All of Us Are Dead

All Of Us Are Dead (2022) - for me it's interesting at first but then I was lost with what's the purpose or reason why I'm watching it, I realized this sentiment somewhere in the middle of the drama and for the sake to at least finished it has just become my motivation to continue watching. It’s extravagant in all aspects of the drama, especially the props and the make up, the set up but there are scenes that is suppose to be emotional but I didn't felt it somehow because I felt that there is something that is lacking. Some of the characters are also not utilized to its full potential that I felt regretful. There are too many characters as well.

Good first season.

All of Us Are Dead is the typical apocalyptic series which this time tells the story of several students and their fight to survive against zombies.

The premise may seem like deja vu but it's really entertaining. Especially since it takes place in a school, and sometimes we are even entitled to comic relief moments. The series really relied on good production, be it the zombies, the gory and violent scenes. As for the script, I mean, it's fictional but it makes sense, through and through.

The characters are so adolescent representation that it's funny, between impromptu jealousies, friendships, enmities, and love, it was human.

I also liked how much the series also describes human stupidity, like this streamer who goes to the zombie zone just to do live and gain likes and subscribers, it represents our time so much, and is sadly too accurate.

I'm not going to write more, I'll finish saying that the series is good and entertaining, I especially hope that a character will make his return, his character might of seemed dull to some, but he was loyal and combative even if quiet. I hope he is transformed like the new species of zombies (which are not really) and that he will perhaps bring more depth and side to his character next season.

Can't wait for season 2.

A Thrilling and Emotional Zombie Apocalypse

My first zombie Korean drama, and it did not disappoint! The storyline is both believable and innovative, with a well-thought-out setting that makes the school environment feel unique. While the drama does drag at times, each episode brings something new, keeping the suspense alive.

There are plenty of emotions at play, and the apocalypse is beautifully captured through impressive camera work. There is a romantic angle, but understandably, it doesn't take center stage in a story about survival.

A huge shoutout to the makeup artists and the actors who portrayed zombies—they absolutely nailed it! The attention to detail in their movements and expressions made the experience even more immersive.

With just 10 episodes, it’s a decent watch, and I’m anticipating Season 2!

Not rlly a review. I just want to share my brain juices. I mean, it kind of is a review. But don't take it to seriously.

I was really sad about finishing penthouse because I was trying to take forever to watch it so I could enjoy it some more, however I finally gave in and finished it. Then about 2 days later started watching All of us are dead.

Okay, so I never really bothered watching it when it first came out because I felt like it'd just be some basic zombie show. And at the time (compared to now after finishing penthouse) I wasn't really into all the blood #romancefreak. However, this has definitely expanded my drama needs to the point I will probably start searching for dramas like this. Before I was mainly only into romance (Because I am a hopeless romantic) however somehow, this show, that I finished in under 24 hours, has completely changed my view on everything for what might be forever.

I am seriously in love with Cheongsan that I might cry myself to sleep tonight. The show made me feel a mix of emotions that I cannot describe. From me gripping my chest at the intensity on a Tuesday night, to nearly crying my eyes out to the point I flooded my whole city.

Now personally about the cast, I would like to say they did an excellent job, maybe not as good as what I've seen before, however it was still empressive AND expressive. And ESPECIALLY the actor for Gwinam. I was on the floor shaking. But also, especially with the work of all the zombies. Even if some of it was CGI, (?) I can't imagine all the work it would take. Just imagine all the zombies walking around though. What I liked about the setting of the show is that it kind of made you feel like you were there. I don't know if that is just because sometimes I am very into a show to the point I imagine myself in the show, or if it is just because of the camera work and the use of long shots. For example the perspective of Nayeon when Cheongsan was in the room. And also when they decided to leave the rooftop, it made me want to be there, like experience it. I am a bit off a big horror fan, but I only really played horror GAMES not really watched horror movies other than classics like, i don't know, Annabelle...?

Even though she kind of barely didn't last, Nayeon was probably my favourite character, despite her wrong doings. But to be honest, it made her more likable. Because it kind of separated her from everyone. Like everyone was on one side, except for her. Which I just found interesting. When she died I was kind of upset. Before I started watching the show, I thought she'd be a half zombie, because I just for some reason thought she'd be one so when she died I was kind of upset, like.. I felt like I lied to myself for like 8 episodes. So I had a lot of reflecting. And I was kind of praying that she was just somehow alive in some way, but then when they were going to bomb everything that REALLY? HURT MY FEELINGS? BECAUSE I SAW MY GIRL NAYEON THERE.

Would I watch again? No. I am not putting myself through 12 hours of pain over and over again. Also my attention span is horrible, and near the end, when it wasn't suspenseful as the other episodes, I did kind of get bored and get distracted. To be fair I was speaking to my friend whilst watching it however it was just, not as entertaining as the other episodes.

Honestly I was sad for all the deaths that happened in this show. whether or not I hated them.

I just rlly liked this show

Strong Start

I did NOT expect to watch this drama. The first time I saw the trailer I was terrified and had no intentions of watching it but after my friends pushed me to watch it, I gave in. 15 MINUTES into the drama I was already hooked. The Show was AMAZINGGGG the first 5 episode it was just so addicting. But after that, I guess I could understand why the show was dragging because they had to extend the cast to the military too and less toward the students. I am satisfied by the ending because I thought most of the characters would die and only one would remain but a lot of the characters survived so I was happy about that but some important characters did die and that was really painful. This is a drama you would binge watch in a few days because if you extend it or drag it. It may become boring because this drama starts fast-paced like most netflix thriller dramas. I highly recommend for stress relief because your mind will only be worried about what will happen next in the drama rather than your outside world.

Watch it you won't get bored for a single second

Namra: Lazy mary sue character. She has a power due to being a hambie but we see this at the latter half of the drama when she beats gwinam at the roof. You see she has a superhuman power yet she never acts up to save others first, only at last moments. She can hear voices from far, but she doesn't hear all voices like she heard announcement she didn't hear gwinam in construction site which is so inconsistent. Once they were walking down the street and namra stopped everyone and started listening. She was hearing zombie voices. People were like what are you hearing girl. But she is slow af. She said run away. They were like why. She said zombies are coming. One girl asked how many of them are coming. She started counting 1 2 3 4 5... Counted till 11. I swear to god if they kept walking instead of stopping nothing would change. Also the actress playing her, she doesn't suit a supposedly cold and unliked character. Her facial expressions are way too cute. Especially with pouting 24/7.

Suhyeok: Boring character who never lost a fight. A male mary sue. He was supposedly hanging out with bullies but he was portrayed as an angel which is so unrealistic. Cheongsan on steroids.

Onjo&Cheongsan: Them, their friends and their parents were useful for storyline and storytelling but them not having much depth didn't bother me. Not a favorite but they were nice to watch.

Eunji: She was the most entertaining character to watch. Also the one with the most deep character. It was nice to see how for her the school was a hell while for her bully it was heaven. I want to see her take revenge like in kill bill. I want to see more of her at the second season. I want her and gwinam to face each other. The actress playing her is talented cause she literally looks insane and i was scared while watching her eat chulsoo.

Gwinam: A bully who is not a confident person. Actually that could be said for all bullies. It was fun to watch him. He is a good antagonist.

Friends: They were nice to watch. Also i liked that they didn't portray fat guys as  filler characters for diversity like western shows, but actually gave each of the characters including them a personality.

Commander: What a dumb ass. He did the right thing and the only thing doable at that moment and committed suicid3 like an idiot.

Detective and police: They only had one job didn't need to drag it that long.

Onjo's dad: He died too early for someone as clever as he is. But it was nice to see how he helped his daughter even after his death with those ribbons on trees.

If you want to start with Zombie apocalypse series you should try this one! ❤️

Well for me, the series is good and interesting. It's not that you'll get thrilled every second. At first I know the title itself will tell the story but it's so hard to believe that the main characters will die ( though it wasn't reveal if it's really true or maybe he is still alive and become 'hambie' ) it's so heartbreaking for me to see how this series end like that.

There are so many questions need to get answer. It's just the series has lack of creative plot unlike on movie World Ward Z, Train To Busan, Flu though most of them were almost a sad ending too but they have the best ending! They find the antidote and find the solutions that will guarantee a HAPPY ENDING for everyone. So I need Season 2 to get clarify on every single details.

What I'm talking about is the story is a typical zombie apocalypse where the character need to survive. But deep inside it will also tackle about the importance of friendships and family, that bullying is BAD! and the real problem of the society.

I really like this since the character is a students cause Im a student too, I can easily relate and adapt to the story, but don't expect this will be good as World war Z, and other popular zombie apocalypse movie, cause the ending still aches my heart million times😭! But I recommend this for everyone

A nice zombie drama but nothing more

I heard a lot about "All of us are dead" and my expectations were indeed in the drama. However, I think it's not a memorable drama: it was nice to watch, there was some suspense, some gore but the story is really very (too?) basic.
I would even say that there are quite a few inconsistencies in the writing... but that's not disturbing since it's not meant to be a deep drama and known for being intelligently written.

What I liked:
- The suspense left in each episode: very good endings each time that make you want to know what happens next.
- The special effects: zombies, sets, make-up, framing, editing.
- The fact that we get to know the different characters as they are really in danger.
- Being able to skip the long, uninteresting scenes and still understand the drama without being lost.


What I didn't like:
- The fact that we don't feel any sympathy for the characters who have been harassed and that they are the real black beasts: why?
- Moments in the script that don't make sense: characters who take actions for nothing and the show tries to justify it but it's not coherent. Many questions that remain unanswered and yet are central to the drama? The explanations of the origin of the virus and its evolution given by the scientist are vague, incoherent and really, we have the impression to be taken for fools.
- We follow several people at the same time, some of whom have no interest whatsoever? We focus 3 halves of the episode on characters who don't exist anymore right after and yet, they don't die... they are just erased from the scenario?
- Unnecessary scenes too long

To sum up, watchable and enjoyable but don't expect it to be the drama of the century as some people say! Have fun!

A Very Good Zombie Watch

I loved how the All of Us Are Dead zombies we're similar to those in Train to Busan, the characters even acknowledging this. The zombie actors and affects were fantastic. The characters were compelling, each with their own motivations. However, I felt that Gwinam wasn't as threatening as he could have been. Until his last fight with Cheongsan, I never felt like the characters were in that much danger, they would just throw him off the school building and go back to their business. I never really felt bored watching it, despite many scenes of just characters talking. I was shocked when they "killed" Cheongsan (I will die on the Cheongsan lives hill). Overall, I had a blast watching All of Us Are Dead and am excited to see what they do with season 2.
