- Thread starter Kinthey
- Start date
So just finished watching season 1, and between This and Parasite I'm getting the impression Koreans don't like the wealthy. Lol.
Haha lots of Korean dramas have shown this. But on the opposite side, there are also lots of Korean dramas that have the rich heirs be the main characters so idk maybe its 50/50.
yeah, the only Korean media ive consumed is this and Parasite so I thought it was interesting.
Just finished season 2. Absolutely sublime. One of the most unique things I've ever seen. They took some of the best elements of the zombie genre, the political intrigue of Game of Thrones, and made a period show set in Korea, and they pulled it off.
Interesting bump, becuase I just finished this the other day. I loved the setting and explanation. Think they did a great job closing and yet setting up another season (hopefully)
Right now there's no season 3 announcement from what i searched but I figure this is a prequel episode on the origins of the flower cause we got that teaser at the end of season 2. I would think they'd announce season 3 when this episode is out.
Yeah, I believe this is a stop gap they doing before Season 3 happens. They might have had to delay shooting with Covid and at least this keeps the world going, since it has been awhile since Season 2.
I cannot wait to come home from work and watch this!
I just know it's going to be great and also set the stage for what we should expect going forward.
Looks like another special episode is in the works

That was a great way of introducing a villain, despite some minor flaws I really enjoyed this special episode.
Really enjoyed it, even if I had a bit of a hard time following some of the specific until the big reveal.
This was fucking great, well worth resubscribing to Netflix for a month.
Kingdom remains easily my favourite thing Netflix has ever done.

Dude what a crazy fucking episode/movie.
I cannot wait for Season 3.
She literally genocides an entire garrison! That's insanity. Also who was the dude she fed to her zombie villagers at the end? Just some rando? It didn't look like the guy in charge.
I sort of understand her motivation, twisted as they seem. But to see your father like that....ugh. she's gone psycho but honestly no one can blame her.

it wasn't the guy in charge because he shows up in season 2. He's the detective investigating the murder of the women.
At the end
Yeah who was the guy that she fed to the zombie villagers? I thought it was the guy that rapes her but pretty sure she shanked him and turned him first to start the whole village massacre.
Ashin was absolutely ruthless! I can't believe she stayed silent the whole time.. just sent them to their graves. I came to the show finally a couple months back and am so glad I finally got around to watching it. It's truly an amazing series.
Lttp with Ashin. I was abit apprehensive to watch this as S2 ending is so good that I don't feel like revisiting it. But my god Ashin of the North is amazing. It provide a significant world building, showed a sympathetic villain and pretty much ties well into the whole narrative. I went from not willing to engage with a continuation to really hyped up for S3. I want more!! Hail queen Ashin.
Yeah this franchise is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see more, we have something special thanks to this show lol.
Watched with my fiance and we loved it. But certain character decisions made solely to advance the plot were almost maddening lol.
Seo-bi (the nurse) inexplicably being desperate to save Cho Hak-ju was annoying but I got over it as soon as I realized the queen regent was poisoning him. but then the ending.......... She see's the baby is bitten... then instead of dunking him in water which she JUST learned cures the infected who have not yet died, she just thinks "Oh i guess babies are immune" insane leap of logic there with dire consequences.
No I believe she said she did dunk the baby into water and got rid of the worms. You can take a look at around the 33:30 timestamp in the last episode. Evidently it wasn't done cleanly enough so we shall see what season 3 brings us.
They are? I haven't seen any news about that and Kim Eun-hee is doing a public channel kdrama this year.
Apparently! And didn't she do 2 things last year as well? The Kingdom special and another show?
She did. Ashin and Jirisan (which was awful). Seems Netflix never actually confirmed another special though, and they haven't announced Season 3 yet. If another special happens I'd imagine it's 2023.
If it gets a third season it'll be the first kdrama I've ever seen to have one. I hope they don't run it into the ground, I like that Korean shows are usually short (well, 1 hour 30 minute long episodes lol) and to the point.
The sooner Kim Eun-hee writes a sequel to Signal the better...
