“All Of Us Are Dead” ending- review

“All Of Us Are Dead” was fun, too long, but fun. In many areas, I think the run time could be justified, however, my personal taste for such topics would be to slightly make it shorter. I think 8 episodes would’ve been enough, 10 if you wanted to push it.

I think this is the longest Netflix kdrama I’ve seen in a while because they usually don’t go above 10 episodes for kdramas [unless its a licensing deal with a Korean broadcasting station].

“All Of Us Are Dead” screenwriter did a good job with the material in hand. It was cruel and gruesome but also very realistic. The reason I like Korean zombie movies and dramas is that, their approach to the subject. We had “Happiness” recently, and now this, both tackle the subject from a different angle and give it their own spin, it doesn’t feel generic which is quite difficult to pull off for a zombie flick.

“All Of Us Are Dead” screenwriter is the same one who wrote “L.U.CA” which I also liked. It carries similar tones. Some reviewers are saying the messages the drama was trying to convey were bad or all over the place but I disagree with that wholeheartedly. I think the screenwriter approached this from a humane perspective and showed a wide range of reactions from all types of people, I also don’t think he was aiming to particularly lecture anyone either. While the ending wasn’t ‘sad’ per se, it wasn’t happy either. This makes it not only more memorable but also a lot more interesting and unexpected. I honestly expected to see more students die.

Also, I’ve always had this idea in my head, the idea that they could just gather the zombies somewhere and blow it up and they did that. It was a shocking moment, but when it happened, I was sadder than I expected I would be because you know these were people and it was still sad watching them blow up.

Its like choosing between killing 10 people and 1000 people, what do you choose? You will be labeled a murderer either way but desperate times call for desperate measures. Everyone will have a different answer but choosing not to take action is equally if not more harmful than making the decision that commander made.

Overall, it was a fun binge.
