Listeners, we apologize that Joanna’s audio is not as good as it normally is. She was traveling and had to record this episode on her phone. Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 3 of Season 2 of Kingdom, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Ju Ji-hoon as Crown Prince Yi Chang, Bae Doona as Seo-bi, Ryu Seung-ryong as Cho Hak ju, Kim Sang-ho as Mou Young, Kim Sung-kyu as Yeong shin, and Kim Hye-jun as the Queen Consort. We discuss: The timeline of the queen’s evil plan to get a baby boy. We have differing opinions about when it all began! We also disagree about when we think Mu Yeong started spying on the Crown Prince for Cho Beom Il.

How the Crown Prince must kill his zombie father, thereby honoring his father’s words to him from so long ago: Stay alive! We learn more about what happened three years ago and we learn that Lord Ahn has deeply regretted his decision to create zombies ever since.
