Review & Recap Kingdom Season 1 [Spoil]: Let’s get ready to run away from zombies in Season 2
“Kingdom is fun, you should watch it,” my friend said. While we were choosing a movie or series from Netflix to watch together for an afternoon. after lunch
“But usually we don’t watch ghost movies. Is it really that scary?” I’ve seen several examples of this series. And I really want to accept it. It’s a series that I’m very interested in watching. The only thing stuck is that I don’t watch movies or ghost dramas.
“Er…yes, forgot you saw ghosts. But this one is really fun. Take it easy. Let’s see.” All my friends know that I can see ghosts. And that’s why I don’t like watching ghost movies. Or any horror movie because I don’t want to lead the story. those pictures and sounds go to bed late at night with me
But because of the rumors about the goodness of this series. So I was brave Open this series to watch in the daytime along in case the fear is a bit less. After seeing it, let me tell you that it’s really worth the end of the lunch.
The story of Kingdom is intense, strong taste like black coffee without sugar, fragrant aroma, bitter taste, fast paced, non-stop, no mercy to the audience’s heart. In any case, whether it is the story of the ruling class A horror story of a plague that turns people into zombies. It also spits out the shameful truths of the human mind. that no matter how many eras have passed It is still true and unchanged.
Kingdom Season 1 has a total of 6 episodes, so if you have about 5 hours you can sit and watch it all in one day.
The story begins with the search for the truth of the crown prince. about his father’s illness which seems to have a mysterious and complicated mystery He was prevented by his wife from approaching his father. He set out with only one bodyguard. with the aim of discovering the truth behind his father’s ailment. but instead led to the disclosure of the epidemic. that turns people into zombies whether being bitten or eating made from meat eaten by zombies In the end, he will have to fight. escape survival both from ghosts and people which seems to be scary that there are many zombies Which will be left in the zombie apocalypse which will be betrayed No one around you can be trusted. What a lonely Crown Prince.
The zombie that scares me the most It’s this one… Honestly, the mask is actually scarier than the real zombie face…yep, the lunch will end as soon as the zombies come out.
For those who avoid watching ghost movies I want to secretly say You can see this. Definitely not going to haunt them before going to bed, even if the zombies are all wearing scary makeup. and has unnatural body movements, crunches and crunches, and runs as fast as an Olympic sprinter Rather than being afraid to not dare to move Except for those who are already afraid of zombies. There is a possibility that you will continue to run away from zombies in your dreams.
But if the girls are so proud of the crown prince that they keep it for daydreaming This is highly likely. Crown Prince Lee Chang , played by Joo Ji Hoon.The one who made girls crazy a lot from the cold prince role of Princess Hours many years ago. This time came back as a prince in the Joseon era, handsome, cool, quiet, strong, kind, compassionate, with all kinds of good qualities. which all this beauty and causing the audience to cheer until they are tired how each time the crown prince will survive Even if it’s enough to guess that the hero must stay until the end.
But, oh my god… Your father’s life is hanging by a thread, Dad. The expression and eyes that do not clearly indicate any emotion makes the viewer like me really unpredictable as to how in each episode the King will solve the situation. Must watch the whole team of casting actors that the selection of actors is very suitable for the role And the actors themselves are truly flawless.
In addition to the role of the hero who is handsome, cool, and a good person, Sri So Sun will easily sweep the hearts of viewers. The role of Dr. Seo Bi , played by Bae Doona, a world-class actor. that we are familiar with from many series and movies. It did not disappoint us at all. Doctor Seobi is kind, strong, and it seems like all zombies. will not be able to shake the doctor’s mind at all All because she saw them as patients. which she wants to study to understand Treat and prevent the spread of this terrible disease. But when it comes to protecting yourself and protecting the living She didn’t hesitate to fight the zombies in the slightest. The best of coolness!
In addition, Ryu Seung Ryong, an actor who plays Jo Hak Joo, an aristocrat with a passion for power. which is the cause of all losses be it the life of an innocent or his one and only beloved son. Despite the power over the throne can bring their own daughter to the position of consort but still unable to breathe easily because Crown Prince Lee Sang is still alive had to delay by concealing the death of the king turn him into a zombie to wait for their daughter to give birth to the crown prince successfully At the same time slander the crown prince as a rebellion. to get rid of him.
Father said he was angry The daughter was savage, not playing at all. Who will send her in so that the king who has turned into a zombie to eat every night? raising pregnant women to kill and bring their sons Because the queen was not pregnant with the crown prince in any way, even in the first part, she would not see as much cruelty as her father. but with a cold, terrifying, merciless look in his eyes and delight in his power I assumed that in the second part, her cold-bloodedness had to increase wherever she was. We would have to run away from her rather than run away from the zombies.
In addition, the details of the events are so complete. like an event that would actually happen in the human world whether during any crisis or when the country is safe which is common in the world, such as kindness, helping each other, unity, selfishness racial discrimination or even human questioning and doubt. to an event or phenomenon which he had never known before.
For example, episode 2 , while the audience like us already knew in advance. that all the bodies that the soldiers and nobles dragged out for autopsy were zombies. But they don’t know… We have to come up with a hope that they will manage to survive. And will there be any survivors?
I love the perfection of laying out events that should have happened naturally in their entirety. Whether it’s walking into a zombie that used to be loved and being bitten to death. Or lock yourself in a cell to protect yourself from zombies. But push…someone gets bitten and turns into a zombie in that prison cell. It can be said that no one is safe at all. Sending the protagonist to unsafe situations all the time. and when they are not superhuman skills This makes the series more realistic. It can easily keep the audience’s attention firmly throughout the story.
In addition to the story The pictures in this series are very beautiful. Regardless of the scene, the composition is called planning. and well thought A scene that impresses me and wants to pick up. is the scene where courtiers bring her corpse that was eaten by the king who had become a zombie bite and thrown and drowned in the beautiful garden in the palace It is a scene where the scenery is too beautiful. But behind the splendid scenery is a cemetery where the undead are kept in captivity. not to come out on a rampage It was such a heartwarming, beautiful, terrifying scene. to the purity of nature And the terror of human beings at the lack of morality makes this scene a terrifying scene. and the most persistent for me It’s not a picture of being chased by a zombie.
Another good thing that comes at the right time is the music and sound effects. that blends seamlessly into one with each scene, each episode, comes quietly and smoothly with the picture presented, not too much, not too loud, not emphasizing the audience’s frightening with the haunting sound effects but what was elaborately put down It is appropriate and promotes the image of an ongoing event. It was as if the audience had entered the scene to absorb the emotions and feelings of the characters and the story. directly through the body and mind of the audience.
I feel The use of sound effects is appropriate enough. resulting in a truly efficient viewing experience. It affects the mind of the audience even more than stimulating the audience’s emotions with horror sounds. until there is no room left for the audience to use their imagination or have a common identity in the experience of watching that movie or drama. If any horror movie or series is cool enough It doesn’t have to rely on sound to scare the audience.
All in all , Kingdom is a beautiful series that is well worth watching. This series is complete with intense content. quality actor Beautiful images and composition Although I feel that the zombies are not as scary as I thought. However, it is recommended to refrain from eating while watching. Especially in the scene where zombies appear.
I’m one of those who have been waiting for Kingdom Season 2. Don’t panic, because Season 1 doesn’t end in relief. create comfort for the audience in any way but ended up opening the issue and various doubts for the audience to win and analyze further How will the crown prince be able to cope with the war around him? Will Dr. Zawbi find a cure for this plague? And who betrayed the crown prince!
