This Kdrama was worth it!

The cast really managed to pull off their characters, which are also very relatable. It's a break from dramas that have a certain level of cliche in the storyline. Their reactions and emotions are very realistic. I would recommend this drama if you want to watch a light-hearted drama that's warm and very straight to the point. Even if it was a mini web series, you will really be able to appreciate the effort the whole crew put into the drama. Overall, you should watch this drama <3 It's a subtle reminder that even adults don't have the answer to all the questions that younger people expect them to have.

Will be rewatching this once the third season/ second sidequel will be out

If you really want to understand this drama and if you want the continuity of the Kingdom Series, I suggest you watch Kingdom Season 1 and Kingdom: Ashin of the North first and pay attention to every little detail of the series and the movie, respectively, if you want to be amazed with Kingdom season 2. Don’t get me wrong, it’s easy to miss out on a lot of details and yet still enjoy this season and the entire Kingdom series, but if you have that OC personality and you’re the type of person who cannot sleep, knowing you don’t understand a lot of things about the drama, you have to re-watch the Season 1 and watch the movie.
I hope you find my suggestion helpful and I hope your questions will be answered- like the origins of the resurrection plant, who discovered it, what really happens to the dead and how they become zombies after putting the plant on their glabella, do all people who get bitten by the “reanimated” become zombies, what can be done if a person gets bitten by the zombies.

No doubt, this is one of the best dramas

The first time I watched this drama, I was really in awe with the plot itself. I always thought of a lot of questions after completing the first season like if it was really the Doctor who discovered the flower, where did the flower come from, what makes the dead into zombies, after putting the flower in the glabella of the deceased. I also think that that the situation portrayed in the beginning of the drama could be very much true in which the Queen and her family, who were so greedy with power would do whatever it took so they can have the kingdom in their hands. It speaks of politics, which apparently, has never changed. The situation of the people really got to me, because even now, despite a country being developed and all, there are still that portion of the population experiencing difficulties.
All in all, watching the drama was such a roller coaster of emotions. You may think you understand everything already but then another thing gets revealed and then you question yourself, if you really paid enough attention to the details of the drama. I also think that the details were very much intricate and well-planned. There are so many things that you could miss if you are not attentive enough, so I don’t recommend dividing your attention while watching this drama. It’s a drama for people who like watching dramas with horror, mystery and suspense, especially those who like watching out for the little details and connecting the dots.

The plot was generally the same, but it was also as AMAZING!

If you've seen the Chinese version of this drama, you probably can't help but compare the two versions. Needless to say, I still think that both versions have their own charm and with the different cultures, I think they have added their own kind of uniqueness for each of the version. I still think it is great how Koreans always manage to add their culture into the adaptation of dramas from other countries, like the theme song which was originally sung by Kim Jong Kook and was a hit way back in the early 2000s. This was a very light series and even though it was predictable who would end up with who, there are details that were tweaked, like how the male lead showed interest even in the first few episodes (In the Chinese version, it was only midway through the drama that they showed the male lead was interested in the female lead). I also like that they chose Kim Yo Han as the main lead because even though he is a rookie actor and maybe not as experienced as other actors on set, his effort really shows and he was able to portray the character well. I can't wait to see him grow in his future dramas!

They really outdid themselves on this one! This was a great movie

I'm not going to write about spoilers because I really watched this drama without reading or watching spoilers; and all I knew about it was the brief description about the plot, which was confusing before I watched the movie itself. I wanted to watch the movie without any prejudice The reason why I was interested was because of the trailer and the genre of the movie, which is my favorite genre. With the trailer alone, the duality of the plot and the characters were inevitable. While watching the movie, all I could say was, WOW! Thank you to the producers, the writers and the actors of this movie, because it was a great movie.

If you want a movie that's going to keep your heart racing and feel the character's pain and emotions, you better watch this great movie. I don't need to mention how great Park Shin Hye and Kim Sung Ryung are, because they have always been Queens and they have worked together in You're Beautiful and The Heirs (Both times as male lead's mother)! And, Jeon Jong Seo is a rookie actress and she pulled off her character very well.

Stellar Acting, Thrilling plot! One of the greatest dramas of this year

Story-wise, it was very unique, something that makes your mind question the possibilities of this being true in real life ; or make you confused at times what the hell is happening now? That was how I felt the whole time I was watching the drama. I have always been amazed at how these writers and directors never seem to run out of ideas and I should say, they did it again. The emotions, showed how humans react and how a simple act of kindness or rudeness towards one person can affect so many.

I really like Park Shin Hye in this action/ thriller genre because I have always watched her dramas when she was younger, and she took on a range of characters from very emotional dramas (aka Stairway to Heaven) and a lot of romantic comedies (You're Beautiful, The Heirs, Pinocchio, etc.). This drama showcased her versatility as an actress and her acting would really show years of experience and it's amazing to see her grow as an actress and taking on different roles. I'm not so familiar with Jo Seung Woo but despite that, with his acting in this drama, it shows how much effort he puts and how hard he worked to pull off his character, so I'm definitely going to look up some of his dramas. Sung Dong Il and Kim Byung Chul, just blew my mind with their acting skills. I guess it's true when they say that actors did a great job if they made you feel angry at them as well. Well, if you watched this drama, you'll probably relate to what I'm talking about.

I like the drama's OST. The vibe is new, compared to other drama's OSTs but I think the only word to describe it, is that the music production was fresh for most of the OSTs for this drama.
Overall, if you want a drama that will make you really think hard and take you to the edge of your seat all the time, you should watch this drama! If you want to cry, get mad at someone and feel so many emotions at once, you should :-)
