So many known people were acting in this show so I was excited to watch it. It wasn't as good as I had thought it would be but it wasn't that bad.

The bromance throughout the whole show was amazing and was the main thing they kept me from dropping it. I loved the character development and how every Hwarang became close with each other. It was just amazing and I love all their relationships. I do wish that some plots were explained/resolved better. The show introduced many side characters' issues but didn't properly resolve them so it just left me with questions at the end.

Now, one of the worst parts of the show: the female lead. Oh my gosh, the amount of times I had to pause watching cause I got annoyed with her. First of all, she's popular in town because she tells "erotic stories"... not to judge but that's kind of embarrassing during a time like that. (It's fine to tell those stories but being known around town as mainly that as your identity is kind of weird.) Second of all, in most of the episodes she's in, girl starts crying out of nowhere. Like ma'am why are you always crying. I'm fine with emotional characters but she cried in half her scenes so I started getting irritated. Plus, she always had to be saved by the ML or the second male lead. To me, she didn't have almost any of the personalities I look forward to seeing in a female lead.
