Plot of Hwarang TV Show

The TV show Hwarang unfolds in the Silla Kingdom, where Queen Jiso serves as the regent following the demise of her father, King Beopheung. To safeguard her young son, Sammaekjong, from enemies and assassins, she keeps his identity hidden. However, as Sammaekjong reaches adulthood, there is mounting pressure from the citizens, officials, and even the young King himself for Queen Jiso to relinquish her power. Despite this, Queen Jiso remains apprehensive about the consequences of ceding the throne, as influential nobles continue to harbour ambitions of seizing power. In a bold move to diminish the nobles' influence, Queen Jiso devises a plan to establish a new elite group called the Hwarang. The purpose of this group is to transcend the existing power factions and ensure the protection of her son and the throne. As the Hwarang, a collection of talented young men, come together, they embark on a transformative journey of camaraderie and personal growth.

The plot of Hwarang centres around the bond that develops among these young warriors as they navigate the intricate web of palace politics, friendship, and love. Amidst their personal challenges and individual quests, they must also confront the underlying tensions within the kingdom and the constant threat posed by the nobles who seek to undermine the throne.
