Zombieverse (2023)

forced myself to put it on at first but turned out to be a good decision.

Although others seem to have a completely different few on the show I felt like it was 100% worth the overall rating of 9.

At first I was bored and just scrolling through Netflix, I had finished watching another zombie drama and was in a total zombie mood. Zombieverse was the first show to pop up when I typed in zombie so I clicked on it. I noticed the filming was 'off'- nothing like a typical drama. It felt as if I was watching a reality show (which it sort of was?). I clicked it off that very moment and scrolled further for other series but I couldn't find anything so I just put it on, after one episode I was completely into it, I still didn't understand what it was supposed to be so I googled it and it made more sense which also made it a tad better.

Zombieverse is a mix between a drama and a variety show, most of it is unscriped and made out of the actors genuin decisions and reactions, there was ofcourse a basic script of some things they had to follow. (I assume the quests and such.) People, especially Redditors, will continue saying it was scripted but if you watch the show you know it's painfully unscripted- in a good way. In my opinion I think having an unique show once in a while won't hurt even if it didn't play out as you wished it did.

The cast was put together very well, there were people who i ha never heard of but also a few familiar faces, Lee Si-young who I recognized from Sweet home and Billie's Tsuki. Nevertheless, the combination of 'unknown' faces and well known people did not dissapoint or ruin the story at all. Alot of people seemed to hold a dislike towards a few cast members, like Tsuki; "She was so annoying." "I got so many second hand embarrassment from her.", There were of course moments were even I was like "Stop making sounds." or "Just stop screaming." but despite that she was a great person, always tried to include everyone which left with good results at the grocery mark parking lot.

Dex, who entered the show a bit later than the start group got a lot of screentime, he did very well, was sweet and caring and also took care of the others. He was always helping others and putting their safety before his own, in the store, on the parking lot, in the fabric, in the themepark and on the water. Even with his 'cold' look and introverted personality he was someone to rely on.

Many people seemed to find Na-rae useless, which she was at first, with the injured leg but after she got bitten she helped out a lot. Her teamwork with Seong woo was amazing and even though she sometimes was doing a bit too much it didn't irritate me at all and I was able to completely ignore that.

I am very neutral about Si-young and Patricia, Si-young seemed to be a bit more helpful at times but I completely understood Patricia's struggles. I was very pleased with both actors and the teamwork they had with the others.

Jonathan was also a very neutral member, his death didn't really do me much, he didn't have a very negative death, rather he was able to joke with the others and still laugh. He didn't do much throughout the entire show but at times was still very helpful.

DinDin was helpfull from the very start, he was a tad more scared but who wouldn't be if zombies just suddenly appeared? He helped at the gas station but also knew when to not help, he overall has helped the others and especially Tsuki a lot. That brings me to Tsuki's and DinDin's teamwork, DinDin helped her multiple times and in return Tsuki did the same for him.

now the last person, and potentially the most relatable member; Hong chul. I believe most people held a love-hate relationship with him, he would always put himself first, leave others in dangerous situations and laugh. All that probably made him the funniest and most relatable person in show, imo. I dont think he is to blame at all, for laughing, leaving and saving himself, its the most reasonable and best thing to do in a life or death situation. He kept the mood good and also worked great together with Patricia, even after he turned he was still funny and unserious, which is a personality trait not a forced act.

I would not rewatch the entire show but there certainly are parts that I would definitly like to see again for shits and giggles, the Tagada scene but also parts on the parking lot or at the 'funeral'. Even in a normally seen bad situation they were able to make jokes and laugh which gave the show lots of + points, if there weren't jokes it wouldn't be enjoyable at all.

My closing statement is that I would definitely recommend it to binge watch on a boring weekend or watch it with family/sleepover with friends. If you don't understand anything in the show googling might help, I didn't understand the ferris roulette but after googling I was like "ooooooh." and it made the, kind of boring scene, better.

I really hope there will be a season 2 after that cliffhanger.

reality & zumbi uma boa proposta

logo que saiu que teria um reality de zumbi já me bateu o interesse então consegui termina-lo em 2 dias maratonei mesmo.

não sei se o elenco entendeu direito a proposta desse reality com uma imersão na historia, esperava mais apesar deu eu acha que ficaria muito melhor se não tivesse a historia mas ela é bem feitinha então ganha pontos comigo..

DEX um maravilhoso o homem fez tudo um pouco! tsuki super fofa e as caretas delas são as melhores!
dindin & hongchul não sabia quem era o mais insuportável e detestável deles dois, mas que tem que ter também no elenco
narae é ótima em tudo que faz consegui arrancar risada sem esforço nenhum só por ser ela mesmo kkk

RECOMENDO se você gosta de reality e zumbi.

SPOILER: apesar de algumas coisas funcionarem muito bem aqui como a missão do mercadinho & estacionamento outras foram bem chatinhas como o final da roda gigante
