Zambie Vaccine
I have been watching Jung Jae Young movies lately. All his movies has different plots and storyline. Sometimes I thought he is the director. He is the King of action/thriller. I have to write review here, because we are all waiting for Covid vaccines. Watch this movie, hilarious. Have some laughs. At the end all the zombies line up get zombie vaccines. Really funny. Didn’t want to give away too much info.By the way, If you like some action/comedy, JungJae Young has two other hilarious movies. Check it out.

No Horror No Comedy
The movie is completely overrated. I do dislike zombie genre but I enjoyed Train To Busan, #Alive, All Of Us Are Dead and few others in this genre. I also scare easily so this movie completely fails as a zombie horror flick. It relies completely on it being a comedy and it was terrible at that as well. It feels childish and silly and even dumb.The plot was unique so I will give them points for that and that only. The acting was so-so. To be honest, I disliked the family from the start since they were scammers risking the lives of others for their business.
The movie really has no redeeming qualities from start to finish. A waste of time in my opinion.

This movie is AMAZING. I'm not a die hard fan of zombie genre.. but this... is good. Lets not compare to Hollywood zombie movie style like Resident Evil series. But this movie brings you a different kind of zombie story. It has lots of comedy. I love how the writers create the plot and the casts were great. I watch this movie because of Kim Nam Gil.. but Jung Ga Ram surprises me with an almost no lines in the movie. His acting was great.
Each of the characters were portrayed really well. I would say the funniest is the "father" in this movie.. his immunity to the zombie virus really highlighted the whole movie.
I love how the made the ending. Its did not end as a cliff hanger kind of story. Also, the zombie make up is not that scary. Oh the oldies song they played throughout the movies added some classic style to the movie.
Overall.. great cast great story and great movie.
If you are looking for a light movie with zombie genre.. this is the one you should watch.. It engaged you from the start till the end.
Enjoy....

Quite fun despite some pacing issue and unlikeable characters
This movie is about the encounter of a zombie and a quite odd family living in a small village in the countryside. Each member of the family as well as the zombie has his/her own quirks making the encounter and subsequent adventures quite fun to follow. In terms of tonality, the film is really more parodic / comedic than horrific with a smalltown vibe as well.The casting was pretty good but I never fully felt connected to any of the characters. I was not rooting for their survival at all which is quite an issue given the zombie thematic. Most of the characters are quite unpleasant and I cannot help to feel that some of the narrative arcs and development would have been much more engaging if I liked them. I do not think that it is the actors fault but rather the writing...MVP of the movie is clearly the character of Nam Joo, the pregnant wife, played by Uhm Ji Won, she was fantastic !!!
The production was pretty good, you really feel the village atmosphere and the action scenes were nice. I wish it would have been much more gore and raw...But they went into another direction, more caricatural and comical, and were at least consistent following their filmmaking choice. The soundtrack was quite nice and set properly the ambiance.
I would recommend this to people looking for a "found-family" movie with a zombie twist. It is a rather original take on the zombie genre and is quite fun to follow despite some issue in its pacing. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of emotions and connections I felt toward the characters, I would have love to be more engaged... It is kind of a mix between 2 movies "A Werewolf Boy" and "Extreme Job", so if you enjoyed one of those, you might want to try this one as well!

Cabbages
I was hooked from the moment I saw the cabbages.And I don't know if this meant to be a serious movie or a comedy but I laughed most the way through this. There's a bit of everything, romance, drama tye random bit towards the end I won't mention but you'll know it if you've seen this already.
its Basically what I would class as the Korean version of Shaun of the dead. You might just be surprised how good it actually is. And the acting was perfect. I'd like to know just how many cabbages were eating during filming.
I'd give it a go :)

Hindi na masama
Zombie movie, wala talagang huhusay sa mga korean kapag zombie movies ang pinag usapan. Kung ang hanap mo ay "action" comedy at may "romance" aba ito ang bagay sa iyo, siguradong ikaw ay hahalakhak dito sa palabas na ito.Umpisa pa lang ng palabas na ito ay nakakatawa na, buong palabas ay hindi ako nawalan ng ngiti habang pinapanuod ko ito. Tapos ito pa, biruin mo saan ka makakakita ng isang gwapong zombie diba? Napakagwapo kasi hahahahahhaha anyways, ayon nga pag ikaw ay nalulungkot or may problema subukan mo ito panoorin kahit papaano'y ika'y liligaya.

Si te gustan los zombis y el humor Coreano debes verla, porque pasaras momentos super divertidos con las bromas clasicas y las courrencias de toda la familia, como cualquier otra que busca sobrevivir en este mundo de locos que es la tierra siempre.
