We asked Kim Eun Hee regarding her inspiration on how she gave birth to this script, she told us, “Ever since, I love zombies and I love history, so it is pretty essential to me to write this period piece with zombies in it. I also encounter challenges while writing this script since I was into writing modern-day crime stories. While writing this new season of Kingdom, I had to remind myself that this is a historical project and I have to remind myself that back then, there was no technology.”
