I was thinking of watching it.
I've watched two Korean shows (Misaeng and Solomon's Perjury) and enjoyed them both.
When I watch Korean tv, I wonder... how much of the cultural jokes, innuendoes, and messages am I missing because I'm an American?
Kingdom mixes zombie outbreak with political intrigue in winning comboWriter Kim Eun-Hee has said that he originally planned to adapt his webcomic into a "webtoon," where the crown prince would be much younger, but he seems pleased with how this fleshed-out, live-action drama turned out. The production values are stunning, bringing the historical period to life in rich detail, although doing so pushed the series well over budget and beyond the planned four-month production period. Each of the six episodes (there were originally supposed to be eight) cost roughly $1.78 million to make, according to Variety, and I think it was well worth the investment.
Plot-wise, it's a juggernaut, with plenty of sword-play, suspense, and hints of comic relief. Kingdom ends with one heck of a cliffhanger, but fortunately season 2 is already in the works, with production slated to begin next month. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to find out what happens next.
They left us on multiple cliffhangers though. Here's hoping season 2 arrives soon!
Which one was your favourite character or did you root for all of them?

Seo-bi is my favourite - she's a tough woman and a compassionate one. Also lots of common sense.
For a while she was leading them, as all the men were acting were acting goofy, especially her lover. I really hope she finds a way out from the Frozen Valley.
What lover?
The goofy city authority, who followed her into the Frozen Valley. He is wearing the blue suit in the title picture.
I thought he was just having a crush on her.
Maybe I'm expecting too much.
