Lots of promise, but slightly unfulfilling

I waited THREE YEARS for this and will say, I enjoyed every minute of it. That being said, I really wished they just made this a longer series and actually finished it! The idea of a season 2 is great, as long as I don't need to wait ANOTHER 3 years. I really enjoy the route they took with the cause of the zombie, but I'm wary of a season 2 because zombie shows only have a few ways they can end. Normally I'd give a summary, but really it's your typical zombie apocalypse breakout - we're following students at a university that are trapped at the epicenter of a zombie apocalypse, and the remaining survivors better find a way to fight the zombies (and not each other) if they want to survive.

This was a super fun, relatively short spooky Halloween watch. It had SO many good actors, and the plot was super interesting. Yes, there were a few too many characters and no way to know them all, especially with some of them feeling unimportant. I think they could've cut down on some of the characters to make the deaths more meaningful (why would I care about a character dying when I don't even know them?) I'm super excited about the idea of a season 2, but really just wished they dropped all of it at once instead...especially after letting all of us wait so long for season 1. Still, I thought the zombies were super creepy (running zombies are SCARY) and fun to watch, and that the actors did a great job. I loved the back and forth between present day zombie apocalypse and the past on how they got to that point. The twists in their personal lives were SUPER fun to watch, and I really enjoyed it. I know people assumed that this would have more romance, especially since ZeeNunew, MaxNat, TutorYim, and KengNamping are all in it, but don't get your hopes up - this is a horror zombie show, not a romance. Still definitely worth a watch for the creepy spooky vibes! But be warned: you will be ending on a cliffhanger, and who knows when/if there will be a season 2.

A nice effort

Let me start by saying that the production value and cinematography are incredible. Zomvivor looks amazing, and that deserves to be praised. The effects and zombie makeup are also top-notch.

The thing with zombie shows is that the zombies themselves aren’t usually the most interesting part. Sure, you can add some twists — as this show tries to do by asking whether the person is still “in there” — but in the end, they still behave like the zombies we’ve all seen before. What makes a zombie story compelling, at least for me, is how the living react: how they handle the situation, their dynamics with one another, and whether they’ll find a way out. Unfortunately, Zomvivor doesn’t spend enough time on those relationships before everything goes to hell, and that’s where it falls short.

It’s the same problem I had with All of Us Are Dead (which I admittedly haven’t finished, so maybe I’m missing something). That show throws you straight into the outbreak and the horrors the students face. People die, and it’s tragic, but not because we care about them. We barely know who they are or how they relate to each other. Zomvivor has that same issue. We’re told that Jean and Poa are like brothers because they grew up in the same orphanage, but the show never shows it. We’re told that San and Ning are dating, yet there’s zero romantic chemistry between them.

The one moment that really worked for me was when Ning looked around the room and saw Lily and Win holding hands, comforting each other; Thi and Thorn sleeping side by side as brothers; and Ning herself holding Non in her lap. That scene captured real warmth and connection.

I understand why the creators chose to throw us right into the chaos. It’s a refreshing change from the usual zombie formula, where everything starts before the outbreak. But personally, I prefer beginning before the fall. It gives us time to understand who these people are and why we should care when things go wrong.

Now, about the characters. First, all the actors gave strong performances. Whether I liked their characters or not, they did justice to the material. I especially want to praise Jimmy, Nat, Janis, Boss, and Tommy. I don’t have time to discuss everyone, so I’ll focus on the ones that stood out, for better or worse.

Poa is, to me, the most interesting of all of them. He doesn't get a lot of screentime, and his story arc needed a lot more depth, but this is how I interpreted the character. Ever since his whole family died in a tsunami, he's been living with this survivor's guilt that has caused severe depression, which has to medicate. Lately, he had been doing a lot better and had gotten off the medication, until the outbreak happened. Seeing people die right in front of him while he couldn't save them triggered that survivor's guilt and depression again, leading him to slowly lose himself and bring others down with him. He definitely got on my nerves a lot, but his character is fascinating. But this is how I interpret him. The show doesn't actually say this out loud. It doesn't have the time to develop him, which is such a shame.

Nat really surprised me. I wasn’t fully convinced by his acting in past projects, but he was fantastic here. I loved Night’s character and Nat’s performance, even if Night didn’t get enough focus in the main storyline.

As for the cheerleader squad, I found them ridiculous and unnecessary. I adore the actors, but their subplot was too silly to take seriously, though I suppose they’re there to lighten the tone once in a while.

And don’t even get me started on the whole San-Non-Ning situation. That’s a conversation for another day

Overall, I’m genuinely excited for a potential season 2. There are interesting storylines in motion, and I hope the writers take the time to invest in their characters, not necessarily through big arcs for everyone, the cast is too large for that, but through small, meaningful moments like the one I mentioned earlier. Those details go a long way.

Much more better than I expected

I actually like it. It is not just an empty shell wrapped with a fancy survival apocalypse theme and it actually had meaning. I like some of the real points, like it is always the working class that gets the shorter end of the stick while the rich are trying to RULE THE WORLD and how they can't use the vehicle just because almost all of the new vehicles are using push-start instead of key. I like the characters have complex and contrast, and no one is just truly a Good Samaritan nor an ultimate villain, which makes me feel real and not fairytale-ish. Another point is that there were no forced or unnecessary love line, everyone is just focusing on survival (fans please don't come after me) The build-up to the climax in the last episode is phenomenal. I am just glad that i didn't wait for 3 years for nothing.

Glad to know that it is confirmed there will be a Season 2, can't wait to see the story develop further (I am just not sure how much we need to wait this time LOL)

Another win for DMD after Khemjira, very good.

TENGO MUCHO QUE DECIR
hay muchos personajes con un desarrollo uff como phu, mook, pao, non, sun, earth, una joya, pero despues tenes a los re pelotudos de ning, jean y san que AY POR DIOS los odio. Empezando por Ning q auna pintaba revolucionaria es igual a todos las otras mierdad, jean q no se q le pasó desde la muerte de pao (que si, obvio, entiendo que se murio su hermano) solo le importa ning (y ponerla), basicamente le arruinaron todo el personaje por una mujer. Y DESPUES TENEMOS AL CONCHUDO DE SAN nonono como lo detesto ojala se mu3ra si sacan mas contenido.
Punto a favor por mook y phu como lideres
Muy buenas muertes, supieron a quien, cuando y donde matar para que duela pero siga teniendo sentido y no sea matar por matar (como con pao, korn, aek)
MAS VALE QUE HAYA TEMPORADA DOS PORQUE LOS
MATO A TODOS

Carried by Cast, Powered by Chaos

I couldn’t help but compare this series to Abadi Nan Jaya (The Elixir), mostly because I watched them back to back in the same week. And for me, Abadi Nan Jaya still wins. What surprised me, though, was seeing how much higher this show’s rating is in comparison. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. People aren’t watching this series to deeply analyze every detail or pick apart the writing, they’re watching it to be entertained. And in that sense, it works. It’s the kind of show you binge without thinking too hard, and I think that’s exactly why so many people rated it generously.

The characters here are way more annoying than the ones in Abadi Nan Jaya. And weirdly enough… I didn’t hate that. The chaos, bad decisions, and straight-up frustrating personalities actually made the show easier to binge. I finished it in two days, mostly because I kept thinking, “Okay, what dumb thing are they going to do next?” This isn’t a show where you get super emotionally attached to everyone, but it keeps you watching through sheer momentum. It’s more about reactions than reflections.

If there’s one clear area where this series beats Abadi Nan Jaya, it’s the cast. Let’s be real, the casting is stacked. Mandee really said, “What if we put every BL actor people recognize into one zombie series?” and honestly, that move worked. Seeing familiar faces pop up constantly was fun, exciting, and definitely part of why the show got so much hype. The actors all did a solid job, and their presence alone carried a lot of scenes. That said, great casting can only take a show so far, it boosts popularity, but it doesn’t automatically fix storytelling issues.

I’d say this series had potential, strong production value, and a cast that did a lot of heavy lifting. It’s not something I’d praise for its depth or character development, but it is entertaining, fast to binge, and easy to recommend if you’re just looking for something fun and chaotic. I get why people enjoyed it, even if it didn’t fully land for me. I’ll probably still tune in for a second season. If nothing else, I’m curious to see whether they take the story somewhere more meaningful or just lean fully into the madness again.

Be for real. ITS. SO. MESSY.

Setting aside the fact that there is a possible Season 2, this is weakly executed. Like the potential is there, but men the execution? Its sad. The writers, directors wanted to do A LOT, to the point that inserting it in a 7-episode serie feels so wrong. And being honest, it should have been called the "Mom-Ning-Non family story" because let's be real, almost HALF of the serie was just about their slowburn storyline, where in fact it was promoted and advertised as more than that.

I waited almost 2 years for this, and then I am completely sad about watching this. Maybe because of how it was promoted and being pushed by the company into all of their social media accs, my expectation went so high. But yeah, I learned my lesson.

I can see what the production want to do with this serie. They wanted to make it as unique as possible as there are a lot of zombie series and movies out there. But after watching it,they should gave it more time. Recheck script and screenplay.

The only good thing about this serie are the actors. They still pulled off the acting. They made me feel what I have to feel towards their characters by playing it so well. Commending Mark, Boss, Boun and Nunew here.

Overall; I dont hate it, but I don't love it nor like it either.

Will I recommend it? If you are a BL fan, maybe? But overall, still a yes (so you know what I mean) haha.

Some deaths could've been avoided

I am liking the story so far at least the source of the zombie apocalypse is not the usual suspect—virus. Some of the characters really brought their A-game into this, while some I believe are still warming up which is definitely not a bad thing. I loved Jean's story and how hurt he was losing Pao.

However, I would stand my ground on this one—some of the deaths in this series could've been easily avoided if they just started to run the moment they see a zombie. But maybe they're just showing how your fight or flight senses might not work totally in situations like this but you know, once or twice in the whole series I can forgive but not to the number I've seen here.

But, I would still give this a good review and definitely a must watch. I don't know if I'm too harsh but after watching The Elixir on Netflix before this I guess kinda made me expect something, you know? 😅

Love it, Domundi!!! Make more shows like this please.

The characters are lovable and irritating both

First of all, I love the acting.
The fact that some of the scene are very good is not doubt. I love Proa, thi and phu's character a lot. But, I have the same problem with this as I have with any other zombie movies or series, that is, the character trying to save that crazy out of mind friend and loosing other teammates because of it. Seriously I can't fathom why the hell after what Pao did, mook, that bitch would try to meet him, and yes after he ran away, he called hoards of zombies towards him and we lost Gus and Korn because of him.
I know Poa is a friend, but now he is a not in his right mind, either throw him out of keep him locked. Very irritating. I skipped his scenes because I got so irritated seeing characters dying because of that bitch.
So yeah, the characters are lovable and irritating.

OMG PERFECT!!!

So I'm gonna start by saying I might reveal some spoilers so if you haven't watched and don't want spoilers, please don't read!!!
Infact, I'm surprised, this is the top tier Thai series, everything is just perfect. My only problem is how they want to create their own version of zombies instead of the ones we know. At a point I needed English dub instead of subs in order to understand, but I decided to focus more on the subs and I understood everything in a min.

Some of the characters are so lame, I mean is a life and death situation and come and see FAH, PAO and those cheerleading team lol, they joke too much, the whole issue with PAO mental health was so so unnecessary in the first place, It shouldn't be an excuse here.
And I still don't understand Ning, maybe the next season (we all know we are getting it lol) will explain further because leaving her friends there was such a bad choice. Non had to pay the price for being born into their family.
I know they are going to bring up some lame excuses for his mother and Wirjo the next season, because Wirjo especially knew the consequences and still went ahead to use humans for the test, he didn't even use 1 but tons, not knowing the outcome for the drugs, why did they not put them in a lab to study them instead of just leaving them out there?

This series has really taken me by surprise the acting and everything was perfect, I only think they could do better with the storyline, we should see them trying to survive, running here and there instead of sitting and talking plenty. At a point I was wondering why they decides to leave their shelter when nothing is at stake because they were not going for food or anything and they know very well they can't kill all the zombies so it was better they stay at one place of nothing is at stake.
We should see them trying to look for food, water and other things.

Overall this is perfect, I know we can't wait for the next season, because that ENDING?...

My rewatch value is 5/10 because I'm not a fan of watching the same series more than one.
