(Mild spoilers below.) The series is set in Korea's Joeson period, a medieval dynasty that lasted some 500 years (1392-1897). The current king has been ill with smallpox (supposedly) and confined to his palace, with only his physicians, royal guards, and young pregnant wife, Queen Cho (Kim Hye-jun), allowed to see him. The queen's father, Cho Hak-ju, heads up the Haewon Cho clan, who have been gradually eroding the king's power and influence with an eye toward replacing the crown prince (born to a concubine) with a legitimate heir—assuming the queen gives birth to a son. The suspicious crown prince heads out to the provinces to find out what the physician did to his father, accompanied by a loyal servant, Mu-Yeung (Kim Sang-ho). The zombie king kills the physician's young assistant, and the body is brought back to his clinic in the remote village of Dongnae, where the people are starving. The head nurse, Seo-bi (Bae Doo-na) is horrified to find that this turns all of them into flesh-eating monsters, along with anyone they bite. Seo-bi and Yeong-Sin didn't eat the stew, so they don't turn. Writer Kim Eun-Hee has said that he originally planned to adapt his webcomic into a "webtoon," where the crown prince would be much younger, but he seems pleased with how this fleshed-out, live-action drama turned out. The production values are stunning, bringing the historical period to life in rich detail, although doing so pushed the series well over budget and beyond the planned four-month production period.

The PP then struck back, saying the alternative would be for opposition Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez to head a "Frankenstein government" supported by anti-establishment and regional politicians that would be doomed to failure. Spanish media dissected the case, from an unprecedented raid at PP's national headquarters, to the destruction of hard drives there, and even published a barrage of private messages between Rajoy and Barcenas. Last week's National Court ruling looks at only one portion of the case, the kickbacks-for-contracts scheme in place between 1999 and 2005, when Rajoy himself was moving up the party ladder. All major parties have called for Rajoy to step down, but the prime minister has fended off pressure saying that political instability is bad for the country and for the economies in Spain and the European Union. In Spain, a no-confidence motion is designed not just to oust the standing prime minister but to choose a replacement. Ciudadanos, a rising star in the center-right of Spanish politics, is refusing to support him and is seeking a new general election instead that could be won by their leader, Albert Rivera, according to recent polls. Rivera would have strong chances of placing first in an election, positioning him to become prime minister but without winning a majority to form a government on its own. "But it's definitely the beginning of the end of Rajoy and his Popular Party." But a minority Socialist Cabinet would be a "Frankenstein government," as the Popular Party has characterized it, with hard to please nationalists and anti-austerity lawmakers. A third possibility, an early resignation by Rajoy himself to avoid the embarrassment of being ousted, was rejected Wednesday by the prime minister's office in a statement.

Therefore, vampire politicians would do all they can to remain in power so that they would continue accumulating wealth from the resources of their countries as well as from the wicked games of changing their countries’ diplomatic relations and selling their political positions for money, at the expense of their citizens and their status in the world. Since they do not feel for their own people, always draining them of all the means to a decent life, vampire politicians are human beings without a true heart. Like movie psychos, psycho politicians always behave in a way that does not speak of a sound mind. And the only case when a psycho politician would calm down and become comprehensible for others is when he is in a confrontation with another psycho politician who has a more serious condition of mental problems. Therefore, I think it is reasonable to say that psycho politicians lack a true mind. Like zombies, who do not feel life in the absence of human beings, zombie politicians do not feel life unless there are enemies, evil plans, conspiracies, and weapons to destroy the enemies. Unlike vampire and psycho politicians (whose actions either take people’s money or get them into serious trouble, respectively), zombie politicians love to destroy life, even their own; that is, termination of life is their main mission in their living-like activity of walking. This, therefore, calls for the application of some new measures before electing or selecting someone for a state position, whether running the state or one of its institutions. Such tests should also evaluate their thinking and problem solving skills and their integrity, as well as their attitudes towards public property and public service. Moreover, eligibility for the public office should also depend on having a clear plan for running the institution and developing its operation.
