Zomvivor

Only giving it 8 stars because it genuinely managed to annoy me every single episode.

This drama was genuinely entertaining, but also one of the most frustrating zombie dramas I’ve watched in a while. Half the time I was impressed, and the other half I was questioning how some of these characters survived longer than five minutes. It constantly felt like the show was rage baiting me on purpose.

First of all, the zombie makeup and effects were REALLY good. The zombies actually looked scary and realistic instead of looking like people who skipped sleep for three days. One thing that also surprised me was how fast the apocalypse escalated. Usually, in zombie shows, the government spends five episodes "evaluating the situation." Not here! By Day 2, helicopters were already in the air, shooting everything that moved. The efficiency was actually impressive.

Now let’s talk about the characters and their collective lack of survival instincts.

WHY do these people refuse to understand the concept of infection??? Bite = Bad. It’s not a personality change, it’s not a rough phase, they are literally turning into a zombie. Yet every time someone transformed, the others would stand there trying to talk emotionally to them instead of running away. Like yes, Shaila, that was your friend two minutes ago, but now she sees you as a snack. Please RUN.

And then there’s Fah. Oh my god, GURL MEET ME OUTSIDE.
The group already figured out that zombies attack based on sound, right? So when her phone started ringing, what does this genius do? Throw it away? Turn it off? NO ❤️ She runs around carrying the loudest object in Thailand while attracting fifty zombies and then runs straight back to her friends like: “Guys look!! I brought guests 😍”

Pao was another character that really frustrated me. I’ve seen people defend him by saying he was misunderstood or mentally unstable after losing his friends, and while I understand trauma affected him, the problem is that everyone in this drama lost someone. The apocalypse wasn’t easy for anyone. The P.E. team especially suffered because of the terrible decisions made around them. Characters like Gus, Korn, and Aek genuinely felt like people who were trying to survive logically, so seeing them pay the price for someone else’s stupidity was honestly painful.

Let’s talk about the "Patron" logic. This man didn't want to be immortal, but he didn't want his body to rot. So his big plan was to be a fresh, non-rotting corpse? Sir, what exactly is the vision here? Because from my understanding, you are still VERY dead. The logic is as rotting as the zombies should be.

And the ending honestly irritated me the most. After watching everyone fight tooth and nail to survive, the rescue was basically for Ning and her brother only. Meanwhile everyone else who had been suffering through this nightmare was just left behind. The whole disaster started because of Ning's mother’s lie and the experiments surrounding the serum, yet somehow they were treated like the chosen ones while everyone else was disposable. The drama barely shows what happens to the remaining survivors.

Out of all the characters, Boss (Phu) was honestly the only one I consistently liked. He actually used his brain, tried to understand situations logically, and behaved like someone who genuinely wanted to survive.

Anyways, If you’re looking for a show that makes you feel like an absolute genius compared to the characters on screen, ZOMVIVOR is for you.

I like the acting i thought it was done so well the Makeup the zombie just everything about that was done so well in my opinion.

Left confused

Saying this now but there are definitely going to be spoilers in this review so if you haven't Zomvivor, maybe don't read this?
This series is spectacular. Amazing actors, good cinematography and cool effects. You could really tell that they had a big budget and they used it right. They were really dedicated to this drama. But there were some moments where I was like: "Huh? Wait, what?"
Don't get me wrong, the story and the plot were interesting but the ending was so not what I expected.
What happened during that 1 month? Where are the other survivors? Why was Nonn in a cage and why did he have blue eyes like his mom? And where did Ning and Wiroj go?
The ending felt like such a huge cliffhanger and I want to know more.
Overall, Zomvivor is a really good show and I would 100% recommend it if you like this type of genre.

Be for real. ITS. SO. MESSY.

Setting aside the fact that there is a possible Season 2, this is weakly executed. Like the potential is there, but men the execution? Its sad. The writers, directors wanted to do A LOT, to the point that inserting it in a 7-episode serie feels so wrong. And being honest, it should have been called the "Mom-Ning-Non family story" because let's be real, almost HALF of the serie was just about their slowburn storyline, where in fact it was promoted and advertised as more than that.

I waited almost 2 years for this, and then I am completely sad about watching this. Maybe because of how it was promoted and being pushed by the company into all of their social media accs, my expectation went so high. But yeah, I learned my lesson.

I can see what the production want to do with this serie. They wanted to make it as unique as possible as there are a lot of zombie series and movies out there. But after watching it,they should gave it more time. Recheck script and screenplay.

The only good thing about this serie are the actors. They still pulled off the acting. They made me feel what I have to feel towards their characters by playing it so well. Commending Mark, Boss, Boun and Nunew here.

Overall; I dont hate it, but I don't love it nor like it either.

Will I recommend it? If you are a BL fan, maybe? But overall, still a yes (so you know what I mean) haha.

Some deaths could've been avoided

I am liking the story so far at least the source of the zombie apocalypse is not the usual suspect—virus. Some of the characters really brought their A-game into this, while some I believe are still warming up which is definitely not a bad thing. I loved Jean's story and how hurt he was losing Pao.

However, I would stand my ground on this one—some of the deaths in this series could've been easily avoided if they just started to run the moment they see a zombie. But maybe they're just showing how your fight or flight senses might not work totally in situations like this but you know, once or twice in the whole series I can forgive but not to the number I've seen here.

But, I would still give this a good review and definitely a must watch. I don't know if I'm too harsh but after watching The Elixir on Netflix before this I guess kinda made me expect something, you know? 😅

Love it, Domundi!!! Make more shows like this please.

Disappointing thing to watch after All of Us Are Dead

I was looking for the same sort of high stakes, action focused drama as All of Us Are Dead and since this is also a zombie school drama, it seemed an obvious choice.

I was unfortunately very disappointed. Whereas All of Us Are Dead (AOUAD) is moved forward by tense and dynamic emotional connections and the unknown of who will survive if anyone, Zomivor lacked the same appeals.

Zomivor starts seemingly in the hours following the initial outbreak and through flashbacks reveals what happened over the past year or so. This leads you right into the tension but with no emotional attachment to any characters to care for their success. Due to the fact that this takes place at a college campus across two separate schools and about 3-4 separate groups, the relationships are unclear and this downplays the tension between characters as drama is introduced as it’s hard to tell who is an acquaintance or a friend.

I think this production was overall very weak and the directing choices poorly made. However, the acting was fine and the special effects/zombies were appropriately creepy.

I find myself confused by the high ratings of this, and would love to know if it was as successful domestically as internationally. From the other reviews and comments I’ve seen online, I do think a large portion of people went into this because of a favorite actor.

The characters are lovable and irritating both

First of all, I love the acting.
The fact that some of the scene are very good is not doubt. I love Proa, thi and phu's character a lot. But, I have the same problem with this as I have with any other zombie movies or series, that is, the character trying to save that crazy out of mind friend and loosing other teammates because of it. Seriously I can't fathom why the hell after what Pao did, mook, that bitch would try to meet him, and yes after he ran away, he called hoards of zombies towards him and we lost Gus and Korn because of him.
I know Poa is a friend, but now he is a not in his right mind, either throw him out of keep him locked. Very irritating. I skipped his scenes because I got so irritated seeing characters dying because of that bitch.
So yeah, the characters are lovable and irritating.

Most idiotic series of the year

The fuck was that series Zomvivor (2025)? I’ve seen tons of zombie, apocalypse survival stuff from around the world, but this was just shit, man. Pure brainrot, pure ragebait. The most cringey drama of the year, and the characters were the dumbest things in it. It felt like the story was written by an AI, or the director told a rookie “Just do whatever you like, man.” Every character acted like the script said “be stupid,” and the plot was so raigebait I wanted to go there and kill those characters myself. What the fuck is even that, man? Was the investor trying to launder black money through this series? What was Netflix thinking before approving it? And the producers didn’t even stop to think this type of shit could become popular. Only I know how the fuck I completed this series. Now I need to watch something good to refresh my mind.

OMG PERFECT!!!

So I'm gonna start by saying I might reveal some spoilers so if you haven't watched and don't want spoilers, please don't read!!!
Infact, I'm surprised, this is the top tier Thai series, everything is just perfect. My only problem is how they want to create their own version of zombies instead of the ones we know. At a point I needed English dub instead of subs in order to understand, but I decided to focus more on the subs and I understood everything in a min.

Some of the characters are so lame, I mean is a life and death situation and come and see FAH, PAO and those cheerleading team lol, they joke too much, the whole issue with PAO mental health was so so unnecessary in the first place, It shouldn't be an excuse here.
And I still don't understand Ning, maybe the next season (we all know we are getting it lol) will explain further because leaving her friends there was such a bad choice. Non had to pay the price for being born into their family.
I know they are going to bring up some lame excuses for his mother and Wirjo the next season, because Wirjo especially knew the consequences and still went ahead to use humans for the test, he didn't even use 1 but tons, not knowing the outcome for the drugs, why did they not put them in a lab to study them instead of just leaving them out there?

This series has really taken me by surprise the acting and everything was perfect, I only think they could do better with the storyline, we should see them trying to survive, running here and there instead of sitting and talking plenty. At a point I was wondering why they decides to leave their shelter when nothing is at stake because they were not going for food or anything and they know very well they can't kill all the zombies so it was better they stay at one place of nothing is at stake.
We should see them trying to look for food, water and other things.

Overall this is perfect, I know we can't wait for the next season, because that ENDING?...

My rewatch value is 5/10 because I'm not a fan of watching the same series more than one.
