More than just zombies
I loved this drama, it has everything I have learned I enjoy in a story. Starting with zombies/apocalypse that puts characters at the edge and tests their limits, through romance that feels genuine and makes you root for the couple, mystery and twists that keep you on edge and of course characters you despise from the bottom of your heart.
The disease outbreak that the story follows is such a cruel one, infected lose themselves to an extreme thirst that only blood can quench, but they regain their conscience soon after and are met with a dreadful realization that they cannibalized someone, someone most likely close to them. And most terrifying of all? They were happy doing all that.
Amidst this cruel reality the writers decide to show us what happiness could be and how to achieve it. For some it comes from holding certain social standing, others find it in having money or fame, but all of that pales next to the happiness that comes with having close relationships. Because sharing your life with someone is what lets you pull through the worst and that’s what I think this drama shows again and again through its characters.
And the romance. Sae Bom came into Yi Hyun’s life like a typhoon and with one quick shove managed to push him from the standstill he found himself in after a career-ending injury. With that, his years-long yearning began. Their relationship feels so genuine, like they had already meant so much to each other long before they moved in together. And as they face difficulties throughout the show, they slowly realise just how much they truly mean to one another. I love them together so much!
