Kingdom: Ashin-jeon

Hellyeah, that was one kick-a$$ spin-off of or rather origin story of the series. Damn I really long for more now. There is a great dramatic main theme in this movie, I don't wanna call it by name, spoilering, but lemme tell you, it got real dark, and I liked it, and it felt so satisfying in the last third of the movie, just wanted to see the whole world burn. I see no reason to analyze the movie much more detailled, maybe because there was not a single bad or annoying thing to me, which is a miracle comparing it to other NF releases these days. Style from the series is all there, and imho at least on the same level of quality, what I noticed is the OST seemed actually better, very aggressive. Keep 'em coming!

(btw it's more of an 8/10 but in these times of super polarized reviews/rating I feel obligated to put on a star for stuff I dig.)

Ashin Of The North is an extra long episode of the quality series Kingdom which explains a lot after watching the season's finale from that show. You should watch the two seasons of Kingdom before though. I was looking forward to watch this episode. Everything makes more sense now. It's still cinematography of high quality and for that we have to thank the South_koreans that clearly know what they're doing. They're by far the best cinema country from Asia. Ashin Of The North is only one episode which is strange but in one episode everything is explained well. I could watch much more episodes of this kind of stories, it's all just very entertaining. Finally you get some zombies that can run and not that weak stumbling around like in the American show The Walking Dead. South-Korean zombies are hungry and fast, which makes it all more suspenseful. Credits to the make-up artists who did a very good job.

Kingdom Ashin Of North is a brilliant spin off of critically acclaimed Kingdom series which tells the story of Ashin and the origins of the undead.

The story was great along with the lead cast and overall production of this special episode. From the very beginning till the end, there was no boredom whatsoever. A story of survival, betrayal and revenge, Ashin Of North serves a great plot that will eventually tie up with Kingdom storyline. Jun Ji Hyun was brilliant as Ashin.

The 3rd season will probably the ultimate showdown of humans vs the undead and I am waiting eagerly for it

My Rating : 9/10.

I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people complaining that it's slow.

W le have seen so much action throughout the series we can't simply appreciate a spin off episode setting the tone for the newly introduced character. We can't bear 30 minutes without action or jump scares, okay.

Also surprised at the people who are confused about how the disease is spread before leaving reviews it's very clear. Watch it again, more closely...

Loved this episode as much as the season 1 & 2 and look forward to seeing what season 3 brings.

Solid story line. This 1hr 33min episode justifies the origin of the undead. Jun Ji Hyun did well but I was impressed by the child actress' performance. There was a scene that just broke my heart, I did not expect it would turn as dark as it did. But it was truly gripping and thrilling. Cinematography was just perfect. The ending had me wanting more. The only reason I left out two stars was because I had a hard time identifying the other characters aside from Ashin, her dad, the head commander and the leader of the Pajeowi tribe. Gahhhddddd, hope they release Season 3 soon. Or another feature episode on Ashin. The Kingdom franchise is really top-tier.
