Do Not Miss This Drama. Must Watch
This drama is by far one of the most entertaining 'zombie' dramas which I have come across. I loved "Train To Busan" which aired in 2016 and no other Zombie movie or drama has come close, until now.All Of Us Are Dead gives us a refreshing perspective of how Zombies are dealt with by teenage students from a Korean High School. One would think that it will be kid stuff. As I entered it's first episode, I found that nothing about the show is 'kiddish'. This is one drama that had me on the edge of my seat right until the last episode. The speed of which human transformed into Zombies was mind boggling and to see the students having to think on their feet and coping with disagreements, friendship, love, sacrifice and even putting their studies to good use, enthralled me, as they kept moving forward to save themselves in throes of un-certainty.
All the teenagers in this drama deserve compliments for their acting especially Yoon Chang Young (Chung San) and Park Soloman (Soo Hyuk). There were nine of them who carried most of the episodes, and their friendship was comfortable to watch. They truly had each others' back.
Regardless of which genre of dramas you belong to, this drama is worth the day and time for you to sit back and make time to watch. The show is well directed, acting met the mark, the scenes well captured and most important, the Zombies performed in perfection. I watched a 'behind the scene' for this show and all the actors took many hours to rehearse their Zombie movement. Such dedication was well reflected and brought much authenticity to the drama.
I look forward to the continuation of "All Of Us Are Dead". The show left us in anticipation of what could have happened to some of the transformed students and all other possibilities. I look forward to watching all the savvy, kick ass students coming together in their continued journey to survive amongst Zombies ..... or not?
This series is highly recommended for you to watch. Do not carry a high expectation, in case you get disappointed. Perhaps, just keep an open mind.
Enjoy!

Should you watch it?....
"All of Us Are Dead" is one of my new top favorites. The plot was scripted very well and the director did a good job overall. I do feel bad for the cast because of everything they had to go through. However, all of their hard work has paid off. Great acting, visuals, music, and storyline. I would 100% watch it again. If you think it looks interesting but aren't a huge fan of zombies, blood and gore. Give this film a shot. I love thrillers, but I have never been huge on zombies or lots of blood/gore. But I really got into this film.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Teenage drama with zombies
All of Us Are Dead (2022)Likes
1. Cheongsan and Suhyeok friendship. CS always leads and SH follows him. But Suhyeok didnt even cry when CS died but was willing to get bitten by Namra.
2. Joonyeong, Hyeongsu, Wujin who sacrificed themselves to save their friends. Even Isak's death was sad.
3. Onjo's dad who found a way to save his daughter.
4. I didnt like Onjo and Namra to end up with the two boys and they really didn't haha!
5. They tried to add depth to the story but hard when there's too many characters but at least they still tried, even for just the main team.
Dislikes
1. Gwinam won't die!! There's no explanation why he is super strong and recovers fast other than needing to have a villain in the school.
2. Namra was useless as a halfbie. She just served as their radar to detect other zombies. She is supposed to have special strength like Gwinam but during zombie attacks she hides behind and do nothing except in the end. Actually most of the girls were pretty much useless and let the boys do the fighting. Onjo as the lead was a damsel in distress.
3. Unnecessary deaths like Onjo's dad, Cheongsan, Wujin.
4. Unnecessary plot like the preggy girl, Jaeik, assemblywoman, youtuber, little girl.
5. Unresolved issues like Nayeon should have had a chance to ask forgiveness but got killed by Gwinam. Gwinam fighting with Cheongsan instead of Eunji getting her revenge. Aftermath of Hyosan bombing. How to stop the virus.
I still enjoyed this despite the dislikes. Better if they kept this at 8 or 10 eps. Not sure about the ending.
Rating: 8/10

Zombies + High School = Good Times
This show combined two things I love - zombies and high school drama! While the middle of the series felt rather bloated, I mostly enjoyed this interesting take on zombie lore with a large ensemble cast.❤ The opening shot of the show does a phenomenal job of showing all of Hyosan High School’s various locals. And, boy, does it not disappoint in allowing the school to be the showcase of the series. We get to see action sequences and zombie hoards everywhere in the school, from stampeding into the cafeteria to hunkering down in the gym’s storage unit.
❤ While the romances are always secondary to the zombies, they are still wonderfully executed. One love story revolves around an unrequited love between two long time friends, and the other romance focuses on the class president and a former bad boy. What’s not to love?
❤ At the heart of this zombie drama is friendships - both those made prior to the outbreak and those made in the desperate days afterwards. All of the main teams lose party members, and their deaths are impactful because we’ve seen the deep bonds of affection between them all.
❤ Part of the charm of the show is the levity it brings in the middle of all the darkness and despair. I do think it has a rather hopeful ending, but it still hurts. It is, after all, a zombie show so be prepared to lose some of your favs along the way.
❤ Cheong-san showed up and did his homework. The actor, Yoon Chan-young, has made a fan for life. He had so many excellent action sequences, heartfelt emotional breakdowns, and spades of chemistry with all of the cast.

Potential to become a Masterpiece
It is an amazing and outstanding series. The characters are very well created, and brilliantly played by their actors. The story had the potential to be epic. But unnecessary killing of characters made it lose the potential of becoming a masterpiece. I know it's important to kill some characters or their loved one's so we can understand a tiny fraction of the remorse that they would feel, but killing without any need is not the right way. It pains me to state that this could have been a masterpiece. Only if they went in a little different direction.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The world is hell with or without the zombies
It's a longer ride than usual, with 12 hours of runtime, it works perfectly to capture how the youths are pretty much exhausted surviving the living hell of a society with or even without the zombies. The Koreans are always good not only on the actions during apocalypse, but they further explores the problematic moral views surrounding it, the societal illness which no one else will ever be able to change the system. Definitely appreciate the immense amount of effort from the production team in designing its action choreography and all the great actors, gifting viewers a lively and beautiful zombie series.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
All of Us are Dead
- Gets you hooked on.- Most characters involved has displayed their own unique sets of personality and characteristics.
- I like how they decided to use the color theory for students to wear green uniforms so the blood can stand out.
- Lots of characters. (There's bound to be one you like.)
- Some deaths are unnecessary and easily avoidable.
- If you're looking for a light zombie k-drama, this is the one for you.
- One of the only zombie k-dramas where the main characters do not have guns.

Just Watch,no talk!
Undoubtedly, All of us are dead is one of the best and top worldwide Netflix series of 2022 so far. Firstly, I don’t watch zombie movies or series but this is something else. After "Train to Busan", All of us are dead is the most promising show based on a Zombie apocalypse. All the characters did well. It's a series that someone hardly can skip any scenes. The production of this show was so good. I saw the promotion and advertisement of this series,it was very unique. Thanks to the Director for this amazing show and I do appreciate him.Season 2 is just announced by Netflix, waiting for it. Till then,watch and re-watch

All of us are dead
Então vamo lá: Não achei que mais ninguém fosse morrer mas me enganei.Não sei se gostei desse fim não. O drama todo foi bom mas passei tanta da raiva que só a graça o que é normal, fiquei meio assim? por conta de que eles tinham como saber o começo do vírus e acredito que poderiam ter estudado mais sobre ele sabe.
Mas no geral o drama foi bom, gostei do enredo, dos personagens também e gostei de como começou e de como terminou.
Como tinha falado antes ele é bem mais agressivo do que outros sobre o tema que eu tinha assistido.

You should definitely watch it.
“All of Us Are Dead” is Netflix’s fifth biggest non-english-language original series, it is a K-drama which you must binge-watch. The pace and the well-executed storyline is worth appreciating which makes it a a thrilling and highly addictive drama.Its about a high school, which becomes the ground zero of a zombie outbreak, so the hot-headed teen survivors are trapped and try to escape from the zombies. Will they accomplish?
The show contained all the stereotypical-students you could think of. The actors were fully immersed into their roles and poured their hearts on acting out the characters. The main cast are Choi Yi-hyun, Park Solomon, Chan-Young Yoon and Park Ji-hoo. Each of them acted flawlessly. The witty sides of the characters kept the show balanced and the ominous mood kept the audience on the edge. Moreover, the cliffhangers were full of next level suspense.
Additionally, The set was well-built and was sort of tricky and uncomfortable for the cast to act on yet they succeeded. Similarly, the props were realistic; nothing was too extravagant. As well as, the hard work of the actors, who played as the zombies is worth mentioning; they were one of the fast-moving zombies which separates it from the other zombie apocalyptic shows. I would also like to give credits to the breathtaking sound effects. However, the OST was a little bit of tone down and I think it could have been better. As well as they could have added some short-duration scenes which shows the background of each character or their will to live.
The show had many climatic scenes and conveyed different messages also deep thoughts. The emotional attachment of the children/parent bond had me moved. And of course the characters’ friendships, they always had each other’s back and were willing to sacrifice themselves in order to save the others.
This series gives us a idea of bullying, unity and the harsh reality of the selfish people, who only care about themselves. On the other hand, it also shows people who can risk their lives for their loved ones or even strangers.
This show has taught me how i should handle big problems without panicking, not blaming each other, teaming up and always being nice to others because you never know when your life’s gonna end.
Overall it was a fantastical show. Each and every single second kept me off the hook and watching it was like a roller coaster full of emotions and suspense. I highly recommend people to watch “All of Us Are Dead” and praise the team for their absolutely stunning hard-work. Lastly, kudos to the director Lee Jae-kyoo for making such a amazing K-drama.

good
first i want to say this is definitely overhyped. many are comparing it to train to busan (its even mentioned in the show that it's like train to busan) but other than the fact that there are zombies, the similarities end there.in my opinion, the characters were hits and misses. some of them like hyoryeong (the girl with the bob), joonseong (the chubby kid with the archers) and jimin, to name a few, were kinda just there. they didn't really serve a purpose to the storyline nor did they help with anything. i guess all stories have characters more vital than others but these characters were just dragging everybody else down. especially with the number of times hyoryeong trips when theyre running away. like there's nothing to trip on??? just run better
also dont get me started on jimin. she has been antagonistic to me from the start. she didn't help with anything—all she did was cry during that one drone scene once she found her parents as zombies. she would constantly attack other kids in the group for being selfish blah blah but she left hyoryeong behind when they were running away. granted she did accidentally go the wrong way and got bitten after lol karma moment
then there were the side characters who kinda had their own scenes like eunji and cheolsu. they stayed on the roof for majority of the first half doing what..? talking? their story was kind of irrelevant because other than providing the soldiers with the knowledge that asymptomatic patients could exist, there was really no reason for them to be there. especially cheolsu. bro did nothing, selfish from the beginning and selfish till the end. choosing to not open the door when the main characters were trying to get onto the roof was such a dick move but he also died later at the camp soo karma strikes again
i wanted nayeon to have her redemption arc because she got a whole scene where she was regretting her actions and wanting to make it up to the rest of the characters by bringing them food and drinks, but gwinam kills her like 5 seconds later. there was no point in that whole buildup if she was only gonna die before apologizing to them.
also, we never really got a scientific explanation for the people who were half zombies like gwinam, namra and eunji. how was namra able to "will" the zombie part of her out when she needed to? how was she able to suppress the temptation of biting her friends? shes shown at the end of the finale that she's alive and well, meaning that she's been feeding off of dead zombies ? lol and the science teacher who created the virus... he was kind of random imo like he kept talking about how maybe the world would be better if everyone died or we shouldn't have hope or something pessimistic along those lines and then he sacrificed himself so that the cop get out... idek anymore
this is way longer than i intended it to be but the more i type the more nonsensical things i think about !! LMFAO!! cheongsan's mother was kind of dumb ngl like she saw one of his friends limping around as a zombie and she approached him?? bro can you not see hes not human anymore?? she died so easily too... all she provided to the story was an emotional moment for the group when they finally see her as a zombie. ALSO the commander that issued the bomb strikes.. he said in the video he recorded that he takes full responsibility for the bombings yet shoots himself right after. thats not taking responsibility? what happened to him ? do they find the body?
on a more positive note, i got attached to cheongsan and namra the most i think. they both were such important parts of the story and i was so so sad when cheongsu died. that idiot gwinam just couldn't leave him alone fr. and namra,, she was so cool. she stayed calm the whole time and noticed nayeon intentionally infecting gyeongsu. she even helped them after she got bit when we all know full well she could've bit them all given the many chances she had. cheongsan's character was down to earth and boyish and easy to like. he was fast and brave and willing to die for his friends and also had his vulnerable moments and that made him seem the most human to me
i dont want to make this longer than it needs to be but even tho i talked abt a lot of negative aspects i still enjoyed this drama! tears were shed and hearts were broken but overall this show made little sense and not enough for me to rewatch it
