The first time Kim Eun-hee tried to write a love story, the film flopped."I realized that romance wasn't working for me," she said.
Now, more than 15 years after her attempt at a romantic movie, Kim's job as a television writer is about offering a sort of"catharsis" to her audience. But, she said,"I don't want to give too much false hope that appears in dramas." Her 2019 Netflix series"Kingdom" explored those themes with a 15th-century zombie twist. Against the backdrop a zombie epidemic in South Korea's Joseon dynasty,"Kingdom" features the epic journey of the crown prince as he searches for the cause of the outbreak.According to its director Kim Seong-hoon, stories like"Kingdom" have changed Korean dramas, bringing the thriller genre into the mainstream.
That sentiment is also shared by popular actors Ju Ji-hoon and Gianna Jun -- both leads in the"Kingdom" series, as well as Kim's latest drama"Mount Jiri." "I am afraid of heights, scared of bugs, and also I have a weak body, so I ended up in distress in the middle of the mountain," she recalled."Eventually, I ended up spending a night at a shelter nearby. I had a very hard time, but seeing the night sky full of stars gave me confidence about writing this script."
