Excellent choice for the Zombie Lovers!
When i woke up today i didn't expect to spend my Sunday watching a zombie drama.
Let's start by saying i HATE zombies!I rarely watch this kind of movies and i have never ever watched a zombie related series in my entire life!This was my very first attempt and i started it out of pure curiosity,as the hype of this drama is skyrocketing.
As you can see i dropped it after episode 4 but still i wanted to write a review about it and ill explain why.
First i have to say that Koreans know how to create really good dramas.It doesn't matter whether you are into the genre or not.You have to appreciate the good work and thats why iam here writing this.
Music:The biggest flaw of this drama.They put so much effort to everything,every single detail,so why they had to mess up with music?Such an important factor!Music theme was just a very poor choice.I expected to be more thrilling and powerful as many scenes carried "big" emotions.Anyways a generous 5 from me.Such a pity,though.
Cast/acting:Not familiar with Joo Ji Hoon.(i will start Hyena after i finish this review so i will form a better opinion about his acting) but still i didn't find him bad here.
I already knew more or less the rest of the cast so overall the acting was good from everyone.
Production/direction/cinematography:Iam speachless!Visual & Sound effects. Those cracks when the zombies awakes!Creepy!Cudos to the make-up artists too.Those corpses/zombies!Just wow really nice work there.
What stole my heart was the scenery.Brilliant!I wanted to enter the screen and be there!Everything was so beautiful.
Story:I will not stay here as obviously i wasn't interested in it.All has to do with zombies so at the end i pass.
Epilogue:Ok,i fed my curiosity.Zombie series is not for me.Definetely NOT!
But if you like the genre this drama is an excellent choice for you.
Is just me not into this.That simple.For you may be a perfect 10.
I gave a total 8 though,because it would be unfair to rate this lower.From the begining i knew i don't like the genre i guess i was just testing myself to see how far i could go with this.But this is my personal taste and it doesn't mean this drama itself is bad.On the contrary!
So my 8 goes mostly for the cinematography and because i didn't want to drop the overall rating.(i mean rating from all the other users)
