Amazingly executed apocalypse drama
I really like apocalypse dramas but this one was just really well done.When I first heard about it I was gonna watch it for Park hung silk and Han Hyo Joo, but after I watched the first episode I was so hooked and as every episode came out it slowly became one of my favorite apocalypse dramas and here’s why also NO SPOILERS AHEAD.Characters
Our Oppa Park hung silk plays the character of Jung Yi Hyun. He is the type of male lead that is mean to everyone else but not for his girl, and he would do anything to protect her.He has anger issues especially when someone comes for his precious wife.
And then we have the amazing Han Hyo Joo playing the character of Yoon Sae Bom. In this drama she is a very bad ass girl boss, she’s the female lead that helps the male lead keep his emotions in check. Yoon Sae Bom is so funny in this drama she helps others and takes action in a crisis
Plot
The reason why I think this drama is interesting is because this infectious disease which is happening by pills but also if you get bitten or scratched then you turn into this creature/ zombie thing. But what stood out to me was that they can switch back, for example the zombie could be biting someone and then all of a sudden they are very confused why they are doing this.But at the same time they’re fully aware that they just ate someone. So it was very interesting in the aspect that people are hiding the fact that they killed someone so that they won’t lock you away.Every episode takes you by surprise.
Romance
I love this couple so much they were so refreshing to see.There dynamic is literally becoming one of my favorites, it’s so realistic and there is just no pressure in the relationship between them. A casual friendship where intimacy isn’t weird, they can depend on each other, don’t hesitate to save each other and know each others family.So in most romance dramas everything is just so up in the air and everything has to mean something.For an example if he calls you pretty, its like ‘omg does he like me, what does this mean’ like he literally just gave you a compliment why does their have to be so much pressure in the and I don’t mean it in a bad way like I enjoy those dramas as well but it was just nice to see this couple progress through the drama.
OST
The soundtrack isn't important but I have to talk about it.Who ever picked the music for this drama obviously did not read the script. The music was always so calming like I have actually heard it in meditation videos and sometimes in the background of you-tubers videos to avoid copyright claims. Like for a drama so intense you could have picked more upbeat music. But in the positive there were some good songs that I liked and some that did fit the action scenes.My favorite song in the entire OST is What Lies Ahead-Joe Layne and it's a slow calm song, so yeah I'm a hypocrite 🥸😂.
Note:The title is very misleading so if you like happy dramas with romance and fluffy characters this isn’t for you. But I still recommend it even if you not a fan of the thriller genre.
I totally recommend this drama. And I hope this review helped😁.

Entertaining Hot bodies and drama everywhere and I liked it.
This was my first Korean dating show I was never interested in them until it was trending on TikTok and I was intrigued. And when I started I couldn’t stop, I do recommend this show but I have more to say. This will not have spoilers.The contestants
- Yewon - Ugh this women is absolutely beautiful and she is so under appreciated on he island. The people behind the show did her so dirty by not giving her enough screen time like how are not more guys after her. Also I like how she takes this show very lighthearted. She doesn’t get upset if she get rejected or even when she was left on the island. Yewon is just here to have fun and maybe make some friends. I just love her and I think based on what I’ve seen she’s become a fan favorite and that makes me really happy.
- Jia- Now lets move on to the one the only Jia. I love Jia she is very flirtatious and charming and absolutely gorgeous I can understand why she has every man at her feet. Also I’m really happy for her she’s gotten a lot more subscribers on her YouTube channel (Freezia) But actually I think I’ve gotten to like her more after watching her YouTube videos then actually watching her on the show. And not because on the show she is a bad contestant but I think her videos reflect more on who she actually is. And the reason I love Jia is not because she is gorgeous of course she is stunning but I like her more because she’s and independent women who see’s her self worth.
- Si hun- I think he is really nice but like a lot of the guys in inferno he really doesn’t take advantage of the fact that there are other girls in the island he sticks to one which isn’t bad its sweet but not when she rejects you.
- Hyun Joong- This man I actually really like him from the begging I could kinda tell he was shy and introverted and is very honest about his feelings. And he doesn’t raise any red flags he’s not problematic if I’m being honest like when he sees the girl he likes with someone else he doesn’t get mad or get in his feelings which is completely normal to show emotion in that situation, but he doesn’t because he trusts her and I think thats really cute.(I won’t spoil who he likes)
- Jun silk- Screen time who? Okay just so we are clear this man is not contestant like legit I think we seem him in two frames each episode.But in regards I do like him cause he’s nice and appreciates yewon from the very beginning so I like that he saw my girl.
- Jin taek - To be honest I was so suspicious of him in the beginning because it seemed like he was coming for a fling. But I did go through a rollercoaster with my feelings on him but overall I think he’s very sweet and I do like him.
- So yeon- I love this women so much for real like she is legitimately amazing, maybe I like her so much because her personality is most similar to mine. And she is so loved and appreciated by everyone in the show I think she really is close and is friends with everyone because she is so comfortable and friendly.
- Ji yeon- I don’t love or hate this girl she is so so pretty but I don’t know she is just there for me and some of her actions in the show get me honestly a bit suspicious.
- Se hoon- I think he can be very sweet and nice but he doesn’t make good decisions. I can’t say a lot because it will be a spoiler.
- Soo min- I am so happy this pretty pure hearted girl came into the show at the end because I think if she was here from the begging she would be under appreciated and not seen and we would fell bad for her but she is way to nice and sweet that I can’t handle seeing her get hurt.
- Min ji- Also stunning I think she would be so entertaining so I wish she could’ve come in from the beginning of the show because she is feisty and doesn’t give up on the man she wants.
- Hyun seung- This leaves me to the new boy which is personally my type out of all the men he is the type of man who is muscly and looks strong and hard to approach but when you get to know him you realize how sweet and soft he is. Also just the fact that he has tattoos makes me love him.
Concepts/ plot
The concept of the show is actually not bad at all but I do think that if you think about it in a different way, I realized that the show as the contestants say is very “cruel”. It’s very entertaining for us but when I think about the contestants I’m like this is there real life but at the same time I don’t think its that bad cause at the end of the show everyone said that they learned things that will carry on with them throughout there life and that they have all become very close friends which made me so happy, I was expecting everyone to be in completion with the other because of a girl or a guy but everything turned out smoothly but the show can get boring sometimes to be honest.
I do recommend this show hope my review helped I try my best not to give spoilers.

A confusing, blood boiling movie.
Before I start, warning there will be some spoilers here and there so if you are planning on watching this movie and want to be surprised don't read this.Let me start off with the good things I liked about this movie. I loved the realistic aspect of marriage that was in this movie. Watching it I was very impressed by how they made this movie a great portrayal of modern day couple. I also loved the acting because I never wanted to punch a character more than I wanted to punch Jang‑hyuk in this movie, god damn he made my blood boil.Which leads me to the bad things of this movie.
First of all, Jang‑hyuk you never thought to think once to tell people at your work or just Han Bo‑yeong that you are married. Y'all were flirting and dropping hints back and forth, but not only to put a red line but to just let her know that you are married even if she was fine with it, you still had to tell her. Second of all Jang‑hyuk is such a horrible husband, he never once asked her how she was doing or if everything was good with her.He came back from work and complained about how she asks him to take out the trash, Well no shit your married, both partners need to work together in order to have a healthy relationship.
The ending, I didn't think it was that bad honestly I was pretty satisfied with it. I loved how he realized that he made a big mistake leaving her, and went back for her, but karma was doing its job he had it coming. And I'm not taking her side, neither of them did the right thing but I think it happened for the best like if they continued their relationship I don't think they would be that happy or satisfied, They were cute when they dated but I think the ending was for the best for both of them. Hope this helped.
