I predict there will be no ship for this drama. I mean, we don't have to worry about Song Joong Ki's chemistry with the zombies, right?

WHAT?? He is getting married?? How long have I been sleeping?? On the other hand, I am excited to see a zombie apocalypse saguek. Never knew I wanted to see it so much until now?. Will be so glad to see Song Joong Ki in Yong-ha attire again?

Loooove the bit on the Song-Song wedding! ???

It makes perfect sense that all the wedding planning would make a person acutely in touch with his apocalyptic psyche.

Omg omg what what whattttt omg song song couple are for reals?????? :oooooo I don't even ship 'em but this news got me shooked bruh I love how casual gf said it too like oh yeah nbd they're getting married omggggg!! WOW so all the tabloids abt them being together wasn't so bogus after all, but marriage!?! Omg, so surprised, but also very much excited for them! Yay!!

... oh yeah signal writer's new drama w joong ki? I'm in I'm in!!

Please let this happen!! What do I have to sacrifice to the drama gods for this to happen?!?

I've been freaking out about the Song-Song Couple news already, and this drama news is even more fun to look forward to watching!! I mean...we all could see the SSC thing coming when we saw them being all giggly at the awards shows and SJK's fanmeeting, right? But who could predict SJK + Joseon zombies?? Hehehe!

Woahhh. I am so out of k stars news that I didnt read anything after the first line. Just heard about their rumors. Glad and damn surprised.

I came right to Dramabeans after finding out about the marriage news and now this!!! :o After watching him as the young king in Tree with Deep Roots I want moreeee

It's great news (surprising indeed but still a happy news) that the Song-Song couple is real and getting married! And It's nice to see Song Joong-Ki back in drama land since last year's DOTS, though I agree our standards for zombie apocalypse has been risen high after the success of Train to Busan. Hopefully a shorter 8 episodes will mean that the production team can focus better and improve the quality of the drama overall!
Congrats again to the couple!

Congrats to both!
Married or single his face will be on my wall for as long
as Song Joong-ki is still acting. I'm still going to fangirl over him like I always have.

Unless Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho offers him a role then this might be good to explore. He can do sageuk so I'm behind him in everything sageuk.
Can we freaking have Han Ye-ri as his leading lady? I want some real talents!

Please let this casting happen and if there is a female lead in this drama please let her acting be on par with SJK. Also please let her character be badass and not a damsel in distress ??

Arggggg! Zombies wearing gats!

*composes self*

Set during the Imjin War when patriotic Joseon zombies in league with Admiral Yi Sun-shin harry Japanese naval forces before getting sucked down into Uldolmok, "the Roaring Channel"???

Whatever. It sounds like fun. ;-)

Colour me shook! I was not prepared for this!!! I didn't even like DOTS that much to be honest. And this happens. I can't even!!!

what a best thing today !!!! i want this ?

IS THIS MY LUCKY DAY OR SOMETHING??
First the marriage news (they are one of only two drama couples that I ship so hard, the other being Nam Joo Hyuk - Lee Sung Kyung lol), and now THIS???
Yasss SJK for my most favorite drama writer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ghost/Phantom and Signal still remain as the best K-drama for me

So this drama won't air on a broadcast channel?

While I'm not a fan of DOTS, I think Song Joong-ki is one of the best actors in his generation, so I look forward to this drama. And congrats to his upcoming wedding. :D

Can we get a role for our Jung Eun?

I was so surprised when I heard about their marriage news! I thought it was a joke.? I thought it was April fools even though I knew it's July. Anyways, this seems interesting. Hope he accepts!

Wow! I believe the dating rumors because they were together all the time but I didn't expect the wedding this soon. I'm really happy for them, they make the cutest couple ❤

Yes!!!!! So happy. I hope he confirms because more Oppa on screen is always amazing, and this would be the perfect thing to continue after I watch Battleship Island in August.

A good leading lady and cast please!!!!!!

I wasn't online for a day and what?????? he is getting married???? to song hye kyo?????????? lol congrats tho. They make such beautiful couple. Imagine the babies <3

Okay, that means I really need to watch this despite my aversion of zombie theme. It's my fave writer Kim Eun-hee + Song Joong-ki in sageuk garb. How can I say no??

My deepest condolences to my heart. Don't worry I still have Park Hae Jin left.. Fighting! ?

Kingdom sounds very interesting. Even though it's short, I'm sure Joongki will make the role memorable if he accepts. Big congrats to our SongSong couple!!! Wishing you happiness and joy together!!

YES PLEASE! I've been dying to see Song Joong-ki make a sageuk comeback after Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Tree with Deep Roots.

And congrats to the SongSong couple!

Netflix?! Nooooo!
Also-- yeah Song Song couple!

That marriage news was unexpected but vey much welcome. Happy news for this lovely couple. Any offspring from their union will be beautiful. ? Congratulations Song Joong ki and Song Hye Kyo! ?

Now that zombie saguek apocalypse drama sounds very interesting. Loved Train to Busan so looking forward to this show despite being 8 episodes only.

Woah.. I'm not a Song-Song couple fan but it's such a good news :) Congratulaion !

is it Christmas already? Yesterday it was Bogummy now SJK!

so, it will be all the people his charisma killed, in hanboks?

I am very suspicious. They give us this dream project. What is their deal? Do they know something we don´t? Has the zombie apocalypse actually started already? Are they fulfilling our "last wishes" right now? *glares distrustfully.

I.
AM.
SHOCK.
I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING!
Congrats!? (one more oppa off the market after Eric!!) ~>_<~

You had me til "Netflix". Haven't been too impressed with their original series. But Song Joong ki would make it worthwhile regardless.

Sounds interesting! A zombie k-drama would be a first, but seems like it could be a fun, action-packed drama. I think SJK has proven to be a good actor, both dramatic and action, so this would be a good project for him. I think the Joseon aspect is really intriguing and adds a unique twist to genre that usual is set in a post-apocalyptic world of sorts.

I'm not sure everyone is pleased about this, but I'm actually very pleased that this will be on Netflix. I love that they're expanding their content. It's nice to be able to watch shows from all over the world all in one place (especially when you have tastes as broad as mine)!

Yaaaaaas a sageuk! This feels kind of like Scholar Who Walks the Night though....

How to begin your day ?
Check dramabeans site then learn that :
- Song-Song couple was real and they’re getting married O_o
- Kim Eun-Hee writer will be back later this year : oh yeah
- Song Joong-ki will play in a Kim Eun-Hee ‘s drama + it's a sageuk (which means my beloved hanbok and OST): oh yeah n.2
- Director will be Tunnel’s director : it’s what we call a winning team, right ?
- Little letdown it will be only 8 episodes, if it’s the price to dodge any dragging, we’ll take it thank you
Thank you Girlfriday for brightening my day ?

No, please no. Can't expect better quality from netflix except those bad webrips, because netflix is blocked by my ISP, and netflix itself, they've blocked VPN access.

Wow! Just read about the SongSong couple getting married. Congrats to them. Interesting news about this drama. Could be interesting. Reminds me of Price and Prejudice and Zombies (book was OK, film was not) so hope this is better.

Is this seriously going to air solely on netflix? No local or cable tv network involved like forest of secrets with tvn + netflix?

Measly indeed but it makes sense because it's netflix's style to have 8 episode only (stranger things). They'll prolly air this once a week. And I wonder if this will be recapped here in db.

so happy he consider it. Man I'm so happy for his announcement marriage. my fav korean actor will getting married

AN OTP FALLING IN LOVE AND GETTING MARRIED!!!! all of us beanies around the world were super happy today! I'm also on board with zombies, I liked the whole idea of vampires in sageuk for Scholar Who Walks the Night, so zombies should be interesting. Especially since they had so many public executions, wars, diseases, and famines back in Joseon, it'd be cool to see the rise of the undead.

Oh girlfriday...you slipped that in so smoothly?fantastic news about the song song couple...man their babies are going to be cute.
I am hoping the k fans are happy about the news cause they can be pretty vicious.
Kingdom-- just the name itself sounds epic!!Fingers crossed he sign on. If not i vote for lee jun ki or yoon si yoon for the role.

Yey to the marriage news, and YES PLEASE to the drama news.

God, Song-Song couple is a real deal. And they are getting married. What is happening? They've been denying the rumours since the DotS and now BAM! marriage. Still, very happy news. Ah, our oppas are growing up and getting married; first Rain, now Song Joong-ki. Who will be next?

As for the news (yeah, that was the main topic... I got a little sidetracked): the more Song Joong-ki, the better. And with the Signal writer? I'm in in, all in.

This is crazy!!! Most shockinnggg news I ever read damnn!! I am super happy but confused?? like when do they date?? I never hear any confirmed news, only rumors and rumors which always lead to fail ship!@@

Well after the mediocre drama DotS, this would actually be an improvement for Song Joong Ki.

Eh, zombies... I think that's one subject matter and genre I'd pass just because they're so scary (so much running away from 'em and then getting caught and bitten, argh!) and it's so sad to see someone transforming into one and becoming a completely different person. Train to Busan scarred me good, man. I mean, I'm not traumatized, and I'll probably still watch because it sounds interesting and the people attached to this project is credible and good, but zombies are definitely not my catnip.
