A Promising Start!
What a start.First, if you're anything like myself and a fan of this genre as a whole- its for you. Gory fun, poking fun at its own genre the way the 'Zombieland' movies have all those years ago..we finally get our wish; more korean zombies content!
Setting this to take place in the heart of a large city makes sense, with our FML currently exploring this idea; scavenging for gear, weapons is always a fun aspect in these series & yes I can not wait for her to get her hands on that chainsaw
A hotel with floors above & below already overrun is also a fun setting; hotel or stairs? Stay confined or risk going out? Well, those fuel tanks aren't gonna fill themselves..
Cast. Its my first time seeing most of the cast, but I'm enjoying most of the characters so far. Jisoo is the heart of the show right now, a mix of being an overly polite shy natured girl, while also yelling at a crowd of people to help her pull a corpse stuck on her cars glass windshield. Its strange because I always prefer my FML to be more on the competent side for these shows(think the happiness spec ops woman) but she has been a joy so far & my favorite POV! Alex(smug CEO)casually going on his solo quest to probably saving us in the very end is also one to watch for.
Highlights:
- Setting(s) are fantastic
- Gory Fun, depsite the zombies being unserious there is a real sense of danger in these encounters
- Most characters, including side characters, are a joy(so far)
- Scavenging, a theme many of us enjoy in this genre is already being explored
Criticism:
- ML is the weak part of the early story. Coming off as an overly controlling boyfriend & not giving the audience a reason to care for him, its a shame because the script isn't utilizing a great actor
- Momentum is not on its side. We understand why they would release this weekly, but it will face tough competition in the coming weeks
