"Kingdom" Season 2, one of the most anticipated screen comebacks, is finally here! On Netflix, we can finally see the undead swarm the kingdom of Korea once again after a year of waiting. But before tuning in to this series, let's refresh our memory and know what else we need to know about the fantasy drama's much-awaited second season.
The series "Kingdom'' is based on the webcomic, titled "Land of the Gods," penned by Kim Eun-hee. She is already a well-known screenwriter and playwright in South Korea, and she was also the one who wrote the drama version to adapt her webcomic to the mainstream audience.
Having a phenomenal cast, cinematography, story, and beautiful design, it's obvious why an enormous amount of viewers are entirely hooked on the show. The first season was only an appetizer, but it was enough to keep the audience on the edge of their seat. But imagine how everyone feels upon the arrival of Season 2.
The cast shared what to expect from their characters in this new season, which finally aired on Friday, March 13, via Netflix.
In a live press conference, main actor Joo Ji Hoon, who portrays the role of prince Lee Chang, said that his character has changed from the hunted into the hunter. Then, Kim Eun Hee added that by defeating Jo Hak Joo, the viewers will be able to catch Prince Lee Chang becoming a true leader of his nation.
Speaking of Jo Hak Joo, actor Ryu Seung Ryong expressed that his character shows how scary a human's twisted beliefs can be. If you are someone who holds as much power as a king, his character Jo Hak Joo aspires to rule the kingdom within the accordance of his wrong and evil vision, which even includes getting rid of someone who stands in his way.
In "Kingdom" Season 2, Bae Doona's character, the nurse Seo Bi, will research and study the outbreak and the so-called "resurrection plant." Bae Doona gave a comment about her character who was incredibly bold in the first season, and how she becomes even stronger and bolder in Season 2. She is an amazing character who shows that social class means nothing.
