Hwarang. Wow, what a satisfying ending. I looked forward to this show so much and I'm very glad that I watched it. It did struggle a bit at the beginning to find its footing, but once it did, it ran like gang busters. It also didn't help that the release was delayed and that it came up against Goblin and, to a lesser extent, Legend of the Blue Sea so that it suffered a little bit in comparison to those behemoths. The chemistry of the cast was absolutely wonderful and while the love story is central to the plot, it is not actually the main focus of the show. There's personal drama, political drama, and a good amount of good-natured humor along the way.
