Worthy Halloween Binge!
First of all, this is actually a great series and totally worth the almost three-year wait. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much at first, but I was excited to finally get a Thai zombie apocalypse drama — and I ended up binging the entire series in one night.
I really appreciate Domundi’s effort and budget here. The production quality is impressive — from its cinematography, scriptwriting, directing, to editing — all handled with care. The lineup of actors is stellar, and everyone delivered such convincing performances. The pacing is also spot-on: enough suspense without dragging too slow or moving too fast, with unexpected plot twists that kept me hooked. I especially loved the smooth transitions between past and present scenes — they were so well executed.
The biggest highlight for me is the “cure attempt gone wrong” trope. I like how the show cleverly blends real-world science into a fictional context — it makes the story feel grounded yet thrilling.
There are a lot of characters, but surprisingly, each one serves a clear purpose and brings life to the series. Some moments and characters really stayed with me — the mother-children arc, the cheerleading and Lily scenes, Pao’s mental relapse, the infamous alarm phone scene, and of course, the Ning-Non ending.
The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because of the cliffhanger ending (please, let there be a Season 2 soon!) and a few small plot loopholes here and there. But overall, Zomvivor is a refreshing, high-quality take on the zombie genre — and one of the best Thai dramas I’ve seen in years.
