This would be an easy 9, but it devolded since season 1. Season 1 was a true well written season, filled with intrigue and wonder. Then comes along Season 2, which more than likely was affected by Netflix influence. Turning the MC into a bumbling mess of a man. It is sad to see such a great show fall below the threshold when it was shining in the first season like a true star. All the actors who came back did well, and I am only unhappy they removed Mu-deok, as she was a true powerhouse of an actor. The new star is great at playing the victim as she often is a victime due to the stupid MC written in Season 2.
I have been so tired of Western films in the last 10 years, and Kingdom has been a breath of fresh air, from 1-3. The writing, camera work, audio quality, soundtracks, story arcs, are simply all stellar. Which made me give this 10/10 for the valiant effort of this movie. No agenda BS like the West, just pure fun, emotional stories, powerful visuals, and this is the classic show me and don't tell me concept in fine style. I have played games that have lost this, and watched shows that have lost this concept. I have had chills to the point of emotional tears, of just being happy I can watch and enjoy. I am literally done with Western shows, and may shows like these continue to fill the market. So we can see what we are missing.
I can understand many wanted this to be like the other Heist. However, it is about Berlin, a passionate man, and a great actor. The show is a true love story, that has 4 arch's that goes in different paces and directions. The dynamics is great, and the acting is sublime, but this is not really about Heists. So as long as your expectations are tempered that this is about Love Stories you will give this a high mark. Berlin the connoisseur of love lines in Heist shows. Is what made me know this was not about the Heist as the title shows his name huge. Berlin gets a lot of time early on, but I think it is balanced in how they present the other love stories. Go in with your expectations that this is a love story and less about Heists.
