Let me preface by saying that I love the zombie genre so I will pretty much watch anything with zombies in it. I think it's the thrill of the chase and the simple survival theme that makes it fun and exciting which is why this show was so disappointing. It felt too contrived and scripted and the stupid mission games disrupted the sense of urgency that comes with the zombie genre. I had mixed reactions with Season 1 too, but this season was far worse. I wish they had made this show more like the zombie episodes in The Great Escape which was done so well. In the Great Escape, you can feel the cast member's fear and urgency to survive. There was a narrative and clues that helped them figure out what to do on their own so it felt more genuine. I get that this is more of a scripted show, but there's a way to do it more naturally. The script was so obvious and jarring like a slap in the face. I don't mind that the acting is bad and the cast are laughing at the silly acting as it is funny at times, but to make every scenario predictable and forced just dulls things. Where's the thrill and fun in that?

DISLIKES:
1) The stupid mission games - if you are going to go in this direction, at least make the games exciting. Most of them were so lame esp the curling game. so boring and felt so out of place.
2) Too many cast members. S1 had it's issues, but the cast chemistry was good. You should have capitalized on that esp with fan favorites like Dex and Siyoung. But in S2, by introducing too many new members, less time is given to each so nobody can really show anything.
3) Too much screen time given to the Extras. I really didn't need to watch the twin athletes showing their stunt moves or the annoying ajumma trying desperately to get the cast to do what the staff wanted for the script.
4) The lack of urgency. There were too many times where it felt like the zombies or even the cast members were just "waiting" for their turn. Like you knew the zombies wouldn't bite key members and were just "waiting" for the extras or the less popular members or waiting for their cue from the staff to kill or be killed. Like the whole ending bit on the bridge was so dumb. They were basically waiting for their cue to "fall" off the bridge.
5) The split teams - by having the teams split up, the story didn't feel cohesive

LIKES:
1) DEX - I just love this guy. Huge fan. I find him so entertaining, but he did not get to showcase his coolness in this season although his hurtle jumps were impressive lol
2) Si Young - I love her. I love how tough she is. I love her bulldozer ways. and I love her relationship with hong chul
3) Din Din and Hong Chul - I think both of them are needed in this show. Both are quick witted, sly, and have leadership that helps move the story forward.
4) Sae Ho - I normally don't find him funny, but his bad acting was hilarious here
5) Sung Jae and Code Kunst - I liked the hint of Sungjae's bromance with Dex and I liked Kunst's surprising athleticism at the end, but don't think it was enough

I hope the PDs rethink their direction for this show because it could be really great. I think if they can capture what the Great Escape did with their zombie episodes, they'd have a hit show on their hands. Sorely disappointed the potential was wasted.
