I’m really thankful to Kim Eun-hee and the Kingdom team for creating this gem.
I never imagined that a K-drama would merge my past and present horror tastes together. And that’s assuming you even know what’s happening because it’s not uncommon for strange sicknesses to sweep over the land every now and then. If you’re trapped, you’ll have to find a way out yourself. Kingdom’s setting takes away that 0.001% gripe I have about zombie stories because here there are no machine guns to take down a mob of zombies and no radios to request helicopters to airlift you to safety. But despite zombie fiction being one of my favorite genres, I’m still skeptical how these shuffling corpses can overpower modern civilizations when we have deadly, accurate weapons and almost-instant communication to fight them back. Maybe that’s why I turned to post-apocalyptic fiction in adulthood. Kingdom: I grew up on a diet of folk/horror stories and loved(?) that helplessness that comes with having so few resources at hand when the monsters come.
What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in… 288 JanuJanuTeam Dramabeans: What we’re watching by DB Staff
