NO WAY you thought #Alive was better 💀

Dumbest argument I’ve seen. Dark content is not exclusive to Western media. In fact I argue Korean media has done this dark content WAY better than Western media ever could.

Its thrilling and these rising stars deserve it!

underwhelming after all of us are dead

bro played his bully character a little too well

Rising star my darling

even though there were lots of ridiculous writing and inconsistent character actions...I DID enjoy it a lot as a thriller and I like the characters especially cheongsan what a cutie...so it won't get such a low rating from me I AM SO BIASED FOR ZOMBIE THRILLERS

Same!!! He had potential to be a rlly good character / fan favorite on the show

Srsly wish they had discovered that room

To be honest I am harsh but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it

Right. And we're supposed to believe they still have all that stamina with no food or water?

Bulgasal was really really good for me the first couple episode but i got attached to the historical aspect and was really not.feeling the modern setting at all I will try it again

I believe you specifically have to get bitten to be infected. Hers was just a scratch. You can also get infected if zombie blood enters a wound, but her scratch was covered up and protected

Ohn Joo gets better; I think the first reaction was out of complete fear/shock. The drama is thrilling for sure I hope you enjoy!

(Sorry for the rambles and thanks for a great review!)

I am very much biased towards zombie thrillers specifically though so…

As expected poorer female character writing in comparison to the male character counterparts…always their motivations and rationality are so lacking in comparison.

Don’t even get me started on Ohn Joo’s dad. All this suspenseful build up all for him to die within seconds of their reunion in the most underwhelming and “are you serious?” type of way. Nothing is worse than stupid noble idiocy deaths. Wouldn’t a father fight for survival as much as he can until he can see her safe? Instead it felt like a “oh I saw her now I can plunge to my death” rather than a moving sacrifice element like they were clearly going for. There are a lot of stupid attempts at emotional sacrifices in this show that just don’t work because the character development is not enough for us to care!

I want to complain about Cheongsan’s mom here since I’m sure many will agree. Complete emotional plot device done poorly. They wanted to play on the trope of mother will do anything for her child. Yes she would, but not in an absolutely ridiculously stupid way like charge into her own death which clearly would not accomplish her mission in finding her son. On the news: dangerous man eating infection. Her: let me head over their right now! It was so ridiculous I could not even feel bad for her. And because I couldn’t take her seriously as a character, the emotional impact of Cheongsan finding his mom but as a zombie was so much lesser than it could have been.

They wrote a respectful and thoughtful review with their own opinions. Not sure why you are taking it as a personal attack…? And why the assumption that they should stick to “hollywood trash” just because they disliked this drama?
