Like seriously.. Having such a star studded cast.. but the Director/Writer totally screwed this up.. The writing is so damn poor that it made me so angry while watching it, had to stop multiple times before struggling to finally finish this drama. The 'supposedly' No.1 Prosecutor, A genius school topper/director of one of the biggest companies, one of the best detectives, a con artist who have conned a lot of people... How can the writer make all these people that dumb? Like every main character (except villains) seems to have zero ability to think in almost 'ALL' situations. The romance/comedy often felt forced, because they were not in a situation through out the drama to be in that type of comfort. In simple terms a predictable, annoying and unbelievably stupidly written drama with lot of famous actors.
Incoming ARMY attack. What they probably thought was going to help them in marketing by involving BTS, like other drama's are doing.. The whole thing backfired on them horribly.. and how come no one in the crew never thought that this was a bad thing and would end up digging their own graves? So many positive reviews for this before, was on the watch list.. and now? 🤦♂️
I think I understand what you meant now, but the word 'overrated' kinda does not fit here, I think that's what others were trying to say..
As for when Nam Ra did nothing when Na Young was killing, I don't think that's the case, She saw Na Young doing something near the stick, but I don't think anyone would 'think' Na Young would do something like that in such a situation, specially to a class mate who fought alongside them all this time.
What I believe is, she was only suspicions about it and was able to connect the dots only after seeing him turn. As I said she follows logic, there was no reason for him to suddenly turn that late.
The key point was no one would ever think Na Young would do something like that, it was technically a 'murder'.
As for her not fighting, I think it was because when ever she used zombie powers, her hunger would grow stronger and she had to fight to suppress it, she did not want to look like a zombie, because as she continued to use her powers, she slowly started turning more and more. I think that was the reason she didn't want to use her powers every time.
As for being the only one able to walk around zombies, I think till the end no one actually realized that zombies never attacked her, she herself perhaps was unaware of it. Technically she would have been able to go out and clear the way for them alone, but as I said her 'hunger' would not allow her to use strength continuously as we also so her getting weaker later.
I think her role was crucial to them escaping, as just her hearing alone was important for their survival, but clearly a non-violence person despite having strength and never 'fed' on humans or zombies was no match for the bully humbie who 'fed' multiple times and was on full strength.
Can you tell me who dies, spoil away. And what happens with the slight romance, who ends up with who?
The romance was a bit complicated, the ML liked FL.. Female Lead liked Su-Hyeok, Su-Hyeok liked Nam-Ra, Nam-Ra liked Su-Hyeok.
At the end, ML confessed his feelings to FL, so their relationship was a bit awkward. I think FL also had feelings for ML at some point, but ML never reciprocated her feelings and never admitted about his crush, thus she stopped considering him and had a crush later on Su Hyeok. Initially the FL was prioritizing Su Hyeok over everyone else, but after ML's confession her behavior changed quite a bit. (In a good way towards ML)
Su-Hyeok also confessed to Nam-Ra, and Nam-Ra also confessed her feelings, but others don't know about their relationship, but perhaps they probably can guess because they were sacrificing themselves for one another.
The character was supposed to be like that, she was abnormal to begin with.. She had no friends, she had rich parents, and she was kind of isolated from social life. People without social interactions behave pretty much the same way she did.
They are initially awkward, more factual and logical than emotional, slowly starts to get close to people who stretch a hand towards them first, and ultimately values the new relationships a lot more than normal people do.
I would love to know why you think Nam Ra character is 'overrated', just curious.
And definitely Chung San didn't die, he didn't turn immediately like normal zombies, he probably turned into a hambie, he used the other guy as a shield during the explosion, and hambie have abnormal survivability and healing, he mentioned also to FL, that they would talk 'tomorrow, a week later etc'.. multiple times. Nam Ra also mentioned that there were others like her. He might have even turned to something unique, because the creator always said the virus changes continuously and is not predictable.
The show had alot of potential. The actors were all really good the cinematography and cgi/makeup all top noch.…
I think the explanation was done well and very straightforward with little to no complicated things to understand.
In simple terms, his son was a victim of bullying, he tried to even commit suicide, the school and police would not help him.
Since his father was a 'genius' scientist, he learned about some animals (rats in this case) are able to fight against their nature in some moments when their adrenaline is boosted heavily. He enhanced the effect of this adrenaline boost and created a solution/virus.
He believed the weak will never be able to fight against the stronger, unless they are made stronger. So he injected his son with it, so that he could become stronger.
One of the rats he had experimented bit one of the students, the student had bitten the nurse, and the nurse spread it to the school. The student was taken to hospital, and from there it spread to the rest of the city.
Unfortunately he failed, the virus actually made humans stronger, but made them loose their minds (majority did) and it stops their heart before it starts pumping again. (That's why they assumed the zombies were dead, except the hybrids, clearly the hybrids would be explained more in season 2.
There were a lot of characters being killed, but how do you expect many to survive a situation like that? First of all one bite is all that's needed, they had no weapons to fight, no food to eat, no water for a long time and there were against almost 95% of the whole school population. To make it worse, a halfbie who is immortal and retained intelligence and boosted strength constantly targeted them. If it wasn't a show, I don't think anyone will make it through, but they had to save some of them to continue the show.
I thought the show was pretty accurate, the way they initially had many doubts, the way some discriminated against others, the way they slowly started trusting each other.. Trying to sacrifice for one another.. All looked pretty well placed from my point of view.

!!!!BIG SPOILER!!!!
The biggest one was Chung San, main ML, but we only saw him possibly dying but not his body, and the ending suggested that he might have survived. Other than that, all most all kid's parents are dead.. Hyo-Ryung, Mi-Jin, Dae-Su, Ha-Ri, Su-Hyeok, On-Jo, and Nam-Ra are the survivors, but Nam Ra is no longer human or zombie, she is a hybrid. The rest died.. I enjoyed the detective's part, glad they survived, hope they play a role in Season 2.
Hmm.. People talking about the story and plot holes.. I think this was an absolute banger! From episode 1 till episode 12, the whole show was THRILLING, what more do you want from a zombie series?
The title justified itself, you never knew who would be the next one to die.. The VFX and Background Music was perfectly done, the narrative videos of the virus creator was placed well.
Since its Netflix, and how it's been a hit, excited for a Season 2! Have a feeling if they do it well, it could even top Season 1 after watching the ending..
Definitely a 9.5 for me! Minus 0.5 because watching a lot of people I liked die was troubling..
Some might feel it wasn't up to the expectations because of the hype.. For me the direction was outstanding, the story was engaging, the acting was brilliant, the OST was soothing.. Overall 9.5/10 Minus 0.5 because not sure whether I would watch it 1-2 times, because the type of the story is a great one time watch. Oh god.. I love Kim Da-mi 🔥🔥

I mean I didn't watch the Part 1 because I wanted to wait till part 2 released.
Not a dull moment from the Episode one!
Giving me the Mentalist feeling! Brilliant watch!
I'm alone on an empty street.
The sun is shining brightly.
The clock which is never wrong says it's midnight.
I wonder, is it day or night?
Every time someone says this.. it's so impactful!
Did people watch this without watching the actual drama?
