The cheesiness was too much for me but I ride-or-die for Jun

I came to watch Wen Junhui in a male lead role as a fan. The drama is a fluffy youth/coming-of-age romance drama where the male lead is the cold studious older-brother-like childhood friend but secretly whipped for the cute naive little-sister-like female lead.
The romance was a bit cringe and cheesy because it was pretty stereotypical. I think Junhui expressed hidden affection quite well but I understand some people may not like his character because Lingchao is quite reserved, withdrawn and deadpan, but imo that's what makes it funnier when he does out-of-pocket things for the female lead.
I actually like the second male lead a lot, his love was very sweet. I think the actors did well within the script they were given.

I came for the romance but the side characters frustrated me so much

I happened upon a random Youtube clip of this drama which made me absolutely bawl my eyes out and want to watch this drama. I can say that the best parts of the drama are the vulnerable scenes with only the main leads as that's where we see the actors' good chemistry and skills.
The story has a good premise (basically a pandemic but with zombies) and I did read some of the webtoon it is based on. The side characters make really stupid decisions which I know is supposed to illustrate the classism between the more rich tenants and the poorer tenants in the apartment building, along with other personal issues the characters have, but goddamnit this is a zombie apocalypse and these people don't have a single ounce of logic. The main leads are officers so they use their power to boss around the tenants for the safety of the community, which can be considered abuse of power, but these people are so stupid, I can almost excuse this.
Overall, I would say watch this if you like zombie stories or a couple who are ride-or-die for each other, and maybe skip some parts by reading summaries.
