In the released pictures, they look quite serious, but also have big grins on their faces.

They had finished reading the script two times in the beginning of March in a friendly atmosphere, and are now set to start shooting for the TV drama, according to a representative from the crew.

Set during the ancient Silla Kingdom, the historical drama focuses on the love and growth stories of Hwarang, a group of well-born young males versatile in various fields, such as martial arts, education and more.

It aims to premiere in the second half of this year.
