Sooo...i hate saying this, because i was really looking forward to this drama, but this drama was disappointment deluxe. It sounded so promising with the casting they had for this drama. Park Seo-joon is one of my favourite actors, and Hyung-shik is a great actor, Minho is pretty good to (i'm not gonna deny the fact that i'm a Shinee fan) and Taehyung debuting as an actor made me really excited too ( I'm not gonna deny the fact that i'm a BTS fan either), and i don't have much to say about Go Ah ra's acting, because this is the first drama i've seen with her in it. I heard from others that she was a good actress though, so i'm sure she is. So basically...I was really excited about this drama. Hwarang was pretty hyped up too. I heard people talking about Hwarang as early as February/March and hyping it up like nothing else. Originally Hwarang was supposed to air in the middle of 2016, but they kept pushing the airing date behind and my initial thoughts were that it really must be great then, if the reason they were delaying the drama was that they were being precise with the filming and editing of this drama. (Because it is a beautiful drama, the colours and the lighting and the feel this drama gives of with just looking at it is really nice, and the people in this drama too, are really beautiful.) But ever since this drama started airing i've just been wondering what took them so long. If their going to delay a drama and hype it up this much, it better be good. But honestly, what even is this drama's storyline? I don't feel like there is much happening in this drama, at least nothing that makes sense to me. I've tried liking this drama, i really have. I've seen 11 episodes of it although i didn't really think it was interesting and that was to be honest just to support Taehyung and Seo-joon. Everytime i've tried watching this drama i've been so bored that i've even fallen asleep. It's so sad to see this happening. An amazing cast, gone to waste. If i'm going to say something nice about this drama, i can say that i thought the acting was really good (as expected from these actors.) The problem with this drama is purely the storyline. The casting and the music is great, it's just that the storyline (if there even is one) is so boring. I've seen some people saying that it gets better from episode 10,11,12 or something like that, but honestly...if it takes 12 episodes for a drama to become interesting...It's not worth watching, unless you're watching it to support the actors of course. (I feel like i've said the word casting and actors a lot in this review) Overall, just disappointing. Right now it's on my "on-hold" list, but i'm pretty sure i won't be finishing this drama.
