'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

Netflix pretty much revolutionized the racial diversity and accurate representation on screen game earlier in 2018 with the release of 'Crazy Rich Asians'. 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. But now, the streaming network takes a detour and travels all the way back to the medieval period in South Korea to showcase the elegance and panache in the royalty prevailing at the time, in its upcoming show 'Kingdom'.
