Shoot! I watched it on Viki - I know you can do a monthly subscription there if you don’t want to commit for a whole year.

I believe Netflix has “Live Up to Your Name” which is also good - but time travels between Joseon & current time.

If you get Viki, “Our Blooming Youth” is great - set in Joseon era, but it focuses on a mystery. And then there’s “Hwarang”! Search #OurBloomingYouth & #Hwarang here for more info.

Throughout ancient Korea's history Buddhist monks were a particularly important element of state and religious affairs. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/971/famous-buddhist-monks-of-ancient-korea/ #History #Buddhism #Hwarang #Korea

YES!! I savored every minute of Hwarang!! And there’s nothing wrong with a Wooga Squad quest. I will even listen to rap for Peakboy!

I wasn’t thrilled with her at first either, but she grew on me.

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.

I got involved with watching reactions videos to #OnTheStreet and so it was too late for #Lego making. Basically #Jin & #V are ready to go with their microphones #ItsDefinitelyYou and we may be stuck at this #Hwarang stage for a few days... Esp given I finished #TheFabulous #kdrama & of course #JinnysKitchen to watch... #BusyBangtan

Buddhism, in Korean Bulgyo, was introduced by monks who visited and studied in China and then brought back various Buddhist sects during the Three Kingdoms period. It became the official state religion in all Three Kingdoms and subsequent dynasties, with monks often holding important advisory roles in governments. Korean Buddhism came to be much more inclusive than in other cultures with signif...https://www.worldhistory.org/article/973/buddhism-in-ancient-korea/ #Buddhism #Hwarang #Hyangga #History

I see a lot of similarities between Park Seo-jun's Seoroyi character in #ItaewonClass and his DogBird character in #Hwarang. A charismatic leader who gains followers by being trustworthy and having a solid core belief in his people. It is borderline cult-like?

I heard he will be in the 2023 #Marvel movie. I really hope his crossover into American media goes well for him. He is obviously a very dedicated and talented actor. He deserves good things.

OK, I really enjoyed the #kdrama #Hwarang more than I expected. I loved the push and pull friendship of the two male leads. I did NOT know how it was going to end. It was funny and endearing and suspenseful.

Minor quibbles:
1) For all the fights Dog-Bird got into, it never showed on his face. But it showed on OTHER people who were in the same punching match.
2) a person who tried to kill another person shouldn't be called a "good person" at the end of the show

#Hwarang
I stopped it too , don't even remember why. It is my 10 min. rule: I am in it, or not. Except Gumiho 🙂
The dramas mentioned sofar, QueenSeonduk, DongYi, JewelinthePalace: Only 10 seconds .
Coffee Prince and Secret Garden too !

@Hanktank Same thing happened for #Hwarang. I didn’t *hate* it, but I just didn’t jive with it. I felt I was just not their intended audience.

But I ended up embracing the Baz Luhrman-iness of it all! #kDrama

List of #kdramas I've seen so far. I'm a bit of a list freak lol I basically wrote out who caught my eye in what drama and then colour coded it based on what else I watched because of them. #Vincenzo was my starting point of kdramas, I also watched #Hwarang because of #Taehyung because of course 😂

I also have a list of dramas recommended so this will definitely be getting longer.
