This Drink Was Inspired By A Netflix Hit Show

Over the rainy weekend, many Netflix users have been glued to "Kingdom: Ashin Of The North,” a prequel to the zombie hit “Kingdom” Seasons 1 and 2.

Ashin is played by Jun Ji-hyun, who is best known for her roles in “Il Mare”and “My Sassy Girl.” The latter is a movie acknowledged for having kick-started the Hallyu trend that’s sweeping the world today. Jun Ji-hyun also starred in “Legend of the Blue Sea”and “My Love from the Star.”

This is how big Jun Ji-hyun is: In 2014, there was a rumor that she wore a certain YSL lipstick in “My Love from the Star.” The lipstick (YSL Rouge Pur Couture in shade No. 52) sold out in Korea and worldwide.

Fresh from a hiatus from taking on major roles, Jun Ji-hyun makes a triumphant return as Ashin, who starts as out in "Kingdom: Ashin Of The North” as a skeptical child with some optimism in her heart but turns into someone filled with hate and revenge.

Ashin first makes an appearance in the last episode of the second season of “Kingdom”as former Crown Prince Lee Chang (Ju Ji-hoon) and Seo Bi (Bae Doona) travel to the north to find answers to questions about the Resurrection Plant, which is believed to be responsible for the zombie apocalypse in Joseon.

Speaking of the Resurrection Plant, Netflix Thailand marked the premiere of "Kingdom: Ashin Of The North” by teaming up with hyped milk tea brand Fire Tiger for a special limited edition drink named the "Resurrection Drink."

Inspired by the color purple, drink is made with heat-combating refreshing ingredients such as cold-pressed mangosteen juice, butterfly pea juice, and soda and topped with lychee popping boba and konjac balls. It will be served in a reusable purple cup. The drink isn’t inexpensive, it’s priced at 330 baht per glass.

By the way, there is a Fire Tiger branch in the Philippines at BGC. Unfortunately, they don’t have the “Resurrection Drink” in their menu but you can check them out on Instagram.
