'Kingdom' depicts the tale of a crown prince diving headfirst into a suicide mission
Netflix's upcoming zombie drama, 'Kingdom,' has a lot of unique, refreshing takes to offer. From the grandeur of the South Korean Joseon dynasty it is set in, to its never-seen-before aesthetic take on zombies, viewers are set to indulge in a joyride as the story's crown prince digs deeper into the catastrophe his people are facing.
Here's the catch, though: In the quest to unravel the horrifying mystery behind the undead rising against the living, the crown prince embarks on a suicide mission of sorts. As the plot synopsis reveals: "In a kingdom defeated by corruption and famine, a mysterious rumor of the king’s death spreads, as does a strange plague that renders the infected immune to death and hungry for flesh. The crown prince, fallen victim to a conspiracy, sets out on a journey to unveil the evil scheme and save his people."
Playing the role of the crown prince will be the iconic Ju Ji-hoon, who is making his comeback, three years after his last show 'Mask' premiered in 2015.
