I loved it!
Listen, it's not a BL. A lot of the negative comments about this show on this page are because people were expecting a BL, even though it was never marketed as one. Some of the comments it's obvious that people are watching this without being fans of other shows of its kind.
Honestly it's a great addition to the survival horror genre! I say this as someone who loves shows/movies about zombies or epidemic outbreaks, and also as someone who loves and has seen all the BLs that these actors are in.
Highlights for me - the acting is really great honestly. Shout out especially to Tommy, Boss, Yim for making their characters really believable. The chemistry between a lot of the stars was excellent! I mean they felt like friends or like enemies or like frenemies 😆 whatever they were trying to achieve with the character dynamics I really think they aced it.
There were some really good twists and turns. i won't spoil any of them, but I also like how some of the characters who pissed me off really got some karmic final moments.
Something I wasn't a huge fan of was a lot of the focus on the science and the adult characters in the flashbacks. I just felt like it took away some of the drama of the here-and-now. Also I'd prefer not to be explained all the ins and outs, because it's more tense to not really know wtf is going on.
I didn't mind the petty arguments, because they're in stressful situations and that's what happens in these shows. Think of All of Us Are Dead, Battle Royale, Night has Come... Theyre still young folks with a lot of drama in their lives and that doesn't miraculously disappear just because they've got bigger fish to fry. If that was the case no one would ever have petty drama, because surely there's always bigger fish?
Anyways, definitely worth a watch if you like this kind of thing or enjoy the actors. I really hope there's a second season, theres more story to be told! But considering how long it took for the first one to come out I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
(Also I wish BL fans would stop bitching about things not being the story they wanted to watch. If it's not for you that's fine, but shitting all over it or fast forwarding most of the story and then complaining about it being boring... How short is your attention span that you can't sit through 7 episodes of a high tension show without thinking it's boring? Maybe stop fast forwarding it and enjoy it for the experience it is...)
