After finishing “All of Us Are Dead” in one breath, people have to admire Netflix’s enthusiasm for zombie dramas. Of course, it can also be regarded as mastering the traffic password.
However, once such a traffic password is abused, it will inevitably be backfired. Zombie-themed works such as “얼론” and “부산행2-반도” are not as good as expected in word of mouth.
Routines and patterns are spreading in Korean zombie films.
Zombie-themed works undoubtedly focus on three aspects: first, violence and bloodshed, second, the exposure of human nature, and third, various satires.
Of course, zombie works also belong to the disaster genre, so in the past disaster works in Korea, these aspects are also displayed.
For all kinds of satirical criticism and exposure, they generally focus on social events, religious issues, chaebol issues, political issues, etc., such as “Deranged” and “The Flu”.

For “All of Us Are Dead”, it is still the presentation and exposure of these issues. However, it focuses on campus events and must be based on campus events, so the starting point of the film is campus violence.
“All of Us Are Dead” extended from school violence to family problems, from a father’s rescue of his son to the accidental spread of the virus, which led to the loss of control of the entire city, which was staged again in a violent way.
Of course, with the development of the plot, campus violence is being forgotten and projected onto campus romance, friendship, and the government’s disaster relief, and no one cares about campus violence.
Both the victimized and the victimized have paid a heavy price.
Of course, it’s ironic that one of the perpetrators actually shuttled freely among the zombies like a bug and continued to abuse.
And one of the girls who was raped also hung up, thinking that the two would have a big shopping battle at the end.
But the plot is disappointing, such a plot does not appear.
As the first highlight of zombie works, bloody violence is also continuously presented to the audience in this film.
Dividing the body, dissecting the belly, biting, it is bloody and violent enough.
However, “All of Us Are Dead” apparently slowed down in the mid-term. I have to say that the group performance is really hard, and the performance is wonderful enough.
For the disclosure of human nature, “All of Us Are Dead” is of course a standardized presentation.
Whether it is on campus leaders, among students, or on military and political figures, “All of Us Are Dead” has carried out a comprehensive exposure among various groups.
However, in terms of strength, it is still the most powerful military and political aspect, and the suicide of the military commander in the end has a profound meaning.
The episodes also presented religious satire, political criticism, and chaebol complaints one by one, but they were quite satisfactory.
To sum up, “All of Us Are Dead” did not break away from the routine of previous Korean disaster films, but the 12-episode design still caused three major flaws.
First, “All of Us Are Dead” forces all members to lower their IQs, especially for the leading actors
Although the protagonist is a high school student, there will be a lack of experience in problem solving.
However, sometimes they are not a problem of lack, but a problem of deliberately lowering their IQ. It is obvious that they are very smart, but it is quite puzzling to do things.
For example, in order to get the fire hose outside the classroom, the male protagonist has been using his hands at first, and it took a long time before he thought of using tools, and the zombies kept shuttling outside the door.
Of course people panic in an emergency, but after a long struggle, they should have become sensible. But this move really reduces IQ.
There are many more details like this.
On the other hand, lowering IQ is the setting of the characters.
Throughout the days, the only place to eat food was the chocolate at the end. Other than that, they didn’t drink water or eat anything else.
But the protagonists are all vigorous and energetic, which makes people admire the physical strength and endurance of these students.
In addition, after it rained on the rooftop, the students lay on the ground and said that they were cool. But what came out of their mouths was white air, which at least proved that the weather was not cool at all.
Not only did the characters in “All of Us Are Dead” have their IQs lowered, but even the writers and directors had their IQs lowered.
Second, the plot of “All of Us Are Dead” is protracted
For this kind of work, 12 episodes is indeed a bit long, and the six episodes of “Kingdom” are more suitable.
Of course, this also depends on the ability of the director, and for “All of Us Are Dead”, the beginning of its plot is fast. But once it reaches the stalemate stage in the middle, the plot becomes unbearable.
Escape from one place to another, similar plots, long chatter, showing the double standards of girls, the realm of the Virgin.
“All of Us Are Dead” is drowsy to watch, and the young students are all little adults.
Third, the drama is too provocative
For “All of Us Are Dead”, it can also be called a school idol drama in a zombie coat.
In the process of escaping, in addition to the ambiguity between the protagonists, there are other supporting characters who are all in love scenes.
There is no school without love, but too much love can make people tired.
And this kind of love eventually brought out sensations again and again. In addition to love, there is also a sense of affection.
The mother of the hero, the father of the heroine, and of course the parents of the other supporting characters have morphed, as well as disputes between students.
This is constantly sensationalizing, and the constant appearance of such a plot is bound to make people feel disgusted.
In addition to these three major flaws, “All of Us Are Dead” naturally has others.
The feeling after watching “All of Us Are Dead” is: the plot is tense and exciting at the beginning, long and boring in the middle, and dull at the end.
The frequency of Korean zombie works is not a good thing, because if there is no innovation and breakthrough, if it is repeated continuously, then the goodwill will be lost, and the traffic password will sometimes fail.
For “All of Us Are Dead”, it’s okay to be early adopters, but it’s not enough to get more stuff.
