All of Us Are Dead (2022)

Karma is a btch

I have high expectations for this drama after watching its trailer that immediately captured my curiosity but still it is a high school-themed zombie series so that ended my expectations.

The production and its CGI effects are definitely not a cringe-worthy, you could really see the dedication in delivering a worth to be watched zombie kdrama in a Gen Z era so might as well list your survival tips.

Compared with other zombie kdramas, the story is too hopeless. Your survival depends on how you act, it must be good ofcourse. This drama could be a great example in taming ones' human nature in facing a human extinction like a zombie apocalypse. That one should think of the others rather than a selfish survival.

Nonetheless, it was good to be watched for a first round but would not go binge-watch again.

Your usual zombie fare (teen oriented). Can be enjoyable—depending on your mileage

Show doesn’t actually bring anything new to the table. If you’ve watched or read enough post-apocalyptic flicks and books, then you can fairly predict many things. There’ll be jump scares, bits of love interest, in-fightings, and that they’ll whittle down the characters until the end (including the ones you're rooting for).

Directing and production values are good. The library chase is one scene that stands out as fresh in particular. The large cast and multiple storyline keeps you guessing who'll survive, with some characters (and actors) standing out in particular.

While certain parts are gratuitously violent or gory (or both), this might not be a problem for hardcore fans of the genre. Young adults and/or those new to dystopian action might probably enjoy it.

As for me, All Of Us Are Dead is one of those casual watches. It's not one I'll rewatch again but I've got no reason to dissuade others from seeing it.

"Grades aren't important. Being healthy and safe is."

To the person who thought of that trash ending, you need to go. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty unexpected and I never thought it turned out the way it did. I would switch people's deaths for other people if I could. But I love the interactions between the students, WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO HAVE CLASS LIKE THIS. I would like a season 2 just to elaborate on the ending, no need to add more. I dare say this show was better than Squid Game-

Nam On Jo should've, in all honesty, be a supporting character. I guess she was important because of her dad saving them or whatever, but I mean she really could have been the supporting character. Lee Cheong San...AH I LOVE HIM. He's best friend material, I do not care what anyone else says. I loved it when he pushed Lee Na Yeon because of what she did. Speaking of her, I hated her, don't get me wrong. But what Yoon Gwi Nam did to her was a little too much, she was actually trying to do better. He was...I don't know I felt off about him the whole show I didn't like most of the things he did, sorry. Choi Nam Ra was a good character, I liked how she was class president, but nobody apparently listened to her just because her mom was someone important. Lee Soo Hyeok was a little too clingy over Nam Ra, and now that I think about it, so was On Jo. He kept trying to say "If you want to do it, do it to me" or whatever. On Jo kept trying to be the hero and kept telling her the same thing. People, stop telling her before she actually does it. I loved Yang Dae Soo, I think he was the class's binding person, he got along with virtually everyone. Jang Woo Jin and Oh Joon Young are hot, I don't care what anyone says. I mean in general the only ones I didn't like were the adults, except for On Jo's dad, and that funny detective. That detective, Song Jae Ik is hot and funny, he's literally me.

This show is really a master piece. The acting was soo amazing.
Both the main lead couples are made the show. Namra, seyeok,on jo, cheong san my fav ones. the real heroes made this show to become hit. Acting was really on fire. hope we can get season 2. yihyun was my fav actress in school 2021 for her i started to watch the show but later on the four become my fav . I will never forget this master piece. The way they protect their friends from zombies, they
sacrificed them selves for saving their loved ones. Tears rolling my eyes.....I cant ....when cheongsan confessed his love to on jo tears cant stop flowing my years. She realized only the last moment. But is all good. finally i want to say that this is awsome.

To be honest, I don't understand how there as many negative reviews on this as there is.

I personally finished this series in a few days and it was a new look on 'zombies'. It kept me wanting more by the end of each episode. Take for granted that the first 2-3 episodes were a bit slow, but once it got up and running, it kept me wanting more.

Of course with any zombie or horror movie, you're sitting there and thinking "what are you doing?!" and you think that the characters choices are so stupid. I love a good zombie movie or series where they actually acknowledge that there are zombies. The characters aren't clueless to what a zombie is and they have good strategies.

I think that Cheong San should have lived and On-Jo's dad. After everything they went through, only for them to wind up dead in the end really got me. Gwi Nam was on a whole other level with the determined mission to kill Cheong San. It's like he became 'immortal' and then he was just so intent on getting revenge. He was a bully, even in a zombie apocalypse he was still determined to be finish off as a bully.

I also found to be really funny that 3 characters who wind up being asymptomatic are characters with no real purpose. I mean, Nam Ra wound up being a good character in the end, but what about the other strong characters? You have Gwi Nam, which was just a bully who apparently deserved to been immune to actually becoming a zombie. Then you had the girl who was being bullied. Only for her to wind up being a total nuisance in the end. A few characters I found there was no real purpose to them, except to maybe add a little bit more of a story. The assemblywoman was a bit confusing to me as I found there to be no real use to her character.

All Of Us Are Dead (2022) - for me it's interesting at first but then I was lost with what's the purpose or reason why I'm watching it, I realized this sentiment somewhere in the middle of the drama and for the sake to at least finished it has just become my motivation to continue watching. It’s extravagant in all aspects of the drama, especially the props and the make up, the set up but there are scenes that is suppose to be emotional but I didn't felt it somehow because I felt that there is something that is lacking. Some of the characters are also not utilized to its full potential that I felt regretful. There are too many characters as well.

Good first season.

All of Us Are Dead is the typical apocalyptic series which this time tells the story of several students and their fight to survive against zombies.

The premise may seem like deja vu but it's really entertaining. Especially since it takes place in a school, and sometimes we are even entitled to comic relief moments. The series really relied on good production, be it the zombies, the gory and violent scenes. As for the script, I mean, it's fictional but it makes sense, through and through.

The characters are so adolescent representation that it's funny, between impromptu jealousies, friendships, enmities, and love, it was human.

I also liked how much the series also describes human stupidity, like this streamer who goes to the zombie zone just to do live and gain likes and subscribers, it represents our time so much, and is sadly too accurate.

I'm not going to write more, I'll finish saying that the series is good and entertaining, I especially hope that a character will make his return, his character might of seemed dull to some, but he was loyal and combative even if quiet. I hope he is transformed like the new species of zombies (which are not really) and that he will perhaps bring more depth and side to his character next season.

Can't wait for season 2.

Not rlly a review. I just want to share my brain juices. I mean, it kind of is a review. But don't take it to seriously.

I was really sad about finishing penthouse because I was trying to take forever to watch it so I could enjoy it some more, however I finally gave in and finished it. Then about 2 days later started watching All of us are dead.

Okay, so I never really bothered watching it when it first came out because I felt like it'd just be some basic zombie show. And at the time (compared to now after finishing penthouse) I wasn't really into all the blood #romancefreak. However, this has definitely expanded my drama needs to the point I will probably start searching for dramas like this. Before I was mainly only into romance (Because I am a hopeless romantic) however somehow, this show, that I finished in under 24 hours, has completely changed my view on everything for what might be forever.

I am seriously in love with Cheongsan that I might cry myself to sleep tonight. The show made me feel a mix of emotions that I cannot describe. From me gripping my chest at the intensity on a Tuesday night, to nearly crying my eyes out to the point I flooded my whole city.

Now personally about the cast, I would like to say they did an excellent job, maybe not as good as what I've seen before, however it was still empressive AND expressive. And ESPECIALLY the actor for Gwinam. I was on the floor shaking. But also, especially with the work of all the zombies. Even if some of it was CGI, (?) I can't imagine all the work it would take. Just imagine all the zombies walking around though. What I liked about the setting of the show is that it kind of made you feel like you were there. I don't know if that is just because sometimes I am very into a show to the point I imagine myself in the show, or if it is just because of the camera work and the use of long shots. For example the perspective of Nayeon when Cheongsan was in the room. And also when they decided to leave the rooftop, it made me want to be there, like experience it. I am a bit off a big horror fan, but I only really played horror GAMES not really watched horror movies other than classics like, i don't know, Annabelle...?

Even though she kind of barely didn't last, Nayeon was probably my favourite character, despite her wrong doings. But to be honest, it made her more likable. Because it kind of separated her from everyone. Like everyone was on one side, except for her. Which I just found interesting. When she died I was kind of upset. Before I started watching the show, I thought she'd be a half zombie, because I just for some reason thought she'd be one so when she died I was kind of upset, like.. I felt like I lied to myself for like 8 episodes. So I had a lot of reflecting. And I was kind of praying that she was just somehow alive in some way, but then when they were going to bomb everything that REALLY? HURT MY FEELINGS? BECAUSE I SAW MY GIRL NAYEON THERE.

Would I watch again? No. I am not putting myself through 12 hours of pain over and over again. Also my attention span is horrible, and near the end, when it wasn't suspenseful as the other episodes, I did kind of get bored and get distracted. To be fair I was speaking to my friend whilst watching it however it was just, not as entertaining as the other episodes.

Honestly I was sad for all the deaths that happened in this show. whether or not I hated them.

I just rlly liked this show
