Just a little flashback for ya from the last episode, did anyone else notice that Ji Dwi snuck out, visited his mom to make a huge and powerful declaration but despite the requirement of being LOWKEY and also having to get back to Hwarang house asap, he still took the time to change clothes?
Let me know which episode has been your favourite so far! And which Hwarang you would most want to be your big brother or little brother! Personally, I pick Sun Woo because I will always pick Sun Woo the end.
During the secret entrance of the king, Moo Myung and Mak Moon manage to sneak into the city to find Mak Moon's family. However when inside the city, their search has some obstacles they need to overcome.
Mak Moon and Moo Myung are able to escape the city, but Hyun Chu manages to trace them and kills Mak Moon. Moo Myung now badly hurt is out for revenge. Queen Jiso creates a special organization called Hwarang, who will be created from handsome sons of a variety of clans.
Ahn Ji Gong requests Moo Myung to pretend to be Sun Woo for Ah Ro and the outside till he is healed up. However once he spots Hyun Chu, he endangers the entire family during one of his reckless actions.
In order to save Kim Ahn Ji, Mak Moon signs up to become a hwarang. Kim Ahn Ji requests his daughter to teach him some lessons in order to ease his life as a hwarang, but during one of those teachings he is invited to play a game of football.
When a banner within the Hwarang Estate is saying that a king is among them, the Hwarangs are speculating who it may be. Sun Woo, who is now aware of this fact, starts actively searching for this specific person. While the upcoming sparring competition is taking an unexpected turn.
Hwarang may have finished its run, but our reviewers have words for the Silla-set sageuk. Here, Leesha, Qing, Gaya, and Sarah share their thoughts on the final four episodes of Hwarang, as well as their thoughts on the show overall.
Despite all the lost potential, though, Hwarang has left me with a lot of small wonderful moments that will stay with me for a long time. Low ratings notwithstanding, it was also a sufficiently high-profile project that I hope will help the newer actors (V and Lee Da-in) or less-known but outstanding actors, like Do Ji-han, secure more solid projects in future.
Meanwhile, Ban-ryu ended up being the character to watch. His positive transformation was very well handled, especially by avoiding the cliches of changing for romantic love. His friendship with Su-ho was beautiful and I greatly appreciate that Ban-ryu was able to choose good over evil on his own terms. He did it not only because it was the right thing to do, but because he wanted to do the right thing.
Sarah: Ultimately my feeling after all is said and done is that Hwarang had so much untapped potential. From the very first episode, which started out much more light-hearted, even through the very last, the one thing that stood out was how many possibilities and questions were opened every second, for good or bad. There were so many different directions the drama could have gone in, so many plot points they could have elaborated on, and ultimately so many dropped plot threads.
I was also disappointed, as Leesha and Gaya already mentioned, in the treatment of Ah-ro in the end. She had great potential as more than just a love interest, and yet in the finale she was literally locked in a room and was not involved for the entire final battle. Even the resolution of the love triangle was half-hearted. Sure, it was satisfying on one side, but how is that there is absolutely no resolution between Ah-ro and Ji-dwi after all that.
The low ratings could be attributed to the weak storyline, where the love triangle between Ah Ro (Go Ara), Sun Woo/Moo Myung (Park Seo Joon) and Sam Maek Jong (Park Hyungsik) kept on monopolizing majority of the episodes. Fans have often commented how annoying it was to watch Ah Ro portrayed as a crybaby when her feisty character had shown so much promise at the beginning of the k-drama.
The King (Park Hyung Sik), who is currently going incognito in Hwarang, gets consumed with emotion and confronts his feelings for Aro (Go Ara) in Episode 6. The episode had been full of him witnessing the growing closeness between her and Moo Myung (Park Seo Joon), who is pretending to be her long-lost brother Sunwoo.
