Abstract
This study applies a semiotic text analysis method to track the generation of symbols in the image text of Netflix’s original series Kingdom and the conversion process of its symbolic meaning. Specifically, this study understands the role and function of zombies in the drama and their implications in its text. Also, analyzing zombies in the drama requires understanding the relationship with other narrative subjects or structures of Joseon society along with the overall narrative context and development. Based on the significance of the semiotic methodology, this study aims to determine the symbols generated and expressed in the text by analyzing each symbol in Kingdom. Furthermore, through semiotic text analysis, this study explores the dirty, deformed, damaged bodies of zombies and their physical expression reproduced in the drama. Moreover, it analyzes the representation and relationship of each symbol in Kingdom and reveals the layer of ideology that the work intends to present.
