Overhyped but Fails to Deliver – A Huge Disappointment

When this series was first announced, I was genuinely excited and had high expectations. After all, it's a zombie drama, which is always an interesting genre, and Jisoo was part of the cast, making it even more exciting. Naturally, I was eager to see how the story would unfold. However, to my disappointment, the series completely failed to live up to my expectations.

The biggest issue is the lack of a solid storyline. The plot feels weak and unstructured, making it difficult to stay engaged. There are hardly any thrilling moments that one would expect from a zombie drama. Instead of keeping me on the edge of my seat, it felt dull and predictable. The comedy, which could have been a saving grace, falls flat and doesn’t add any real entertainment value.

Another major drawback is the acting. While I was looking forward to Jisoo’s performance, I found it to be underwhelming. The emotions often felt forced, and the overall execution was cringeworthy at times. Additionally, the pacing of the series is painfully slow. The story drags on without any significant development, making it feel like a chore to watch.

Honestly, it felt like I was watching this drama only for Jisoo, hoping that it would get better, but unfortunately, it never did. I sincerely hope she improves her acting skills and chooses better projects in the future because she has the potential to do much better. This series, however, was a huge letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting zombie thriller.
