A sombre apocalypse
Calling this an enjoyable watch feels wrong given I was holding in my stomach for most of it, either at the nail-biting tension or the exploding moments of gore and blood. But it was an excellent show. It built up the sense of crisis, the hopelessness and through it, the characters. The relationships that were formed were organically done and realistic, and thus made you root for characters sometimes simply because of what they meant to everyone else. This show did really well in highlighting the importance of family and social rootedness because people are stronger when compassion is plentiful. I've always found Korean shows to be thoughtful in the social analysis of these things and this show hinted well at that.The other thing they did well with was the issue of survivors' guilt. Living on felt very difficult for characters but giving up was a betrayal of the memory and sacrifice of those who died for them to live. I thought the show was beautifully written in that way. The casting was good and there was an innocent charm to a lot of these characters, who ultimately, were just teenagers having a very rotten school week.
The standout character was Nam-ra and her ending was beautiful and deserved. Her struggle for clinging onto her humanity manifesting in that feral shriek of despair at the end really underlined the sheer goodness of her character, her overwhelming desire to hold onto the essence of who she is and not give in. I give the show 5 stars for how it wrote her, she quickly grew into the most interesting character.
The show had some excellent sections. Moments when they were trapped in one place for too long only to escape and get trapped elsewhere within the school and then during the second half of the show when their movement was more fluid and constant simply because staying in one place, they realised, was just delaying the impending doom. The final two episodes of the show blew me away because many things I did not expect to happen took place. Even though the ending was a little foreshadowed, it was a deserved one but everything else during those final episodes left me stunned. In a zombie apocalypse, there are no main characters with plot armour.
There were things I didn't like. Far too many characters had heroic deaths to the point where it sort of lost value. It was more gripping when people are trying to escape but the zombies take them. I think the hero complex was a real problem with Cheong-San. I liked him a lot but I was tired by his need to always elect himself as the sacrificial lamb for the group. I also thought how his death came about was foolish. They were all just standing there while he was slowly getting attacked. it didn't make sense especially given Nam-ra's superhuman feats that she just stood there.
Then there is Nayeon's character. I cannot accept that she purposefully infected someone just to be proven right. Her death was sad in that the group didn't realise she had only died due to her desire for redemption. I was a little annoyed at first before I realised it worked out better like this. It would have been too neat for her to reconnect with them.
My main issue perhaps, is the idea that this virus began because someone's dad got fed up with school bullying and decided humanity was irredeemable and evil. You're telling me that's how everyone got infected? I lost all sympathy with him when he was talking about how the system failed his son because of what he then transpired to do. There were also some payoffs I was waiting for, such as the girl who got videotaped getting her revenge during the apocalypse but the show didn't even hint towards that.
Those were my only real complaints, because otherwise it was an entirely excellent show.

Sayangnya kecintaan gw sama hal terkait zombie, membuat gw tahan sampai habis akan drama-drama tak penting yang dihadirkan dengan adegan2 dramatisir ala drama korea pada umumnya.
Gw gak mau spoiler, tapi pembunuhan beberapa karakter yang terkesan sia-sia menjadi satu kelamahan serial ini. Padahal pembangunan (eh pengembangan) karakter sedari pilot episode yang begitu kental terasa hampa gitu aja demi menampilkan sosok sosok diadegan terakhir sebagai “karakter terkuat”. *fyuh*
Tapi gw harap banget netflix gak cancel serial ini, biar bagaimanapun series ini layak buat ada sequelnya.

Gore à souhait? carrément. Adrénaline? peut-être. Un scénario complexe et riche? sûrement pas.
C'est tendance depuis toujours. Et parfois, il faut bien se le dire, un peu d'adrénaline ne fait pas de mal. Et les histoires de zombie sont une bonne façon de passer sa nuit sous sa couette, hululant à qui mieux mieux lorsqu'une invasion oblige nos protagonistes à faire le plein d'astuces pour ne pas être mangé.Oui, je ne nie pas. Je fais partie de ceux qui aime avoir peur. Avoir 2 de tension en se bouffant les ongles dans l'espoir de voir le héros ou l'héroïne s'en sortir avec classe, c'est un peu ce que je recherche. Et pourquoi pas avec une pincée d'humour. Une petite romance ou bromance ne serait pas de refus. Mais surtout une histoire qui tient la route.
J'ai pu en délirer avec délectation avec "Train to Busan" ou encore "Kingdom". L'émotion alliée à une tension soutenu servi avec un scénario intéressant m'ont réconcilié avec ce genre. Je suis de celle qui a grandit avec "Resident evil" (jeu et film). Et question horreur et gore, je suis de la génération "Amityville", toutes ces sagas redondantes mais tellement "drôles" comme les "Jason" ou les "Freddy Krueger" ou le très malsain "La colline a des yeux". Je suis donc loin d'être une novice.
Mais. Je ne cherche plus ce genre de frisson.
Avec les k-dramas, j'ai pu découvrir un univers différent où le scénario et les protagonistes nous obligent souvent à prier sincèrement pour leur sauvegarde. Estampillé "Netflix", j'avoue avoie eu des préjugés et une crainte....justifiée. Si je me suis détournée des séries US qui m'ont nourrie toutes ces années, ce n'était certes pas pour y replonger version coréenne...non merci.
Le scénario est donc tristement classique avec les éternels protagonistes destinés à être sacrifiés sur l'autel du voyeurisme et érigés en tant qu'héros dont la mort fut bête, voire inutile mais assez sanglante pour nous en donner des nausées . Des antagonistes stupidement méchants, sans passés complexes qui justifieraient au moins leur attitude craignos. Des romances fades qui font soupirer et ne parlons même pas des liens d'amitiés sans aucune ambition si ce n'est faire pleurer dans les chaumières. Et je ne vous ferais pas l'honneur de parler des personnages de passage (le streamer, la nana meurtrière prise de remord, le bébé....) d'une telle inutilité si ce n'est nous avoir mener sur de fausses spéculations (on en est encore à se demander ce que sont devenues les souris, où si la souris a mordu ou non un des personnages...). Bref, niveau scénario, ce fut prévisible à 100%, illogique et souvent absurde.
Et sinon, est-ce que cela a le mérite de faire monter la tension de nos neurones? Un peu, il faut l'avouer. Quelques scènes sont intenses et ont le mérite de nous faire retenir le souffle. Dommage que la tension retombe dès la première stupidité d'un personnage amenant inévitablement à sa mort ou au sacrifice d'un autre personnage.
Bien que je puisse comprendre que certains ont besoin de voir, je trouve les scènes gores malsain et à vomir (au sens propre), ces images n'avaient pas vraiment besoin d'être montré de manière aussi cru. C'est un affront à notre imagination....
La vulgarité des insultes dérange lorsqu'on est habitué au drama coréens ou chinois. Si cela devait souligner la réalité des dialogues, peut-être.... Mais je cherche en quoi cette réalité là peut nous permettre de nous immerger dans ce monde apocalyptique....
Idem pour les scènes de harcèlement (très à la mode...) ou d'agression sexuel, le malaise s'installe vite. Et ne sert en rien l'histoire. Ah, si! cela est sensé nous faire comprendre leur rage (aux victimes) et heu, le pourquoi de leur action inutile ( j'avoue tout de même qu'un affrontement entre la victime et l'agresseur, cela aurait eu plus de sens que de brûler l'école...).
Alors certains me diront que cela fait partie du jeu. Sûrement. Mais je n'ai pas eu ce sentiment désagréable et cette envie de vomir avec "Train to Busan" ou " Kingdom". J'ai pu voir avec énormément de plaisir ces deux titres avec mes ados.
Avec "All of are dead", même mes ados ont pudiquement baissé leur yeux.
Dans tous les cas, ce drama devrait plaire aux amateur de sensation forte (quoique....) mais si vous recherchez un drama épique avec un scénario riche, passez votre chemin.

Zombies are zombies but are they zombies?
So, I'm writing this review in my not-so-usual manner, it's a bit disorganized but I hope you enjoy reading this!There might be minor spoilers ahead, I hope you could proceed with caution!
To sum up this drama in a statement, it's all about "Here zombie, there zombie, everywhere zombie-zombie" and also, an even perfect explanation, let's have our own Hermoine-Ron story or basically, let's kiss with the basilisk around (dead!) (more like zombies here).
Anyways,
to put it simply:
This drama was pretty much alright for me. Though I still believe it wasn't the best zombie drama out there, this still was pretty nice and kept me hooked even though there were a lot of plotholes.
Then, there's something I would like to ask the screenwriter, "HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF ANTIBODIES TRANSFER?"
I hope they would have consulted some kind of a scientist of somebody of that sort before making up this ridiculous plot-hole of Gwi Nam biting Nam-Ra who doesn't fully turn while others do.
Well, I hated the female lead (On Jo) but anyways, I gave the story and cast and all a pretty okay rating because Soo Hyeok and Nam Ra exist!
It would keep you on your toes if you don't try to invest yourself in it and ask every now and then, was this decision right? Don't use your biology knowledge here if you ever want to enjoy this!
That's all I've got to say for this one! I hope you enjoy it if you decide on watching this and don't regret it if you don't cuz it's not a must-watch.
DO YOU LOVE ZOMBIE DRAMAS so much?
Go watch, THE TRAIN TO BUSAN, it's way better but anyways, this was pretty nice as well! (No hate)

To save the majority, just how heartless do you think you need to be?
Out of all the zombie movies/series I have watched, this has the most substance. It is way more than just the thrill. The messages conveyed in this movie can touch you in ways, you never expected. That's exactly the case for me. And I really love this series.I have mentioned on most of my reviews on titles related to zombie that I am not really a fan of zombie stuff because most of the time, you know what's the most possible ending, everyone will die. So I am always looking for something that will catch my interest and sustain my attention until the end. All Of Us Are Dead did just that. Having the Ground Zero set at a school is something I haven't seen before. The reason/motivation on how it started is also unique than most vague movies wherein it just started somehow without definite explanation. Every deaths on this movie made me feel various emotions from being melancholic to feeling 'he/she deserve it.' It was more than just becoming zombies. I love how the story focuses on the characters who wanted to survive, how they lost their love ones, how they lost each other, how they rely on each other, how the situation made them grow. The pain, the sadness, the happiness. It delivers a spectrum of emotions I never imagined on a zombie show. There were also parts that are actually light and fun that somehow lightens the mood of the whole series.
Great selection of casts really. The way they deliver their individual characters made the story much more believable and colorful. Most of the times shows that has a lot of characters ended up just blending in together however on this one, all the characters was able to make themselves shine in their own ways. It really felt like a group of students who are friends that has common and also individual identity that separates them from the others.
Honestly, although it left me with a lot of questions and imaginations, I love that the ending was open-ended. It kind of makes me hope that Season 2 is possible. If another season is given for this show, I'll definitely re-watch it. I have enjoyed every single scene of the show and would definitely love to re-live the moments with the casts again.

Pas parfait, mais c'était bon quand même
Happiness avait de nouveau réveillé mes pulsions de voir toujours plus de zombie à l'écran. Je ne peux simplement pas leur résister, j'aime ces créatures pour des tas de raisons et surtout lorsqu'ils prennent place dans une production sud-coréenne.Le début était incroyablement bon. On part d'une histoire tristement courante (le harcèlement scolaire) pour finir avec... Et bien, votre camarade de classe qui cherche à bouloter vos reins. Cependant, le plus intéressant reste ce fil rouge sur la nature humaine et les réflexions qui viennent avec. Pourquoi certains résistent au virus alors que d'autre pas ? Encore une fois, on peut se dire qu'au final, le plus grand ennemi de l'Homme, c'est l'Homme lui-même. Mais cela n'étonnera personne. Les acteurs étaient tous bons. Du plus gentil au plus mauvais. J'ai aimé chacun d'eux, comme j'ai détesté chacun d'eux. Il y avait un équilibre parfait sur ce point.
Mais... Malgré un démarrage excellent, Netflix va s'engouffrer dans ses travers récurrents avec une fin précipitée et ouverte - plus une romance sans intérêt, des morts et sacrifices inutiles. Sans trop détailler, ce sont les trois tâches de ce drama. La romance est juste sans intérêt, elle n'apporte rien si ce n'est une pointe dramatique supplémentaire, mais il n'y en avait pas besoin. Les morts et sacrifices, c'est toute une histoire. Bien sûr qu'il faut des actes héroïques, mais quand ils sont aussi inutiles c'est une perte de temps et un risque de plomber son scénario. Alors oui, GoT aura brisé les codes en faisant mourir ses personnages principaux (et bon sang, personne n'a oublié l'enfer qu'était ces épisodes à chaque saison), mais cela ne s'applique pas partout ni même à toutes les productions. En plus de cela, les morts s'accumule sur la fin ce qui rend l'ensemble que plus précipité comme si "ok les gars, il reste 10 minutes pour faire mourir ces personnages, on fait quoi ?" et badaboum...
Malgré les défauts mentionnés (et ceux non mentionnés), All of Us Are Dead est un excellent moment porté par un casting excellent, des zombies convaincants et esthétiquement sublimes avec de l'action à revendre. Non sans oublier cet humour tordant dont on avait absolument besoin.

Completely worth it
Positives:Firstly the actors were absolutely amazing at their role it never felt awkward between them and a sense of loyalty to each other was truly displayed.
The storyline had me on the edge every single episode the idea was amazingly executed from start to finish. The whole group was truly lovable apart from the few idiots who decided to betray them. I truly loved all the characters they r all so likeable in their own ways I cried, laughed, swore at them on the occasion 🤣 it was just purely an amazing drama. U didn’t really get much music and if u did it was likeable. Graphics were absolutely mad and honestly amazing work from hair and makeup as the zombies were literally so realistic. I ofc had my fav characters I loved the ml (Lee Cheoung San) soooo much he was such a sweetheart he truly cared for On Jo (fl) and all of his friends he went through a lot and he when the time came did not hesitate to save everyone which potentially led to his death ofc it’s not confirmed now as s2 Trailer shows his return. I did not like Nam Ra and Jeoung Suk at the start particularly together as I thought it just generally didn’t make too much sense but I loved them so much towards the end they really flourished as a couple in terms of trust and care.
Will def be rewatching this until season 2 comes out soooo excited !!
Negatives:
Nothing was wrong apart from the fact that so many friends of theirs died that truly made me cry other than that it was binge worthy on the edge of ur seat suspense and an absolute joy to watch.
Hope u enjoy ❤️

Simply Brilliant!
This is a phenomenal series. Sure, it is graphic, raw, and are not afraid to show lead actors/actresses dying. It is a brilliant zombie series that is creative, contemporary, and full of human emotions. The action is fast-paced and full of surprises. I know there are only so many directions you can take a zombie series but this one took new paths. How? By actually making us care both for the humans and zombies. It also gave them a human soul despite them being more dead than alive. I also love the twist between humans and zombies. I thought that was so creative and even scarier than a pure zombie apocalypse. There is a lot of superb acting in this series and some awesome physical prowess by many of the actors and actresses.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Slightly disappointing
As a zombie series fan I was really excited for All Of Us are Dead's premiere, but I ended up being slightly disappointed. I loved the very first episode, it was a very well paced first episode; even though the CG rubbed me off the wrong way but I'm not going to elaborate on that.I found the show slightly underwhelming because as the episodes went on, the plot wasn't really advancing in any way; every time the students tried to change the spots within the school, the outcome was predictable.
There's a lot of unnecessary subplots and also quite a lot of plot holes that I can't really wrap my head around, but I've figured they did that as a tool for a second season. I did enjoy the friends' dynamic. Though I wished they actually showed more of that. Like the way they were acting before the virus broke out or some characteristics that would make them more three dimensional and not so flat.
Overall, it wasn't a bad show but I had higher expectations from it.

i couldn’t stop crying in the last ep, so it’s obv a 10
it literally became one of my favorite dramas it is so good! normally i am not a big fan of hyped dramas because i have the fear that is actually bad BUT I LOVED IT! the plot it’s so good and never gets tiring and the characters are so amazing. To be honest, I cried a lot, I COUDN’T STOP CRYING IN THE LAST EP. I hated that the writers killed cheongsan, but I still have some hope for him to come back in s2. I really loved the characters specially namra, cheongsan, mijin and suhyeok AND OBVIOUSLY MY FAVORITE COUPLE WAS ONJO AND CHEONGSAN, I CRIED SO MUCH FOR THEM 😭😭😭 but yeah i loved all of us are dead sm and it’s so worth watching it💗Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Run
Run is the word you will hear from the mini seriesAs usual started calm then all breaks loose, ground zero is hyosan high school and a good thing about this mini series is the director stick within ground zero, story is incomplete and for sure, since it was well received there should be a prequel and a sequel.
Actors and Actress gave their natural environment performance, looks like we will be seeing more of the students in the future, kind of a way introducing the young actress and actors in a mini series, this was done in GTO where the young talent started and mentored by senior actors/actress. hoping to see more of Park Ji Hoo, Jo Yi Hyun and Park Solomon in the future korean series.
Music was just ok, but nothing outstanding bgm, hopefully music will be payed attention in the sequel and prequel
Would i rewatch, yes,
Zombie marathon series during the holiday seasons
Overall it is just good, this cannot top kingdom story wise, potential wise, sequel can take where the classroom leader can jump from the a 8 story building, and prequel can take where the virus was found and why?
If you like mystery and zombie series, add this to your list, the actresses are good and park solomon has a potential to take a lead action role in the future.

The most emotional zombie drama I've ever watched
This one’s a toughie! On one hand, I absolutely fell head over heels for all of the characters in this drama and absolutely loved the fresh new take on the zombie genre. On the other, there were simply too many instances where logic was completely thrown out the window and the characters were frustrating as hell to watch. My main gripes probably were due to the amount of self-sacrifice and very cliche survival tropes which sometimes repeated themselves in the drama. The drama also created a seemingly impossible survival situation for our main characters. The zombies were simply too fast and there were too many of them for their survival to make sense half the time. I mean, hell, the characters are almost always facing them head on and we’re just supposed to believe that most of them can get out of it alive time and time again? I feel like humanity would die in a heartbeat if such a situation occured in real life, but I suppose the seemingly impossible stakes were there mostly to build tension so I’ll forgive it. Something that I absolutely loved about this drama in particular was the amount of side stories that went on all around even outside of the school. There was only one of them that I didn’t care for, but the rest were extremely entertaining and, although not too impactful, rounded out the story to show how everyone was impacted by the virus. I have a ton of other small complaints but I didn’t want to list them since they weren’t too bothersome and would make me look like a bit of a jerk haha. I would definitely recommend this drama to my zombie lovers, but I would warn them not to take the drama too seriously and be prepared with some tissues, because the best part of the kdrama is definitely the emotions it made me feel, especially at the end!Esta resenha foi útil para você?
