Suntem Morți cu Toții (2022)

A lot of questionable decisions and things that don't make sense

The things I hated :

The characters are probably the worst part of the drama. A lot of of them were either boring, dumb, unnecessary, annoying or whatever. There were just too many and some of them only existed to make the story longer such as the assembly woman, the blogger, the pregnant teen etc. A lot of the story arcs were also poorly done. I thought Eunji was gonna have some sort of hero arc or at least fight off Gwi Nam to redeem herself since they're both half zombies but NOPE. They also made Nayeon seem remorseful for what she did for 5 minutes and then proceed to kill her like WHY???

One of my complaints is with the FL. On Ju is an incredibly boring, dull and uninteresting character. She's also extremely stupid at times. When the zombies were coming at her in the canteen, what does she do you ask? SHE FREAKING SAT THERE AND WAITED FOR CHEONG SAN TO SAVE HER. When she found out her best friend and crush died, what does she say to her Cheong San aka her childhood friend? THAT EVERYONE SHE LIKES DIED. She also almost cause Cheong San to die in the same scene. If it weren't for him saving her, she would have died. BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR GODS SAKE. No to mention her constantly beating and kicking Cheong San in the first couple of episodes. I really don't know what Cheong San see in her.

The romance between Su Hyeok and Nam Ra was super unnecessary and boring if you ask me. Nam Ra also makes some stupid decisions even though she's suppose to be the smart one. She saw Nayeon wanting to murder Gyeong Su and what does she do? SHE FREAKING WAITS UNTIL NAYEON DID IT TO ONLY EXPOSE HER. Why couldn't you have done it sooner and prevent 3 death??? Also, when she heard there was zombies coming why did she have to count how many there were ??? How is that in any way shape or form helpful?? JUST RUN ALREADY.

Cheong San's mom who was literally dumb as hell, not to mention his dad who just magically disappeared??? The police force my goodness, y'all let a bunch of high schoolers beat you ass at survival. The science teacher, who told the police to retrieve the his computer from the school science lab to find a cure but only...THERE WAS NO CURE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Eunji who "set the school on fire" when she just sat a bunch of papers IN ONE ROOM ON FIRE.

On Jo's dad also had an unnecessary sacrifice, he could have escaped safely with the group but no, they had to kill him. They also didn't bother to explain how hybrids seem to work, how and why 3 of them are different which left me confuse. After almost 3 days without food except for a piece of chocolate bar, you'd think they'd be tired and exhausted but NOPE they still seem perfectly intact.

The female characters in the classroom group were all so useless. When they encountered zombies, the male characters literally ripped out doors and windows from the classroom to attack and defend. And what do the female characters do? THEY LITERALLY STOOD THERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They didn't build up I-Sak and On Ju's friendship except for a couple of flashbacks so I felt nothing when she died.

The times taken for each character to turn into zombies also didn't make sense. It took the science teacher's son a couple of weeks (?) to turn into zombies. Then when the school got infected, it was 5 seconds. When I-Sak was infected, it was 20 minutes. And when Gyeong Su is infected, it took him like what? A couple hours??

The things I liked :

The bromance between Su Hyeok and Cheong San were amazing. The scene where they were hanging off each other on the window was so cute, really wished there was more moments like that. The cinematography and camerawork was great, the canteen scene when students started getting infected was the most notable one. How they escaped from one room after another was quite interesting as well even though it got a little repetitive, I still liked it for the most part.

MINJI, her existence just makes me happy.

The acting was quite impressive, even though they were given quite shitty characters, they actors and actresses still did a pretty good job portraying them. My favourite portrayal would be Lee Yoo Mi who played Nayeon and Yoo In Soo who played Gwi Nam.

Would I rewatch it? Most definitely as I love to rewatch shows after a while. It was overall okay, I did enjoy it at some part. Not as good as Kingdom or Train to Busan but still not the worst thing in the world.

BELIEVE ME... YOU DON'T WANT TO WATCH THIS !!!

Seriously.... Trust me.... Do not waste your time on this one...

I'd give this a wholesome ZERO if I could...

Don't go by all those ratings out there... Like why did they even make this show ?? We're they trying to fry our brain cells ?

I should have read the other review before deciding on watching this series...

It said "You need to be a zombie to enjoy this.
Whew! Watching this is like doing an unwanted chore!" It's so True !!!

If you still want to watch this... Take a minute and read the review I've mentioned earlier by @Pinoy Ares

That is all I've got to say.... The decision is yours, whether or not you want to watch this.

Netflix Sensationalism With Poor Substance

To quote a great poet "I expected nothing and I'm still let down".

I checked All of Us Are Dead out of curiosity: labelled as a Netflix show but with a kdrama more usual format (12 episodes of roughly 1h). I think this is the first time I wished this drama had been shorter like the other Netflix productions.

The Story

It drags on. The main plot of the students can be summarized in one sentence : a dozen students try to survive a zombie epidemic, moving from safe spots to safe spots while having encounters with zombies and see their group thin out. That's....... basically all there is to that main storyline. As the epidemic spreads, we follow for a while other storylines, notably two : that of Captain Song Jae Ik (Lee Kyu Hyung) and firefighter Nam So Ju (one of the female leads' father). While the first brought a well-needed comic relief and some adorable moments of Lee Kyu Hyung adopting kids left and right (and being his usual great self), the other managed to catch my attention more, balanced action scenes with calmer ones better than the school storyline. Maybe I was more receptive to these two particular part of the story because I like the actors involved or it moved quicker than the students' and gave more information to the stakes of the storyline. But, in my opinion, the part outside of the school were just..... better. Which is quite sad considering the main point of focus of the drama is youth in the midst of a zombie epidemic and the emotional impact such epidemic has on them.

In addition, I was really uncomfortable by the scene of sexual assault at the start of the drama which........ Served no purpose and was never really resolved unless punishing and blaming the victim even further was the point.

And generally speaking I'm just very tired of bullying plotlines. This is an important topic that should be addressed but lately it seems it's in every drama I watch and there is only so much I can take.

The drama could have easily been just 10 episodes or even less, but instead we got long boring scenes of the students talking and talking and talking and being suspicious and fighting (plus some plotholes) not to mention two "love" storylines that were quite honestly kinda cute but unnecessary imo.


The Characters

Going in pairs with my boredom to the students storyline, I did not really get attach to any of the students. I liked them, the actors did a good job portraying them but they were..... Just there. I did not particularly care what would happen to them and even if some scenes were sad I barely felt anything. It just did not click for me. HOWEVER, once again, Lee Kyu Hyung portraying a police captain trying to grapple with the last shred of hope he can find and Jeon Bae Soo in a desperate father role were two highlights and I was disappointed when their arcs were done (especially Lee Kyu Hyung's which was cut way to short for my taste).

Visuals

The zombies make-up and their choreography was really well done (one of the few positives in this drama for me). They truly looked the part and were chilling at times.

As for the rest... I know this is a horror drama and that gory scenes are likely to happen. But this drama really had me think that some gore scenes were simply there just because Netflix can have them - in a "in-your-face" kind of way. Just like with most of their dramas, it seems to me they massively take the route of violent, gritty dramas and just go and escalate what they show each time. I'm not sure why. Is it provocation? Is it cheap shock-value? Is it just to "buzz" on social medias and thus receive extra publicity? I'm not sure, but this Netflix Sensationalism is not IT. And it's frustrating because Netflix knows just how to make shows with violence and still have it be a natural part of the story (Kingdom comes to mind particularly) and not...... the whole personnality of the drama.

The cinematography was subpar at best, not that I was expecting anything in that regard.


In conclusion

If you like zombies and have seen several dramas and movies on the subject, you will probably get bored though you might still want to check it out. If this is one of your first dramas, please check out other dramas. If it's zombies you're interested about, Kingdom is right there waiting for you. If it's simply dramas in general, Netflix and many other platforms like Viki, Viu and others have many titles to offer with better stories, better development, better crafting all around.

Não há nada de novo debaixo do sol e por isso o homem segue sendo o zumbi do próprio homem.

Meu coração ia a mil em cada episódio, foi eletrizante e emocionante!
Como eu sabia que era um drama apocalíptico, tentei não me apegar aos personagens, mas o Cheongsan conquistou o meu coração assim como a presidente da classe.
Namra simplesmente A MAIOR!

Fiquei desapontada com umas coisas, queria que a Eunji tivesse lutado com o Gwinam, ou até matado ele com uma faca no meio testa. E a morte do Cheongsan, mataram o protagonista que carregou o dorama nas costas, eles poderiam ter dado uma morte decente pra ele, não gostei de como fizeram. Ou então que ele tivesse conseguido fugir da explosão e se tornado um humbie como a Namra, seria top se tivesse aparecido na fogueira no final!

Zombie Zombie.

I am usually not a fan of Zombie movie but I got curious how they will manage to follow Train to Busan and Peninsula. I thought overall it was a nice drama. The story lack some point or could have been better developped. As for the bully girl, she is here to show that bullied can become bully. I would have loved to see her in a massive fight with Gyu Nam but I can understand the writer point of view. In this drama, the adult are completely useless and it shows that the teenager do not need help. I was sure that not all of the kids will make it as it is korean and no... Not everyone will survive a zombie apocalypse. I am really confused as why Nam Ra is still alive and didn't decided to sacrifice herself in order to protect the other but I guess we might have an answer in the 2nd season. The adult are quite famois actor for people who do know kdrama. As for the kids it depends but I was so happy to see Park Solomon and Yoon Chan Young on a lead role for netflix and I hope it.will bring them more opportunities. Overall, as we were going forward the drama... I had that weird feeling and it somehow got confirm at the end of ep 12. "You abandoned us" " I won't ever trust an adult". It was a shout out to all the adult that gave up on the teenagers stuck in the sewol ferry that the adult didn't try to save. After watching Birthday with Yoon Chan Young a few years back... I never thought they will reuse similar scene as an interrogation of the survivor like it was their fault. I feel like I wouldhave to watch it again to catch all the secondary point but I will be really excited to see the season 2

A Unique Show With A Zombie Origin

I loved that this show has the zombie origin and has lots of twists that are new to zombie shows. It has a lot of originality and not your typical zombie show. Plus it adds real human emotions which is really possible during a zombie outbreak.

I also like that the casts acted really well, with the guidance from their director. And watching the behind the scenes, they had fun shooting even if it takes a lot of time and preparation to shoot a single scene. I like that the storytelling was good, and the camera shots are meticulously done. It's not dizzying or confusing to watch even with the chaos brought about by running or fighting from zombies

All of Us are Dead builds on and extrapolates the zombie playing field of Train of Busan, and more

If you have enjoyed Train to Busan, you will be drawn in gradually to this series. All of Us are Dead builds on and extrapolates the zombie playing field of Train of Busan, from a 2h movie to a 12h drama series, and from within a train to a sprawling high school campus.

As i am still pretty new to kdramas and not familiar with the k actors/actresses, It was confusing for me with the introduction of many different students all dressed in the same school uniforms in the first episode, albeit the occasional different coloured sweaters for some students. After 4 episodes, i started to wonder how the series can continue meaningfully for another 8 episodes, other than students trying to escape alive from the zombie-flooded school.

The series surprisingly engages as it starts to develop the key characters, connecting viewers to them, and exploring humanity, love, sacrifices and teamwork between peers, teacher-students, dad-family, amidst the relentless attacks by the endless swarms of zombies. See comment for link to life lessons and spoilers. It drags at midpoint, as with most dramas. The introduction of half zombies thereafter beefed up the plot for a 12h series.

Overall, it is an enjoyable and enriching zombie series to watch. While i wont be rewatching this series, I do look forward to Season 2 of this series.

Pretty good but a bit drawn out.

** All of Us Are Dead pulls no punches and unleashes a savage and seemingly never-ending assault of fast-running zombies on an unfortunate squad of students who've managed to survive the first wave of a zombiecalypse.
** With 12 episodes running 1 hr. long each, it gets a bit exhausting at times due to continuous gore and violence. It could easily have been done in 8 episodes.
** Some of the characters were a little annoying and the romantic interests felt just a bit silly and somewhat ill fitting.

*** Aside from that it was otherwise reasonably entertaining.

It may not offer up anything exactly new in the realm of zombie carnage other than its somewhat cruel and unrelenting nature, but sometimes that's enough to pull off some damn effective survival horror.

different but annoyingly different

just like sweet home and squid game, this was unlike the "usual" kdramas, well the zombie apocalypse part, the highschool romance angst was actually exactly like any other school kdramas ;)

for a zombie apocalypse, it's not usually from a teens' pov. and usually it doesn't revolve around bullying.. but that was it's charm..
was it believable? lol of course not.. those kids never ate anything for 3 days straight, and they barely slept, yet they had enough strength to run, fight and hold back zombies who are known for their speed and power (like those chombies showcased, there's no way those kids could've survived that long)


Tbh prez should use her strength more, I mean if it was a guy chombie he'd have carried them all out and saved the day by now.. prez only threw bully off the roof once..

that bullied girl eating bullied boy.. that's not revenge, he couldn't protect himself she shouldn't have expected him to save her.. she needed to take revenge on her bully.. she should've stayed in the school then found her bully bullying the kids so she'd save them and have her revenge
her revenge against "the whole school" made no sense cuz as those kids showed most of them didn't know either of the bullies or the bullied..

also with cheong san's mom, he should've shown more disbelief, and also she shouldn't have gone there, also where was his dad?
it's like the mom, the fls dad, the bully, the bullied girl, they were all just steps to get the story somewhere.. but they just mostly needed less eps and less reason to drag it out, like that whole flashbacks sequences..

Cheong San didn't deserve this.. the bully was attacking him and he defended himself.. he did not deserve an eye for an eye


The 2 cops are just adopting any kid they find🤣🤡 I was waiting for them to run away with 1 kid now they have 2🤣🤡🤡
