    Honest rating 7.5/10

    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.

    kingdom - Ashin of the North

    I was hoping for season 3 of this absolutely amazing Korean series. After seeing this kingdom special, I am even more looking forward. The story is simple but is well told, adding another dimension to the Kingdom universe. The story is dark and a nice introduction to Ashin - I think it is successful and gives a good insight into her upcoming role in Kingdom. Both the director and the writer as well as the entire production team have done a great job and promoted Korean film and television in the best way.

    Cinematic Masterpiece..!

    Every frame in this series is a masterpiece! Loved the plot, story, characters and director's vision. While there is so many zombie based films and shows but this one is definitely the best. It shows a new perspective and a new way to show a zombie story. I hope there is a season three for this show. Can't wait.

    BTW, I saw the show like 7 times and never bored. Enjoyed every time..

    Ashin shows the origin story which is sentimental..

    The story did deliver and was beautifully acted. Ashin was believable and it was touching. Story of revenge and huge plot twists . I am impressed with this . It has raised the bar for season 3 . Well done Netflix for not letting this one go..

    Must Watch!

    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.
