Mediocre Zombie Show (ft. stepbrother romance?)

The Last Oath really gave us a unique concept for a BL, but unfortunately the execution was not up to par with my expectations. Sections of the show were really fun, and other parts felt like we were rushing through or cutting scenes. I think if the show had more time to develop the main plot, it would have been a lot better, but it felt like they really wanted to put in a lot of fight scenes and unnecessarily forceful makeout scenes. Still, I appreciate how they tried to do something new! But I HATED the zombie stepbrother romance part...don't surprise me with stepbrother romance I DON'T WANT IT.

After losing his brother, Lin Zai has been trying to survive the zombie apocalypse like everyone else. He's got a few people banded together that help each other, and they're managing thus far. When A Leh shows up at his camp, Lin Zai can't resist helping him. However, it turns out A Leh has been searching for an immune subject to take in for research purposes. - and Lin Zai happens to be immune. While A Leh attempts to carry out his duty, unexpected feelings develop between A Leh and Lin Zai.

I don't know that I would genuinely recommend this show unless you really love zombie shows. Not because it's filled with zombies, but because it's not good enough to recommend otherwise. The relationship between the main characters is rushed, and the conflicts are repetitive. It was still a fun watch (except for the stepbrothers. I'm still mad) but not something that I was on the edge of my seat for or super looking forward to each week.
