The COVID-19 pandemic has lead to lots more Netflix and chilling but I’ve actually been busier than ever remote working because now I don’t even have the separation between work and home ha. I’ve only watched one episode of the cracktastic Tiger King and didn’t even remember to watch zombie K-drama Kingdom 2 until I saw an interview with Samuel … Continue reading →

Woo hoo, the zombies are coming back a month from now. Streaming service Netflix announced today that zombie K-drama Kingdom will premiere its second season next month on March 13th.

Sorry this post is a few months late but I didn’t have the chance to watch it in the Japan theaters and only caught it last week on a long trans-Pacific flight but holy schmoly was it hella entertaining.

The undead are still roaming Joseon Korea at the end of the first season of Netflix K-drama Kingdom, and in fact are getting closer to a widespread attack. The short six-episodes was an appetizer masquerading as a full season, and the corrupt powers that tried to resurrect a dead king to use as a puppet inadvertently creating patient zero of … Continue reading →
Netflix premiered the 6-episode K-drama Kingdom this past weekend and I devoured it much like the zombie hordes in the story. It was riveting and fast-paced, and the short 6-episodes flew by ending with a helluva cliffhanger. Thankfully the second season has been green lit with screenwriter Kim Eun Hee also of Signal fame having finished her scripts already in … Continue reading →
I thought I would be all zombie-d out by now with a surfeit of zombie shows from Hollywood to Asia but it appears I have the appetite for one more, namely the upcoming Netflix 8-episode drama Kingdom. Adapted from a manhwa by the screenwriter Kim Eun Hee of Signal, 3 Days, and Sign, the story revolves around Joo Ji Hoon‘s … Continue reading →
The second to arrive on the Joseon zombie genre has a middle height hurdle to vault to be the better of the two, and honestly I think it will based on the production scope. Netflix drama Kingdom will air in January 2019, a few months after the K-movie Rampant (Outbreak) with Hyun Bin and Jang Dong Gun dealt with the same … Continue reading →

Score for the team of Joo Ji Hoon, Bae Doo Na, and Ryu Seung Ryong, and especially for screenwriter Kim Eun Hee who … Continue reading →
The bad news keeps on coming from K-drama production sets in the last month. There was the critical ladder fall accident in December of a crew member for Hwayugi who was hospitalized and suffered paralysis of the lower half. Now there is news that a 33 year old crew member on the set of pre-produced zombie sageuk drama Kingdom has … Continue reading →
The casting trading card game is moving fast with this one, which makes sense as filming is scheduled to commence in early October. A day after news that Song Joong Ki has ultimately passed on headlining screenwriter Kim Eun Hee‘s next drama Kingdom, a new leading man has been found in Joo Ji Hoon. He’s been primarily doing movies for … Continue reading →
