Park Hyung Sik is the young King Jinheung but he goes with the name of Sam Mek Jong to gain strength and skills as a leader in the future. He is always in disguised, living out of palace and nobody has seen the real face of the King.
The only love line we get to see is the pretty Ah Ro played by Go A-Ra who is bubbly and cheerful girl who helps Mu Myeong to his new position but meanwhile Sam Mek Jong constantly pursues on her. There is SHInee's Minho playing as the playboy Su Ho who is rich and handsome. The stuckup Ban Ryu played by Do Ji Han is stern and very competitive.
During the Shilla kingdom era, Queen Dowager Ji So is very protective over her son Jinheung from potential threats and assassins. She instructed bodyguard Pa Oh to protect her son. She seeks the help from Wi Hwa Rang played by Sung Dong Il to form a group of elite bodyguards to protect the future King. Hesitant at first, however Wi Hwa Rang thinks its time for the Queen to entrust the throne to her son rather than power greedy.
Hwarang existed in the Shilla era with a bunch of energetic male warriors who not only possessed good looks but they must be skillful in martial arts, music and literacy.
Lee Kwang Soo makes a good memorable cameo appearance in Hwarang as Mu Myeong's best friend Mak Mun from the same poor village. Together the two ventured into the city meeting the most notorious bullies. However Mu Myeong always stand up for his buddies and in result Mak Mun died after trying to shield Mu Myeong from being stabbed.
I'd give it a go for this drama since I liked Seo Joon and Hyung Shik's characters.
It's interesting to see how the story unfolds for the energetic warriors not knowing among them is the young ruler of Shilla.
