All of Us Are Dead is a South Korean zombie series that quickly captivated audiences with its heart-pounding tension and emotional depth. Based on the webtoon Now at Our School, this series takes the familiar zombie apocalypse genre and gives it a unique twist by placing the outbreak in a high school, where a group of students is trapped and must fight for survival.

The show stands out with its strong character development, particularly how it delves into the complexities of the young protagonists. It explores the relationships among the students, ranging from friendships and rivalries to deep-seated insecurities, while also confronting the harsh reality of a deadly world.

The premise is simple yet effective: an outbreak of a virus turns students and faculty into bloodthirsty zombies, but the emotional weight comes from the way it portrays the teenagers’ struggle for survival. They must navigate both the terror of their mutated classmates and the human emotions of fear, loyalty, and betrayal. The claustrophobic school setting amplifies the tension, trapping the characters in an environment that should feel safe but becomes a death trap.

The series doesn’t shy away from brutal and graphic scenes, making the stakes feel very real. But it also manages to balance the violence with heartfelt moments, showing how the characters grow under the weight of unimaginable circumstances.

Visually, All of Us Are Dead offers excellent cinematography, with well-executed action sequences and an intense atmosphere. The zombies are terrifying, and the special effects contribute to making the creatures feel more menacing. The series also excels in the use of suspense and cliffhangers, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
