Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth

Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth (2016) — Historical K-Drama, 20 episodes.

Set in the ancient Silla Kingdom (57 BC – AD 935), the drama centers on an elite corps of young male warriors known as the Hwarang — handpicked by the Queen Regent to consolidate royal power against scheming nobles. Among them is Moo-myung (Dog-Bird), a low-born young man who assumes a dead friend's identity and rises through the ranks, unaware of his own mysterious origins. Alongside him are a hidden king living in disguise and a cast of fiercely loyal warriors who discover passion, brotherhood, and love amid the turbulent politics of the Silla court. Hwarang is notable for featuring not one but three K-Pop idols in its main cast simultaneously — V of BTS, Park Hyung-sik of ZE:A, and Choi Min-ho of SHINee
