Cuddles and fights in Hwarang’s lighthearted second teaser
by girlfriday
Every time I see new promo material for KBS’s youth sageuk Hwarang, it switches gears on me—the posters seemed light and fluffy, the first teaser seemed earnest and at least trying to be serious, and the second teaser is totally goofy and slapstick. I wasn’t quite expecting this kind of humor, but at least now we know what to expect of the show? I’m definitely retuning my expectations after this latest teaser, because Hwarang looks like it’s planning to be a light campus romp, closer to Weightlifting Fairy than Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo or Moonlight Drawn By Clouds.
The coming-of-age story is set 1500 years in the past, and tells the story of Silla’s elite, beautiful warriors, known as Hwarang. Park Seo-joon (She Was Pretty) stars as a young man who rises above his low birth to become one of the elite Hwarang, and Park Hyung-shik (High Society) is a young king who hides his identity and becomes a warrior due to threats on his life. Go Ara (You’re All Surrounded) is the woman they’ll both love, who is half-royal, half-commoner by birth, and Min-ho (Because It’s the First Time), Do Ji-han (Basketball), Jo Yoon-woo (I Order You), and V of Bangtan Boys co-star as the rest of the Hwarang crew.
The teaser opens as Go Ara arrives in the compound where the Hwarang boys are trained, and gapes at the scene before her. The caption tells us: “The rude youths who are going to change the world are coming!” One of the boys announces that the hell gates of Hwarang are finally open, and we see them brawling, fighting during sporting matches, cuddling with Park Seo-joon, and… breaking out into dance? What…?
It’s total chaos, and their teacher Sung Dong-il seems to be driven crazy by their antics, though he busts out some dance moves of his own when they aren’t watching. Park Seo-joon says in voiceover, “Is there no law in this place?” while cheeky Park Hyung-shik says, “We’re going to have some fun.” The fun and the fights, I get—they are hot-blooded young warriors in training, after all. But what I don’t understand is Go Ara’s horrified reaction to walking in on the boys’ shower. Does not compute.
I wonder if it’s going to be funny or just end up a hodgepodge, but either way, I hope you’re in for some flower boy hijinks, because that’s definitely what we’re getting. Hwarang airs Monday-Tuesday following The Man Living in Our House, and premieres December 19.

Though I don't want another Moon Lovers (no one can survive that angst twice) I would be happy if they get closer to Moonlight Drawn By clouds' style of humor. I liked the cute but still not over the top humor that MDBC had. Also I enjoyed the angsty parts because they made me cry but not want to jump off a bridge like Moon Lovers' angst did.
In regards to this teaser, I am crossing my fingers and hoping for a mix of the parts I loved of MDBC and maybe something on the Style of Sungkyunkwan Scandal hijinks?
I just cannot over the hair though. If anything I'll be laughing because of that ?

Ever since the poster was released, i knew then this would not be your father's sageuk. So I was quite shocked by the reactions of so many here in DB. It also did not help that the poster was released after Moon Lovers just finished.
And as far as I know this was produced by the team of Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Shut Up Flower Boy Band, and Flower Boy Next Door. So that alone says this will be light.
Looking forward to this one. Bromance and all.

Exactly. Even before the teasers and posters were released, it was clearly said that its gonna another drama under the Oh Boy series. So like SUFBB, FBRS etc but set in Silla times. And now seeing the teasers remind me of the previous installments. That's why I didn't understand why people here were so confused by the teaser and posters. I was actually disappointed by people's reactions to it, some even commented about the actors smiling lol. It seemed like they were picking on every little tiny thing to criticize it. Anyway I was very excited for the drama because I had been waiting a long time to see PSJ back on screen. Now my excitement is more since it'll be airing very soon. Hopefully the drama goes well.

I'm not surprised at the lightheartedness. I want it to be fun and light, and I fully expect it to be. So far most of the promo materials reflect that. It's just that everything looks so tacky. Hwarang's advertising lacks the finesse Moonlight's ads had (Boombastic dancing and all). I hope for everyone's sakes that the show is better than the promos suggest.

That's what I was thinking. Hwarang was always meant to be the light-hearted comedy drama. The team said so from the start. So I was surprised too.
I think people are reacting this way because of the first posters released in April which were dark and kinda angsty. Another reason could be people trying to have minimum expectations after the disaster that was ML.

Well now I'm confused. I think this is a missed opportunity. They're boys trained to fight and become sort of the king's army right? There's no way real army in the past or even now has that kind of light hearted atmksphere like Weightlifting Fairy. There is friendship and camaraderie, sure. But that's formed under hard training, pressure and hardship. Or maybe I was wrong? That's not what Hwarang is?
I don't know, maybe the PD want to show the difference between these carefree boys in the beginning and their character changes after presented with crisis later. But I think that's too unrealistic.

I think we don't know for sure,
the description is just told that the story is about their journey and at one point they are all boys,
I don't want to sound defensive but then I think we need to watch the episode before making some format trajectory of what the drama should present
I do hiking quite a lot and the most dependable out of my experience to find a way and tracking the map most often the funniest and the silly one because they know how to blend with others,
I just want to said that people do changes depends on the circumstances

You've clearly never spent any time around the current US military lol. If you want some crazy, silly stories go ask a sailor. Or better yet go ask someone for basic training stories. And nobody pulls pranks like a soldier deployed to the sandbox. Warriors have extremely high stress jobs. Being silly, playing pranks, cracking jokes, and just laughing are all effective ways to manage that stress. As a bonus it also promotes team building. Win/win

Looks like a water system…not a shower perhaps but if constructed with bamboos….you could make some sort of system to funnel water over head. Not very complicated and if these are supposed to be some of the brightest men working for the king - I'd assume they figured it out for themselves and put it together.

Oh god that is so good,
the shower scene with them not facing each other is just good,
not because of them but because that clearly happens in places full of boys,
and I do really like that they can pass as others in disguised if they are styled similarly,
they are in a military academy and they are boys,
it feels carefree despite how their bruises and punch seems to be personal,

The amount of hate this drama is getting even before it airs is ludicrous *sigh* Anyway, that second teaser somehow confirms they're aiming for something light-hearted not some dark/heavy stuff...it has a screwball comedy feel to it, I definitely like it. Hope Hwarang will do well if only for Hyungsik and Park Seo Joon's sake. As for me, I'll be tuning in for sure.

Let's agree to disagree then...first episode hasn't even aired for God's sake, yet there's tons of negative comments nitpicking on every little details. Why the hate? The snarky comments? Fact is people don't even want to give this drama a chance. Why? I suspect it has to do with the casting of so many idols (3 out of 6 actors), some people are wary/iffy about them because they tend to think idols suck at acting (it's far from the truth though, some are even better than so-called real actors...Jin Se Yeon, Oh Ji ho, Song Seung Heon anyone?)
Acting-wise, Shinee's Minho is the one I'm most concerned about because let's face it, he's the one lacking the most and the weakest link imo (maybe he will prove me wrong with this project, I still have hope). V's BTS, I'll hold my judgement on him until I see him in action since it's his first acting gig and lastly Hyungsik has proven countless times he can act, even knetz have praised him in the past and knowing how hard it is be acknowledged by them (especially for idols), it's quite the achievement if you ask me.
That's why I have every right to question the reason behind the harsh treatment this drama is getting (I'm not the only one to ask myself this question) ...you call it difference of opinions, fine, for me it's unwarranted hate/criticism. No hard feelings though.

Okay here is some historical context for people who seem like they are not to familiar about Hwarang. Firstly, their name literally translates to Flower Boys. They are depicted as wearing fine clothing and an array of cosmetics (hence first poster) and can be considered even a social group. The function and creation of Hwarang was for the military but they had other functions in religion, education and etc. So yes, these men are warriors but they are also expected to be proficient in singing, poetry and the arts. It would be politically incorrect to think of these men as just soldiers because in reality, you can think of them as being trained in all facets to hold different governmental positions. Many famous historical figures have originated from Hwarang descent.
So I'm gonna take these previews with a grain of salt but they look cute so far (a lil cheesy). Coming from the producers of the flower boy series, I'm sure it'll be a cute ride with lots of bromance.

They are warrior heavy in Hwarang Segi (authenticity still in question) and very vague with their roles in Samguk Sagi (the original historical records).
I agree with the present historians that not all of them were warriors.
The trend these days is dress-up sageuks. Kind of look like a sageuk but it's not a sageuk.

Idk....I'm a bit half and half with this drama so far. Kind of sucky timing with moon lovers just finishing. It was just so pretty and serious lol. I can see where the comparisons come up. However, I always try to give a drama a fair chance, because sometimes they do surprise you. I try not to look at ratings or reviews because sometimes I just like it regardless. I think people are also like this because of all of the idols. Hyunsik, works sometimes and doesn't others for me. Minho, I mean I love Shinee, but I haven't really loved anything of his so far. Now V, is totally green so I'm saving my judgements for him until it's over. Long story short, let's just see how it goes.
But seriously though,
Fingers crossed........and toes too. >.<

I think the critisim for hwarang is a little bit overdo, yes the hair little bit weird, the slapstick comedy kind of forced.
I just think maybe cause our heart still have not prepared to welcome it, because before it there is two saeguk dramas that have already stolen our attention, the kind of dark battle of the throne and the light youth classic romance. So our expectation kind of doesn't quietly match with this new thing.
I'll try to not pay attention and keep my expectation low, moreover this drama is produced by flower boy sequel company

IU was just amazing in "You're the best, Lee Soon-shin". This drama made fall in love with her. She had an amazing chemistry with Lee Jang-woo, second lead syndrome all over the place.
DO from EXO - he was lovely in "It's okay, that's love" and KILLED in "Hello Monster".

None of the idols you mentionned are in this drama and we've all seen IU's bad performance in Moon Lovers Although I'll admit she wasn't the worst actress I've ever seen. Minho is mediocre and we don't know what V is capable of. With that in mind I've never thought that this drama would be serious considering 2 out of the 6 main actors are novices (read amateurs). Can't comment on PHS I've never seen him act. With that in mind it would've been a very big risk to take for the people in charge. I think it was best for them to make this drama light and fun (it seems like that anyway with this teaser).
Ps: I will gladly admit that I'm biased again idols who act - the good ones are the exception not the rule imo

I am so used to serious saeguks that this teaser kinda threw me off. It looks cheesy and fun rather than serious and dramatic. I did not know the production team behind it created the flower boy serious, but after hearing that, this tone does not surprise me as much. However, I was kinda looking forward to seeing Taehyung (V) act in a serious role - not that he can't excell in comedies. Still looking forward to this show, all be it with adjusted expectations. I love PSJ and V!!! BTS fighting.

It's starting to get annoying how people keep putting this drama down. Lots of people are expecting much more from this drama than it was ever clearing going to give. It was said from the start that it was a youth drama and so far that's what it looks like.
It looks cheesy, fun, silly, and lighthearted and I'm personally looking forward to it. I don't like most serious, political sageuks anyway. There's been so many sageuks this year and none of them have been fun, so this'll hopefully be something light I can watch. I hope the show does well, despite all the negativity before it airs.

Well said! I wholly agree with your comment. I'm also fed up with the constant negativity surrounding this drama. I'm also looking forward to this drama. I need some light-hearted stuff sometimes and this one seems to be exactly what I'm looking for (especially for Christmas holiday season). Just like I said before, give me fluff, eye candies and a decent plot and I'm in for the ride.

Huh. Well, I'm pretty sure I'll watch anything to see and hear Park Seo Joon, even a drama that looks sure to win the Wigs of Shame award for all time.
But seeing this and the prior promo materials, now I know the Hwarang drama I WANT to see stars PSJ and PHS with the Gong Yoo from the beginning of the Goblin preview. Dark!Swords!Blood!Action! Oh baby!

Everytime something new gets released I get more excited I love these type of dramas with a lighthearted feel and just looking at the scenes I know I'm going to laugh my head off. And the ost sounds so cheerful! I'm so happy that Taehyung and Jin got a chance to sing in this. Go Ara looks stunning as always I've only seen her in reply 1994 so I'm excited to see how she acts here.

What??? Taehyung and Jin feature on the OST??? OMG. I can't wait. I think I may be more excited by this news than the actual drama. Hahaha.

I think I'm just gonna watch this show for the bromance and laughs. I need a fun, breezy watch and if there is gonna be some angst here and there, I don't mind so much. XD So much pretty.

At least we know what to expect! I figured it would be more lighthearted. I'm looking forward to it personally. I'm glad it's nothing like Scarlet Heart. Hopefully it's not a critical and ratings bomb though.

Moonlight's OST album is great too. And it also did well in charts.

Yeah, Moonlight's OST is killer. I especially love Beige's humming version of Because I Miss You, Ben's Misty Road and Sung Si-kyung's Fondly Goodbye.

It looks fun, I'm looking forward to it!
Why is everyone here being negative about this drama when it hasn't even aired yet? What did I miss?
The drama is clearly meant to be light-hearted coming from the Flower Boy series team, so I'm not sure why people are comparing it to ML...?

The teaser looks fun!
I wonder how Yoona would react to seeing her oppa (and several other good looking oppas) looking this good here.

1. Did they have showers in Korea 1500 years ago?!
2. Looks like Sung Dung-Il might finally have some decent teeth in a Sageuk setting!
