Let's talk about the K-drama that proved Korean high school students are biologically prepared for trauma: "All of Us Are Dead". This 12-episode blend of zombie apocalypse and high school drama is the equivalent of an IV drip of caffeine. The viewer will find themselves completely hooked. Frankly, despite its length, the show never slows down, a major achievement for a genre that typically reaches its peak after the first bite. The acting is truly superb; every terrifying scream feels earned, and the high-stakes portrayal of friendship, love, and familial bonds provides an emotional foundation before the writers tear it apart with a rusty chainsaw. The virus's origin story is also well-explained, which is refreshing, as most zombie stories simply shrug and point to a suspiciously large meteorite.
But now, let's address the elephant in the classroom – the pure, unadulterated injustice that permeates this series like a malignant type of narrative virus. The Tyranny of the Immortal Bully!
While I loved the engagement, there was a deeply unsettling feeling that the writers might secretly despise positive outcomes. For example, Gwi-nam isn't just a bully, but a psychopathic criminal. Yet, the show embellishes his near-immortality. He's the cockroach of the apocalypse! Cheong-san gouged out Gwi-nam's eye to protect himself, but Gwi-nam finally avenged him. For a moment, there was a desperate, sweet, cinematic yearning for justice. Eun-gi, the victim of injustice, turned into a zombie, but Gwi-nam couldn't be punished because the writer wasn't interested in a positive outcome. Gwi-nam was allowed to take his revenge until the final dramatic moment, but not his victims. It makes you feel like the entire series was written by a nihilist who only believes in bad karma.
The Antidote of Lies and the Father Who Shouldn't Have Died!
The parade of injustice continues! Remember On-jo's father? The dedicated firefighter who crisscrossed the devastated city, saving strangers, to finally reach his daughter... and promptly became a zombie victim? This was the writer's main aim: to spark a glimmer of hope, only to brutally extinguish it faster than the science teacher explaining the word "antidote."
Speaking of the science teacher: What was with that whole "Antidote in my laptop!" goose chase? The poor soldiers spent precious time watching his recorded lectures, only to discover that there was no antidote, just a man desperately trying to prove how clever he was by inventing a deadly virus. It's like a villain sending the hero on a treasure hunt, and the reward is a note that says, "Haha, April Fool!"😄
This series has made killing everyone into an art. If a character gets a new girlfriend, they die. If a character finally admits they like someone, they die. If they even show some basic competence, they die. Honestly, it's amazing how they managed to save the few survivors, probably because the writers ran out of negativity for the last five minutes.
Overall, "All of Us Are Dead" was good entertainment, but I also felt it was written by a very negative, hopeless, and somewhat psychopathic writer. It's a well-crafted show that will have you screaming at your screen for its lack of objectivity. Go watch it, but maybe keep a therapist on speed dial. This is my honest feedback, hope you like it!

"All Of Are Dead"what a movie.This is one of my best zombies series movie I have watched.Immediately you start it you wouldn't wanna miss any single scene.
It keeps you at the edge of your seat,for you want to see every episode.
And my favorite character is Gwi-nam. He is a hambie (half-human, half-zombie) with a mutated version of the virus that grants him extraordinary regenerative abilities, making him almost immortal in the series. Gwi-nam is notorious for constantly returning after seemingly fatal injuries, including brutal falls and attacks, which cements his reputation as one of the most resilient characters on the show.
Looking forward to watching season two.
Thanks for updating @untilwelearn.

Jjaja, me rei mucho, con que ya al final dejo bajo un poco la negatividad, y nos dejo sobreviviente y de acaso, porque si me dio cosa el hermano de la arquera, no se lo merecia 😭 habian llegado tan lejos. Pero bueno, en realidad me entretuvo mucho y espero con ansias su segunda temporada, a ver en que nos sorprende.
Haha, I laughed so much! It's nice that the negativity toned down a bit towards the end, and it left us with a survivor, and maybe even a bit of luck, because I really felt bad for the archer's brother; he didn't deserve it 😭 They'd come so far. But anyway, I was really entertained and I'm eagerly awaiting the second season to see what surprises await us.
