The narrative, screenwriting, directing and the English voiceover is soooo bad that it is amazing me how such a bad work can be released, that too on a mega global platform like Netflix.

It's really bad!

The plot is full of holes. It's hard to understand what the intent and goal of the movie is. The character building is horrible. Totally shallow and superficial. It's not understandable. Some developments are abrupt. As if the writer took seperate passages from the book and glued it in a movie without all the transitions. I suppose the actors are ok. They had to work with a horrible script and team. It's sad they wasted such young talents. I wouldn't recommend this movie at all. Definitely not with the English voiceover. It's taped in a studio without the corresponding emotions that belong in the scenes.

Very good show! I enjoyed watching it. All the Hwarang actors, with their long shiny hair, are very easy for the eyes :) The chemistry between Park Seo-Joon and Go-Ara is very good. Their kissing scenes are fire! For the viewers that only want to follow their love story watch until episode 13 and then jump to episode 20. After episode 13 the dynamic of the show changes from fun, love story, friendships towards more serious political and kingdom subjects with more violence and intrigues.

I liked the facial expressions of Go-Ara. She is such a good and versatile actress. I don't think any other actress could have played this role better.

I really liked Park Seo-Joon role and how he shaped it so powerful.

Kim Ji-Soo played her role as the queen so convincingly. On top of that, she is a very beautiful woman. She carried her role with so much grace.

I enjoyed how Sung Dong-Il played his master role. He is so funny!! He gave the show a nice vibe.

All the Hwarang actors played their roles so beautifully. I'm so impressed with their performance. Park Hyung-sik was really sweet.

The Korean Popstars Choi Minho and Kim Taehyung are multi talented because their acting was spot on!!

The writers and director made a really good show. I enjoyed watching it. The collaboration of so many actors/ actresses is appealing. I would definitely recommend watching this show.

Concept of the story is great.

The writer should have incorporated more sharp dialogue and deeper character building.

Also 10 episodes would have been enough to tell the story. It was too stretched out in 21 episodes causing some boring and repetitive scenes.

The romance between Do Min-Joon & Cheon Song-Yi hardly progressed during the TV show. Again, the writers should have incorporated a lot more romance. The writer and director had two of the best lead actors for the show but they didn't give Jun Ji-hyen & Kim Soo-hyun the opportunity to shine in their own respective strength.

The main lead actress role was written to be silly and thoughtless. I wish the writers had moulded the script in a way that the lead female role would have been portrayed stronger.

I continued watching the show because of the excellent performance of Jun Ji-hyen, Kim Soo-hyun and all other actors. They did a marvellous job with the mediocre script they had.
