Watched it all in less than 24 hours.
Nowadays it takes a lot for me to get into a show. Whether it be a show in English or a kdrama. My attention span is not that great so if it doesn’t draw me in within the first 30 minutes or so, I usually don’t stick around. But, as you can tell from the headline, I was REALLY into this one. I had been seeing so many ppl on twitter talk about it but I didn’t think much of it. But then yesterday I was bored and decided to give it a try. I was up until 1am trying to finish the show. The story, the acting, the characters had me all HOOKED. So much happened so fast that I felt like I had lived a whole lifetime by the 3rd episode. This drama definitely deserves all of the hype it’s getting in twitter. Now, ofc there were some things that I didn’t like but that’s literally every show.I highly recommend you check this show out. I promise you won’t be able to predict what happens next bc there’s a twist every few minutes. I can’t wait until season 2!

will get you easily roped in because of its compelling start, how could a zombie drama be boring? cmon.every episode is filled with action and side plot of adults surviving this and then showing the contrast with the teens was what i really appreiciated. i think the story wouldve gotten boring if it only focused on the high schoolers so i appreciated them adding a cop and another adult on the other side surviving. im also very curious if cheongsan is still alive or not because i am an avid believer that he is!! im gonna wait for season 2 patiently...

Watch it! Its awesome
Not everyone likes this type of drama. But if you will give it a try then definitely it will keep you busy watching it. This drama is rollercoaster of emotions. It will make you cry, it will make you angry, it will make you laugh and many more. And i definitely enjoyed this rollercoaster ride. The acting of cast was top notch. They represented every emotion clearly. Believe me i have cried almost in every episode. The acting of people who became zombie was like Oh my god. Its not easy to act like zombie. You will know it if you will watch it.zombie dramas has their own fan base. My favorite thing about this drama was their friendship of cast in drama. Like how they always stayed together and moved forward with each other. They believed in each other and trusted each other.This is a great drama about friendship and sacrifices. When you will think like this will happen next no this drama doesn't goes on as per your imagination. It fooled me every time. If you are a emotional drama fan. Then this is for you. You will cry your heart out. In some scenes you will get goosebumps. A drama about how can minorities can fight back or else let themselves involve in majority. This drama also deals with problem of mental health. This drama plays with your emotions and mind. And you will let drama play with your mind and emotions.
I really loved this drama. Its Awesome. This drama definitely deserves more ratings. The acting of actors, the zombies, the emotions , the sacrifices and main the friendship was next level. Its best zombie drama i have watched so far. I dont know if you will like it or not but its definitely a outstanding drama. I think i will not get over this drama for like 10 days. Binge it. Its an awesome outstanding and i have no words for it drama

You will watch it for the hype, but is it worthy?
Coming from 2016 Train to Busan and its 2020 sequel Peninsula, 2018 Rampant, 2019 Kingdom, and 2020 Alive, K-Zombie variety undeniably is a top-tier. Molding a story that synthesizes actuality and thrill, K-Zombie films and series are definitely no-skip.All of Us Are Dead gives you a notion of being trapped in your school amidst an apocalypse and that's it, we are, once again, to take the same route of emotions, human nature, and morale.
In this perspective, multiple altitudes of development and headway await in its potential, but you will end up looking for the main course.
This is what the show offers: nothing is drawn for one purpose, each connects, each counts, each is just a part of a whole another madness.
Its 12-hour sail provides crammed and lengthy subplots, but amazingly delivers a visual harmony and topnotch performances by the actors.
Imagine a teen-oriented popular afternoon show, but there are zombies in it; this is what All of Us Are Dead brings to the flourishing violent and gore, but socially aware and genuine category of Korean Dramas.

I reviewed because this dorama is amazing. he is really a Dorama that holds your attention a lot watching him once alone after rewatching some chapters and again with my cousin and I don't regret any mome, the story is really really good and you get attached to all the characters really wish there was a second season because the ending is a bit tragic,but the series is still amazing in the same way, every character has their story and their charisma and their reason for wanting to survive and even though they don't have a reason they all fight until the end, the ending left me questioning many things so I think a second season would be good and would have a lot to explore as wellVond je deze recentie nuttig?

A zombie show with an interesting premise, but becomes frustrating to watch gradually.
The show definitely had me the first episode. It has an interesting origins for the zombie virus, and they show you how it starts and how it affects the city throughout each episode. There are different characters, and you see their story and their reasons for doing what they do. There are some characters will you root for. Characters with strong survival skills and logical thinking, and they are similar to Daryl and Michonne from The Walking Dead if you've ever seen it. That's the good I have to say about the show.As for the bad, this show becomes increasingly frustrating to watch. You're going to wonder why certain characters do idiotic things or wait for bad things to happen. Some characters you expect to fulfill their roles later on. One student is big and strong, he carries a door and uses it to hold off some zombies. In a later episode, I expected him to help bust down a door, but instead they had some of the weaker students try to do it. Logically, it makes no sense. Its very irritating to watch.
Speaking of irritating, one of the main antagonists will not go down. There are plenty of chances for him to die, yet because of the virus (aka "plot armor") he just constantly gets back up and gets to do whatever he wants. I get that he's a villain, but as someone who loves well written villains, he needs more. Most characters get flashbacks and a backstory, this one guy does not. If the writers had made him a more relatable, maybe he wouldn't be so annoying. But he's just evil for the sake of being evil.
I understand these are just teenagers, so that may give reasoning for their dumb decision making. However, they make several references to zombie films and are aware of what zombies are. I would think that if they know about zombies, they would know more about how zombies are and how to kill them. But you're not gonna see that for a while, until way later in the series.
All of us are Dead did hook me with the first few episodes, but then it started testing my patience. I really wish they didn't make it so obnoxious to watch in later episodes, and I don't plan on re-watching it again.

all of us are dead :x
as an avid zombie/apocalyptic series watcher, i shall give an objective review on this series..STORY
i think the story as much potential, tho i wont say it has been fully optimized or put to good development in this series? also not comparing to the webtoon since i had not read it. the typical circle for apocalyptic series are simple: outbreak, seeing the human nature (some are selfess, some evil), definitely some exceptions where they have immunity/ half-mutant and of course sacrifices... The story did touch on these, but i felt it could have been done maybe a little more in depth.
so my opinions is:
1. ground zero: i like that in this show, they did explain the source of ground zero. in many series, we do not actually have a reason or clue why there's an outbreak (e.g sweet home, train to busan) . they key was of course a genius scientist, whom in a desperate attempt to save his suicidal kid, developed some sort of drug? that makes you half dead, half alive, hence zombies. so this is what i like because it's quite a wholesome explanation
2. human nature: and of course, in every zombie/apocalyptic series, there's gonna be selfless people and also ppl who annoy the hell out of you. so of course, the star players will be the main troop: cheongsan & suhyeok + i would say mijin & hari because i love that girl crush duo. annoying ones of course: gwi nam, nayeon and jimin?? sorry it was also borderline onjo for me tho her character was okay because she did provided survival guidance as a fireman's daughter?? just felt that she waskinda harsh to cheongsan at times ...
3: mutants: seriously this was the part i felt that most imagination or development can be put to use? main 3 mutants : eunji, gwi nam & namra.
- first, i get that they are highlighting the bullying culture in SK, hence eunji's character? but other than that , she was kinda useless for me tho? and to me kinda unneccessay since she never met up with the main squad at all? it could have been better if she had used her new found life to help the squad and also revenge on gwi nam? i mean that was the direction i had in mind the moment i realize she was mutant? but the writer didnt made her do that so i dont really know the point of her character?
- gwinam, of course there's gonna be a villian out there and it's safe to say gwinam is one of the main villian? like he is so dead bound on killing cheongsan just because he witness him murdering the principal? to me that quite illogical...? and right it might be cheongsan's character but idk why he had to keep provoking gwinam when really his life and death is at stake?? and for me, him having evidence of gwinam killing the principal? but so what? was it really that important when you dont even know you can survive tomorrow? i mean it's a good arc to have to introduce a villian, but i did not find the reason convincing enough .........
- namra, the only mutant in the squad but wasted potential? like it's obvious she has half human half zombies senses, and was of course helpful towards the crew, but she has more potential of course out of her character? but it did not happen? i mean with her abilities, she could have been better used to help the members, or even attract others of her kinds and eventually be a subject for clinicals to develop a cure at the later stage?? but i realize there were mnay scenes where she really just stood and watch ... so it felt like a waste to me though i really like her character?
4. sacrifices: too much in this series, but acceptable for a survival series. main sacrifices: joonyeong, cheongsan. the rest which i felt was unneccessay was : onjo's dad, woojin
- like joonyeong really selfless outthere protecting mijin when minutes ago he was just quarrelling with her? but he did not hesitate to save her and got himself infected in the end. he then ultimately sacrifices himself to draw the zombies away from his friends for their escape...
- same goes for cheongsan like he kinda like the main hero in the series :( honestly felt his death (??) was not neccessary if they had more useful development for some characters out there :( i am not sure how the webtoon ended but i hope he manages to escape as a half mutant like namra (though unlikely given the explosion, and gwi nam injuring his eyes like wtf). if only there was eunji revenge arc/ namra putting his abilities to better use/ introduction of new mutants to the squad in between...
-onjo's dad: honestly i was expecting more from his escapee, or at least hoping he has an encounter with jaeik and the lackey ?? to form a better crackdown team because the militants have their own dilema in saving those kids i get it. and his sacrifice...wasn't really needed i feel...they should have included him in the squad for a longer time frame :(
- woojin; really love it out there when he saved the other girl, and in the end hari ...it was touching but i actually hoped he had survived..
regarding the loveline: it felt like namra and suhyeok was the main, although it might have been onjo and cheongsan. i wish they hadn't included it at all because it wasnt clearly explained or developed enough? like cheongsan and onjo's loveline was clear, because they grew up together.. but namra and suhyeok suddenly? idk... and also suhyeok didnt make it clear to onjo at the end as well too since she confessed to him? and at the back it seems like onjo likes cheongsan? it's kinda messy for me. basically could have be simple, like cheongsan likes onjo, onjo likes suhyeok (not sure why tho, should have had some flashbacks) but later realizes she likes cheongsan. Suhyeok making his feelings clear to both onjo & cheongsan, and also show some flashback how did him and namra ended up liking e/o?) hmmm..
ACTING:
overall, most of the actors and actresses were new faces to me. but i didnt feel any awkward acting so far... probably some characters were not written well enough? but i personally really loved badass characters like hari & mijin? and also namra tho she could have been written for better use i feel... and of course, cheongsan and suhyeok was great there!!
MUSIC/REWATCH
not much music but since i wasn't distracted by any music, i think it was well directed? hmm probably wont rewatch, but i do hope they sign for a S2/3 because the ending doesnt seem simple? because namra is basically alive, mutated with the rest that is like them? and we of course need a key personnel to put them into good use, developing a vaccine or antibodies (like in happiness) so they can return to human form ? and i hope cheongsan is alive somehow... :|
overall, i think it was a good watch tho i felt the series shouild have been an 8 - 10 episodes long if they removed unnecessary characters or plots that did not contribute to the flow of the show... i will just wait for some news if there's a new seaon, like Sweet Home :D

Second leads carry the entire plot
I said that Kingdom and Happiness are the best zombie drama. I will say All of Us Are Dead is the best zombie drama too but in a school drama genre.Additional WARNING that Netflix doesn't tell you:
- It contains sexual graphics (a naked girl shot from behind) in one of the episodes.
I think I should write this in case you are looking for information about whether it's safe to watch it with family <3
Pros:
- Cho Yi Hyun is badass af. She carried the whole drama. Been a fan since she's in Hospital Playlist <3
- School-themed drama. So, the origin of the zombies can seamlessly be explained with scientific theories.
- Creative conflict problem solutions that the watchers don't expect
- Good amount of teen romance stuff
- Not too much comedy but it naturally is there.
- Pretty solid plot. Each episode will make you stay awake and aware. The atmosphere is so intense.
- Realistic dilemma choices faced by the students in the conflicts.
- Zombie species is developed well. You won't find this development in any drama before.
-
Cons:
- Some plot holes are there (like why this student faces this kind of problem etc are not explained) but somehow the entire plot can bury those.
- Main leads failed to lead the show. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. But I gratitude they failed. Choi Namra is a hard carry in this drama! <3
- Production team forgot to explain the details of how to kill the zombies like killing titans in Attack on Titan where everyone must slice the titans' neck. In this drama, sometimes, the zombies die by getting stabbed on the body, getting sliced on their neck, getting shot on their head, etc randomly. The explanation I remember is that they will die when the "host" body is destroyed. But, their "host" body isn't destroyed until the near end of the drama. So, those high schoolers actually didn't kill the zombies and just stunned them?
- Unnecessary sexual violence scene (a naked girl that has been bullied).
- There is no epic music :(
- Shibal, there is too much cursing. It's much better if you don't understand Korean lang.
- We need to wait for the next season to see how the plot ends.
- The writer is obviously forcing them to get trapped in the school lmao.
Extra:
Why majority of watchers love Namra more than On Jo? I think it's because Namra's role is the key to their survival while On Jo is always crying all the time and seems cannot live without people around her. So, I hope the writer does justice for the main leads.

É ASSIM QUE SE FAZ UMA SERIE DE ZUMBIS!
Tenho que admitir que quando decidi assitir esse drama esperava algo bem clichê onde ninguém morre, de alguma forma todo mundo é especialista em sobreviver e os adolescentes são as pessoas mais maduras que existem. Mas eu tava muito errada! Essa foi uma das melhores coisas que eu já assisti. Não tenho nem palavras para descrever o quanto amei isso, a música, a atuação, a direção, tudo é incrível. Eu simplesmente amei como os personagens cometeram erros e tiveram que aprender com eles da maneira mais difícil, em vez de serem protegidos pelo escudo do personagem principal e nunca se machucarem.Cada episódio me deixava maluca imaginando o que estava acontecendo e ansiosa por outro episódio. O que é muito difícil, considerando que tenho pouquíssima atenção e geralmente me canso de assistir depois do 7º episódio.
Os personagens secundários foram MUITO bem desenvolvidos, com histórias, personalidades e tramas interessantes.
A única coisa que acho que falta nessa série é o romance. Sinceramente não achei que a série precisava de romance nesse momento, mas eles decidiram fazer isso e a forma como trataram a relação dos personagens principais foi um pouco estranha, mas vou deixar passar porque não era o propósito da série e o relacionamento dos personagens secundários foi legal.
A única coisa que me arrependo é de não ter assistido antes.

best kdrama ever
It was an interesting time to watch a virus infested, post apocalyptic kdrama. This kdrama was so entertaining, I gave myself over to this story's original premise. Beautifully shot with a stunning setting. Great action and leads I really cared about. When I heard of this Korean high school zombie series I was interested, despite the subject matter being done to death over the years. Then I saw the trailer and thought it looked amazing. Having just finished up the show, I can confirm that this is one of the most entertaining shows out there.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
