Hwarang: The Poet

Warrior Youth is a South
Korean television series
starring Park Seo-joon, Go
A-ra, and Park Hyung-sik.
It evolves around an elite
group of young men called
"Hwarang" who discover
their passions, love and
friendship in the turmoil
of the Silla Kingdom (57
BC–AD 935).
 Jisu has ruled the Kingdom of Silla as regent since
King Beopheung died, keeping her young son
Sammaekjong hidden outside of the capital Seorabeol
and safe from enemies and assassins. As
Sammaekjong comes of age, nobles, citizens, officials
and Sammaekjong himself have all grown impatient
for her to cede power. However the powerful nobles
that tried to usurp power in the Kingdom continue to
eye the throne and Ji-so fears the consequences of
her ceding it.
 In order to break the power of the nobles, who have
grown accustomed to their privileges under the bone
rank system, Jiso plans to create a new elite, the
Hwarang, that will cut across the existing power
factions, and to bind them to Sammaekjong and the
throne. As this new elite of male youths bond and
grow[13] they are unaware that within their number is
their future king, Sammaekjong, and Kim Sun-woo, a
commoner with a secret even he is not aware of.
