This isn’t a melodramatic thriller, so there’s no need to compare it to anything outside the comedy-horror genre.From the very beginning, the visuals and music clearly set a comedic tone, so anyone with common sense would expect a lighthearted approach. Given the overall feel of the drama, I didn’t expect the zombies to be this terrifying!I really like how the female lead strikes a balance—she’s neither overly bold to force a "strong woman" image nor too timid to appear fragile. The male lead is hilarious, and let’s be real, pretty girls often prefer funny guys. Plus, he steps up and shows a bit of leadership when the zombie chaos begins.The first episode focused too much on the military side, which wasn’t my favorite part. I’m watching this for the female leads,
but with only two of them in separate storylines, it felt a bit lacking. I hope the next six episodes give equal focus to the main leads and minimize the army subplot—I honestly don’t care about old men panicking over martial law.

Just two episodes, and I’m already in love with this drama! Jisoo’s acting is outstanding—she worked so hard, and it truly shows. I’m so proud of her! The lead actor is amazing too,and their chemistry is already winning me over. 😭 I’m so excited for the next episode! The comedy is spot on, making it the perfect zom-com. This is already my pick for the drama of the year!
