Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth

Moo Myung and Mak Moon make their way into the city, undetected, during the king's secret entrance, hoping to find Mak Moon's family. It quickly becomes clear that their search will not be an easy one.

Dog-Bird receives bad news and Wehwa agrees to form the hwarang as part of Jiso's grand plan to help ensure Silla's future.

Wehwa reviews hwarang candidates. Ahnji advises Dog-Bird to pretend to be his son and stay in the capital by taking Seon-u's name.

Ahnji faces someone from his past and A-ro teaches Seon-u the ways of the nobility so that he may join the hwarang, but trouble finds Seon-u.

A new chapter opens for Silla, still the weakest of the three kingdoms. The queen regent gets a surprise at the hwarang ceremony.

Training begins and tempers flare in the Hwarang House as the highborn sons adjust to the spartan rules and Seon-u's half-breed status creates strife.
