The drama is notorious for its AllStarCast, which includes Park Seo-joon as Dog-Bird, Park Hyung-sik as King Jinheung, Music/{{Shinee}} member Minho and Music/{{BTS}} member V, with the latter providing the theme song "Even if I Die, It's You" along with fellow BTS member Jin. However, the series failed to live up to commercial expectations.

!''Hwarang'' provides examples of the following tropes:


Added DiffLines:

* ChivalrousPervert: It's been stated that Sooho has seduced pretty much all the girls in town except for Aro and, well, his sister.
* TheCutie: Hansung. The youngest, he's innocent, wide-eyed and only interested in the arts, and he only joins the Hwarang because of family pressures.
* GildedCage: Much to his displeasure, Jinheung spent the majority of his life hidden from the world by his mother to protect him from potential usurpers, and is under constant vigilance. He infiltrates the Hwarang and puts himself in a position that forces his mother to let him stay there, all so she can see he can make decisions on his own.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Banryu is presented as an elitist snob who only wants the throne, but he really is just a young man who is an increasingly reluctant tool for his father's political ends.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveTriangle: Both Dog-Bird and Jidwi are in love with Aro.


Added DiffLines:

* MySisterIsOffLimits: Sooho reacts... less than kindly to his sister falling in love with his rival Banryu.
* PluckyGirl: Aro.
* {{Revenge}}: Dog-Bird is driven by his motivation to avenge his best friend, who was murdered by one of the king's underlings.
