Pick Kingdom instead

Let's say when I saw a zombie movie from South Korea I was quite interested but unfortunately it is a typical Netflix level of production. It's not bad, but it's not good either. The story is set, nothing special, I don't mind if we jump into the middle, people turning zombies, and the main characters need to survive. My problems with these kind of movies when they are not logical.

Oh Joon Woo sends out hes drone to make a phone call, but the battery dies. Seriously? He forgot to check it? And he couldn't charge it after and send it out again? What exactly he wanted to do there? No explanation.

First one zombie breaks into Oh Joon Woo`s place, and later on a zombie breaks into Kim Yoo Bin`s place also. How exactly? Those doors are opening from the flat into the hallway so to push them into the flat is basically impossible and I'm pretty sure if someone tries to pull them open the handle will break before the door gives up. Of course we didn't get any explanation.

They ( I guess the government) were bombing the city, or one part of the city we saw the bombing happening, and also a nice night traffic on the bridge… huh?

Firefighter zombie climbing up on a random rope was also a bit wtf moment. I mean they are mindless zombies like how the TV was showing or clever zombies or mixed bag?

And then they meet with the third character who saves them, gives them water which they are afraid to take because why exactly? Did they met any bad humans during the apocalypse? Or they just saw a lot of movies so they were like wait a minute this random stranger gives us water? But then they are drinking the water they are getting drugged (also i didn't see any explanation how they got drugged but the weirdo not) and then just randomly Kim Yoo Bin won't black out, and also Oh Joon Woo wakes up after 2 minutes. What kind of a shitty drug is this guy using? Also this I will feed my family with you was way too cliche. Just like the helicopter rising from the “deep” at the end but I was kinda expecting that.

So if you want to switch of your brain just watch something with zombies you might like this one, but if you are the same type like me and pisses you up if the main characters are acting stupid just for the drama then just skip this one and watch Kingdom. That series IS quality.
