Expected more.

I went into the series expecting a historical drama about the Hwarang with a great plot, character development, plot twists, drama and history. I didn’t see any trailers, poster and all that so I went in blind. What I got was poor writing, no chemistry between the OTP, lot’s of silly over the top crying shots and characters behaving in a way that didn’t make sense foe their character.

Despite all this I really liked and enjoyed most of the actors their acting!

I loved Park SeoJoon in what’s wrong with secretary kim and she was pretty. I also loved Park HyungSik in strong woman do bong soon! Seo YaeJi was BRILLIANT in it’s okay to not be okay. I want to see more of Kim Jisoo, Minho and V!

I loved the setting, decor, clothing and hair. It all looked very beautiful, especially the Queens garments.

I also had hoped to see more of certain characters and their development. I loved seeing the relationship between the Queen and King Jinheung, I really hoped for a bit more there. Same goes between the bromance between the Hwarang and how they grew together as men. But too much time was wasted on the OTP being unnatural, too many silly crying scenes, no character growth for the female lead. The female lead really made me so frustrated most of the time. I skipped A LOT of those kind of scenes. I feel a little bad for Go Ara…

This could have been so much more. Guess I have to go find another historical/period drama to enjoy more.
