Where do I begin? I guess I'll start with the story. To say the least, the plot is a unique one, with an ending that had me rethinking my values as a human being. I had been so affected by the end, that I couldn't physically cry. It had impacted me to the point where I nearly had an existential crisis.

The acting was incredible and it never felt awkward. The main male lead, the older one, just continues to prove to us that he's extremely talented. The main female lead was just as extraordinary, and I'm pretty sure it was her first acting job, which I have a hard time believing because she was just THAT good.

The music didn't stand out too much, but it was the lack of music in some scenes that left me in awe. The cinematography, by the way, is beautiful and it drew me in completely.

I'm waiting for the perfect opportunity to re-watch this but for now, I'll just continue recommending this to literally everyone. It is an amazing work of art if you actually take the time to think about the story and the affect it has on the characters' lives. This isn't just some cool movie that you should check out. It's a deep story that gets you thinking: would you do what the man did? (You'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen the movie!)

I must say, this is a decently unique drama. I have seen my fair share of horror dramas and this one went above and beyond. There was no cheap CGI or awkward effects, and the horror scenes had me holding my breath. The main antagonist gave me so much goosebumps, too.

The overall plot was pretty good. It's a bit typical, but at the same time, it stands out enough to draw you into the story. It's also not bad enough to drop the overall rating from a 10.

The acting was incredible and the main characters, in my opinion, were likable, although some other viewers had a dislike for the main protagonist. I guess it depends on what human qualities you dislike in real life. The side characters were amazing as well, and no one drew away from the story.

The music added to the cinematography and went well with it. At one point, I had associated the main antagonist's theme song with the fear I felt toward them that whenever the song played, I grew a little anxious, even if the antagonist was no where to be seen.

All in all, this was a really good horror drama with scenes that had me re-watching them multiple times. It's a very good watch, especially during the Halloween season. It drew me in and had me rushing to go watch it. I finished it in three days! I recommend this to anyone who loves a good horror mystery!

A period drama with zombies is something I never knew I needed in my life until I came across Kingdom. To start, the story is creatively unique. The last thing I expected from this drama when I saw its cover photo is zombies (but then again, I didn't notice the zombie reflected in the sword). The first season does a good job of introducing these creatures and giving them a sort of background story, all while sprinkling in a little bit of political strife. The story wasn't rushed and it was well written. It has its fair share of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now, I can't really say the same for the acting. The cast is one that I recognize and some of the actors I had enjoyed in other dramas. So, I assumed there would be some incredible acting and even though there were some great roles, others seemed a bit too over dramatic. It could be because this is a period drama, and overly authoritative personalities were the norm back then, but now, it just seems too much. Maybe that's the standard for acting in period dramas, since this isn't the first historical drama I've seen with dramatic acting, but I can't be sure. All I know is that some moments were a bit cringey for me personally, but I was quickly able to get over it and move on.

The music was... fine, I guess. I gave it 8 stars because I can't really remember the score, or what it even relatively sounded like. It was good enough that it didn't distract from the story, but it also wasn't amazing to the point where I was looking up the songs afterwards to add to my playlist. It was average music and that shouldn't drive you away from watching this drama.

The cinematography was alright. It's not a visual-focused drama, so nothing stood out, but the setting was appropriate and pretty, as in historically pretty. The monsters are also well done and look awfully creepy, which is a good thing in this case.

Overall, I'd say this was a pretty good start to a very interesting drama. I gave the rewatch value a ten because the drama is short, which is perfect for a quick fix, if you need one. It sucks for those who are waiting for a second season after binge watching the first one in a day, though. Nonetheless, this is a creepy, well-made drama that you should check out if you're looking for something spooky to watch.
