I absolutely loved the masterpiece that was Train to Busan - it had cool & interesting zombies, good plot, excellent characters & actors and also managed to completely tear our hearts apart and make us a sobbing mess by the end.

So going into Peninsula I didn't expect it to come even close to 1st one but was still optimistic thanx to the trailers.

Just saw it in the cinema and gotta say - for a 2nd movie it did really great! Actually didn't expect it to be so good, so that was a really nice surprise. The optimism paid off for once.

First movie broke our hearts, this one is more of an action movie and had more fun while still being part emotional here & there.

Character wise it's not a sequel, but zombie & South korea wise it is a sequel - you can take it as a standalone with the prequel set setting...lolz, that became a mouthful XD

The zombies were already familiar, but now we had new ways to deal with them and they were real funny.
Plot was also good and characters & actors did ok and the writers really managed to bring out...how to say it...PTSD from 1st movie at the end? This one's gonna die, no that ones gonna die...the writers really knew how to toy with us and totally bring out the fear/heartbreak of first movie's end, so I for one liked that 'cuz you think you know how it's gonna end, but that's not it.

All in all, it's a good one, I had fun, which did not expect.

Would I recommend to watch it? Totally, it's worth the time :D
