Kingdom

For a korean zombie plot, this was decent, with good production quality. Season 2 dropped recently. Anyone else gave this a try?

It's what the later seasons of got should have been. The ending was a bit cheesy but gotta set up a franchise I guess.

It's really good, and I barely like anything anymore.

Its good, I just wish I understood why everybody kept offering to kill themselves for minor infractions. Hard to figure out what the actual stakes for getting caught doing something wrong were.

The "zombies" are actually different enough and there is a political plot which separates it from standard zombieshit.

S2 wasn't as good. I guess because they changed directors.

Its the only movie i've ever seen that tried to do a realistic portrayal of what the political response to a zombie outbreak would be. I guess setting it in a medeival period helped it avoid the preconception of zombie outbreak=failed martial law and generic breakdown of law and order.

does this have anything to do with the manga called kingdom

This show is pretty trash when you stop pretending everything korean is good.

nothing

It at least has a coherent plot with characters that have discernible motivations, making it superior to 90% of the trash that is produced nowadays.

I was surprised that they wrapped up the succession plot si fast and the way they did considering they're clearly planning for more seasons. Hopefully that means they have a tight grasp on where to go. Also

>that battle on the ice
That was what GOT should have done

Liked it a lot. Those last 20 minutes and the impending S3 could very well ruin it.

Kingdom? More like kinogdom

Agree, I wish they had spent a season or more episodes showing them suppressing the zombies instead

That may be what the whole next season is about.

>what if we made got+twd but right: the show
It's pretty good, i'm missing this show already, too bad we won't get shit anytime soon because of corona.

checked.

first season was fine, enjoyed it a lot

second season was a huge letdown after the first few episodes, and the more i watched it, the more i hated it. it became more of a korean soap opera than a zombie show

my boy

The second season is more focused on political warfare, i understand people disliking the middle of the season but the finale was a masterpiece

>This show is pretty trash when you stop pretending everything korean is good.

No. I very well know that almost everything Korean is horrible. That doesn't mean that the good stuff isn't good. Kingdom is better than 99% of everything else on Netflix.

I have really difficulties watching this Korean "acting" where the characters take several minutes reacting to an impending threat.

A horde of zombies is running towards them and they just stand there and look at them for what feels like an eternity.
Also half of the conflicts happen because none of the characters dares to speak up and everyone is behaving so weirdly and stupid all the time, which i don't know if this is just an asian thing or why, but it's ruining my immersion.

Many korean crime movies have the same issue and it's just pissing me off.

1st place at the Special Olympics is still 1st place.

Who caused all the shit by cooking the dead body

quads confirm, Kingdom is Kino

I meant, they said through voiceover the threat was contained. I would rather have watched them contain said threat than to be told "it was contained. Oh but its rising up again"

*leaps at you*

>Also half of the conflicts happen because none of the characters dares to speak up and everyone is behaving so weirdly and stupid all the time, which i don't know if this is just an asian thing or why, but it's ruining my immersion.

Give me an example. The backstabber didnt speak up because he was blackmailed. The officials barely had the courage to talk for fear if getting killed for treason. There's no subplot that was caused by a misunderstanding, unless you think the doctor not saying "this guy died by being bitten by a zombie, please no cook" counts as one

>Korean
>Netflix
"No!"

I liked it, but I'll be honest. Outside of the main trio I kept getting characters confused because there were so many old men with the exact same beard and clothes. Like I usually don't have trouble telling Asian people apart but damn.

It's based on a korean webcomic. They are literaly just following the story (mostly)

>korean
>netflix
>zombie
Any one of these is a sure sign it’s absolute shit, shill

I have trouble telling asians apart. I only managed to recognize the buffoon character because his antics were so different from the rest. The prince and sniper were the only younger ones and the traitor was always near the prince us how I managed to do it

Can you give spoilers to the next plot then, or direct ke to where I can find them?

This show absolutely fucked. We really didn't deserve it. My only gripe is how the head chancellor was brought back and then dies the very next episode. The queen really wasn't as viscous as her father was in the least. Still, undoubtedly kino.

no but you can watch the live action movie

If you watch the movie Rampant, you'll see that Kingdom actually used the exact same movie set as Rampant made. Both are about zombies too, which is funny. I bet that after Kingdom's first season released, Rampant started filming and due to how popular Kingdom was they decided to just re-use the set right after the first crew bounced.

>The queen really wasn't as viscous as her father was in the least.
What. She had babies and women killed, killed her father, set loose zombies because "if I cant have it noone can" and was it just me or did they imply she was fucking her brother? Anyway, she was as bad as the father, just didn't have as much power

Comedy is on point tho
It's a better than average zombie story like train to busan. Im still on season 1 but i hope it stays good.

Queen was a flat out psychopath. The Chancellor had a set of principals he went by.

>Comedy is on point tho
I liked it but not the comedy, the cowardly governor grated on my nerves

I usually don't like K dramas (my mom does though)
Is this one worth watching?

the queen is jofrey in fem korean

Depends on what you dislike on k dramas. This has no romance, if that helps, but it does include the whole culture of kowtowing if you so much as look at the king since it's set in ancient korea

>0 sex scenes
>0 romance subplots

Is Kingdom, dare I say it? Based?

>no romance
I suppose that's a huge improvement.
It's usually the cheesiness and the overblown drama that puts me off.

Maybe viscous wasn't the right word. She just didn't seem imposing with her attitude, schemes, and execution. Her father did.

The magistrate tried to get romantic with the nurse in season one. I'm glad it didn't pan out to anything though. Kingdom set a very good tone and pace with it.

Since the plot is "a zombie plague us spreading" I dont think the drama was overblown since stakes were high. It has its cheese here and there, especially with comedy but the main thing is fighting zombies, followed by a fight for the throne that caused the plague in the first place. But not in the "let's create a zombie army to grab the throne" way, I really liked how they used the zombie mechanisms as a succession tool

>That fucking ending

This is pretty much korean anime.

I was expecting him to get her after some plot of finally growing some balls and saving her. Was pleasantly surprised that didnt happen

I love how the nurse in her account of the plague even glosses over the fact that he was the one that caused it. Also, how never throughout the story does it show that he has any remorse or guilt for what happened. Heck, he argues the nurse when she firsts confronts him about why the fuck you'd cook a body that's been dead for several days.

I mean, people do be hungry. How was he supposed to know that they'd turn into zombies? Sure he caused it, but I wouldn't really fault the guy. Besides, at least he went out of his way to help as much as he could.

Yeah, I expected him near the end to admit he's going all this because of his guilt. Instead its muh revenge and muh honorable prince

I supposed he isnt nice enough to admit to it and the nurse is to kin and too focused on healing to go around blaming him.

But still. Fucked the people treating him, fuced almost the entire nation. Gets away with it and even cozies up to royalty

this guy is the best character comedic gold

aaaaaaaaa i hated that guy

why he cant fucking die

The duality of man, but one is right because he got dubs.

the plot is too slow

She couldn't be, she had near zero actual authority till she shat a royal heir out.

try not to be so obvious m8

2 seasons which only have 6 episodes each. I didn’t mind the length but I feel that if they tightened up some plot threads then the two seasons could have just been an 9 or 10 episode season.

Can’t wait to see where they’ll go next season though.

I didn't like the cinematography of the second season as much as the first but everyhting else was better

I assume that's going to be the main drama of the new senpai/kohai relationship they are setting up between him and the crown prince.
