Kingdom was so good that it ended up with a second season, followed by a prequel. And the enthusiasm of the audience is still there.
The film tells about the origin of undead grass and the origin of zombies. The story is set in a low-status struggling tribe on the North Korean border. The original quiet and peaceful atmosphere was destroyed by the conflict between the eyeing Jurchen tribe and the arrogant North Korean officials. The village chief became the scapegoat, and the whole village was massacred.
The only survivor, the village chief's daughter, Ashin, decides to cross the river to become attached to North Korean officials, and then grow up with hatred and forbearance, waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge.
The tight plot and exciting zombie plot of the previous two seasons have turned the style in this one. The historical scroll unfolds slowly, and the fictional themes of court zombies have a profound historical background here, and there is a connection between overhead and reality.
The follow-up zombie plot is too cool, and the foreshadowing of the early revenge needs to be very deep. Although Jun Ji-hyun, who is the main actor, already has an old appearance, his expression and temperament are matched. Her eyes changed from clear water in childhood to deep serenity when she grew up. What cannot be changed is her tall and straight back and unyielding soul.
Her soul is free, and revenge depends on heaven. She wanted to use the grass of life and death to revive the clansmen, but they turned into zombies, and finally understood how the legendary effect was, and finally she chose it as a means of revenge. The grass of life and death is like a double-edged sword, it is extremely destructive, and it can hurt people and destroy itself.
Here, the seemingly weak and delicate grass and the seemingly weak and pitiful Ashin have a mirror image. They have completed the counterattack through each other and achieved destruction.
