Zomvivor

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.

Disappointing thing to watch after All of Us Are Dead

I was looking for the same sort of high stakes, action focused drama as All of Us Are Dead and since this is also a zombie school drama, it seemed an obvious choice.

I was unfortunately very disappointed. Whereas All of Us Are Dead (AOUAD) is moved forward by tense and dynamic emotional connections and the unknown of who will survive if anyone, Zomivor lacked the same appeals.

Zomivor starts seemingly in the hours following the initial outbreak and through flashbacks reveals what happened over the past year or so. This leads you right into the tension but with no emotional attachment to any characters to care for their success. Due to the fact that this takes place at a college campus across two separate schools and about 3-4 separate groups, the relationships are unclear and this downplays the tension between characters as drama is introduced as it’s hard to tell who is an acquaintance or a friend.

I think this production was overall very weak and the directing choices poorly made. However, the acting was fine and the special effects/zombies were appropriately creepy.

I find myself confused by the high ratings of this, and would love to know if it was as successful domestically as internationally. From the other reviews and comments I’ve seen online, I do think a large portion of people went into this because of a favorite actor.

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.

Honestly, I only wanted to watch it because it stars Boun and a few other of my favorite actors and I definitely don't regret doing it and making that decision. I expected it to be just a 7-episode zombie slog and I feared the worst, and for no reason. The whole series was brilliant. The zombies looked so incredibly realistic that I was speechless at how much I was blown away by it. Not to mention the acting, which added even more spice to it and I wonder why this series isn't talked about enough? This is truly a masterpiece and even though I said after Khemjira that Thais probably won't be that bad at making horror movies, I shouldn't have said probably, but DEFINITELY because this is truly a masterpiece and it will be one of my next favorite series. It's really wonderfully crafted and even more wonderfully acted. I hope there are more series like this that will make me unable to keep my mouth shut and I'll be blown away and that we'll see another season because like the ending? I NEED SEASON 2 ASAP!!!

Don't waste your time.

I’ve technically finished this series, but honestly, I didn’t enjoy it at all. Rewatch value? Absolutely none. The ending was extremely suspicious and unsatisfying — a cliffhanger that made me wish there would be no season two.

While the makeup and editing were visually nice, the plot itself was severely lacking. The constant switching between past and present made the storyline confusing rather than engaging. Instead of building tension or depth, it only added to the mess. What’s even more frustrating is that the cast is actually strong — every actor did well in their respective roles — yet the writing failed them completely. Each character’s storyline somehow became worse as the series progressed, which felt very unfair given their performances.

Watching this series didn’t feel enjoyable at any point. I felt uncomfortable throughout, to the extent that I dropped it at episode four and skipped straight to the final episode. Unfortunately, even the ending failed to redeem anything. It only confirmed my disappointment.

In the end, the only thing I genuinely liked about this series was the behind-the-scenes production. Everything else — especially the plot — fell flat. A good cast and decent production can’t save a poorly written and confusing story.

Good but not enough,the change from the trailer they released in 2023 is unreasonably released

It's different from the trailer in 2023,I'm okay if they didn't change their uniform in different clothes.The story and plot was CRAAAAAZYYYY!!! but Ning ang Non's mother being a humbie in the ending was lit,and Non's being infected is not acceptable that's why I need season 2.San and Non's relationship between each other is sus and Lily Kawin's friendship is so touching.Fah being stupid half of her screen time is giving me headache she didn't even throw the phone that has an alarm or ringtone the reason's why she and Lily found by the zombie and Lily getting infected. I didn't hate Pao but he didn't consider the safety of other even if though those who gets infected in front on him that he cared about died.Prao's attitude and mindset is cool and practical but being a rage baiter makes more possibilities of being eaten than getting safe.The owner of Patron is the most stupid character and selfish that's why Non's infected.I declare kidnapping because they only get Ning and the others didn't. Phu's mindset and aura says 'Perfect Protagonist'.

Loved it, but....

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Overall, I'm in love with this series. So many BL actors - most of them I knew instantly. I was on cloud nine to see so many in a single show. The plot was great too and I enjoyed the acting, even if some characters really never should have made it into college....if you've watched it, then you know who I'm talking about. Ring, ring.

Sadly, as much as I love this show that ending really annoyed me. I'll be honest, the main reason I LOVE Asian dramas is that *MOST* of them don't have multiple seasons because they don't need them. A good majority are all self contained and tell a full story in a single season. No cliffhangers, no waiting years for a new season (that might not even happen) or getting tons of seasons for something that should have ended a long time prior, leaving the show feeling pointless only to end with an extremely unsatisfying ending.

Asian dramas tend to bypass that nonsense and gives us a COMPLETE story that ends when it should. While there are expectations to this, I'd say 98% of what I've watched has been self-contained into one season and any sequels are usually just spin offs that focus on the side characters from the original. I prefer it this way and it's for this reason that I rarely ever watch American tv shows (as they either drag on when it shouldn't, gets cancelled, or we have to wait YEARS for a new season...not my thing, sorry). After watching Asian dramas, I never looked back.

What first got me interested in this show was hearing that Boss would be in it. Then I saw the rest of the cast and couldn't contain my excitement. I was so hyped. Sadly, I wasn't able to watch it until today. While it was everything I hoped it would be, the joy I felt was overshadowed greatly by getting the American/Western treatment at the end.

Seeing as this was released by Netflix, I don't know why I thought that this would be a full story in one season. They did it with All of Us Are Dead, Sweet Home, and Squid Game. Of course, this would get the same treatment. I really should have prepared myself for that, but I didn't. Had it not been a cliffhanger ending that we'll have to likely wait years for (if it comes out at all with Netflix's track record), then this would have been a 10/10 for me. Simply due to the end, I gave it a 9.5. It would have been disingenuous of me to do otherwise since it really was that good. When/if the story is ACTUALLY over, then I'll revise my score. For now, I can't help but be disappointed.

All that said, this is a fantastic show and I was hooked from the moment it started until the moment it ended. If you enjoy any of these actors, this is definitely a must watch, though I'd probably advise you to wait until it's actually completed, but who knows when that will be?
