Since the "Busan Trip" was fired, Korean zombie-themed film and television works have begun to explode.
In October this year, the zombie movie "Rampant" was released in South Korea, and the box office was hot, with 840,000 viewers in the first weekend, and it ascended to the throne of the Korean weekend box office champion without suspense.
Starring Hyun Bin, Jang Dong Kin, Cho Woo Jin, Lee Sun Bin, etc., this film is a brand new masterpiece created by the production company of Busan Trip. Although "Rampant" is a hit in South Korea, the word-of-mouth performance is average, scoring only 5.5 points in Douban, and the plot is boring and cheesy is a big hard injury.
Recently, South Korea has exploded a new zombie drama "Kingdom", also known as "Lee Corpse Joseon", which is the first Korean drama produced by Netflix, and Korean dramas are going to the international rhythm.
"Kingdom" is directed by Kim Sung-hoon, who has directed films such as "Tunnel" and "To the End", and "Rampant" is also his new work, it seems that the director has begun to specialize in zombie-themed works. The screenwriter is Kim Eun-hee, who has written "The Signal".
The cast of this new drama is very strong, starring Pei Doona, Liu Chenglong and Zhu Zhixun, and Netflix shot it, and it was really unusual.
