When the trailer for this Korean Zombie Horror TV series dropped, it immediately got my attention. And I must say with very good reason.
The show has a very unique look and setting. It's placed in Korea, in a Samurai-like date and looks very well so in terms of clothing, costumes, houses and basically culture.
The interesting thing about it is that I have rarely seen this type of "old era" horror and it is refreshing to see a "zombie" apocalypse settled in remote, rather then nowadays.
The first episode offered some horrifying imagery (I suggest you to NOT eat while watching) and disturbing moments. It is definitely no "easy" show to swallow.
The only things that bothered me a bit was that I couldn't always tell one character from the other and therefore was confused sometimes. Hopefully this will be no problem in the following episodes when I get used to certain characters.
Otherwise this is a promising pilot that makes me hope we're going to see another 5 unique, dark, violent and disturbing episodes of Kingdom.
