If you like Zombies, this is definitely a must-watch.
I watched the whole thing in a day because it's short. However, I took several breaks to text people back or watch Youtube videos. That would not have happened if it had REALLY captured me. I like the idea of Zombies in the Joseon era, and the production is great, the cinematography beautiful, the acting good. There were definitely some really suspenseful scenes where I barely dared to breathe. But there was not really anything that touched me.
I don't feel like I got to know the characters at all, so I did not get attached to them - not even to the Crown Prince. The only character I enjoyed a bit more was the guard played by Kim Sang Ho, whom I've adored since "City Hunter".
Furthermore, I think a better OST would have greatly improved my emotional investment. Am I gonna watch season 2? Yes. But is "Kingdom" gonna be on my all-time-favorite Drama list? No.
