I finished watching it 3 days ago, I guess it's time to write a review. My first one ever if I may add (english isn't my first language).
It took me a while to start watching the drama. There was a period of time when everyone on insta talked about this and so did my sister, but it didn't seem interesting to me.
I'm not gonna lie the main reason, why I finally watched it was Taehyung, because I started to stan BTS lol.

The main couple:
I actually don't know what to say. Park Seo-joon is a great actor and he played Seon-us emotions very well! I enjoyed seeing him on screen. His character was interesting to explore, but at the end his only character trait was "protecting the girl", that was...annoying.

.....I don't like her. I can't tell exactly what it is, but she made me aggressive. Go Ara is in general not a bad actress (I suppose), but after some time I got so annoyed just by seeing her.
She cried every fricking episode and got kidnapped like 4 times, no joke. I hated seeing her cry, and her face expression in general made me angry.....sorry I can't tell you why.

Together as a couple I didn't hate them....the whole brother sister thing was fine I guess, they just knew they weren't related right?...

The king:
I don't know how I feel about the character. He has luje absolutely no personality, his only personality trait is......Ah-ro. I mostly felt sorry for him tho with his mom and all that. I understand he didn't want anyone to get hurt, but the whole drama about him not revealing himself took soooo long. I liked how he told Ah-ro from the beginning that he liked her and I'm sorry he didn't get a girl....he got the throne tho.

Hwarangs:
Okay.....I LOVE YOU GUYS SO FRICKING MUCH!!!!! They are the best part of this whole show.
Not gonna lie I totally shipped Soo-ho and Ban-ryu, the chemistry they had omg. I love how their relationship changed through the show and how they slowly became friends.

I'm super in love with Ban-ryu and Soo-yeon though. THEY WERE ADORABLE. And them making out *chefs kiss*, it was perfect and seemed super natural, I swear. She is so cute and he was that cold boy who got so soft, when he saw her. Would totally rewatch just to see their scenes.

And now....Han-sung, my poor baby. I can't say much. I just love him to death (f***) and I fricking bawled my eyes out in episode 18. He's so pure, innocent and sweet. He was such a great friend and how happy he was when Seon-u told him, he would walk with him, I'm crying just by thinking about it. He was so bright, but had so much on his plate, I'm just- he didn't deserve it. And they got over him so fast like....I was still recovering and they already moved in, like bruh stop.

His and Yeo-wools friendship was super cute! I'm glad he had someone, when everyone else wasn't with him.
I loved Yeo-wool just for beeing himself. He was so funny and really he was a mood! I love how everytime he just stood there and watched the fight.


In conclusion, I would rewatch because if all the side characters and their relations. I didn't like the love triangle....much. It annoyed me and I got excited everytime one if the hwarangs blessed my screen again.
I'm happy I watched it.
