It is good and beyond my expection ! Jeongmin JISOO and all cast did a great job and the production and plot is also great. The flow of plot is fast and fun. It really worth to watch. Comedy and zombie together seems fresh and fun combination so I am looking forward to more episodes. Also JISOO is so pretty and her acting is very natural. Her acting is really good and you will not believe she just formally star in two series. Park Jeongmin is a good actor I know him already but he is also really good. Other co-stars all did a great job. The horizontal and vertical moving of scenes also make senses.

They tried to copy «Warm Bodies» (2013) but failed because they added far too many subplots and focused on too many characters and unnecessary scenes. (This is about the live-action adaptation of the novel «Influenza» («인플루엔자») by Han Sangun (한상운).)

The talents were great, from the celebrities to the zombies. The make up and production were good as well, even the BGM and theme songs. The execution, editing, and story flow were what brought this TV production down.

🌟 5 out of 10 🌟

You've reached the end.
