Hwarang’s beautiful warriors: Take two
by girlfriday
There, now THAT’S better.
I’d argue that it’s still too late to undo this, but hey, pretty character posters are a start. Maybe Park Seo-joon made up with his stylist and they’re having a good day. Don’t ever fight again, OKAY?!

Go Ara for me is the most beautiful S.Korean I have seen.. looks like has lost weight... less chubby face..
Ah!.. I still can't believe oppa here is YI's 'oppa' ( kill me heal me .. lol.. PSJ will forever be THAT oppa for me )
*Dear Channel,
I want to live.. I really do.
I have to get married, have kids and do a lot of things in life.
Please don't plan on giving another heartache.

I'm convinced yestesday's ridiculous poster was made by an antis. Maybe KBS anti-fan. No one in his sane mind would actually approve the poster and not laughing at the hideous hairstyles and poor photoshop.

I see they went from Tolkien's Deadly but Pretty Elves to Velvet Goldmine's Boyband Warriors to this ....
Park Seo-joon fits the warrior bill in that poster. Go Ara is so pretty, like anime character come to live. Park Hyungsik, I can't tell if you're dorky badass or doofus badass--that poster isn't helping you in the badass deathly department.
I'm super excited for this to be the drama to purge my brain of Moon Lovers : Scarlet Heart Ryeo.

Actually, most Koreans say that they like guys with monolids. The double eyelid thing usually applies as a beauty standard more for the women.

I like their natural eyes. But what's with the puffy under-eyelid trend? Park Hyung Shik in particular looks like he cried himself to sleep before someone dragged him in for the photoshoot.
Everything else looks fabulous, though. I hope these posters are more representative of the drama than that last one.

yeah, why not?
LJK has sharp feature but it looks sick and too thin,
then if you put some weight , he'll be like in my girl era which ia puffy and overall the balance is not there
sorry for not be his fans in the website that full of his fans that adores him as the god,
not a fan of psj either ( to avoid fanwar )

However, LJK not only is extraordinary beautiful, he is also a phenomenal actor. Very few people in dramaland can claim those two superpowers!
Actually, for me is only LJK who can claim that, but I've been biased since 2006 XD. Im committed and my devotion is strong and loyal till the end of time XD

Could it be the poor guy had to juggle between filming this drama and acting in a musical? ("The Three Musketeers" 10+ performances) He does look tired on this poster and the weird editing of this picture sure doesn't help...but I happened to stumble upon Hwarang's making of (and some other pics) and he looks totally fine on there. I blame the editing team for this pictorial.

I can't judge this as a KBS fusion sageuk because it's not produce entirely by KBS but Oh! Boy. I'm surprise that it's not on tvN.
Overseeing this drama is Jung Hae Ryong, a KBS director/producer with sageuk experience like Kang Byung Taek (Moonlight) so there is hope that it's not going to be a total disaster.
Moonlight on the hand had me rooting for it because of the adorable and talented leads. I don't see anyone in this lineup that makes me want to root for it.

Isn't weird that I'm not so excited abt fluffy, lighthearted (saeguk) dramas atm cos of ML? Like I can't be relaxed here knowing that So is all by himself there. I love PSJ & really waited for this drama actually, but then it was delayed & i was hooked by that sad, lone Wolf. I wanna cry with him a bit more. You can wait for me a little longer, right Seo Joon-ah?

These are beautiful. Those lips!
However, the hair is sadly the same in both posters. This poster was just better done and had a better angle so you can't see his hair as well.
I think we will be disappointed with his hair once the show actually airs.

it's weird for me that people scarred because of moon lovers to this drama,
I mean, it's pre-produced, what can we do?
with different stories, director, actor and network,
there's nothing that resembles each other than it's pre-produced,
if the opening episodes are good then it's good,
we just need to see it,

I really don't know how this whole flower boy and warrior idea is going to work. Some how I imagine it would be like having One Direction as G.I Joes ....
If they historically do exist, I wonder if is just because the men uses make up like Gil Tae Mi in Six Flying Dragons.
