Kingdom

Kingdom


Cast ; Ju Ji-hoon and Bae Doona

Storyline : The deceased king rises and a mysterious plague begins to spread; the prince must face a new breed of enemies to unveil the evil scheme and save his people.

The first few episodes is on the slow side. They were in full on set up mode and were working to build up the tension for what has to come.But once the zombies come out in full force, the pacing definitely picks up with more action included.


Aside from simply surviving the zombies, there is a pretty nice story in place concerning the conspiracy around the zombie king. Though 'Kingdom' is not really up to the mark, it’s still a solid drama, and there were things to enjoy.


Every review talks about Kingdom being a zombie show. But what’s intriguing is that the zombie virus is joined with the Crown Prince’s desire to stay alive, despite being an outcast from his own kingdom and knowing that his stepmother is after him in order to install her own child on the throne. So the show is working at two levels, and it’s damn effective. Who will get the Crown Prince first, the zombies or the kingdom? And what will he do when he finds out the truth?

My rating is 7.5/10

Each and every family will make you fall in love with them, despise them and empathize with them.

Kill Me, Heal Me Cast : Ji sung and Hwang Jung-eum Storyline : Cha Do-hyun, a businessman with dissociative identity disorder, tries to regain control over his life with the help of Oh Ri-jin, a first-year psychiatric resident who treats him in  secret. If you’re a psychological thriller show lover then go for this one, you won’t regret.  Each and every episode has its own twist and turns. The layers of secrets along with his (Mr. Cha Do  Yun) damaged memories that trauma in the past caused him. They showed everything so perfectly.  Jisung is really talented at embodying around 7 different personalities. Hwang  Jung‑eum is adorable and she is such a good lead. Did I forget to mention that Jisung is literal eye-candy goddamit.  Plus, it’s one of those dramas, that isn’t just romantic. I love the suspense, that hooks you, till the end of the last episode. Also, that soundtrack!! I love it. And it always plays at the right  moment. And Shin Se Ki. I love t
