Just wanting to do my part to promote this South Korean zombie horror series set in medieval Korea. It’s a six-part series and Season 2 is apparently being shot right now.
What can you expect? Zombies, obviously, and that might turn you off. But rather than the slow shufflers of TWD, these are fast-moving undead who almost instantly turn their victims with a bite and which enter periods of complete rest.
Besides the swordsmen vs. zombies action scenes, the plot is focused on political intrigue, as the whole reason the outbreak starts is due to one clan attempting to hold on to power. It’s a surprisingly involving plot with surprisingly competent villains.
This is an Asian series, so you do have to accept that some characters will act in an extremely comical fashion for cheap laughs. (At least that’s been my experience with other Asian cinema.) And some of the English translations in the subtitles are kind of, well, s**t.
Otherwise, it’s absolutely worth a look. It’s a pretty solid 8/10.
