Netflix's 'Kingdom' brings back Ju Ji-hoon's talent to the TV screen after 3 years

Season 1 of 'Kingdom' premieres on Netflix on January 25, 2019 and will feature Ji-hoon for the first time in a drama series since his 2015 hit show, 'Mask.'

As the release of Netflix's upcoming period drama 'Kingdom' draws nearer, anticipation builds up about the zombie horror set in medieval South Korea.

With gritty politics, thrilling plot twists, and of course the undead rising against the living, this comes off as the perfect compact drama to look out for around the end of January 2019.

But that's not all that's exciting about the show, as along with its refreshing, unique take on zombies, 'Kingdom' will also feature South Korean actor Ju Ji-hoon, in what is being considered his big comeback in television drama, after three long years.

At 36, Ji-hoon has been in the South Korean entertainment industry for over a decade now. His fame only took off with the 2006 hit romantic comedy 'Princess Hours' - which earned him awards, recognition, and massive popularity - even though he had been appearing in bits and parts on several shows prior to that.
