After watching this show I had this feeling I had already seen the drama before in the last couple episodes...and I think it is just because I have seen so many Sageuk dramas...and it is your typical fight for the throne. I am a fool for the repetitive birth story plot lines though so I loved that part. The romance was blah I had no interest in the romance at all and didn't feel chemistry with either PSJ or PHS. Which made it hard for me to have any feelings around the plot pieces where they were doing stuff because of her. She cries to much and I felt they gave her the skills to be a useful character but just threw around here and there when they needed her as a plot device. Now getting to the Bromance! That is what made this show enjoyable. I love all the boys in the Hwarang. My favorites are Ban Ryu and Soo Ho. I personally believe I would have loved the show 500,000 times more if they were the leads. Loved their plot. I loved the other room mate too but can't remember his character name.

While the overall drama (minus the bromance) was pretty meh to me I really feel the cast all did a great job, I feel it was the story itself that ruined the romance and not the acting.

The music is great and I can see myself looking to go back and listen to some of the songs.

I don't think I will ever rewatch this drama.

I think this is a great introduction drama to Sageuks as it is "fun", has good music, a great cast and is only 20 episodes long.
