all over their hair and faces. You would expect them to wash their hair thoroughly but everyone was trying hard not to wet it?! Did you notice? lol

I tried to like Go Ara's character so much but she's getting worse by the episode and she didn't start all that great to begin with. It's not like even the writers can't write female characters - all the others are fine (if mostly evil): the queen, the princess, the (real) sister. And that romance is so forced and strangely off putting. Maybe because they were supposed to be siblings, but I think it just doesn't fit and takes away from the series. Doesn't help that Go Ara is such a bad actress and that pouty expression for everything is getting overbearing. At least she finally put down the King so I hope there's the end of that nonsense (and it looks like it is).

 

That BTS guy acting is getting better, though. He does well in the scenes with his brother, where he actually has lines. He exaggerated too much at the start (but that could be just your standard KDrama acting) but he's much better now (when he actually has emotions to express).

 

I wonder what will happen in the next part - looks like the king finally decided he wanted to be king but now everybody thinks DogBird is the king (though he doesn't look all that thrilled about it). I hope they don't make some big switcheroo and install DogBird as a king - he makes a fine hero, but actual king is probably more suited for the role (less volatile for one thing - also, he knows how to write).

 

And I think BanRyu actually betrayed his uncle and that's why they knew the assassins are there - but that's just a guess.

I can't agree with that...sorry lol. He's awesome when he's not talking though, since he can look really pretty depening on the scene.

Making Dog-Bird the king would be a huge mistake. I don't think they will do it, otherwise why go to all the trouble of casting someone like Park Hyungshik to act so regal throughout the drama? All his regality would go to waste.

-jidwi if you're gonna expose yourself like this, you better kill him right after smh

 

 

 

Princess Sookmyung's dad is General Yisabu. Sammaekjong's dad is the previous king's younger brother, who is also his mom's uncle so he's like the nephew + grandson of the previous king.

 

Sammaekjong is gonna be king for sure because History, unless they pull a birth switch twist and Sunwoo is the real Sammaekjong.

 

 

 

Since Sam Maek is king, in a realistic story Ahro's opinion would not really matter - if the King decides he wants her, then she must go along with it. But I don't know how "realistic" the writers want the story to be. That's what I'm referring to.

this is not rly a spoiler but if the writers were to follow Silla history/customs, Ahro cannot even be Ji Dwi's concubine even if he wants it because she's not a True Bone... and I guess that's why he said he'll give up his position as king, nobody even knows his face anyway the ministers can put anyone they want on the throne and no one would know the difference (but I guess that's not where this story is going)

Do Ji Han Says Group Shower Scene Was Important In Strengthening Friendship Of “Hwarang†Actors

 
 
Do-Ji-Han-Hwarang.jpg&key=39c80994d73eb6
 
 

Actor Do Ji Han opened up about his friendship with the cast of “Hwarang†in a recent interview and said that their group shower scene really cemented their bond.

“Hwarang†is often called a drama that is pleasing to the eye by viewers as it features handsome actors like Do Ji Han, Park Seo Joon, Park Hyung Sik, SHINee’s Minho, BTS’s Kim Taehyung (V), and Jo Yoon Woo. The actors spent six months together for the drama, and have kept in touch since then.

 

What brought them together was the infamous “group shower scene.†Do Ji Han said, “Our friendship strengthened rapidly after the shower scene. We even went drinking together afterwards,†and “Don’t guys usually become closer after going to the sauna and stuff? Revealing our bodies to each other in that shower scene helped us become friends faster.â€

 

The actor also added, “We all became really close, so much so that it’s hard to single out a specific person I’ve become closest with. Everyone talks a lot in our group chatroom. It was thanks to them that I was able to overcome the summer heat last year.†He added that though everyone is quite talkative, Kim Taehyung talks the most and as the youngest, is very nice to all of them.

 

Their chatroom was lighting up right up to the moment of the interview, with the group of guys discussing a photo taken of Park Seo Joon as he headed out to L.A. for a fashion show. Do Ji Han said, “Minho just uploaded a screenshot of Park Seo Joon going to the airport and wrote ‘Wow.’ I replied with, ‘He’s so handsome and tall.’ I haven’t checked to see if he’s replied yet.â€

The actor stated that the group’s close friendship really helped the drama, as the positive energy from their friendship translated well into every scene they shot together.
