"Hyun Bin and Jung Woo‑sung carry the show with their presence, but even they (and production design and camera and music) can’t make up for the lack of narrative depth."
This 1000%. The story was very thin so I dropped it pretty early on. It didn't seem worth the investment in time.
Yes!!! The zombies make out with humans and spread the infection through saliva and semen instead of biting like other zombie flicks. The FL & ML turn into zombies and get married at the end.
Didn't like it. Everyone kept doing dumb things and the only two good characters from the bunch were the sister…
I agree. Most of the characters were dumb. I just can't take the stupidity. It was a great take, kind of like a hybrid Walking Dead-The Last of Us hybrid.
The first third was well-paced & engaging if a bit choppy. It's now just dragging because there isn't enough story for 30-something episodes. Also potential stories have just been kind of forgotten I guess.
Besides Jiang Taohua and a few minor characters all the women were either annoyingly childish or "mustache-twirling"…
The series becomes a bit of a slog after Jiang Taohua goes over the cliff. The plot line with Wuyin wasn't as well-paced as the first one plus the two leads were apart more than together. The two of them working together in part one made it enjoyable.
Stellar casting, great acting, an intriguing story, and a genuinely capable female lead. Right up my alley. So…
I agree that the series feels choppy. I have to keep rewinding because I feel like I missed a transition, but there actually wasn't one. Someone downthread mentioned the editing. I'm no expert, but that could be it.

That's the first thought that popped into my mind.
