If you liked Train to Busan, You will love this one.
This is a great drama. Don’t listen to people who rated it low. It was clear as glass in the trailer what to expect. I did not give it ten because the romance was really unnecessary. There wasn’t even a need for that. And also they wasted the SML. There wasn’t even a need for his role other than defending his love and kicking zombies. The ML was really good. Both FL and SFL were great too but it would’ve been so much better if they just kept SFL alone because the FL didn’t really have any part to play other than lose her loved ones. The other characters are all likeable too. This is definitely worth a rematch but I hope they will bring back the main lead again because the ending literally hinted it(kinda). So if there will ever be season 2, they can’t really take the story far with SFL alone. This is worth every hype for a zombie show. 12 hours of zombie survival mode???what more do you need!!P.S. Ep5 is literally best episode in the whole show. 1 hour of intense zombie chasing I’ve ever seen.

So ... the filming is good, the acting is good too. I don't blame the actors for those lifeless characters. I'm pretty sure they were told to act like this. The older actors were pretty disappointing though. I expected more from them. The comment is a mess like my head after watching this pointless series. POINTLESS is the right word I guess.
NOT IMPRESSED.

It’s so entertaining and will get you waiting for more
it’s such a good drama, I loved everything about it, the effects, how they also talk about another character, that how everyone’s connected with each other. I’ve rewatched this drama 4 times, and I’m so excited for season 2. I hope they continue with this quality because it was so good, every episode was amazing and wasn’t boring at all. I recommend it if you’re a zombie apocalypse fan, this will be definitely a great drama for you.Was this review helpful to you?
More Than Just a Zombie Drama
All of Us Are Dead really surprised me. I expected just action and zombies, but it gave so much more, I don't think I ever saw a zombie apocalypse show based on a school so it was really interesting, I even want there to be more zombies based on different places and how they get out. The characters actually made me care they didn't really dig into their stories but they gave slight hints about how their lives were so it was nice to see that, I'm glad they gave them a story too, and the emotions hit hard. It shows how scary survival can be, especially for students. The storyline was fast-paced but still emotional, and some scenes stayed in my head for days, I binged watched this show in a day I didn't even realize hours were passing by till I finished it and I still rewatch it as my "comfort" drama because it's so addicting,this one’s definitely worth watching.Was this review helpful to you?
It's so good!
I personally watched it a couple of months ago,and it's now my favorite k-drama! The acting is top-notch, and the storyline is perfect. I mean, I laughed,cried and everything in between. I love the actors so much, they're just made for the roles that they played. Definitely watching the second season as soon as it comes out hahaWas this review helpful to you?
Extreme highs and lows without enough heart.
I know nothing about the webtoon, but "All of Us Are Dead" being another Korean Zombie story was enough to pique my interest. The story itself feels pretty standard, with the expected tropes, yet still unique. The zombies are well done and realistically creepy, but something about this series disappoints and it was hard to put a finger on why while watching. Now that I've finished I think I understand what stopped me from loving this drama, the convoluted back story, and too many main characters that I didn't like or care about. It's hard to get invested in a zombie story if you don't care if they get eaten or not. Don't get me wrong, I loved the concept behind how the zombies were created, but that part didn't get enough focus, and I loved the school setting, but too many moments in this show seemed to drag out with too many characters that fell flat or were too stereotypical. The main one being Park Ji Hoo as Nam On Jo. Yes, she was a realistic teen, but her salty attitude throughout was more annoying than empathetic. Seeing zombies chase students gets super repetitive when you don't care enough about the people being chased.Nam On Jo is just one of the main group of students we follow through this fast escalating zombie crisis. There's Lomon as Soo Hyeok the strong and crushworthy, Jo Yi Hyun as antisocial class President Nam Ra, and Yoon Chan Young as Chung San, my favorite character, the classic sympathetic hero. The rest of the classmates are a mix of bullies, clowns, snobs, BFFs, and assorted personalities you're likely to find in your average basic teen drama, but because things escalate so quickly some characters felt too generic to make me sympathize enough. In the middle of the chaos, we are faced with who likes who and who resents who, cliques, classism, bullying, bonding, selfishness, and insane revenge but because I didn't care enough about most of their relationships or feelings, I was left waiting for the next "event" to happen to them. I will admit that there was always an epic event on the horizon, often a pretty shocking one that kept me wanting to watch the next episode, but the time in between those events got pretty boring. Maybe I was looking for more chemistry between characters, or a stronger origin story since visually the show does an amazing job. Nothing about the acting is bad, it's just not as emotionally exciting as it was visually exciting. The story itself is definitely heavy on emotional "moments" but they left me dry-eyed when they normally wouldn't so I must partially blame the cast. Unforgettable scenes filled with mostly forgettable characters are the result. There is an extremely memorable extreme bully (with a mullet) but the rest of the cast is pretty generic. Lee Yoo Mi as Na Yeon is one of the few characters with a clear story arc, likable or not. Don't even get me started on the baby, or the little girl... too many wasted and unexplored storylines to count.
Would I watch this again, Oddly yes. I think knowing the story and characters better may make earlier scenes better too. It's a shorter series, 12 episodes, which is also a decent binge length. I also probably missed some important key things in some episodes while distracted by the shock of the zombies. This seems like the kind of drama that may make more sense with a second viewing. I would definitely be tempted to skip many scenes, especially the bio teacher's video diaries, but I know there are probably details I missed while bored. I was also satisfied with the ending, although a little disappointed that the zombie mess had no clear resolution and felt rushed to an end.
If you are a zombie fan, then this is worth watching. At least for some good and terrible zombie survival strategies. If you hate gore and violence but love a good drama, you honestly may want to skip this one. This drama is gory and dark and explores survival instincts, trust, loyalty, and is pretty high on lost faith in humanity points, but without a major throughline besides basic survival, the story is the weakest part of this drama. It is suspenseful, but the suspense is based on who will survive and who won't. There's really great 'WTH did I just watch' end of episode suspense to keep viewers hooked, but the zombie lore was pretty messy with plot holes I would have noticed more if I cared more. Some of the social commentary is pretty heavy-handed and doesn't go deep enough to feel relevant, which I think is this drama's overall issue. The Drama "Happiness" did a better job of telling a zombie survival genre and social commentary story without being too preachy... shout out for Bae Hae Sun for having to go through Zombies again! lol! Although this time her character seemed more like a glorified cameo.
Overall, "All of Us are Dead" is another Zombie drama for our times. Since this pandemic has many people questioning how we deal with a sudden crisis, and Zombie movies are a great way to explore Human Nature and Instincts, the timing of this series is perfect. What I didn't expect was a story filled with high adrenaline-inducing zombies to feel so tedious and I certainly didn't expect to have so many 'rooting for the zombies to eat someone' moments. Arguing, running, fighting, arguing, more running, and more fighting... the fight and zombie choreography is pretty epic, but I wish this drama's emotional moments matched the action. I can definitely see this being left somewhat open-ended for the possibility of a season 2, which I would watch, but not with super high expectations. Not quite overrated, but not as good as it could have been. I just know if zombies come I'm avoiding all teens. lol!

Just finished All of Us Are Dead 😭💔This drama taught me so much about life 🫂
🩸 Why did her father sacrifice 😭 he could have run too… but still he gave his life 💔
🩸 Rescue team came on the rooftop but left them behind… that broke me 💔
🩸 Detective ajjusshi 🙌 true hero!! He saved 4 lives including a baby 🥺🙏
🩸 Bully boy’s ego 🤦 instead of saving himself, he destroyed more lives…
🩸 Pink sweater girl 😤 died because of her own mistake & dragged others too
🩸 Cheongsan 😭😭 he didn’t deserve to die, my heart broke there 💔
✨ Lesson: In real life, nobody will rescue us.
We must learn to survive on our own. Only mom, dad, true friends, pure teachers & real lovers stand by us forever ❤️

Best Zombie K-Drama Ever!
All of us are dead is the best Zombie K-Drama I ever watched. The story talks about Korean High School Students are struggling to survive from a zombie apocalypse. They join hands together and talk and try to figure out how to escape from the danger in the Korean School which most of their classmates and students in the School are already turned into zombies.I also liked the relationships and how Namra (Cho Yi Hyun) got bit and turned into a half zombie half human which she gained super strength to protect her lover and her friends and classmates from the zombies. The Music was also very good, so I give it a 10.
Can't wait for a season 2 of All of Us are Dead. Coming out very soon!
