A High School Zombie Nightmare
“All of Us Are Dead” takes the zombie genre to a familiar yet fresh setting: a suburban high school. Netflix’s 12-part Korean drama delivers a brutal and emotionally charged experience, blending gore, carnage, and unexpected depth.
Plot and Characters:
The story unfolds as a zombie outbreak engulfs the school, leaving a group of teenage survivors trapped within its walls. Best friends On-jo and Cheong-san, along with classmates like class president Nam-ra and mean girl Na-yeon, fight for their lives. The charismatic young cast brings authenticity to their roles, with standout performances from Yoon Chan-young and Cho Yi-Hyun.
In parallel, star archer Ha-ri and nicotine addict Mi-jin seek refuge in a bathroom, while unrepentant bully Gwi-nam schemes for dominance. The sprawling cast adds layers of complexity, but episodes occasionally feel dense due to additional adult factions outside the campus.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
- Inventive Setting: The high school serves as Ground Zero for the outbreak, allowing the drama to explore inventive ways to create tension within its confined spaces. Props, sets, and creative confrontations keep viewers engaged.
- Emotional Heft: Surprisingly, “All of Us Are Dead” isn’t just about zombies. It delves into emotional struggles, trust, and survival. Characters face their own demons while battling the undead, adding depth to the narrative.
- Outside Perspectives: Unfortunately, the drama falters when it shifts focus to the world beyond the school. Military responses and familiar zombie tropes lack novelty. To sustain interest, future seasons should explore the origins of the outbreak.
Final Thoughts:
“All of Us Are Dead” successfully marries horror with emotional resonance. While the school plotlines shine, the drama’s true potential lies in unraveling the mystery behind the apocalypse. If you’re a fan of zombie stories, this Korean series offers a fresh take on the genre. Just be prepared for gore, heartache, and unexpected twists.
