Netflix’s Best New Show Has A Perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Netflix has been investing increasingly in Korean content material over time, and there is a good motive for that. Well previous Squid Gameextraordinarily high-quality content material has emerged from the nation to land as hits, critically, viewership-wise or each. Now, that is occurred once more with a brand new 100% Rotten Tomatoes-scored present.

The sequence is The East Palace at the moment sitting at #10 on Netflix’s prime 10 listing. The present has 100% Rotten Tomatoes critical score, and now that viewers scores are coming in as nicely, it has a 90% there too.

The East Palace focuses on two characters: a person who walks the spirit world and slays demons and a lady who hears the useless, who’re ordered to the king’s palace to be able to resolve a supernatural thriller there and unravel the place’s “dark secrets.”

The 8-episode sequence is not only performing nicely on Rotten Tomatoes, however over on IMDB as nicely, the place no episode sits under an 8.1/10, actually improbable given the context of scores on that website.

Star Nam Joo-hyuk is not any stranger to TV, having appeared in dozens of episodes throughout exhibits like Vigilant (no, not the film), Twenty Five Twenty One, Start-Up, The Light In Your Eyes, The Bride of Habaek, Who Are You and lots of extra. His co-star, Roh Yoon-seo, has a shorter resume, however has appeared in well-reviewed sequence like The Frog, Crash Course in Romance and Our Blues. Both showing in a present this high-profile on Netflix often is the most eyes the 2 have had on a mission to this point.

The present is ready in Joseon-era Korea, which is a wide-spanning window of time for the nation, from 1392 to 1897, though the present appears to learn on the sooner aspect of that.

The East Palace just isn’t based mostly on a e-book or comedian or webtoon or something like that; slightly, it is an unique TV manufacturing. It can be listed as a restricted sequence, which means that there won’t be a second season because the story ends conclusively. Given how Netflix typically cancels sequence after cliffhanger season 1s, this is likely to be finest for everybody concerned, actually.

While it is doable it rises within the ranks, The East Palace can also fall off the highest 10 solely, and should now not catch the attention of many browsers. But contemplate this a reminder that that is the best-reviewed new present on Netflix proper now, increased than Little House on the Prairie and manner, manner, manner above The Hawk, though I suppose you could not discover extra nonsense programming.
