Embarrassment of time-waste sh!tshow.

3/10.

1 star for Na Rae, Hong Chul & DinDin trying to make something out of this sh!tshow and, also Lee Si Young to trying to fulfill whatever the creators of the show wanted from the cast. Rest of the cast was just forgettable at best. I know there are many Dex's fans on here but, for me Dex & Jonathan were too awkward and cringe, esp Dex's immersion was downright embarrassing.

1 star for Episode 6 & its main character - the reporter guy. Only episode 6 is funny and worth watching (however still skipping almost half of it), and possibly if I were to know about the episodes content, I would have skipped it all and just watched the episode 6.

1 star for the supporting cast/zombies/rest-of-the-non main cast-survivors for their convincing performance, wish the rest of the main cast could learn something from them.

Basically, this is a sh!tshow. Skip it. Still want to watch this one, then watch just episode 6, there would not be anything of loss in continuity worth-while.

Because this is such a time-wasting sh!tshow, just for the fun of it, I'm going to attempt to rewrite this review that treats this show like a diamond in the rough, except it's more like a pebble in a sandbox. Trust me, this show has its own version of 'not worth it' written all over it, with a font size bigger than the screen.

----

With an overall rating of 3 out of 10, this reality TV show scarcely manages to tread the line between engagement and bewilderment. The minimal commendations within this narrative fall upon the valiant attempts of Na Rae, Hong Chul, and DinDin to navigate the stormy waters of a production rife with inconsistency. Notably, Lee Si Young diligently endeavors to fulfill the enigmatic expectations the creators have bestowed upon the cast, demonstrating a degree of commitment.

The ensemble, however, leaves much to be desired. A majority of the cast dissolves into obscurity, a chorus of forgettable performances that fail to resonate. Admittedly, fervent admirers of Dex may beg to differ, yet the chemistry between Dex and Jonathan often feels palpably awkward, even to the point of inducing cringes. Dex's forays into immersion, a supposed highlight, often cascade into moments of painful embarrassment.

Remarkably, a glimmer of redemption graces the realm of the show in the form of Episode 6, bearing a protagonist of intriguing qualities - the reporter. Amidst the somber landscape, this episode emerges as an island of amusement, albeit one that necessitates judicious skipping of certain portions. It is here that the show briefly flares with the promise of what could have been.

An additional star finds its place within the constellation of appraisal for the supporting cast, particularly the zombies and the initial survivors. Their portrayal resonates with a semblance of conviction, underscoring the potential yet untapped by the larger ensemble.

In summation, the show falters in its execution, leaving an unsatisfying aftertaste. The discerning viewer would be prudent in electing to bypass this particular offering altogether. However, should curiosity persist, the recommendation rests in limiting the investment to Episode 6, where a semblance of comedic respite resides, and the toll on narrative continuity remains negligible.
