Surprisingly good zombie BL : really captivating to follow
I really enjoyed this BL : it was a great departure from the usual and more generic run of the mill school and office BL. Not only was the main romance very well made, with a heart-fluttering build up and believable slow-burn, in the midst of very angsty scenes, but also all the side stories as well and what they were telling about humans, about good and evil, about greed and passion had a purpose...It all felt very thoughtful in the center of some badass action sequences.
This series was also really good at setting up its sci-fi lore as well as the horrific elements. The script was full of details allowing the viewer to feel immersed into the story. Even the introduction page, with the numbering of episode, displayed after the intro generic at the beginning of each episode, was full of elements carefully displayed. All those meticulous details really brought the series together (even if I have some feelings that AI might have been used for them unfortunately). The production value and making was good enough to make the overall apocalypse feels rather convincing. The soundtrack was unexpected, kinda moody and quite fitting (despite it being apparently AI, I did not find it jarring in the context of the series, though once again a shame it was the choice made).
In addition to a good production value, with some effective jump scare, well made zombies and effective visual makeup, I was also satisfied by the acting. The chemistry between the leads was sizzling. Same for the secondary relationship which low-key competed for me with the main romance because of how interesting its set up was.
The scenario might have felt sometimes a bit too "neat" or "easy". Even if I was happy with the ending, the strategy to get there felt also a bit doubtful. And there are of course moments where I felt a character could have been smarter...But those few little details never diminished my enjoyment of the series.
I would recommend this to people that are looking for a thrilling action and horrific series with a solid romance. It is foremost a good zombie series before being a BL. I am really happy overall we are getting more of those BL series going much further into genre, and that's great to see the creativity of production. The production team took a shot at something different and they nailed it ! I would totally be willing to watch a second season of it !
