Hwarang was the first Korean drama I ever finished and I always recommend it to people as a first watch. It is a mixture of all the good stuff, comedy, historical fiction, romance and action. I originally wanted to watch the drama due to the actor, Kim Taehyung in it as I am a fan of his band, BTS, however, I have rewatched the show three times now since 2020 and as much as I love Tae's scenes, the drama is so much more than that.

This drama made me fall in love with the historical drama genre. The costumes, set, storyline and history just completely captivated me! I fell so in love with the time period and plot that after the first time I finished the show I researched more into the time period and "Hwarang". I love that they decided to take a piece of Korean history and adapt it into a drama!

The next best thing for me about Hwarang is the plot and characters. I find that in Korean dramas the plot is quite predictable. This isn't the case in Hwarang! Each episode felt too short even though they were definitely not! I cried and laughed along with the show. My second time watching I introduced my mum to K-dramas. She really loved it! This drama is great for a large range of people as the plot is so unique and diverse!

Something else that is definitely worth mentioning is the soundtrack, I ove, love, loved it! I am huge fan of all things music and the soundtrack is amazing!
