Analysis of Doubtful Points in the Plot of the First Season of the Kingdom

Needless to say any praise, bugs also exist, but they can be basically ignored. Now let’s analyze the details left by the screenwriter of the first season of the show and speculate on the doubts.

First, we want to talk about the evolution of zombies.

Zombies should be divided into primary zombies and evolution zombies.

The junior zombies are the king and 500 villagers who resisted the Japanese pirates three years ago. The characteristic is that the dead or the living are turned into highly aggressive bloodthirsty monsters by means of life and death grass and needles. After being bitten by these monsters, they will not become zombies or corpses very slowly.

Why do you say that? First, Dan and other court ladies who were bitten by the king did not quickly become zombies. Doctor Li also said that Dan was no different from a dead person after being bitten. Second, the zombies in a small medical hall can cause such an outbreak. Why didn't they make any mistakes when fighting against Japanese pirates? It shows that the Japanese pirates were only dead after being bitten, and there was no corpse. This also explains why Doctor Li was so surprised after seeing the evolutionary zombies in the medical hall.

The evolution of zombies is the evolution of living people after being infected by the virus on the bitten person. The most direct way is to eat the human flesh of the bitten person. People who have been bitten by evolutionary zombies will also become zombies.

Doctor Li was able to escape for so long after being bitten, and he could still leave a few words, but the corpse of the bitten person was obviously faster. Then it can be roughly inferred that as the number of times the virus spreads, the speed of autopsy becomes faster.

***

Okay, let's sort out the timeline below.

Three years ago, when Dr. Lee was treating leprosy patients in Sangju, he discovered that the grass of life and death can bring people back to life, but it is bloodthirsty and very aggressive. After Master An Hyun knew about this, in order to defend against the Japanese pirates, he used this method to corpse 500 people and repel the Japanese pirates. Because this was the first-generation zombies, it did not cause the epidemic to spread, and An Xuan’s family servant knew that the zombies appeared at night and came out at night, and they were going to be on the head.

After the anti-Japanese war was over, I guessed that Doctor Li used a few remaining primary zombies for research and treatment. However, the anti-Japanese incident still leaked the news, and Master Zhao learned about it, and Master Zhao used this to coerce An Xuan into hermit. Does An Hyun also have an adulterer of Mr. Zhao?

So, where can we see coercion? First of all, Hanyang Confucian student was killed, An Hyun did not show up, not in line with An Hyun's personality, unless it was coerced. Secondly, a secret letter from the chief of the Invaders to An Hyun, asking An Hyun to imprison the son. If there is no threat, then the secret letter should be my secret that I already know, so you have to cooperate. But the secret letter An Hyun was shown to the son, and the tone was very arrogant, and it was completely certain that An Hyun would cooperate, so I think Master Zhao threatened An Hyun three years ago.

Three years ago, after the incident was leaked, Dr. Li’s research was forced to suspend, and he went to another Donglai frozen valley where there was life and death grass. Someone here asked, hasn’t Shu Fei found Donglai’s frozen valley? I guess the life and death grass there has been taken away by Doctor Li, and the life and death grass he used on Wang was from Donglai Frozen Valley. And it is very likely that there are some semi-finished antidote in the Donglai Medical Museum, so he took the pill back to the hospital and thought he could cure the pill.

In Doctor Li’s experiment, I guess there is progress. One or two people have restored their sanity and will not attack humans at will, but they retain some of the attributes of zombies, such as eating animal flesh, fearing heat, and looking hideous. After these people escaped She lives in seclusion in the frozen valley of Sangju. When Shu Fei was in the frozen valley in Sangju, Zhao Xiaoguan (sorry for forgetting his position) said that the frozen valley is often haunted by ghosts, and that human life utensils were found in the frozen valley, and there was a lens dazzling a figure, guessing that it is half cured Of primary zombies. These people carry primary antibodies, and they are very likely not to be attacked by zombies, which will become the key to resisting the epidemic.

On the other hand, Mr. Zhao of Hanyang is also conducting zombie experiments. He has discovered the infection mechanism of zombies and should also be able to discover the fatal weakness of zombies. Most importantly, he discovered that zombies are not afraid of light but heat. How could he find out? Quite simply, Hanyang was in the north, and it was colder than Sangju, so he found out in advance.

The zombie antidote is very likely to be developed by Shu Fei through the semi-cured zombies and the prescription or semi-finished antidote left by Doctor Li in Donglai.

***

Who is the rape?

I personally guess that it is the guardian of the son.

I think that the guardian of his wife did go by himself, not by being arrested. The guard knew that he had left with the son, and his family was very likely to be taken hostage to hide his wife in the displaced pregnant women, because no one knew the true purpose of this shelter for pregnant women except the nave.

But he was still threatened.

The person who threatened him was most likely to be the son of Mr. Zhao who had escaped from the warehouse of the hospital, including the head of Mr. Zhao's son. It should have been this person who sneaked back and stole it. He also threatened the guard at this time. The guard is not sure whether his wife will be discovered, and he must still have family members, so he is still a little frightened in his heart.

He selectively disclosed the story of his son to Mrs. Zhao, and kept trying to transfer the conflict to Yongxin. He heard others say that he had offended Mrs. Zhao and his family would be affected and uneasy.

The end of the guardian of the son is likely to die in order to protect the son.

Yongxin, from Leprosy Village three years ago, participated in the Tiger Catch Army. He learned that the whole village was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War. He believed that An Xuan had used the villagers, but it is not clear that the villagers were turned into zombie weapons. In order to find the truth, or with a slight expectation of his brother's survival, he flees from the tiger-catching army by feigning death and deliberately approaches Doctor Li. Maybe the half-healed person in the frozen valley in Shangju is his younger brother.

Follow-up plot guess:

Shu Fei kept looking for an antidote. The escort wife gave birth and was sent to the palace, but the wife escaped, and the conspiracy of subcontracting was finally exposed.

An Hyun chose the son, but what happened three years ago will be exposed. Yongxin will choose between the Shangju faction and the Hanyang faction, and finally choose to follow the son.

There are zombies in the south of Shangju, and Lord Zhao in the north, and there are internal traitors inside, which are precarious, and the resources in the city are in short supply and internal fighting.

Seiko discovers An Hyun's secret, discovers the guard's betrayal, and starts to doubt life.

***

The biggest contradiction in this play is the confrontation of two values:

When facing a disaster, should we sacrifice a small number of people in order to protect most people?

1. Resolutely abandon the faction: In the dialogue between Zhongdian and Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao resolutely gave up Sangju and the southern region for power.

2. There is a choice to give up the faction: An Hyun sacrificed 500 people to fight against the Japanese for North Korea.

3. Resolutely never give up the faction: When saving the villagers, Shi Zi said that he was different from them, and he could not give up anyone. Even though Sangju could not afford these refugees, he still insisted on opening the gate.

Shi Zi’s values ​​will inevitably be challenged as the situation worsens. Will he stick to his original aspirations?

We will wait and see for the second season~

    This is the sense of cinema! The first two episodes are parallel, and you can see it all at once. The atmosphere is also very good, and the photography is very good. There are several climaxes in the episode. What's even more difficult is that the cards in the hand are collections that are too old but can still be photographed with new ideas, thanks to the small size of the historical background. The resistance film is wrapped in a zombie theme, a very appetizing snack. Except that the fifth episode of Manawash is too much and naive, the others are really explosive and good-looking, and there are still some holes that are not filled. For me, it must be funny than stimulating. Love Cold Weapon, looking forward to the second season!
