I think it's very good and worth seeing. The TV series "Kingdom" jointly launched by Netflix and South Korea (also known as "Lee's Death in Korea") was broadcast on the Internet and received favorable comments. Douban and IMDB score 8+. This is not the first time Netflix has expanded its overseas cooperation. From fireworks in Japan to drug lords in South America to the kingdom of South Korea, the localization of new TV series is the strategic feature of Netflix, so this time Netflix aimed at the mix of zombies and courts.

What if The Walking Dead and Nirvana in Fire were made into one drama? Maybe it's like a kingdom. The Kingdom tells the story of the Korean dynasty in the16th century. Wang Shizi and Li Cang wanted to see the king who was ill in bed for more than 10 days, but they were always stopped by people headed by Princess Zhao. In order to find out the truth about his father's illness, Li Cang traveled incognito to find the doctor who treated the king at that time, but unexpectedly found that the plague was spreading on a large scale. As long as people are infected with the plague, they will come back from the dead and become bloodthirsty zombies. In the process of Li Cang's investigation and leading the local people to fight against zombies, he and the whole country are also in crisis.

The director and screenwriter of Kingdom are Sung hoon Kim in Tunnel and Jin Yinji in Signal respectively. The story is a typical two-line parallel mode. On the one hand, it is the grave defense and the action route of Prince Shizi leading the people to upgrade the fight against monsters, on the other hand, it is the court political struggle around Prince Shizi and the Zhao family. These two lines are the hottest topics at present, but it is not easy to combine them boldly and seamlessly.

Zombies are native Asian creatures, while zombies come from popular cultures in Europe and America, and often appear in the future world overhead in settings. Whether I am a Legend, The Walking Dead or Resident Evil series, zombies are often associated with the future, eschatology and science fiction. How to make zombies appear in the Korean dynasty in the16th century is a big problem that writers need to solve urgently. Different from the explanation of virus infection or biochemical pollution in European and American movies, the zombies in Kingdom are actually the product of power struggle. Zhao Haiyuan is a powerful consort family, who has long coveted state power. In order to make Princess Zhao's unborn son ascend to the throne, he spared no expense to bring the king back to life, just to turn him into a walking corpse and eat human flesh for a living.
