Brilliant premise let down by last third
This is a Zombie story before it is a BL romance. The story is engaging with a suitable number of revelations and plot twists. Action scenes are good.
The main characters fit well together. Lin Zai’s character growth is blink and you’ll miss it, but he does grow in resilience and courage (some) and gets a dose of reality.
A Lie undergoes a radical change and his back story is moving.
The chemistry between the leads is good, and they’re really believable as lovers.
Special mention for the OST and especially the opening credits (have a listen even if you’re not going to watch the series!). It went straight on my Spotify playlist and it punches well above the weight of the series.
Unfortunately the last third is an absolute mess, frustrating and slow-paced. The resolution of 24 episodes happens in literally 10 minutes and although I like the ending, it is rushed and unsatisfying.
The second “couple” (a scientist and his zombie stepbrother) were a proper turn off for me. Who would have thought zombification does impair sex appeal?
Overall some good and some bad. Worth starting and seeing how you fare.
