The only time alcoholism can save you.
Running and climbing zombies? Uh, no thanks.
I love a good zombie show; I always have and always will. That being said, I haven’t seen a zombie show quite like this. The humor and comedy elements add to the story without making it seem ridiculous (Although the alcoholism repelling zombies was hilarious). The comedy aspects bring a certain levity to the show and saves it from being your average, drama-filled, depressing, world-is-ending zombie show. That doesn’t mean certain scenes don’t hit hard and don’t surprise you. I was caught off guard by a few of the deaths that happened. The flashback episode showing Young-Joo and Jae-Yoon solidified the existing relationship for me. In the first few episodes, I found it hard to like them as a couple because we had no basis for their relationship, but the flashbacks of their relationship, both pre-relationship and post-relationship, helped. The reactions of the characters, while dramatized for comedy’s sake, felt real. While we as viewers know how to kill a zombie and that when you get bit, you inevitably turn, it’s easy to put yourself in that situation and wonder what you would believe if someone you knew or cared about got bit and if you would be able to end the danger before or even after they turn.
I do not like Jin-Wook; he’s such an irritating character. The actor did an amazing job portraying a character like him. The fact that we don’t get to visually see his death makes his death sadder, in my opinion, but I’m glad because his death was brutal. Certain scenes of this show will live rent-free in my head forever. I adore Soo-Jeong and how she is the best soldier in their little group, and she isn’t even a soldier. Tripeater/The Student saying excuse me to the zombies as he pushes by them to reach Alex’s car will never not be amusing. I love Aron, and his staple gun will always be the greatest zombie-killing device ever. I can’t forget the epic way Young-Joo killed zombie grandma. The first Sergeant’s death and Alex’s are tied for most saddest death for me. Never mind, Tripeater getting out of the car and tricking/forcing Jin-Wook to drive away because he knew he was turning and didn’t want to hurt them made me tear up.
The zombies are freaking terrifying though! The special effects makeup was spectacular, and that one bodiless zombie crawl running toward the group in the Hotel will give me nightmares.
I enjoyed the acting and all the actors, I think they all did a really good job. This is my first movie/series of Jisoo’s, but her performance when she gave up her spot on the train to the little boy only to find out it was overrun, was heartbreaking. The sets and props were amazing, it felt like you were actually in Seoul during a zombie apolypcse.
Overall, I loved this show, and I had a blast watching it. I very much hope we get a season 2 because I have so many questions.
