The new KBS 2TV drama "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth" is commencing on December 19. The cast and crew are finally ready to come out as it's expected to be one of the best dramas in the second half of 2016.

One of the reasons "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth" is in the spotlight is because of the subject matter. The drama is about 'flower knights' that existed in the Seorabol 1,500 years ago. There have been appearances of these 'hwarangs' every now and then in dramas but there never was a drama dedicated entirely to it.

"The prettiest of men were chosen and made into a "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth" and the crowd gathered like clouds. Some of the occasionally researched morals, some music and they hiked mountains. They went everywhere. When they learned about the right and wrongs of character, the most righteous one was chosen and recommended".

This is how history describes the "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth". We know of some hwarangs like Kim Yoo-sin and Gwan Chang but we don't know how they came to be and how they centered the Shilla Millennium Empire. Clever imagination has been added to the story of hwarangs from 1,500 years ago.

The time when youth was the center of the world was the time when people weren't afraid to fight the world to stand up for what they believed was right and their values. That's what "Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth" is about. Their lives may mean a lot to us today.

The cast of the drama are Park Seo-joon (Moo-myeong / Seon-woo), Go Ara (Aro), ZE:A's Park Hyung-sik (Sam Maek-jong), SHINee's Choi Minho (Soo-ho), Do Ji-han (Ban-ryu), Jo Yoon-woo (Yeo Wool) and BTS V, a.k.a. Kim Tae-hyeong (Han Seong).

"Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth" is a 100% pre-produced drama and curtains open on the 19th of December.
