==And to all those who are still confused,== to my utter disbelief and pity, ==this "movie" served as a special episode and teaser for the upcoming season to the _Kingdom_ franchise.== And dare I say, it served its purpose excellently.


Initially this special episode didn't sit well with me, with its predictable plot and niche-tropey characters and dialogues. This movie however, is an adrenaline ride made to serve as a curiosity and expectation fueling teaser to both the franchise and premise of the story. Well that much is obvious to all audience, but with unprecedented aspects such as [spoiler]addition of psychological genre and a vengeance-motivated and [somewhat] sadist and masochist anti-hero[/spoiler], the series has plucked up my ears and interest **yet** again. As most Korean stuff, this too goes way over the board with its concept for the sake of story, in a rather haphazard and unnecessarily desperate manner, but that's again what makes this [spoiler]good shit[/spoiler] worth a watch. This is one of those things, for me, which are charming as they are because of their first watch. Basically, can't watch it again for I get what it wanted to do and I'm fired up for the next season lol


I came to know about the existence of a teaser such as this, given its relation to one of my most-appreciated Korean franchises, I am glad and relieved that I could watch this. A must watch for those who like/love the original series, and _**don't judge a movie by its beginning**._ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
