Come Back To It

So I first started this show the minute that it aired on Netflix and I only got to half the second episode before I quit. I was bored and wasn't really feeling up for another zombie show when at the time, it seemed like it was all that was on TV. So I dumped it and moved on.

But! Less than a year later, I browsing Lomon's page and trying to find out what else I'd seen him in, since I was watching Revenge of Others and guess what! He played the main role in All of Us Are Dead (and some other shows that I'd watched). But since I hadn't actually watched All of Us Are Dead, I decided to give it another try for him. And I am so so glad I did.

Now I'm not saying this because I'm currently stanning Lomon. ( I am stanning him but that's a whole different point.) I think this was genuinely an amazing show.

Acting -
These kids are doing amazing. I am genuinely so impressed by their portrayal of their characters and how genuinely they come across. They gave amazing performances with perfect chemistry. They felt like friends, they had their jokes and their drama and pettiness. They portrayed being teenagers perfectly.

The rest of the cast also did a phenomenal job. The detective was a massive DILF and I loved every one of his scenes. His heartbreak at the state of the world, and his hope that he can keep the kids safe. The general played cool and rational and coldhearted while subtly being able to convey that every decision he is making is taking a toll on him and he doesn't want to be making them. The soldiers who follow orders no matter what even if they don't want to and you are screaming with frustration at them for not disobeying and yet you know that no matter what they will follow orders to the letter because that is how they are conditioned. The parents who would run into danger for their kids, and the kids who are dealing with so much trauma that they don't know how to react to all of it so some of it hits them like a tidal wave and they are frozen, depressed, suicidal or they some they just compartmentalize until they can deal with it later.

Plot -
Believable. It has been three years since Covid started and I can still remember how chaotic that time was. Now take a zombie virus that is quick and deadly and put in human stupidity and drama and all the rest and you've got reality. I think the most unbelievable part is that the military actually does a pretty adequate job in containing the disease for how deadly it is. (Although I did think a lot about how birds would naturally become zombies by eating the decaying bodies and therefore it would be impossible to actually contain the zombie virus, but I guess i have to suspend my disbelief in some things because at the end of the day, this is a zombie show).

Even the love triangle/square was believable. Because in that scenario, you aren't just going to forget that you like someone, even if you are in a super chaotic environment. It's cute and it adds moments of softness to a very action packed drama.

I definitely recommend the show.
Go into it with an open mind and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Netflix Sensationalism With Poor Substance

To quote a great poet "I expected nothing and I'm still let down".

I checked All of Us Are Dead out of curiosity: labelled as a Netflix show but with a kdrama more usual format (12 episodes of roughly 1h). I think this is the first time I wished this drama had been shorter like the other Netflix productions.

The Story

It drags on. The main plot of the students can be summarized in one sentence : a dozen students try to survive a zombie epidemic, moving from safe spots to safe spots while having encounters with zombies and see their group thin out. That's....... basically all there is to that main storyline. As the epidemic spreads, we follow for a while other storylines, notably two : that of Captain Song Jae Ik (Lee Kyu Hyung) and firefighter Nam So Ju (one of the female leads' father). While the first brought a well-needed comic relief and some adorable moments of Lee Kyu Hyung adopting kids left and right (and being his usual great self), the other managed to catch my attention more, balanced action scenes with calmer ones better than the school storyline. Maybe I was more receptive to these two particular part of the story because I like the actors involved or it moved quicker than the students' and gave more information to the stakes of the storyline. But, in my opinion, the part outside of the school were just..... better. Which is quite sad considering the main point of focus of the drama is youth in the midst of a zombie epidemic and the emotional impact such epidemic has on them.

In addition, I was really uncomfortable by the scene of sexual assault at the start of the drama which........ Served no purpose and was never really resolved unless punishing and blaming the victim even further was the point.

And generally speaking I'm just very tired of bullying plotlines. This is an important topic that should be addressed but lately it seems it's in every drama I watch and there is only so much I can take.

The drama could have easily been just 10 episodes or even less, but instead we got long boring scenes of the students talking and talking and talking and being suspicious and fighting (plus some plotholes) not to mention two "love" storylines that were quite honestly kinda cute but unnecessary imo.


The Characters

Going in pairs with my boredom to the students storyline, I did not really get attach to any of the students. I liked them, the actors did a good job portraying them but they were..... Just there. I did not particularly care what would happen to them and even if some scenes were sad I barely felt anything. It just did not click for me. HOWEVER, once again, Lee Kyu Hyung portraying a police captain trying to grapple with the last shred of hope he can find and Jeon Bae Soo in a desperate father role were two highlights and I was disappointed when their arcs were done (especially Lee Kyu Hyung's which was cut way to short for my taste).

Visuals

The zombies make-up and their choreography was really well done (one of the few positives in this drama for me). They truly looked the part and were chilling at times.

As for the rest... I know this is a horror drama and that gory scenes are likely to happen. But this drama really had me think that some gore scenes were simply there just because Netflix can have them - in a "in-your-face" kind of way. Just like with most of their dramas, it seems to me they massively take the route of violent, gritty dramas and just go and escalate what they show each time. I'm not sure why. Is it provocation? Is it cheap shock-value? Is it just to "buzz" on social medias and thus receive extra publicity? I'm not sure, but this Netflix Sensationalism is not IT. And it's frustrating because Netflix knows just how to make shows with violence and still have it be a natural part of the story (Kingdom comes to mind particularly) and not...... the whole personnality of the drama.

The cinematography was subpar at best, not that I was expecting anything in that regard.


In conclusion

If you like zombies and have seen several dramas and movies on the subject, you will probably get bored though you might still want to check it out. If this is one of your first dramas, please check out other dramas. If it's zombies you're interested about, Kingdom is right there waiting for you. If it's simply dramas in general, Netflix and many other platforms like Viki, Viu and others have many titles to offer with better stories, better development, better crafting all around.

Could have been better

This drama had so much potential, but it fell flat in a lot of ways. To start, almost all the female characters were unlikable, incredibly boring, and useless 99% of the time, which is really frustrating to watch. I'm especially dissapointed with Eunji's character arc. Having her take revenge on the bullies and going up against an immune Gwi Nam would have been epic. What a wasted oppertunity and a wasted character. It would bave been nice to see some character arcs play out a little differently. This story also has some pretty big plot holes, we never really find out what makes some people immune to the virus for instance, or what happened to Cheong-San's dad, or what the antidote was that delayed Byeong Chan's son's transformation. Overall, this drama had some good ideas but wasted too many opportunities and left way too many questions unanswered but if you're in the mood for mindless action, gore and zombies vs students then this is the drama for you.

Zombie Zombie.

I am usually not a fan of Zombie movie but I got curious how they will manage to follow Train to Busan and Peninsula. I thought overall it was a nice drama. The story lack some point or could have been better developped. As for the bully girl, she is here to show that bullied can become bully. I would have loved to see her in a massive fight with Gyu Nam but I can understand the writer point of view. In this drama, the adult are completely useless and it shows that the teenager do not need help. I was sure that not all of the kids will make it as it is korean and no... Not everyone will survive a zombie apocalypse. I am really confused as why Nam Ra is still alive and didn't decided to sacrifice herself in order to protect the other but I guess we might have an answer in the 2nd season. The adult are quite famois actor for people who do know kdrama. As for the kids it depends but I was so happy to see Park Solomon and Yoon Chan Young on a lead role for netflix and I hope it.will bring them more opportunities. Overall, as we were going forward the drama... I had that weird feeling and it somehow got confirm at the end of ep 12. "You abandoned us" " I won't ever trust an adult". It was a shout out to all the adult that gave up on the teenagers stuck in the sewol ferry that the adult didn't try to save. After watching Birthday with Yoon Chan Young a few years back... I never thought they will reuse similar scene as an interrogation of the survivor like it was their fault. I feel like I wouldhave to watch it again to catch all the secondary point but I will be really excited to see the season 2

A Unique Show With A Zombie Origin

I loved that this show has the zombie origin and has lots of twists that are new to zombie shows. It has a lot of originality and not your typical zombie show. Plus it adds real human emotions which is really possible during a zombie outbreak.

I also like that the casts acted really well, with the guidance from their director. And watching the behind the scenes, they had fun shooting even if it takes a lot of time and preparation to shoot a single scene. I like that the storytelling was good, and the camera shots are meticulously done. It's not dizzying or confusing to watch even with the chaos brought about by running or fighting from zombies

All of Us are Dead builds on and extrapolates the zombie playing field of Train of Busan, and more

If you have enjoyed Train to Busan, you will be drawn in gradually to this series. All of Us are Dead builds on and extrapolates the zombie playing field of Train of Busan, from a 2h movie to a 12h drama series, and from within a train to a sprawling high school campus.

As i am still pretty new to kdramas and not familiar with the k actors/actresses, It was confusing for me with the introduction of many different students all dressed in the same school uniforms in the first episode, albeit the occasional different coloured sweaters for some students. After 4 episodes, i started to wonder how the series can continue meaningfully for another 8 episodes, other than students trying to escape alive from the zombie-flooded school.

The series surprisingly engages as it starts to develop the key characters, connecting viewers to them, and exploring humanity, love, sacrifices and teamwork between peers, teacher-students, dad-family, amidst the relentless attacks by the endless swarms of zombies. See comment for link to life lessons and spoilers. It drags at midpoint, as with most dramas. The introduction of half zombies thereafter beefed up the plot for a 12h series.

Overall, it is an enjoyable and enriching zombie series to watch. While i wont be rewatching this series, I do look forward to Season 2 of this series.

Pretty good but a bit drawn out.

** All of Us Are Dead pulls no punches and unleashes a savage and seemingly never-ending assault of fast-running zombies on an unfortunate squad of students who've managed to survive the first wave of a zombiecalypse.
** With 12 episodes running 1 hr. long each, it gets a bit exhausting at times due to continuous gore and violence. It could easily have been done in 8 episodes.
** Some of the characters were a little annoying and the romantic interests felt just a bit silly and somewhat ill fitting.

*** Aside from that it was otherwise reasonably entertaining.

It may not offer up anything exactly new in the realm of zombie carnage other than its somewhat cruel and unrelenting nature, but sometimes that's enough to pull off some damn effective survival horror.

I've been meaning to watch this series for a while. I greatly enjoy zombie apocalypse type stuff, so I was very excited for this show.

Let's start with the things I liked. I liked that we followed mostly high schoolers and the build up. I also liked the lack of shooting around, which we usually get, especially in western zombie Media. I thought it was well done, because there was enough action to not make it boring but it also wasn't so much that you were confused what was happening where and what.
Two actors specifically did such a good job at making me hate them. I always appreciate actors that are good at making me hate their character. Because man, did I hate those two. Na-yeon and the guy we (me and the friend I watched it with) just referred to as "the bully". Genuinely so unlikable. I also liked the set design and even though a lot of the plot points were rather predictable, I still enjoyed it overall.

However, there were some plot holes. The female protagonist, On-jo, gets bitten right in the first episode. This is never brought up or mentioned again. It had me and my friend theoriese so much, only for the writers apparently having forgotten about what happened in episode one. Another thing that I didn't love was the romance. It just felt like the romance arcs were not properly developed and while they added some things, overall it fell flat.
The ending also seemed weird. I still don't know what to do with the last 15 minutes of the show.

Overall a nice show to watch casually but nothing I'd go out of my way to beg people to watch.

different but annoyingly different

just like sweet home and squid game, this was unlike the "usual" kdramas, well the zombie apocalypse part, the highschool romance angst was actually exactly like any other school kdramas ;)

for a zombie apocalypse, it's not usually from a teens' pov. and usually it doesn't revolve around bullying.. but that was it's charm..
was it believable? lol of course not.. those kids never ate anything for 3 days straight, and they barely slept, yet they had enough strength to run, fight and hold back zombies who are known for their speed and power (like those chombies showcased, there's no way those kids could've survived that long)


Tbh prez should use her strength more, I mean if it was a guy chombie he'd have carried them all out and saved the day by now.. prez only threw bully off the roof once..

that bullied girl eating bullied boy.. that's not revenge, he couldn't protect himself she shouldn't have expected him to save her.. she needed to take revenge on her bully.. she should've stayed in the school then found her bully bullying the kids so she'd save them and have her revenge
her revenge against "the whole school" made no sense cuz as those kids showed most of them didn't know either of the bullies or the bullied..

also with cheong san's mom, he should've shown more disbelief, and also she shouldn't have gone there, also where was his dad?
it's like the mom, the fls dad, the bully, the bullied girl, they were all just steps to get the story somewhere.. but they just mostly needed less eps and less reason to drag it out, like that whole flashbacks sequences..

Cheong San didn't deserve this.. the bully was attacking him and he defended himself.. he did not deserve an eye for an eye


The 2 cops are just adopting any kid they find🤣🤡 I was waiting for them to run away with 1 kid now they have 2🤣🤡🤡

amazing plot, plain characters

i really enjoyed the plot of this show. i love zombie stories and this one definitely did not disappoint. i was at the edge of my seat during every episode.
however, i feel like they focused on the story more than the characters' personalities. i loved watching the love stories form, but they really had to work on their individual characteristics. the main female lead was a bit boring to me and the other classmates felt almost irrelevant.
overall, i still enjoyed the plot of this series and i can't wait for season 2! i highly recommend watching this with your friends.
