The basic plot is never really explained...

...and I'm okay with that. Two bodies sharing the same consciousness - one "handsome" and the other ordinary and unremarkable. How does that come to be - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - who knows. All I know is that I watched (and enjoyed) "All of Us Are Dead" and, while wondering what else the young cast had done before, I came across a Chinese series starring Solomon Park (Lomon) and I was intrigued - I never really expected to find a Korean actor in a Chinese drama - is that a common thing?

Anyway, no spoilers here - just read the show synopsis - the entire enterprise rests on the shoulders of this more-than-capable cast. Good performances, charismatic actors, solid script. Is it faithful to its source material? I have no idea because I couldn't be less interested in a webtoon. All I know is that I enjoyed the whole thing and was sorry to see the gang go. Such a bittersweet ending that I was not expecting.

Oh, I should mention Lomon's performances - he plays two opposing characters and he does so brilliantly - including his turn as "Handsome" Wen Shuai pretending to be "Fatty" Wen Shuai and failing miserably. His performance alone is worth all 38 episodes, but the rest of the cast do hold their own. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.
