Kingdom: Ashin-jeon

Hellyeah, that was one kick-a$$ spin-off of or rather origin story of the series. Damn I really long for more now. There is a great dramatic main theme in this movie, I don't wanna call it by name, spoilering, but lemme tell you, it got real dark, and I liked it, and it felt so satisfying in the last third of the movie, just wanted to see the whole world burn. I see no reason to analyze the movie much more detailled, maybe because there was not a single bad or annoying thing to me, which is a miracle comparing it to other NF releases these days. Style from the series is all there, and imho at least on the same level of quality, what I noticed is the OST seemed actually better, very aggressive. Keep 'em coming!

(btw it's more of an 8/10 but in these times of super polarized reviews/rating I feel obligated to put on a star for stuff I dig.)

Solid story line. This 1hr 33min episode justifies the origin of the undead. Jun Ji Hyun did well but I was impressed by the child actress' performance. There was a scene that just broke my heart, I did not expect it would turn as dark as it did. But it was truly gripping and thrilling. Cinematography was just perfect. The ending had me wanting more. The only reason I left out two stars was because I had a hard time identifying the other characters aside from Ashin, her dad, the head commander and the leader of the Pajeowi tribe. Gahhhddddd, hope they release Season 3 soon. Or another feature episode on Ashin. The Kingdom franchise is really top-tier.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people complaining that it's slow.

W le have seen so much action throughout the series we can't simply appreciate a spin off episode setting the tone for the newly introduced character. We can't bear 30 minutes without action or jump scares, okay.

Also surprised at the people who are confused about how the disease is spread before leaving reviews it's very clear. Watch it again, more closely...

Loved this episode as much as the season 1 & 2 and look forward to seeing what season 3 brings.

Every frame in this series is a masterpiece! Loved the plot, story, characters and director's vision. While there is so many zombie based films and shows but this one is definitely the best. It shows a new perspective and a new way to show a zombie story. I hope there is a season three for this show. Can't wait.

BTW, I saw the show like 7 times and never bored. Enjoyed every time..

The story did deliver and was beautifully acted. Ashin was believable and it was touching. Story of revenge and huge plot twists . I am impressed with this . It has raised the bar for season 3 . Well done Netflix for not letting this one go..
