The carefree flower warriors of Hwarang
by girlfriday
Ummmmm… I don’t think so. This is not the image I was waiting half a year to see! When I hear “drama about beautiful Silla warriors,” I expect to see epic badassery, not poorly photoshopped puppies frolicking in the garden. Surely they can do better than this, right? Here’s the first poster for KBS’s upcoming youth sageuk Hwarang (which has dropped “The Beginning” from its title), the fully pre-produced drama that’s finally going to get its premiere in mid-December, after five months of delays.
The drama takes us 1,500 years in the past to the formation of Silla’s Hwarang warriors, military groups historically known for their beautiful knights. They’re the original flower boys, and the drama will tell the story of their bromance and coming-of-age. Park Seo-joon (She Was Pretty) leads the cast in his first sageuk, and I was actually looking forward to his mane of glory after the first peek at him in costume, but now I’m rethinking the whole thing. Is his stylist on this show an anti-fan? It’s really the only way to explain this poster.
Park Seo-joon stars as a young man who overcomes his low birth to become a legendary Hwarang warrior. He’s brave and dogged, and a carefree spirit who lives by the motto “you only live once.” Go Ara (You’re All Surrounded) plays the girl he starts out wanting to protect, which turns to love. She’s half-commoner, half-royal by birth, and she has a cheerful energy and a frank personality.
Park Hyung-shik (High Society) is King Jinheung, who ruled Silla from 540 to 576 A.D., and spent years as a faceless king because of multiple threats to his life. He’s a prickly, lonely young man who doesn’t trust anyone, but when he takes on a secret identity and becomes a member of the Hwarang warriors, he’ll transform into a strong leader. At least Park Hyung-shik looks pretty in the poster, though I don’t know if I like the way he and Park Seo-joon have their swords drawn at each other, since they’re due to become rivals in love.
The other flower boy warriors include Min-ho (Because It’s the First Time) as a hot-blooded aristocrat, thought to be a playboy by everyone when he’s actually very devoted in love. Do Ji-han (Basketball), who’s standing behind Park Hyung-shik in the poster, is the cold-blooded ambitious one with a mind for politics. Bringing up the rear are Jo Yoon-woo (I Order You), the mysterious one with a sharp tongue, and maknae V of Bangtan Boys (BTS) riding piggyback.
PD Yoon Sung-shik of Gaksital and King’s Face is at the helm, and writing is Park Eun-young of KBS drama specials Our Slightly Risqué Relationship and Young Deok Women’s Wrestling Team. Maybe I just need to adjust my expectations for something light and fun. I can do that for Silla F6, right?
Hwarang follows Monday-Tuesday drama The Man Living in Our House and premieres December 19.

I think KBS is trying to copy their recent hit (Moonlight) with this poster. But cute, light and fluffy doesn't suit the premise of this drama. Moonlight was about heart-fluttering first love, this is about an elite group of (pretty) warriors.

I think Hwarang would be better in terms of storyline and theme. Scarlet Heart has too many princes wanting to kill each other for the throne that made it too complicated. And also prince and princess who want to have each other romantically 'cause marrying a half-sister is not a crime for them.

The more I look at it the more I feel like the two at the front are holding hands and the others are prancing after them in the garden.

this look is very far from the one portrayed in QSD, personally i prefer QSD's Hwarangs in terms of get up but let's see if this drama will be good hehe. it's too flowery and it feels like they banked too much on 'flower looks'. They look like boys and ive always thought Hwarangs were men. i love sageuk so i really hope this wont disappoint in terms of plot and acting
i still remember the portrayal in queen seon deok, theyre my favorite part of the show.

here i googled it for u
The Hwarang, or "Flowering Knights", were an elite group of male youth in Silla, an ancient Korean kingdom that lasted until the 10th century.
some of the notable ones are alcheon and yushin which were also from QSD :)

So I guess maybe their names are "flowering" knights so they have to be "flowerly".....haha, they are elite in terms of skills but maybe not their looks (based on this poster) ??

The first time I heard about the drama title, my mind went straight to QSD's hwarang. I thought I would be able to watch another cool Silla's warrior after 7 years.
Their first poster was alright, but this poster is just ridiculous. They are nowhere near the manly Hwarang in QSD and it's a huge let down for me..

Park Seo Joo doesn't fit in the image at all. His face is so modern that I can't see him in a historical set up. I think first teasers were better though. They looked like warrior and boorish, now they look like flower maids from goryeo :S. The two in the back most definitely look female-ish..no doubt.

I am a BTS stan and I don't like this. . But most BTS fans are really young teens so they might not have done the research on the context of this drama and were just happy that their homeboy was getting some recognition and shared it. ARMY is everywhere. Heh. Even though I was looking forward to this drama, I wanted it to be more manly. Like the hwarangs are in qsd. This actually feels like a still from Bangtan Bomb. BTS does a lot of skits and stuff and this fits right in there. Like it's a parody of a saeguk and not the actual thing.

Now it will become a problem if the drama is more angsty and serious in tone. I don't want princess, but I do want bromance and growing up type of drama.

Yes, I agree with you. While the poster is just fine, idk what people were expecting since this is the fourth installment of the Flower Boy (or was it Oh Boy) series, and we've seen how those dramas went. That's why I'm not expecting a serious sageuk, just your typical flower boy drama but set in the Silla Dynasty. So the poster isn't really surprising to me. I'll be surprised if it turns out to have a darker tone.

ack, i really, REALLY liked the premise/plot for moorim. the idea of a fantasy martial arts school with deep secrets really piqued my interest. sort of like a hogwarts, and dude i'd still give EVERYTHING to attend hogwarts if it existed.
but it was so badly directed, acted, and executed! all the martial arts stuff ended up looking corny, the actors were awkward, and it was just a pity. it could have been the next addictive school drama, but was far from it.
or maybe it could have been a sitcom? korea needs a new addictive sitcom!

it looks like a kpop girl group album cover. kinda reminds me of gfriend's album cover—which i only know because it pops up on my iphone whenever i play that one song of theirs i have in my music library.
but seriously i LOLed so hard at the poster.
kwak dong-yeon's look from moonlight drawn by clouds is still strong upon my memory. i've yet to finish that drama, but i admired his look there from the get-go. never have i seen a korean actor look so good, so stunning in joseon warrior/bodyguard garb and with a glory mane. he was actually breathtaking for me. if i were a teenage girl, i probably would have gone head over heels.
but i'm more grown up now, and i find that i'm not not nearly as easily impressed by good looking actors as i used to be in my teens. even in my early college years. i'm so much more jaded. ha!
anyway so i think of kwak, and then i look at hwarang's poster, and it makes me chuckle.

I could feel the interest being sucked out of me the moment I lay my eyes on that poster.
Welp. Hopefully this is a case where the poster isn't actually representative of the drama.

Ohh, Do Ji-han! Basketball was infuriating, but I really loved him. Been wondering when he'd turn up again. He has a blindingly beautiful smile, too.

Even though I’ve only watched one sageuk this year (Scarlet Heart), it has been tiring. BUT I cannot miss out on Hwarang. I’ve been looking forward to it since Park Seo Joon’s casting news. I’m really excited for him. I think the story could be better too.
The poster is super pretty and flowery fosho. I don't hate it, but I wish it was cooler. I wanted to see the guys be badass-looking. They can be beautiful and manly. xD
PSJ's hair looks awful though. :(

Park seo joon's philosophy- you only live once so why not try looking ugly and influence others also.?
Afterall yolo!

SAVE ME FROM MY MISERY. HELP ME UNSEE THIS.
Seriously, they should learn a thing or two from the people who did the Joseon gunman posters. Bet I can do something better than this.

Gonna stay for this, the poster is bad but that team behind are just really good,
if saeguk this year teaches me anything, it's not to hope based on the poster.
Execution can chanhe whole lot of things

Eh, I think it's kinda cute, aside from the mess on top of Seo Joon's head. The poster means nothing to me in terms of the potential quality of the drama. Most drama posters are terrible anyway.
I'm still looking forward to it.

Posters and trailers say nothing until you actually watch the show.
Seen plenty of gorgeous posters for shows that have completely bombed. Case in point: Moon Lovers

Agree.Still pump up for this drama! Yeah, even this underwhelming poster hasn't deterred me one bit from watching it (though I'm more excited with Hyungsik's other drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon) And like someone said above, most posters are terrible anyway...It's Gaksital's (one of my all time favs) PD-nim who is directed this+Hyungsik, I can't possibly miss this drama.

I don't want to sound mean
However , I laugh so hard at this poster because of its absurdity.
The stylist is indeed a anti-fan. I will put my expectation to zero now.
Poor my puppies T.T
Have been forever for the drama comeback of Seojunnie T.T
