I saw the cast and I understood how it became popular. What I am the most concerned about is actually the plot because personally for me, if it's not that good and unoriginal, I would drop it. If there are interesting characters and interesting relationships between the characters, it would actually help me to continue to watch it. So do you still suggest me to watch or not? (thanks for your response btw)
Plot will seem interesting only at the beginning but, that usual queen crown prince and kingdom conflicts. Nothing usual. Personally, I'm not a fan of love triangles and here two of well known faces were involved in a futile useless love triangle which also I found hard to digest.
Female lead was good, not much annoying. But those pretty faces in the drama, tbh that were not required at all. That made my opinion totally biased. Hwarang itself means pretty faces maybe, but I remember I dropped the drama in between because of some boring unnecessary conflicts.
But its just my opinion, so if you'd just read other people's reviews also and then consider your decision, maybe you'd like watching it.
I've always found underrated dramas more loveable than famous ones. My taste is always satisfied by watching those kdramas which are hidden gem and give me something to learn also. I've dropped many famous dramas, with few really good exceptions, but all in all, famous dramas most of the times, from my long kdramas watching experience, have something going wrong with them from the start which always made me lose interest, and so I didn't understand the real reason why audience even watches kdrama when they don't even want good plots to watch.
They only want to watch pretty handsome faces.
Sorry, if I came off as rude because that's just my frustration speaking, since not many kdramas with good plot come anymore.
