'Kingdom': Netflix brings to life the grandeur of medieval South Korea in new zombie drama

While the undead rising against the living should have been the focus of the upcoming show, Netflix also managed to show the living clad in refined levels of grandeur and poise

The film not only had an all-round Asian cast but also managed to showcase the grandeur and extravagance of Asia's finest through the Singapore-based Young family — something that had never been done before.
