Kingdom Episode 2 Reactions
I do not associate Korea with horror, but Kingdom is actually doing a pretty good job of being spooky. I also really like how people have to describe the zombies. Seeing as the story occurs in a time and place where the word "zombie" doesn't exist, I find it interesting how people have to describe the concept of a zombie to one another from scratch. I'm not sure if the living dead play any part in Korean folklore, so I don't know how the linguistic choices fit into the wider subject of monsters in Korean folklore.Props to the writer for making the Crown Prince not entirely infallible; he doesn't always win in a sword fight, he gets scared, and he has some pretty distinct personality flaws. I appreciate characters that are not just one-note archetypes.I love the Prince's guard/assistant fellow. He's fun.Bae Doo Na is bae.I am definitely glad that this first season is only 6 episodes long. I really don't think there's enough story here for too much more (though I did see that a second season is on the way).
