I need to say that Jisoo is one of my favourite idols, so many people may think I am biased - still it is my first drama with her. So she was my first reason to watch this,second was zombies (yeah, it is weird combination of choices). Well after explaining myself I will go into drama's details,cause I do loved it and in my opinion any lower rating would not be fair - it started with 7/10 but with every next episode (especially since 6 it was becoming higher and darker) - I really had great time and waiting for next week was hard (eventhough I watched other good dramas in the meantime).
Jisoo - in my opinion she played really well, she portrayed perfectly bubble and stressed side of character - especially episode 6 (spoiler - traumatic). Her chemistry was cute with Park Jeong Min (I wished they had more scenes together, so yeah give them season 2!). Also now I need her to act with Lee Hak Joo - yes it can be survival again or maybe spy/criminal - I just need them as a couple! Also his character was perfect, I wished he stayed longer. Spoiler - also the one who turned into zombie but survive so long because of alcohol whose name they did not know (yeah, I also do not know and could not match actor......shame on me) - he was also great, he could play Jisoo's brother in some drama! Sad part - unfortunately team Jisoo did not survive - and it was really great team, they did everything to protect her. Kang Young Seok's character was annyoing but he cared and tried to keep her alive - and did not deserved what happened.
Kim Joon Han - amazing! Hong Seo Hee - great female strong character!!! Team Park Jeong Min was also great, I am really happy that most of tchem stayed alive. To sum up - I just love the cast and the characters.
Episode 6 & 7 - were soo good. Episode 8 - when she was running away from man, it was actually scary, like there was no way to not be stressed if she will survive - I felt like I was watching some scene from The last of us (my favourite game), I was as stressed when Ellie was running from canibal. It was stressful, there was moment where I thought that it will really end the sad way. Also I am curious if Jisoo's character was seeing ghosts or just too much stress and she was imaging things, it seems like that and would make sense actually.The only thing I wished that happened was a kiss!!
Zombies are so well done like it is actually crazy to see them having half of body and still being dangerous. And since it is a zombie series there is need to be a little gore. It also seems that the only way to become a zombie is when they bite you.
Some behaviours were stupid or illogical but they actually made sense - we also would not act rational if suddenly there was zombie's attack.
There are a lot of happy and funny scenes (COMEDY) and a lot of sad, traumatic and dark (episode 6, Alex, guy without name, episode 7) and a lot really a lot of gore (do not eat during watching, and if you are sensitive for this stuff just do not watch) - it is like a mix of Resident evil (game - in terms of bleh) with Zombieland (comedy). In my opinion it was well balanced, cause it was really dark, especially second half. Effects were great, in general visually it is so well made.
Yeah I just loved it!!! Now I need edits with zombie by everglow (my ultimate group, dark parts would fit really well to this song - also #everglowdeservesbetter) and maybe by Purple kiss for comedy parts.
To really sum up - in my opinion it is really great zombie drama, something different than usual, my rating is high but I really like it that much, worth giving a chance especially now when all episodes are out.
