A representative of 'Hwarang's production staff relayed, "In two separate script reading sessions, the staff, actors, and actresses were able to grasp one another's teamwork and synergy. Everyone was so immersed in the lines, including episodes surpassing just plain humor or seriousness and various scenes of give and take, so much that the 4-hour script reading session felt like nothing. We'll create a brilliant story of youth love and growth." 

The staff and crew have also recently begun filming for the drama, with the premiere being scheduled for the latter half of 2016. Keep an eye out for historical drama 'Hwarang'!
