Story Background: Set in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), also known as Lee's Korea, it was the last unified feudal dynasty in the history of the Korean peninsula . The specific time should be during the Wanli Korean War (1592-1598), but Through the analysis of the episodes, the episodes should draw on the history of multiple periods of the dynasty, not just limited to a certain period.
Dictatorship of foreign relatives: Personally, I think it should be borrowed from the Phongyang Zhao clan during the period of Queen Shenzhen and Queen Mingcheng, and the time should be after 1800. An Xuan can also refer to An Jiyong, An Jishou and other An's figures in the same period of history, and has close ties with the foreign relatives group.
Public information: pathogens are related to life and death grass; corpses can be infected by ingesting pathogens or being bitten by pathogens; pathogens are affected by temperature; pathogens are afraid of water and fire; pathogens may be related to Shouwang Village and the battle three years ago. ; Zhao Xuezhu, Anxuan, and Li Chengxi all participated in the pathogenic incident; the empress of the middle hall was a fake pregnancy, and the pregnant women were raised to give birth to their children.
General plot : Wang Jia died, and his relative Zhao, in order to gain power, passed the virus that he mastered three years ago and "resurrected" Wang, causing the doctor's disciple to be bitten; after the body was transported back to the hospital, it was cooked by the hungry crowd, causing When the plague broke out, Zhao's princess sat under the curtain and closed the gates in relevant areas to prevent the spread of corpses. The first season is over.
Plot BUG: The little brother talked to the doctor girl. From dawn to dark, the outside was already slaughtered, and there was no response; the doctor girl went to the grove alone at night to dig for medicinal herbs, and at least one man was there. Accompany me, it’s almost dead; in the first scene, the little brother did not ignite the arquebus when he used the arquebus to shoot directly; the zombies surrounded the medical hall, there was no arhat to climb over the wall, and when the doctor girl was eaten in the first scene, the arhat was clearly stacked high; The speed of change is too different, some change in seconds, and the doctor can explain to the doctor and then change again; the method of killing zombies is a bit vague, there is no doubt about beheading, but when you go to the back and cut the throat, the knife is inserted into the throat, It's a bit too fake, and I personally feel that the definition is too vague. Destroying the brain and cutting the throat, slashing the head and puncturing the brain are completely two concepts; although there are many bugs, in general, The logic is okay, it is not impossible to explain at all, and some have also explained.
Plot prediction: The leaker around the prince can basically be confirmed to be the guard, who was threatened by Zhao with his wife's life, and An Xuan is also suspected of provoking discord. After all, he has never told the truth to the prince, and he is deeply involved in the source of the corpse transformation; the guard's wife later The princess should be exposed, but she should hang up, and then the guards swear their allegiance to the prince; Zhao's father and daughter should have a certain struggle, and the princess doesn't want to be a puppet without rights; An Xuan will have many reversals of good and evil. Two-faced people between the princes; in the end, the prince and the plague may be saved by the king, and the Li Shi Dynasty will be achieved.
Episode quality: The plot is a bit procrastinated, and the rhythm is a bit slow to be honest. At the end of the first season, there is no real hearty battle or a small climax of the plot. Most of them are small-scale slapsticks, almost all in the To pave the way for the next season, and then a single episode is 55 minutes long. The beginning and ending are really long. I feel that the average length of a single episode is only about 40 minutes, which seriously affects the quality of the episode. It is like watching a movie. The 2-hour dull movie is completely different from the 6-episode quality of "Blood Gangster". This is the most unsatisfactory part of the show in my opinion. It seems to be made purely for the sequel. The last season of the next season is a good show, but as the entire first season, it is obviously lacking in sincerity.
Conclusion: Why is the first season only given to Samsung? Although "Kingdom" has created a precedent for ancient zombie movies (Chinese zombie movies are another matter), there have been many zombie movies and American dramas with good reputation in recent years. Personally, I think this movie It feels average to me, there is no bright spot, and many settings are similar to other similar zombie films; the narrative technique is too bland, basically it is flat and straightforward, there is not much suspense, almost all are expected or described through flashback memories , the essence seems to be placed on the trailer, lacking the brilliance. What I may think is not bad is that, unlike conventional zombie movies, which are mainly thrillers, this drama has added a lot of comedy elements. Furthermore, combined with the real North Korea under the historical background of "Kingdom", the number plate system, class system, people Cannibalism incidents and political struggles also exposed the corruption, indifference, selfishness and other dark sides of the ruling class nakedly, bloody and direct, all disasters originate from power, wars, zombies, plagues... These kinds of things are just to gain power. There is no class in the eyes of zombies, and zombies in the eyes of power. There is no difference between humans and monsters. As long as they can gain power, they can be sacrificed and used. There are many social and political metaphors, which are remarkable, but combined with the performance of the whole season, the whole drama is always paving the way for the next season, making the first season seem calm, plus the quality of the single episode is slightly watery, the first season It ended hastily. As an independent drama, it lacks sincerity and is full of regrets.
