My first dive into Korean zombies

I'm normally not one to watch anything related to zombies, mostly because it's usually the same thing over and over. When I first heard about this drama, it piqued my interest. Mainly because I love K-dramas and historical K-Dramas. No other zombie show or movie I've seen has done this. Usually all western zombie shows and movies are done in the present day, whereas this one is in ancient times technology hasn't advanced, there's less guns, and it makes me wonder what a period zombie show would be like.

The characters are interesting. I don't know who to trust or who's good and who isn't. The Crown Prince is someone who I fear for. I always worry he's gonna die if not at the hands of the zombies, then at the hands of the Cho clan. He's trying to do the right thing while keeping himself and the people alive. While I don't agree with certain things he's done, he's still trying to stay alive.

I also like the zombie origin in this: they come back to life from the essence of a plant. It's different from usual zombie origins.

South Korea does not play around with zombies. I've learned that from seeing Kingdom and other Korean films about zombies.

All in all, this is a great show and I can't wait for the next season.
