Zomvivor

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?

zomvivor is best ✨?

💬 Just finished watching Zomvivor and wow — I LOVED it! 😍 It’s totally different from every zombie movie I’ve seen before. The mix of emotions, fun, and suspense was perfect. All the leads were amazing, but Boss aka Phu totally stole my heart! ❤️ Nunew was absolutely incredible too, such a powerful performance. Every character had their own spark — definitely worth watching! 🧟‍♀️🔥

Zomvivor isn’t your usual zombie movie — it’s something fresh, emotional, and full of life (even with all the zombies 😜). Loved every character, especially Akk Phu and Nunew. A must-watch for anyone who loves thrilling and heartfelt stories! 💥

Zomvivor completely redefines the zombie genre! Instead of the typical horror-only vibe, it blends humor, emotion, and character depth in such a refreshing way. Every lead actor brought their A-game — the chemistry and acting were top-notch. Boss is amazing once again,he added so much charm and intensity to the story. Nunew was outstanding as always — expressive, natural, and totally captivating. Each character had their moment to shine, making the whole show unforgettable. If you’re tired of repetitive zombie plots, Zomvivor will surprise you in the best way possible. 🧟‍♂️💖

It definitely needs a Season 2 . Even though all the characters are all not likeable i really hate Mook the most like she helped free Pao when he was locked up for trying to kill them and that lead to many of the people dying but at the last when professor came to take Ning and Non , she ran and infected Non with the Auntie 's blood which will turn him into a zombie . Like I was so angry and sad at the same time 😡😭 . I was watching with my sister's and cried at that part . At the last clip they showed Non tied up to a chair and there was many zombies surrounding him . I actually cried like full on cry 😭😭😭

I need a season 2 do you hear me DMD?????

Here goes my poetic headline. Honestly I wasn't expecting it to be this good especially as the title felt a little campy. There were elements in the show which I absolutely devoured. Definitely there were some things that could have been different but overall it's a much watch.

Plot wise it was quite interesting. They had the typical start of a Zombie apocalypse universe and how it all started with one biochemical test but as the story went they added some new elements to the Zombie verse. The idea of Zombies having emotions and how they were repeating their course of action made so much sense. As usual there will be annoying characters and some really made me wanna slam the screen. What I loved the most about this show and what in my opinion sets it apart from other zombie shows I have watched is how it is not just a bunch of Zombies hurling at humans and them just fighting and trying to survive. They have enough time to elaborate and depict the whole situation that was going on as well as letting the main characters having a background story and space to develop. The ending made me loose my mind but I am glad they left the door for a potential s2.

The acting was definitely great. There has not been a single moment where it felt dull. I loved Boss's character so much (I am just in love).

Props to the crew for such amazing arrangement. The budget was there and they utlized it well. The zombie makeups were done with so much of care and I loved how much attention they pay to everything.

This definitely came as a surprise to me from DMD. What started as an interest to see my favorite cast turned into a rollercoster of emotion and trauma.

What do you think?

ep 5???? big forehead character decide to do cheerleading in the middle of no where, FULLY KNOWING SOUNDS WILL BRING IN ZOMBIE. When zombie came, he acted like the hero.... which make no sense because it was his fault in the first place. like huh??????? can't even take this show seriously. tons of missing details on zombies. why do they still have full clothes and not torn up clothes??? imo, im just here for Boss thats it. :) the show is cringe but okay. The whole show is rage bait, they will purposely do something stupid. Also it is too draggy. The zoom in and zoom out is completely like Bollywood drama where 10 second scene can be dragged out to 10 minutes. I feel my iq drop after watching this show. Its like seeing dumb, dumber and dumbest brain storming to see who has the dumber idea.

Most idiotic series of the year

The fuck was that series Zomvivor (2025)? I’ve seen tons of zombie, apocalypse survival stuff from around the world, but this was just shit, man. Pure brainrot, pure ragebait. The most cringey drama of the year, and the characters were the dumbest things in it. It felt like the story was written by an AI, or the director told a rookie “Just do whatever you like, man.” Every character acted like the script said “be stupid,” and the plot was so raigebait I wanted to go there and kill those characters myself. What the fuck is even that, man? Was the investor trying to launder black money through this series? What was Netflix thinking before approving it? And the producers didn’t even stop to think this type of shit could become popular. Only I know how the fuck I completed this series. Now I need to watch something good to refresh my mind.

Two years too late....let's go.

Another entry in the ever-growing world of DoMunDy – and an easy target for criticism.
Yet another project that someone clearly believed had to be perfect — so much so that it took almost two years after being announced before anyone dared to actually make it.

Because of that, I see no reason to hold back on my viewing experience or my reaction afterward — and that’s a good thing. I think we all need this kind of project every now and then.

Considering how long this one has been in the works, I really wanted it to succeed. But looking at The Next Prince, I’m afraid it might not. We’ll see to what extent the production company can replicate the success of Khemjira, which as a series seemed to hit the mark.

*EP 1*
+ production quality
- typical subpar attepts at dragging emotions out of audiences
+/- gore/disgusting: + abv avr for horror movies, below avr for Thailand AV
+ thrown into the act / - Start like this, in this specific genre, I am not convinced it is the best start. It is confusing at a place where it should actually explain to us what happened. I am not gonna watch lunatics and gore running around a school for no reason.
- And then again the intro where the credits roll - the dead characters in here are just one and a half point better than the one we have seen in Revamp. I'm just really not a fan of something that looks dead and unalive, even if it is for a series that is about unalive non-human creatures. But yes, the AI-generated colours and the "human hand" helped here. But stil, meh.
- You have there too many "important" characters and something feels off. As if via production quality you really try to give it the impression of being expensive but when the camera goes to main actors it just feels incredibly cheap. To be fair, it's not the worst I have seen from Domundi/Mandee, but...It is still present, and it is as well not the worst I have seen in this genre, so you have plus points in there at least.
+ It starts to feel like a drama. It's not there yet, but it starts at least to be promising.
- The blue night seems to be too blue, and the color palette is just somehow off, as if you were trying to present us young people in military service, but we are watching a zombie series, so what is your focus point here? And it helps to ground the series, but I'm afraid it's too grounded. I don't really like the color palette, even though on and off itself it's not bad, but it just doesn't feel suitable.
Then again, it seems you are trying to ground us more with colors and attempt at atmosphere than with actual explanation what is going on and why. And that's not enough.
- What is even more unsatisfactory for how slow you go? I have the feeling of this being too fragmented. I am not sure you can work properly with big spaces. You know, even that you need to learn for audiovisual language to work.
20/100
*EP 2*
Again, I have this feeling that this gets too slow at places that no one cares about and don't want to see that and that's not a good idea most of the times. I start to have this feeling that nothing stands out in this series which is a problem too.
Don't count on people being used to specifcs of this genre. Even if people are used to this genre, you should still explain it properly. As you know your target audience used to be women (92-95 %) who are after these boy love genre actors and most of them probably don't watch this genre regularly and it might get confusing. So the least you can do is actually explain and introduce all of these aspects properly, fully. Not skim through it.
On the other side, if you know you have there important people that audiences can actually be interested in (90 - 95 % are there bcs of them), you should use it in your advantage and make them the focus points and not giving space of 20 minutes for something that really no one cares about.
+ I think I should thank you for killing someone I don't even care about (?)
20 / 100
*EP 3*
+ I guess they found the magic of silent terror and I think in the department of over-dramatization this one is not the worst.
? Still too many important people.I even dare to say this might work way better atmospheric-wise if they made out of it a regular horror movie, locked them (characters) in a hotel or big house, and then all the running here and there without the disgusting aspects and supernatural, unrealistic, dead monsters running after them. It would make more sense, it would be maybe more interesting.
Off script: Okay, what is even James doing there? I thought he ran away from acting to his brighter future in singing career. So he's like indecisive or what?
- Mostly uninteresting.
20/100

*EP 4*
+ I like here performances of girls and older actors.
- Many of the male actors and their performances are blending tgt.
- There is a significant step /diference between support characters and important characters in acting abilities.
+/-/? I skipped a lot. I did not miss anything.
+/-/? I guess ZNN fans or MaxNet fans must be elated, cause there was another series that we waited for for two years and there is nearly nothing out of these two main company actors, or it is so blended with other situations and characters it is as if they were not present.

*EP 5*
+ Wow, here we go, one potentially homosexual scene. And from none other but our main couple, hooray. It's actually a nice scene, it brings a little bit of humanity into this shitty, unhuman world. It is nice to be here and there reminded of lies and things that d not exist IRL between strangers. 😁
- Which brings me to another problematic part of this. This really did not have to be a series. Give me the material and I will cut it out for you into max two hours, but I believe it's gonna be hour or hour and a half. Not a freaking seven hours. Why? What for?
Okay, we have here even emotional acting. Maybe if you have showed a little bit of this in TNP, the ratings would be much better now. ALAS, it is what it is and it won't be anything else.
Okay, for the last scene, the scene did not make sense at all, so let's pretend it did not even happen.
15/100
+ ..eeehh... good production?

*E6*
Okay, again, queue of distractions, and things that people don't care about, and nothing out of the things that people do want to see, and it intensifies probably for us to disconnect with the story, and not to mourn the fact that it's gonna be over soon. I guess we should not feel like celebrating, right? with other couples, then you have here extra special proof that that's a not good idea. I don't even know why would you test something like that in the first place. However, I guess I would not have to have more warnings than this. Look, it's not that it is bad and we all like these actors and those who we are used to seeing all ar all fine alone as side characters, even if important ones. They kind of work anyways. But all of those that are in current ships, I mean, I'm not the specialist here, so maybe other people will express their opinion on this. I have seen some opinions already in comment section. But... I mean, there are only those few who are, again, vsible/strong enough to make it.
I just wouldn’t experiment with that too much — after all, you’ve built your brand around those couples. Just saying.

*EP 7*
Okay, there is this genre-conditioned issue I have with this series and that is at the beginning of episode 7 I expected much more brutal deaths and there are still too many people alive. I don't like it. It does not sound right.

And then again, for the last 2 minutes, let's not forget to be dramatic, right? The Sophie’s Choice, which kid to kill? Let's kill both babies!

Why would they even try to hold the door .. if they didn’t need to be held in the first place? Then… the whole magic will be forever and for all eternities left unaswered as the eighth wonder of the world that left me... truly speechless.
+ Praise to the mask dep.

After further consideration I give it plus two points for no specific reason but that I just discovered that this is probably not my favorite genre. I mean with werewolves --- no it's still bad but I mean with vampires, there is some hope but like what hope you have when there are just unalive undead whatever un- people running around screaming or gurgling, they are chasing after you, you are running away from them. There is no point in that there is no anything in it, only hopelessness packed in gore and disgust, ... I probably don't like zombie movies, how could I actually like a zombie series. I mean maybe it is still waiting for me to discover.
So there are those two plus points for nothing. (Okay, no, wait a second. I actually remembered two AVs with zombies that I liked. Not the zombies, the movies, I mean.)
Happy now?

Phuvivor…

Zomvivor avait tout du projet abandonné après plus de trois ans sans nouvelles. Jusqu'à ce qu'un teaser relance la machine… Dans l'idée, ce n'est pas tout à fait ce que j'avais imaginé. Mon niveau de satisfaction zombiesque n'est pas à son maximum, cependant, j'ai passé un bon moment.

Les histoires de zombies peuvent être redondantes, car elles finissent souvent de la même façon : les survivants survivent (pour la plupart) et les zombies se font botter le cul. Naturellement, l'enjeu est dans la façon dont les survivants vont faire face aux situations merdiques à venir. Le problème de Zomvivor, c'est le nombre de personnages : 24 étudiants séparés en 3 groupes. En temps normal, on préfère les petits groupes qui se rencontrent, s'allient pendant un temps et se séparent, au fil des épisodes. Cela permet de changer les dynamiques et le rythme. De créer de nouveaux liens et développer certains personnages. Ici, il est question de deux groupes principaux (qui se tirent dans les pattes), et d'un troisième qui n'est qu'une transition comique malgré son potentiel. Pour faire court, il y a trop de monde pour exploiter le potentiel de chacun.

Certains réfléchissent, d'autres sont bêtement idiots et le reste est un danger public. L'autre débile qui court partout et garde le téléphone sur elle ? … C'est une invasion de zombies, on sait qu'ils réagissent au bruit, et il existe une fonction formidable depuis des années : le mode silencieux. C'est quoi ton problème ? Elle m'a énervé, parce qu'elle était la représentation parfaite de l'imbécile égoïste ! Quoiqu'il en soit, en raison du trop grand nombre de personnages, on n'a pas le temps de s'attacher à eux. Lorsqu'ils meurent, et bien… Ils meurent, voilà tout ! Il n'y a pas d'implication émotionnelle, c'est dommage.

Toutefois, ce casting cinq étoiles vaut la peine ! Boss Chaikamon Sermsongwittaya (Phu) m'a prise au dépourvu. C'est celui qui tire son épingle du jeu, pour moi. Je ne le considère pas comme un mauvais acteur, mais il n'a jamais eu de chance avec ses personnages (bien qu'il ait prouvé (malgré la nullité de l'histoire) être plus qu'un beau visage dans The Boy Next World). J'ai vraiment eu le sentiment d'enfin saisir son talent. Il n'était pas réduit à un énième beau brun ténébreux qui porte divinement les jeans.

Yim Pharinyakorn Khansawa (Thi) et Tutor Koraphat Lamnoi (Win) ont aussi été une surprise. J'ai réalisé que je n'avais jamais terminé un seul de leur projet respectif. C'est agréable d'enfin apprécier une série entière. De plus, j'ai apprécié revoir Tommy Sittichok Pueakpoolpol (Jean) que je n'avais plus vraiment vu depuis Why R U?. Par contre, tous les non-dits autour de NuNew & Zee sont fatigants à ce stade. Il n'y avait pas besoin de tricoter quelque chose autour d'eux, laissez-les respirer bon sang ! Ils ne vont pas faire chuter les actions de Mandee s'ils sont dans un même projet sans être impliqués, sentimentalement. Cela dit, NuNew a livré une performance intéressante, tranchant avec ses rôles habituels de minets au sourire niais.

Malheureusement, il y a un déséquilibre avec les personnages féminins. Ning (Janistar Phomphadungcheep) n'a rien d'une héroïne, si ce n'est le titre et le fait d'être la fille d'une scientifique. Prao (Praew Chaisang Narupornkamol) est seulement méchante. Lily (Nink Chanya McClory) est morte avant d'avoir eu son heure de gloire (la tentative n'était pas terrible). Quant à Fah (Pang Buntarika Singpha), elle est une idiote égoïste (oui, elle m'a vraiment énervée). En soit, les gars sont solides et cool, les nanas sont vaguement utiles, sauf l'héroïne.

La temporalité est claire, mais la narration, qui fait mumuse avec des flash-back, n'est pas nécessaire. La cause de l'épidémie est toujours intéressante à connaître. Toutefois, elle n'a pas besoin d'être complexe, et encore moins d'être si mystérieuse lorsqu'elle n'est pas le centre de l'histoire. En tout cas, dans cette première saison, elle ne l'est pas. Un court prologue suffisait, d'autant plus que l'invasion est déjà en place. D'une certaine façon, le développement des personnages a été sacrifié pour alimenter un mystère connu de tous.

Malgré tout, j'ai passé un bon moment. Je suis contente de voir la Thaïlande créer de tels projets, en particulier avec des acteurs/actrices qui peuvent montrer davantage de leur talent, alors qu'ils peuvent sortir des rôles habituels. Seuls deux semblent réduits à être une paire. La musique était sympathique. Les effets étaient bons avec des maquillages efficaces, bien que quelques choix grossiers. Cela dit, rien d'irregardable. Le gore était mesuré, mais si vous n'aimez pas ça, évitez.

En bref, Zomvivor m'ouvre l'appétit, mais ne me rassasie pas complètement en raison d'un nombre trop important de personnages, dont plus de la moitié sont dispensables, ainsi que son final quelconque. Néanmoins, je retiens avec plaisir la photographie, la réussite des zombies et d'un excellent casting.

Opini saya

Ini jadi genre zombie ketiga yang saya tonton, sesungguhnya saya tidak tertarik dengan genre zombie karena saya sulit menonton adegan banyak darah. Awalnya saya ragu menonton ini karena genrenya namun saya mencoba menonto episode pertama dan ternyata masih bisa saya terima. Diawal menonton series ini mungkin akan membingungkan bagi penonton untuk mengikuti alurnya, tapi setelah mononton episode berikutnya saya paham. Detail yang dimasukkan pada series ini cukup memuaskan. Bagian favorit saya ada episode 7 pada saat Non dilema ikut Ning atau tetap bersama teman-temannya.
