Cool twist to the Zombie genre
I placed spoilers at the end of this review.Overall, this was an excellent series. It had a solid story idea that did not play it safe. I just wish it was executed a little better.
The Positive: It was great the script did not use the typical ideas of what a zombie should be. It was an interesting spin to this sub-genre which made it thrilling to watch unfold. I also thought it was brilliant that they did not use a traditional linear time frame with only one exception. The entire cast did an incredible job with their roles. The production team did an outstanding job with the cinematography, special effects, and FX make-up. They also did a great job with pacing and used the screen time wisely for a 7-episode series.
The Negative: The main problem was this had to many cast members/characters, at least they did not try to give all of them their own storyline. It did not help that they also did not do a good job introducing them. I don’t even know how all of the characters are linked to each other. This also made it hard to care about some of them. A minor problem was the script jumped straight into the chaos without giving us any reason to care about it.
Random Notes:
Warning, this has a lot of gory scenes. If you don’t have a high tolerance and/or don’t like gore, you should probably skip this series.
I liked the nod to “The Night of the Living Dead” at the very beginning of episode 1.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I like that this had very little romance.
I rated the music a 5 because there really was not much music to rate.
This has an open ending with hints of a possible second season. Well, I’m hoping it does because I really would love to see more of this world and the characters.
******Potential Spoiler Alert******
I like the general idea of getting the viewers’ attention at the very beginning but the first episode became too chaotic. My critique is they should have started with the 6-month earlier section first to get the views care more about the characters.

Worthy Halloween Binge!
First of all, this is actually a great series and totally worth the almost three-year wait. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much at first, but I was excited to finally get a Thai zombie apocalypse drama — and I ended up binging the entire series in one night.I really appreciate Domundi’s effort and budget here. The production quality is impressive — from its cinematography, scriptwriting, directing, to editing — all handled with care. The lineup of actors is stellar, and everyone delivered such convincing performances. The pacing is also spot-on: enough suspense without dragging too slow or moving too fast, with unexpected plot twists that kept me hooked. I especially loved the smooth transitions between past and present scenes — they were so well executed.
The biggest highlight for me is the “cure attempt gone wrong” trope. I like how the show cleverly blends real-world science into a fictional context — it makes the story feel grounded yet thrilling.
There are a lot of characters, but surprisingly, each one serves a clear purpose and brings life to the series. Some moments and characters really stayed with me — the mother-children arc, the cheerleading and Lily scenes, Pao’s mental relapse, the infamous alarm phone scene, and of course, the Ning-Non ending.
The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because of the cliffhanger ending (please, let there be a Season 2 soon!) and a few small plot loopholes here and there. But overall, Zomvivor is a refreshing, high-quality take on the zombie genre — and one of the best Thai dramas I’ve seen in years.

What a series
Honestly was not expecting anything much with this series. I really like zombie theme series, so when years back they released teaser I was excited but somewhere I knew we won't get the series anytime soon. But now as we got the series and have completed all 7 episode in one go, this shows how good the series was. I had little to no expectations, I knew the casting amd acting would be great, but was worried, if they will be able to meet the standards that other zombie series had. But oh my god, they did, everything was great.I really wanna recommend this to my non bl friends so that they can see how good thai series can be. But i think they will eventually know about this series, as this is a kind of genre that so many viewer's enjoy, so i wanna wait for them to start first and then for me to brag that yes, my fav actors are casted in this series.
Thankyou domundi for this series. This is something that i always wanted. Now just give us season 2 asap!!

Zomvivor – A Zombie Series That Will Make You Angry… in a Good Way
Zomvivor (2025) is a Thai zombie drama that surprised me in the best way possible. From the very first episodes, the story pulls you in with mystery and unanswered questions that make you think, what is actually going on here? It’s not just zombies running around — the series slowly reveals information and pushes you to figure things out yourself, which makes it addictive.One thing I have to praise loudly is the cast and acting. Every single actor and actress did a great job. You can really tell they put effort into their roles. The zombie makeup was insanely good — like, actually scary. In so many dramas the zombies look fake, but here they looked real. Huge shout-out to the makeup artists, because they honestly carried the horror vibe of the show.
Now let’s talk about the characters… because oh my days, they are SO annoying.
At first, my favourite character was Pao, but after what he did in episodes 3 and 4, I completely changed my mind. He wanted to save people, but instead his actions got people killed. That was the moment I went from loving him to literally hating him.
The most annoying characters for me were:
● Pao
● Prao
● Muk
● Earth
They all annoyed me in their own ways. Ning was also annoying, but not as bad as the others.
Even though the characters were frustrating, that’s what made the show so good. Every episode makes you want to watch the next one. There is always something happening, always a new problem, and it never gets boring.
I was also really happy to see Namping and Keng in this drama — I did not expect to see them in a zombie series, and they were actually really good.
And let’s not forget Lily — her acting as a zombie was amazing. She did such a great job that her scenes genuinely stood out.
Now… the ending.
The ending of season 1 is either:
The best ending ever — if we get season 2, or
The worst ending ever — if we don’t.
If there is no season 2, then honestly, this would be one of the most disappointing endings I’ve ever seen. But if we do get season 2, then the way they ended season 1 is actually smart, because it makes you desperate to know what happens next.
Final Thoughts & Rating
For me, Zomvisor (2025) is a solid 10/10. The story, the mystery, the acting, and especially the zombie makeup were all top-tier and made the series unforgettable.
However… that rating depends entirely on season 2.
If we don’t get season 2, my rating drops to an 8/10, because the season 1 ending would feel incomplete and frustrating. But if season 2 is confirmed, then this is easily one of the best zombie dramas I’ve ever watched.
I highly recommend Zomvivor to anyone who loves zombie dramas. Just be warned — if season 2 doesn’t happen, the ending might annoy you. But the story, cast, and suspense make this a must-watch.

Honestly, Eat The Rich
After watching 'The Elixir', I was hella sceptical about watching another zombie film. I mean, 'All of Us are Dead' and 'Kingdom' (both seasons) and 'Happiness' are some of my holy grail zombie shows, and 'The Elixir' was gonna do me like that? Nah, I was traumatized.I didn't wanna see another non-Korean zombie show. My trust was broken. That, coupled with the fact that I've been disappointed by some of the main character's acting chops in BLs b4.... my expectations were on gasping for breath on the floor. Despite all that, I was genuinely impressed by this.
What I Liked
🧟The overall story is what carries this. As a fan of zombie shows, I love how fresh (and sciency) this concept is. IDK who worked on the script, but hats off to them. They honestly made this story so very interesting to watch. If some things were done differently, I genuinely would have rated this as highly as I did 'All of Us are Dead.'
What I Didn't Like
🧟The acting - I'll not be naming names but yoh...! I was right. Some of these BL boys.... Please send them to acting school. My two cents are these: we know that actors can get by with good looks. It's been done over and over and over again. BUT!! With Netflix investing so heavily in Thailand, and companies obviously wanting to get themselves a piece of that pie, wouldn't it be better to have their actors do better so they can represent them - and Thailand - well on the global stage? Some of these guys have been acting for years, and they are still so stiff. HOW???? How can you not express more than 2 facial expressions? Oi🤦🏾♀️
🧟♀️We lost Lilly too early - She was one of the better actors in this (one of the best TBH), and I hate that we lost her to Zombieism when we did. IMO, she should've had a bigger role.
🧟♀️🧟♀️ - Why were the girlies written like that? - If it wasn't Fah with the phone, it was Mook(?) who let's an obviously unstable friend out, leading to unnecessary deaths. And let's not forget about little miss horrible, Prao. Seriously, does anyone know why she was so mean to literally everyone? Good Lord! Oh.... Also, Ning, I don't like a know-it-all. I just... If I rant about her, I'll never go to sleep, and it's already 1:20 am
🧟All the anger management issues and dumb decisions - I understand that it is a high-stakes, high-stress situation. But did we need to keep arguing that much? Not only did it waste time, but it also cost lives. In terms of dumb decisions, the pple in this show acknowledge that they've seen zombie movies before. Now, with that in mind, why would you
1. Start running after a friend who's been bitten in the name of saving them?
2. Ditch the survivor group to go find your bitten friend to apologize to them?
3. Start a fucking cheer routine in the name of trying to get your friend back? Isn't silence the ONE cardinal rule of any zombie world?
Bro... The number of times these pple made me want to punch my TV. Lawd Jesus *rubs temples*
🧟Continuity Issues - Some of those scenes needed better consistency
Random Thoughts
a. Tutor, I did not know the power that you hold. You beautiful, beautiful man. Whoever styled his hair, tell him to keep it like that, always
b. I kept expecting to see Noeul. Zee&Nunew were present, so were Keng&Namping as well as Max&Nat, so whenever I saw Boss, I expected Nouel to pop out, even though I'd gone through the cast list and seen he wasn't in it😅
c. I really would like a 2nd season. The final ep ended at a really incredible point - Full zombie son, half zombie mother, and human daughter... That is such a cool place to start the 2nd season from. Plus, let's not forget the pple on the roof. It's been a month since they were left there. Clearly, they were able to restrain Non, but how have they survived (if at all) for an entire month? What have they been eating? Will the Patron be exposed for his misdeeds? His secret is known by a lot more pple now, so I'd love to see what they'd do with the info.
Basically, there's so much good content they could give us in season 2, but... Will we ever get that 2nd season, or will Netflix make it another 'All of Us are Dead' situation?

Don't stop watching Zomvivor after the first eps!
So actually this isn't really my genre..But I was waiting for this series and was watching it especially because it's from Domundi, because I like and know most of the actors and for ZeeNuNew.
And I have to say the first episode was a bit boring and complicated for me, but the episodes after that made me stay.
~Story~
I think the story is pretty interesting and makes sense, some points were maybe a bit complicated tho.
What I liked is that most things made sense within the next episodes.
~Acting/Cast~
As I said I know most of the actors and really like them too.
And I have to say I'm not disappointed.
They all did such a great job!! The way they showed all these emotions and everything was just great!
~Music~
I guess I didn't pay much attention to the music because I was more paying attention to what was happening at that moment, but I think the music suited each scenes quite well.
~Rewatch value~
So even If there were some things I didn't LOVE, I'm happy with how Zomvivor turned out.
It was an exciting, emotional series I'd like to watch again! 😊
So all in all I'd say Zomvivor is such an interesting series which made me (who doesn't like to watch Zombie movies/series) really enjoy it!!

Interesting plot but poorly executed
I have to give kudos for the acting of all actors involved, especially Jimmy, Max, Net, Tutor, Boss, Mark and Janis. The rest could have done better but they all had moment or scene that left good impression. I also like the creative part of the story in which they gave new characteristics for the zombies. However the plot was poorly executed and messy which reduced the re-watch value. One time watch for me.Was this review helpful to you?

What do you think?
ep 5???? big forehead character decide to do cheerleading in the middle of no where, FULLY KNOWING SOUNDS WILL BRING IN ZOMBIE. When zombie came, he acted like the hero.... which make no sense because it was his fault in the first place. like huh??????? can't even take this show seriously. tons of missing details on zombies. why do they still have full clothes and not torn up clothes??? imo, im just here for Boss thats it. :) the show is cringe but okay. The whole show is rage bait, they will purposely do something stupid. Also it is too draggy. The zoom in and zoom out is completely like Bollywood drama where 10 second scene can be dragged out to 10 minutes. I feel my iq drop after watching this show. Its like seeing dumb, dumber and dumbest brain storming to see who has the dumber idea.Was this review helpful to you?
It took a long time to come but come out was good
Let me make it clear first i watched this series as a someone who like zombie movie and series not as a bl fan and i enjoyed it, it was entertaining(actors did amazing job their acting was really good), messy(they did really well with this point to, production team put their good work here) and zombie where cruel like how they always been.Now for story line it was little bit dramatic but still ok(they have to many good and kind people who don't think with their mind but with heart) and yeah zombie have emotions too 😌

Don't waste your time.
I’ve technically finished this series, but honestly, I didn’t enjoy it at all. Rewatch value? Absolutely none. The ending was extremely suspicious and unsatisfying — a cliffhanger that made me wish there would be no season two.While the makeup and editing were visually nice, the plot itself was severely lacking. The constant switching between past and present made the storyline confusing rather than engaging. Instead of building tension or depth, it only added to the mess. What’s even more frustrating is that the cast is actually strong — every actor did well in their respective roles — yet the writing failed them completely. Each character’s storyline somehow became worse as the series progressed, which felt very unfair given their performances.
Watching this series didn’t feel enjoyable at any point. I felt uncomfortable throughout, to the extent that I dropped it at episode four and skipped straight to the final episode. Unfortunately, even the ending failed to redeem anything. It only confirmed my disappointment.
In the end, the only thing I genuinely liked about this series was the behind-the-scenes production. Everything else — especially the plot — fell flat. A good cast and decent production can’t save a poorly written and confusing story.

Run to watch it!
This series was soooo worth the wait. They did an incredible job with the editing. Loved the cinematography and how it felt like a movie the whole time. How they were able to maintain a balance with such a packed cast is beyond me. I loved the story and character development and the twists and turns and how characters who I thought would not have much screen time ended up totally surprising me in the end and others who were more prominent diminished a bit to balance it out. I wish it had more character back stories so I really hope there is a season 2 to explore more. The cliffhanger was awesome and gives hope for a great story potential in second season. Super proud of Boss Chaikamon's acting. He showed such a good range and control of his character. So happy he has been entrusted this role and this opportunity. He didn't disappoint at all and did the character proud.Was this review helpful to you?
