All Of Us Are Dead - Zombie Survival At Its Best
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- All Of Us Are Dead follows in the happy tradition of excellent South Korean shows that are miles ahead of anything Hollywood is producing right now. So strap in and join me as I review this excellent zombie horror show.
Another South Korean production that deserves more recognition is 'Kingdom' - absolutely fantastic zombie series but it tackles the whole zombie genre from quite a different angle. I also enjoyed the feudal Korean setting instead of your typical modern-day zombie apocalypse
Great series. History, drama, political intrigue, swordplay, zombies! What's not to like?
Kingdom is my favorite zombie anything tbh. I liked that the story actually progressed and by the end of season 2 at least some conclusions had been reached. It meant that plot points didn't stagnate or get boring. Same with Train to Busan (the first one. There is no sequel, don't know what you're talking about).
sweet home is another one that is really good, recommend if not seen it already
Black is also great even if it isn't exactly on the same theme
Oh yes, I've seen Kingdom, it's great and the spin-off movie was absolutely chilling.
The athleticism of the zombie actors was amazing. They threw themselves, literally, into their work.
I imagine there are some serious bruises on some of the actors from this show
@@bittersithis most likely a lot of cgi too
@@DustyyBoi your dead ass wrong there was barely and Zombie cg
Yeah, impossible to achieve the same on the USA 🤣
I love this show, much better than walking dead, but they do stretch the being couped up together too long. It' wasnt necessary to go into having them make shitting accommodation. People also seem to fall over far too much; every time they change direction, or trip over a particle of dust, which gets a bit annoying, but other than that its excellent watching. Big hopes for Korea in the film and TV biz.
The fight scenes were so fucking good. The fluidity of the moves were so well done
Really ? I didn't think it was anything special.
Absolutely, it felt a lot less choreographed than the fights coming out Hollywood. It did a really good job at making it seem like kids trying desperately to survive
@@leecroft7311 I think that's cux that's sorts what they were going for. Not overly-choreographed, exaggerated fights between people who are supposed to be expert combatants, but just kids brawling to stay alive
@@warwicknaude5563 Whatever they were going for it was underwhelming at best
@@leecroft7311 this show is garbage
fucking super power zombies and trash fights
The kids in this look like they do their own stunts. Korea is killing it lately.
just like early 2000´s american cinema. 30 YO actors playing as teenagers on TVshows and movies. Lol
Korea seems to be great at genuine storytelling.

Korea is killing everyone lately... especially themselves on screen. Due to their strategic location perhaps its not surprising they have apocalyptic storytelling.
I love the bully character that just won’t die and keeps trying to kill the main protagonist. Felt like a recurring villain on a video game, like Mr. X or something.
Mr. X?
@@capedcrusader5282 Resident Evil 2.
@@capedcrusader5282 A huge tyrant that randomly shows up trying to kill you in the resident Evil games. He's nearly impossible to kill.
Gotcha
It seemed to me that character lacked dynamism. A point came where he always repeated what he did, what he said and even how he died. Personally I was tired of him returning again and again to do and say exactly the same.
Another great Korean zombie series to check out is, "Kindgom", which can be described as Korean Medieval Zombies. Really well done.
They are both pretty good shows but like pretty much all Korean TV shows I've seen they seem to escalate both or either the plot or melodrama so nothing ever has a satisfying end. It just keeps ramping up to the point of ridiculousness as the writers keep upping the stakes or revealing big twists in the last episodes.
Looked up Kingdom because of this remark, wasn't disappointed!
My wife and I like this one MUCH more than All Of Us Are Dead!
I hope the Drinker will review this one too!
what the hell is "Kindgom"
I like to think of Kingdom as a Game of Thrones that manages to deliver on its "medieval undead apocalypse while scheming, political games and infighting make things worse" premise in a timely manner and to then actually resolve it in a satisfying way. Or in other words, it gives me basically everything I wanted out of GoT sans dragons and does in way less seasons.
@@hishamjalal9078 It's a zombie virus set in the medival times of (china?) I believe and it takes the story of a crown prince who got betrayed and had his role been stolen and his guard who is his friend and alot of others. It has an intresting concept on how the zombies work and the people are often smart with the usual dumb people. Basically a overthrown crown prince trying to take back his role, save as much people as possible from the virus and figure out what caused it.
glad you like it, drinker. I would recommend another korean drama on Netflix called "strangers from hell," I think you will love it if you check it out. Generally speaking, Korean-based productions on Netflix range from good to freaking amazing. There is also d.p. which I think you'll like a lot.
Glad to see someone knowing D.P.
I enjoyed Sweet Home too. Korea has been solid for a few decades now. Oldboy is still an absolute classic.
hellbound is pretty good too
I've watched this and I can say it's pretty good , acting is phenomenal
True, with Train to Busan, SQUID GAME, hell bound and now all of us are DEAD. I say, Korean movies 're giving Hollywood a run for entertainment.
On a sidenote I love that they know what zombies are, because its our universe where movies like Train to Busan exist. It was nice to see characters actually know what zombies are compared to all the other shows and movies where the mere existence of a zombie is a completely new concept to every character. XD
one of the characters actually reference Train to Busan. It was great!
ikr, it fits so well since they're teenagers.
By now EVERYONE in real life knows about zombies and basic rules like 'shoot 'em in the head'...it just makes sense! :D
That is great, but it should've come with a corresponding level of competence when fighting them off. Maybe not the teenagers, although even there - you've watched Train to Busan, wrap your arms and legs like they do in that movie, or do something else to fashion body armor, I mean come on - but certainly the military should've contained the threat within a day at most. It's completely ridiculous after a while.
@@Arphemius as soon as Train to Busan was refranced my wife and I were immediately frustrated. I didn't expect them to be navy seals or anything but a solo zombie in a group of 8-9 teenagers, who are familiar with zombies in general, shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise I found it brilliant
I couldn't get beyond the first few episodes. The people didn't act like real people and the drama was extreme corny, which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't try to take itself seriously. I dropped it at the part where the one backstabber girl left the classroom and the teacher chases after her. It was just a very poorly written show.
I can enjoy corny Korean shows which there are plenty but this one tries to bill itself as serious and well put together when it is simply not.
That was probably one of the most pleasant “go away now’s” he’s ever given. A fine day to you too, sir Drinker.
Personally, I prefer Highschool of the Dead, but this wasn't bad. I guess it's the fact that I've already seen this several times, though this was well executed. But Highschool of the Dead is more fun - and it's too bad the Author was murdered.
@@isolinear9836 I knew the author passed away, but I didn't know he was murdered.
I enjoyed the anime and wanted some closure. Hence, I may have to pick up the manga someday.
@@kirk1701 It was one of those - he was killed by the Japanese authorities in the International Media Industry (no, not Yakuza), and everyone has too much to lose. So we'll call it 'natural causes. Sad, but that's reality - similar to how famous entertainers in the US are murdered when they step out of line, Marylin Monroe, Whitney Houston (and her daughter), Tony Scott, etc.. Sato might be known for Highschool of the Dead, but what Westerners outside Japan are unaware of is that he wrote political-military novels. For the record, he had a relatively favorable relationship with the US Military. His politics got him ostracized out of the overall entertainment Industry a decade ago, when he dropped Highschool of the Dead,
@@isolinear9836 Interesting!
I really appreciated that the Military wasnt as useless as usually in Zombie Movies and in Fact really competent
Its the one thing that the zombie genre tries to ignore. It doesn't take a genius to realize that if your first ploy doesn't work, you change it up. It is like SciFi movies where the enemy creatures always take a full magazine of ammo to kill. Well, if your firearms aren't up to the task you simply switch up to more powerful ordinance. If 5.56 Nato can't do the job with one shot, you switch to 7.62. Still not enough? You switch to 50 cal and there won't be enough left of the zombie to even be a threat. Or you switch to molotov cocktails. Burn them down to nothing. Fragmentation grenades to shread them to pieces. Etc.
Once the military figures out how to best put a foreign enemy down, they simply switch tactics to take advantage of the weakness.
But with all of that said, it is unfortunate for this school that the baseball and softball teams weren't practicing. Between the balls, the bats, and the protective equipment, they probably would have made short work of the zombies before the numbers became overwhelming. Baseball bats are definitely underrated in the genre and you clean house. And speaking of houses, I wonder if the school had a carpentry class. Enough power tools there to reap havoc.
And I also liked how we saw them really struggle with the morality of the situation too. The guy who was the main commander did such a great job trying to be cold about the situation while you could tell that it was eating him alive that he had to kill everyone.
The actor did such a great job.
I loved the commander and the internal struggle he went through when he ordered the strike on the city. He was one of my favorite characters.
Well South Korean shows can't shit on their country's military for....reasons
The Resident Evil games and animated movies (not the Anderson films) also did a good job of portraying military units as decent. For example in RE Degeneration the U.S. Army quickly got the situation under control when a zombie attack occured in an airport. But what makes RE different from other media in the zombie genre is that there's no such zombie apocalypse that occured worldwide (other than the outbreak in Raccoon City) and zombie viruses merely serve as a backdrop to other themes like terrorism and war in Third World countries
Go away now really means binge watch the drinker......... Well played you handsome devil well played
I watched this, originally "by proxy" as my 17yr old daughter watches everything Korean.... but then realised it was pretty good after half-watching a couple of episodes and then watched the rest of it with her - it was much, much better than most of the crappy Hollywood zombie stuff that ahs come out any time recently.
Same
S.Korean cinema & tv-shows are great. They have a great variety in terms of genres, when it comes to movies, from action & horror/psycho-thriller to sci-fi & historical dramas to RomComs and more arthouse stuff.
I'd also recommend Kingdom. It's another Zombie Korean Show, but set in Feudal Korea. Hella good Zombie show and a breath of fresh air
@Jo Got to be honest, i'd much rather she watched K dramas than American dramas, at least she gets to see some decent people acting decently from time to time... rather than the Idiocracy of 'self-importance rulz all' she'd get from US/UK TV.
@@Antenociti Agree. The refreshing thing about Asian dramas is that the drama usually involves taking into consideration what other people think and feel.
Drinker, watch KINGDOM. Its a South Korean zombie show set in the 15th- century and its fcking awesome
if you like korean zombie productions you should REALLY watch kingdom
Well, i hope to see a few more Korean TV Shows reviewed around here, i think they're pretty good. Hollywoke can keep their lecturing trash, i prefer relatable characters, good stories, men acting like men, women acting like women, and even when their stories are dark, those TV Shows are really entertaining.
Anyway, looking forward to another season of The Silent Sea, may be with Luna Water being transported to Earth and bringing the oceans back to life with unexpected results?
Was silent sea any good?? I saw it advertised but never looked into it and thought it was like a k drama in space lol.
Try Kingdom!
@@Kyle-lx7xo Well, if you compare it to what comes from the western entertainment front, i'd say it is a good show, it has a few action scenes in it, and it also doesn't look cheaply produced, the visual effects are overall decent.
@@LeonBosset I think i watched the series, but i have to watch the movies too now... anyway, another good TV show!
It's also kinda funny how Hollywood will spend hundreds of millions on trying to create a 'strong female character', while South Korea churns them out like it's nothing.
sorry, can't watch this, there aren't any white people so it's unrelatable for me
(this is the internet so I feel obligated to remark that this is a sarcastic joke, I don't feel that way)
7:32 THE MESSAGE!
Just finished this series. Amazing how teenagers can act better than the joke of a performance that we got in Army of the dead, a film with an A-list budget and a director who not only has more film experience but more zombie experience!
Japan and SK are really killing it with storytelling in general these past few years
I hope the trend continues, hollywood needs viable competitors to stop them from pulling all kinds of bullshit and still making money.
Max, is there any good Japanese films you could suggest? I'm always on the hunt for good stuff to watch. 🍻
@@sqebwhen Can you narrow it down a bit? But if classics are ok, I suggest watching everything made by Kurosawa Akira.
Not really "these past few years" tbh. They've been always killing it, it's just that the world is more globalized nowadays so we can consume foreign media more easily than before. Although in general you can find masterpieces, mediocrity and really bad even in eastern media just like in the west.
@@kaltaron1284 well any really, I havent paid much attention to the Japanese market over the years (Apart from classic Manga) but have a fare few south Korean titles. I'll check out your suggestion though so thank you for that :)
I love Drinker's comment about the cultural difference in Korean and Western high schools.😂😂😂
soon as you said it was good, i stopped watching, and started watching the show itself
ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
The downfall of Western media in service to "The Messssaaage" has really been a boon to Eastern media and I am more than happy to be seeing this stuff on our shores. I was stationed in Korea for a year but never bothered endulging in Korean film. I now see what I was missing.
dude, I had a phase for 2 months watching only Korean movies. Anything Korean you watch in the last two decades or so is a masterpiece.
Dude you should watch Parasite. They still have some good shit
I watched Parasite a week ago after my brother told me I had to see it. What a compelling fkn movie that was.
You should watch most of Park Chan-wook's work. He made Old Boy, I'm a cyborg, Snowpiercer, Lady Vengeance...
One of my favorite movies is Korean called "the man from nowhere" there are lots of good movies such as I saw the devil and old boy too. The good the bad and the weird is also one of my favorite movies although that one is Japanese.
I love how most of what I watch nowadays has two phases: the initial viewing of the media itself, and then the Drinker’s review usually confirming the opinion I’ve already formed on it, but conveying it in a way I could never form on my own. Great show, great review!
This is the most accurate thing I've ever heard
As my grandpa would say : Sajnos ugy van fiam
One thing I really appreciated was how surprisingly competent alot of the characters were portrayed to be, at least in terms of the main group of students: multiple characters made realistic, effective choices when it came to fighting zombies, even unarmed, characters who seemed useless at first glance would end up contributing somehting valuable because they had a particular hobby or connection to a certain field, and they were even multiple instances early in the show where my girlfriend would say how come they don't just do so and so, only for them to literally do just that a few seconds later. Really impressive show
The military personnel was portrayed surprisingly competent and even compassionate, too. The commanding officers decision at the end of episode 11 really got me.
@@franktower9006that was a shocking scene
I went into this with multiple recommendations and loved it. It gave a lot of depth to characters and the story was brilliantly told.
Came back happy I wasn't disappointed. Ten trowels out of ten.
You should really watch kingdom now that's a great drama with awesome zombies
Just comparing the money that netflix gave to Snyder for Army of the Dead and what this show got then comparing the end product really does anger me. Like did anyone even watch the Army of the Dead heist prequel?
Yeah Kingdom is turning out quite good.
Didn't even bother watching the Army of the Dead prequel...
Korean here. The real secret to all the amazing shows isn't the cast, director, or even the script. It's the government's hands-off approach to let the creative folks, you know, CREATE. There's no agenda and very little censorship (unless the ultra-conservatives takes over the Presidency from time to time).
The other secret is the Korean audience. Boy, imagine hundreds of thousands of The Critical Drinker-types writing, calling, and Tweeting their complaints when the show sucks. They'd even organize a boycott rally or two to pressure the advertisers when things really get out of hand!
Like what the Samsung heiress and head of CJ Entertainment Miki Lee said during the Parasite's Best Picture acceptance speech, it is the Korean audience that lets the entertainment industry know when they f*ck up. It is this constant pressure to get better and better that's driving everything from Kpop to Kdrama to Kmovies the last 2 decades.
these days the western audience is to """diverse""" to ever be able to move together as one with the same thoughts and requirements.
too divided and at a cultural war with each other.
diversity is a weakness.
Though I must say your kpop isn't exactly good at all (but that's just pop music in general)
Funny that you mention the "ultra-conservatives" as a dampening force on free speech in South Korea. Here in America, it's the people on the opposite side of the political spectrum who are the problem; anything that doesn't march in step with the woke leftist mantra gets vilified, and there are often attempts to cancel the creators, professionally and socially.
The Korean audience has my thanks.
What I don't like is that they have started to introduce in a accelerated rythme SJW agenda like in USA. I really hope that they won't reach a point where in 10 years there will be no difference between Korean movies and Hollyweird.
Then the Korean audience has much gratitude from me.
Sounds like The Breakfast Club with zombies.
Highly recommend "Kingdom" on Netflix (another South Korean one), Zombies in Feudal times and my god does it do suspense right!
It's very good 👍🏽
Just finished season 2 today. Great show.
@@BadDubII Don't forget Ashin of the North special episode.
@@allindignant oh damn, I didnt know abou this. Thank you!
@@BadDubII No problemo.
I watched this show and it was the first time in a while where I couldn’t predict exactly what was going to happen every episode
maybe you should be a writer
That's such a refreshing thing too. I had the same feeling with Squid Game. It felt so new and bold, and actually subversive and going in a new direction of its own. South Korean media is killing it lately.
Reminds me of how predictable cruela was
That was what kept me watching; I genuinely didn't know what would happen next, and was actually excited to find out. Sad that's such a refreshing thing nowadays.
I see people in the comments talking about Kingdom, I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation 😊
I hated how absolutely stupid a lot of the characters were, including the adults.
And then I found out they based the adults choices on a real life tragedy and it made me a bit depressed.(Also the students recording themselves was from it as well)
The cinematography was really nice, and even utilized a lot of subtle background hints of items that would then pay off later.
I just wonder why the drinker always critizes people in movies making stupid decision. Unless he likes the movie than he does not care XD
This comment reeks of the "Star Lord is stupid for punching Thanos" kind of "reviewer".
You DO realize that a character being or acting "stupid" that is consistant with their motivations, knowledge, emotional state, situation etc is actually they way they are meant to act?
Mind sharing what exactly you consider to be stupid and not in character?
@@moomoo924
Star Lord punching Thanos was stupid.
Just like a lot of the things that happen in this series are stupid.
If you notice I didn't say "It wasn't in character".
@@moomoo924 The natural drive for any reasonable person with a shred of common sense in a situation like this is to find or craft effective weapons, find supplies especially water and food and tools that help to survive.
In this series none of the characters had such common sense. None!
They only used occasionally the opportunities that their immediate surrounding offered, but that's what animals do.
Rational humans can prepare, can craft tools and weapons for future encounters. All the characters in this show were extremely dumb in that regard.
There were some head scratching moments. Like when the dad finally finds his daughter, then 5min later unnecessarily sacrifices himself so they can get away. It almost like he couldn't wait to become a martyr.
I liked that the "retrieve important item" troupe was played off of that girl's oppression to erase the evidence of her abuse; as she loses her humanity. So you have two motivations pitted against each other. This show definitely knows how to step up suspense to the next level
I am still disappointed she and her bully never had a zombie showdown.
@@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 my only personnel issue is the age range.. i just find these type of films from asia involving horror and killing using characters that are essentially children just that bit to uncomfortable and the more realistic its done the more uncomfortable i feel.. as much as i enjoyed battle royale the fact it used school kids just always sat weird for me
Thank u for supporting Korean entertainment! Korea loves ya Critical Drinker!
Really solid show. The mom who loves her son so much she opens her business and uses his name as the stores name and then tries so hard to save him... Damn that got me.
It was so sad when he saw her as a zombie.
I am pretty sure it's the other way around. Cheong san even says that he was named after the restaurant
As someone from the southeast asian region I'm pretty used to the quality of Korean productions, and this show is considered normal for our standards.
Glad that many westerners are more exposed to more of these shows!
Anything you would recommend as exceptional, that isn't widely known in the west?
Preferably fantasy, sci-fi or horror, please.
What are some goodies and some baddies?
I'm enjoying the fact that Hollywood is getting curbed by Korean movies and shows.
They managed to make it looks so chaotic with so many actors it looks very realistic, I always thought about all those scenes where hundreds of people ran into each other how they managed not to get hurt and how many takes it took.
I watched season one and this is highly recommended. The season builds really well no one is safe. 10/10.
The way you wrote that, will there be a season two?? I hope this isn't milked as hard as The Walking Dead...talk about a series that's gone on for TOO long!

Tbh, after Train to Busan, Kingdom and All of Us Are Dead, and #Alive I'm very happy with what the Koreans are doing with the zombie genre.
Its been a staple of American cinema for so long that here, it's become a bland "I know what to expect" genre filled to the brim with overused tropes archetypes, clichés and ideas that have been done and done again
Korean cinema put a new spin on the whole thing, with obvious love for the original themes and zombies of Romero, (cultural critic, cramped and claustrophobic or usually not lived-in locations, some zombies retaining memories, the idea of being stuck somewhere, for a few examples) while also giving a new more believable level of threat to the zombies, changing things up culturally to create new problems and thus new solutions (much harder to get a gun in Korea than the USA, therefore melee strategies can be seen that have been completely ignored by most US media. Think of the people in train to Busan duct-taping magazines to their forearms to protect against bites, the kids in All of Us Are Dead using wood panels and gym equipment to form shields in order to move through overwhelming numbers of zombies, this is truly creative, intelligent, on the spot problem solving, and it feels so much more apocalyptical and like a true crisis when a bunch of inexperienced people have to come up with a quickly put together solution with whatever useless everyday object they can use or transform for their purposes.
Its also a breeze of fresh air that the army and police are actually shown to have even a basic understanding of strategy and tactics. The use of drones, high payload missiles, helicopters troops to rescue survivors on the roof, a very strict and very isolated quarantine camp run like a prison and riot police actually holding their shieldwall instead of panicking like a bunch of conscripted peasants.
I'm still super angry about American shows portraying the military as more useless than the Civilians, for example in Fear the Walking dead, the National guard base fell in a couple minutes, cuz they had 2 guys on watch on a tower with such a shit field of vision that they didn't see or hear a 1000+ horde approach.
Pathetic.
As a huge fan of the zombie genre, I'm happy to see someone pick up the torch of the genre's legacy and actually do something great and respectful of the original work, without devolving to western media's new age low standards and politicisation of everything. Plus I get to learn about their culture through their take on it.
Go South-Korea !
There's another zombie series in Netflix called "Kingdom" and it is fantastic. Beautifully directed and atmospheric, the show makes you emotionally invest in every character while also showing the social class issues presented in feudal Korea. Unfortunately, the movie leaves a little to be desired but it's basically a set up for season 3. However, the ending of season 2 will have you on the edge of your seat.
I trully liked it as well, the classic vibe of feudal korea made a surprisingly good mix with the zombie theme.
I love that and I love how they portrayed high school kids/teenagers. There’s no token casting from all race and gender, and making that the central focus. There’s no emphasis on sex which is common staple for teenage shows in the west (it’s really weird how many teenage shows portray a lot of sex). It’s refreshing to see teenagers portrayed as just kids - inexperienced at life being put in a situation that noone, not even adults, can prepare for.
Each kid that died in the show made my heart sink. The actors and actresses portrayed them so well -
"Each kid that died in the show made my heart sink."
Well, except for that one chick. You know the one. FUUUUUUUUCK that chick.
South Korea is mostly homogeneous so of course there wouldn't be any token cast members
Eastern culture is far more disciplined than western culture.....students spend a lot of time studying in eastern societies unlike the morally bankrupt Western students
@@peterparker9954 i wouldn't go that far. the studiousness and obsession with academics are byproducts of a different systemic problem. Too much uniformity and "discipline" is as bad your "morally bankrupt" western students, whatever that means. I can tell you're not part of the eastern academia system if you're willing to say those words confidently and unironically, but a crypto-weab observing from a distance.
I binged Euphoria not long after finishing this series, it's kinda jarring if you remember the characters are supposed to be around the same age as this kids 😂
I'll recommend another k-drama "Happiness"
It’s amazing how simple telling a good story can be when you don’t worry about what people you will offend or want to kiss up too.
This seems like a companion show to "Train to Busan", which was amazing, so I'm all for it even though I'm sick to death of the zombie genre.
Being Korean myself, I'm happy to see South Korea kicking some cinema ass. It sure is refreshing compared to a lot of the garbage oozing out of Hollywood these days.
They reference Train to Busan in All Of Us Are Dead. It's a fictional movie in the show's universe.
As someone who has been a fan of the Kdramas for a while, I'm so happy to see so many more people loving them as much as I do.
My favorite television show of all time is a KDrama and I'm so glad so many more people are starting to see how much work and artistry they put into these shows.
Having said that, All of Us are Dead is a million times better than lame ass Walking Dead.
@@Galactusz007 First couple of seasons were honestly really worth the watch, but its ironically one of those shows thats become a zombie: died a long time ago but keeps shuffling on
authenticity is the great equalizer in the arts and cultures
nothing else matters to people. you might be able to fabricate a little sensationalism around hollow cash grabs or social engineering campaigns..but in the end, only what is authentic art (made for the sake of itself, rather than made for money/fame/propaganda etc) will be embraced and cherished
this is true of all creative expressions, you should be proud. it's no small thing these days in media.
You know stuff is shit, when this stuff is considered not shit.
It's a zombie show. With character development.
I think your rating movies like it's 2022 and not if they're actually good or different or intriguing or actually good.
This was garbage in comparison to a decent show. But great in comparison to 2022.
Start reviewing Bollywood next n blow our mind completely.
Actually Drinker, you do know one of the actresses. It’s easy to miss because her makeup and hair are different but the girl in pink Na-yeon, the actor that plays her Lee Yoo-mi is actually the same actor who plays player 240 or Ji-yeong in Squid Game.
I didn’t know it was her either at first but that just shows how great of an actor she is because the two characters couldn’t be more different.
I’m so happy that the actors from South Korea are finally getting the praise they deserve. Across all the shows I’ve watched from there, their acting is almost always on point. Yes there are times when that’s not true, but some of the best performances I’ve ever seen are from there.
Absolutely fucking loved it, every minute. To bless us with 12 whole episodes as well? South Korea has literally showed us what a shitshow Hollywood has become. Maybe I like the South Korean entertainment due to the fact that they don't feel the need to force diversity and the strong female lead in..
It's America 60 years ago. I'm sure diversity and "the message" will along eventually and fuck them up too.
This show actually had good female characters though
@@KTTstudios yeah exactly, it's because they look for talent instead of a box to tick
Overhyped garbage
i also wish you talked more about the creative escape sequences . i loved how they naturally use their surroundings as tools for survivial . unlike some other movies there were no magic items or mc guffins that save everyone last minute without proper setup. my favorite has to be the part where they use classroom doors as sheilds to block both sides until they make it to the recording room.
agreed
S.Korea has been killing it. If you haven't seen "The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion", its definitely worth watching. The sequel's comming out soon too.
Time To Hunt is badass too.
Been waiting years for this. I hope the protagonist doesn't look too aged. When they ended on that cliffhanger she was about 16. You really need to shoot back to back sequels when you have young actors and not go all Bill and Ted Face the Music.
0:39 it’s South Korea 🇰🇷 time pt shine shows Hollywood isn’t the best player anymore, it’s stime to shine
The Nerd's (Joon-Young) heroic sacrifice was the only time I cried watching the whole series. He saved the upper classman girl he had a huge fight with moments before and took full responsibility for his bad judgement call. And died helping fix his mistake and saving everyone.
It was the dumbest scene in my opinion. Simply because Nam na was right next to them and she could have done that...

Out of all the things that I enjoy in regards to the Drinker's reviews, I appreciate his opposition to the woke mob the most. Thanks for not being a typical film critic and thanks for always being honest with us (and being honest with yourself).
The competent military is easily one of my favorite things in this superb show.
If you enjoyed this, you'll definitely enjoy another Korean zombie/drama series: KINGDOM. I don't know how exactly Korea has been so consistent over the past few years and at this moment I don't much care. They're making great stuff.
I fuckin’ loved Kingdom
But just a heads-up for anyone who watches Kingdom, there's a whole lot of talking. The pace is much slower than in All of Us Are Dead.
@@Pumpkin0_0 It's more like Game of Thrones in medieval Korea and with more zombies than All of Us Are Dead.
@@HydraSpectre1138 Yeah, there are those similarities.
@@Pumpkin0_0 But when they have the zombie scenes, watch out!!!
Every korean show/movie has a character called "chad", in this, it was the girls dad. That tennis court scene was heartbreaking. It was so powerful and emotional i was legitimately sad.
And to be honest, it was bullshit as he just could have escaped with them. I really liked the series but the second half of it was in total worse than the first 6 episodes.
@@boo5ta38 Someone had to secure the gate from the inside of the court.
@@boo5ta38 he was bit, that’s why he literally did that.
@@boo5ta38 how was it bullshit? He got bitten he was as good as dead.
@@poekpally he could have just walked out with the kids before he was bitten.
I watched this on The Drinker's recommendation. Watch "Kingdom" instead. I lost interest when 1/2 of a whole episode was devoted to making a toilet and pooping. The "Messsage" is there too with rivalries with the students and the Koren class system. Rather than two episodes too long, it's about 4. Stuck in the music room for about 3 episodes made me claustrophobic. None of these characters are nuanced. That's why you can't tell them apart. Just a bunch of immature teens caught up in a zombie nightmare.
You should give "Kingdom" a try. Because Its way better than All of us are dead.
I respect that, but it's just as good. It's a different beast though.
@@murkywters
Kingdom-Netflix version btw. Not the manga
The Koreans are on the top of the game, knocked it out of the ballpark with this one! Squid Game got them to the top and this has cemented it. Proper show, none of the Hollywood and BBC/ITV shite in this.
Thats an insult to squid game, this show is terrible
@@JohnyTuff1 I personally think this is better. Not that Squid Game is bad (it's not)
Train to Busan put everyone on notice lol
@Darren Rice Thing is, Squid Game was good but it was the generic master mind type of thing. As a TV show, I prefer All of Us Are Dead
@Darren Rice I like both, I just prefer the other
How come there's only Korean actors in Korean series? We're lucky to have diversity, we even had an historical white viking male played by a black woman. So many examples, it's awesome, I feel sorry for them. 😏
This show occasionally seemed to break its own rules, and some of the character's decisions were laughably bad. But as a lover of zombie flicks, it was very solid.
Two things bothered me overall:
1) Nam-Ra has superpowers, but she always just stands back doing nothing, letting all the other students sacrifice themselves, when she could easily go into the crowd of zombies and accomplish the same job without being bitten.
2) Most people Gwi-Nam (bad guy) bites turn to super-humans, but two of them just turned into normal zombies. Why?
@@snozzlehead92 I totally agree. Also, Onjo's dad's "sacrifice" was...uh...rather sudden and hilariously uncalled for. But aside from the usual zombie flick bs, it was pretty solid.
@@snozzlehead92 The virus has a probablity of integrating with the host, and will depend on source but with Gwi Nam's virus is not all people that can integrate it.
yeah, there were a lot of logical errors. if those didnt exist so prevalenty, it would be a much much greater show.
As someone who frequently watches SK dramas, I thought this series was absolutely horrible. Except for Daesu and a handful of side characters, all the main characters are painfully unlikeable or have made incredibly stupid choices, that's while I still take into account they're average highschoolers. I don't feel bad when most of them are killed and often their deaths are unsatisfying. I keep wondering what's the purpose of all of that struggle since nothing is paid off. It's painfully repetitive after the 4th episode, the pace is all over the place and even when I watch it in 2x speed it still dragged on for too long. I'm glad that Critical Drinker enjoyed it but I just want to warn some people that you might find it a frustrating huge waste of time.
RIP America. My wife has been binge watching Korean and Chineese (fantasy / romantic) show for a few month already. The trend is there.
"unspecified virus of unknown origin" made me laugh out loud LOL !!! and "THE MESSAGE"..... fucking hilarious! Love your videos man! thumbs UP
It's nice watching shows without having an agenda rammed down my throat. You can relate to the characters and see them in your neighbors and co workers.
I imagine that the characterizations of the high school students are pretty spot on. I was a little impatient with their behavior at times but then I remembered these are young teens trying to save themselves despite the fact that their adolescent issues keep intruding.
South Korea's Kingdom is also pretty epic.
The constant fear for the characters knowing that anyone could die and that even 1 zombie is more than enough of a problem is really refreshing in a zombie story.
It's nice to see more Korean shows and movies getting attention in the West.
They're not just getting attention here, they are getting praised.
I want to see Drinker review Ichi. Now that's a rollercoaster of a movie
It sure is good that Korea churn out these shows and movies when western entertainment is creatively bankrupt and political to the point of depression.
Western cinematography turned into garbage.
Western media is garbage
I would like to disagree. The Walking Dead in my opinion (in the earlier seasons anyway) far out strip Korea's 'zombie movie' niche. All Of Us Are Dead innovate in no way shape or form, being rigid and formulaic if not a stretched out carbon copy of Train To Busan, a acting zombie horror movie as a disguise for social commentary beneath, a problem opposite of TWD, being the power creep of the story, upping the drama to ridiculous levels to retain an idea of a 'threat and enemy' without care of logical story planning.
Case in point:
TWD journey jumped open when we experience the apocalypse via Rick who was unaffected by the whole thing, being separated. He then experiences and molded by the events around him and grow as he would to adapt to the new world. We then got a spark of hope that this whole thing could be fixed, leading us to a journey to find medicine to cure our homeland, which turned out to be a false hope. Then the show led us to a journey to find home and companionship, which it did wonderfully. Then it tried to do the same thing again, only upping the threat level. It worked a little less. Then they did it again. and again. And again. and now we came to this. Because there was no moving past 'finding a home.'
The same with Korean horror zombie movie. Train to Busan was a perfect storm. Classical horror writing with classical zombie elements, no super powers, no weird abilities, no strange combinations, just zombies and humans in its most basic elements. Then there was the second part of Train to Busan that no one talks about which tried to increase the drama by power creeping and fell on its face. However, as mentioned above, repeating something is bad, and All Of Us Are Dead did exactly that, taking what works with Train of Busan and not changing how the story evolves, with the same old pattern of extremely rigid basics being applied over and over until the story is concluded.
I see the Drinker has a growing appreciation for Korean film. I would love for you to take a look at Taegukgi, a Korean war epic about two brothers drafted into the Korean War. Definitely one of the best war films I've seen in my time.
Brotherhood of war is its english name. And you are correct, one of the best war movies of all time.
What I find funny is that in the “west” we have to have diversity in films , tv shows etc but in these counties like Korea , China , Russia etc diversity doesn’t matter. Because it’s about talent not race or colour.
Diversity of ideas is a concept used by the East, but diversity of skin-color and sexuality is what the West uses that's why we end up losing.
Let's not downplay that places like Korea, China, Russia, and Japan are incredibly racist and homophobic. America has come a long way in acceptance of diversity and LGBTQ peoples while these countries are still about 20 years behind.
@@hysuka2 But only white people can be racist, because racism is a construct of white societal power.
Just kidding, you're right lol.
@@hysuka2 Japan is unironically more conservative than the so-called Evangelical ones of US, and they see the leftist politics as natural enemies of their culture. Don't forget that Shintoism isn't like Abrahamic religions so they're extremely hostile to accepting enemy's ideology because some random dude preached forgiveness years ago. In conclusion, they are better than us because they don't bend the knee unless it's for their culture!
@@onetruesavior69 They're not better than western culture, just different. American culture NEEDED to be taught to unlearn its societal prejudices because the people who live in America are multicultural. It's not as homogeneous as the east. Don't swing too far right out of a knee-jerk reaction to woke politics. That's how extremists are made.
I’ve never disagreed more with you. This show blows
Also I have never seen so many comments about “tropes” in my life. Seems a bit suspicious
I tried watching this series, and I couldn't make it though it. I really like what Korea has been putting out entertainment wise, Train to Busan is great (and I thought them mentioning it in this show was cute) as well as Kingdom, but I really couldn't like any of the characters in this show. They all make really dumb decisions and they're actions don't do much to make up for it. One of the character's arcs is that she was a stuck up brat who was willing to turn someone into a zombie so everyone wouldn't think she was wrong, proceeds to do nothing to try and redeem herself, then is killed in a manner that I felt was meant to have the viewer feel bad for her. The characters and story don't seem flushed out beyond "there is a zombie outbreak in a school, how will the students survive?" There's literally a point where the characters state that they won't be able to survive more than three days without water, and at that point it has already been about a day. The show then completely forgets about that point after it had its characters spend a full five to ten minutes arguing about, and you never see them address the issue again even after the point where they should have died from dehydration by the story's timeline. I feel like this show was made solly to take advantage of the Zombie craze that's been going through Korea for the least few years
They drank the rain water, it was a whole big scene. Also, I don't think the viewer was meant to feel pity for Na-Yeon. It was more like, damn, she was finally going to do the right thing by the students and bring them food and drinks, which obviously doesn't make up for turning Gyeong-Su, but it would have helped them a ton. However, she got killed and failed her mission.
All of Us are Dead is what Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City
should have been.
Nahh, the zombies are different in the RE games compared to All of us are dead. Their old school, and slow walking corpses. Not the 28 days later super fast, rabies zombie type😂
@@pizzathehutt1812 maybe the point he's trying to make is the storytelling, characters, etc. coz it's general knowledge that RE's zombies are slow as heck
@@pizzathehutt1812 What I'm trying to say is that Resident Evil should be a Survival Horror, set in a small city or town similar to AOUAD, also the production value is much better than the new RE movie. From the Outbreak to Government Response to the Incident.
@@aaronarnaldo7397 yeah true, I doubt we’d ever get a good live action resident evil movie, which is a shame really. In the right hands you could have an intense, well structured horror film right there. And I suppose I just miss the old school zombies, and the decayed, corpse look
@@pizzathehutt1812 Wasn't the 28 Days Later Infected just "rage humans"? :P
My only complaints about the movie were:
-The death of a certain character in the last chapters was completely unecessary and meaningless (if you already saw the series you will know who I am talking about).
-The protagonists take too much locked in school and that makes it very boring sometimes. It is assumed that for "realism" but they could well take advantage of the fact that they had nothing to eat, to motivate them to go out.
-They mention that in 2 days they could not even move due to lack of water and food, but you see them running and fighting like nothing happens. Throughout the series they are only seen taking rain drops and 2 cm of snickers chocolate.
It wasn't that entertaining but in terms of plot, script and even special effects, it was very well done.
It’s also refreshing when the characters know what zombies is a cool welcome, I hate it in zombie fiction when the characters call them something stupid like “shamblers” or something equally ridiculous.
Also when the trailer mentioned “it’s like train to Busan” I was overly amazed
It's one of those stupid hollyweird things. They decided you couldn't call them zombies, or people would not like it... yeah, they are completely out of touch.
@@eldritchedward I think they do it because they want the characters to react like they have no idea what the hell is happening. If the characters know what zombies are right from the start a lot of the tension and drama you could have used for storytelling is dispelled right away because the characters already know the zombies' weaknesses. That could potentially be a good thing, like skipping the origin story in a superhero movie about a character everyone already knows about, if you have some clever twists on the standard zombies or high quality writing that can carry you through a whole story without wasting several hours of screen time on "HOW DO ZOMBIES WORK DURR." But if you don't, if you're using bog standard zombies with a competent but unremarkable writing staff, you want that early "We don't know what's happening, what is going on, how can we survive this?!" drama to pad out the length of your show or movie.
@@chriswhinery925 No-no, I actually mean their marketing departments determined it wouldn't sell, but using other words would be just dandy. I'm pretty sure there must still be videos around of interviews from back then where they mentioned this.
But yes, I agree with what you're saying, but this "don't use the word zombie" was actually a thing.
It's funny that "Shaun of the Dead" touched on this in 2004, it referenced the use of everything but "zombie" in movies when Shaun cut off Ed and told him not to use "the zed word". It's been almost 20 years, you'd think Hollycrooked would have caught on by now.
@@CharlieFoxtrot I'd assume it was mocking that very phenomenon :D .
“Hellbound” is the most overlooked Korean show on Netflix. It’s cosmic horror done right (unlike Birdbox).
I liked this. Very interesting twist at the end of season 1.
Hellbound deals with some very uncomfortable topics that forces people to reflect on themselves.

@@PrincessMavenKittyDarkholme Your mother
anytime the entire critical and pop cultural industrial complex aligns around promoting a certain film (ie Birdbox, Black Swan, Us) you can be sure the films will a) not be as good as they are made out to be, b) will be heavvvvvvvvy on the metaphorical, let's say 'taunting of the public' and c) steeped in esoteric and occult subtext.
while these distinctions may sound unimportant at best and hysterical at worst...i can assure you they are not unimportant to those financing, producing, and promoting these films.
Kingdom is also kick arse, and yes another zombie show, KHorror really kicking goals recently with some well above average movies. Hoping for some serious disc action for these shows in the future. If anyone from Eastern Eye downunder is reading, put me down for some 4k disc sales. Yes horror collector over here with an ever increasing number of KHorror titles.
My daughter showed me this show and its one of the best survival horror from any media that i've experienced.
If you loved Squid Game and AOUAD, then you then "The Silent Sea" should be your next pick...it has a quite unique premise, and the eight episodes -- despite feeling a bit draggy at times -- grip you pretty well. Hope we get your review of this one sometime soon!
The Silent Sea is the best show I've seen in some time. Honestly can only find minor flaws. Loved the acting and the ending was well thought out.
@@Solomanium You're right! The performances of the cast pull you into the story's crisis very well; although I feel that the ending could be a bit more pessimistic.
are u actually kidding me? the silent sea is poorly written, and has so many plot holes, the only good thing about it is the performances of the actors, if he were to review it, i’d be willing to bet that he would call it a below average, a meh, or just a terrible show.
I'm still halfway the series. It's pretty good, but also very long imo. Way too much filler to pad the runtime.
YAY! I watched it because of your recommendataion. Absolutely amazing show!
Just finished the series and it's nigh on perfect.
I avoided it as thought it'd be a teen thing or played for laughs - I was wrong!
“nigh on perfect”😧🤯🤦🏾♂️
@@Jay-Voorhees Not it is nigh on perfect 🤣
Well this series has the most unique zombie transformation I have ever seen. I enjoyed the first season however the formula did get a bit repetitive once I figured it out. Characters get chased by zombies. Eacape them by getting into a secure room. A few characters have a heart to heart talk. Something forces them out of the safe room. Another zombie horde chases them. They escape into another secure room. Characters have meaning discussion. Rise and repeat.
Even so I think it is the best zombie series to come along in a long time and even rivals The Walking Dead in some ways. I liked how the virus was grounded in reality and didn't follow the usual trope of no matter how people die they to turn into zombies.
However, the superhuman/zombie hybrid mutaion killed the reality of the virus and lowered the stakes. Fortunately, they limited it to only 3 characters.
Anyway I hope Netflix renews it for a second season because I would love to see what happens as the remaining characters continue to fight to survive.
I was looking forward to watching it... but was honestly disappointed. Too much (like you said) running from one room to the other. The parts outside the school in the town were much better. I thought it got better once they finally got out of the main school and begain venturing uphill towards the sports area of the school. Really liked the geography of the school grounds and local town. Also wasn't too much of a fan of the superhuman powered zombie human part, which i think would be the main story of a second season if one happens. Shame, rather they focused on the crazed zombie virus then that. The virus could be seeing to reach northern of the country towards North Korea, where things would get much worse.
Gonna have to stop you there at “even rivals the walking dead in some ways” this show is great. A bit repetitive like you said, so can the walking dead. But, the walking dead is probably the most watched zombie show. It’s broken historic records and more. A bit disrespectful towards the walking dead to be making claims of that sort.
@@Nixkmh I'm a huge Walking Dead fan. My previous comment was not meant to trash what was the best live action zombie show on television for several years. I guess using the word "rival" was not the best way to express the point I was making. All Of Us Are Dead has enough credibility to make the case that it is no doubt good enough to be the Asian Walking Dead.
With better writing and less repetitiveness, the show could become must see viewing on Netflix.
In the spirit of Korean film, i loved "The Spy Gone North." Absolutely fascinating drama regarding South-North espionage during the late 90s; I encourage giving it a viewing.
I'm loving All of Us Are Dead, thank you for talking about it Drinker. Can anybory recommend me some korean show with a good romance, specially one targeted at a straight male audience (if there even is such a thing)? Lately I've been dying to watch something with romance. I tried these doramas but they are too feminine for my tastes and I hate love triangles
South Korea has been knocking out annexing films for years now. It's good people are waking up to them. If you liked "The Spy Gone North", check out Joint Security Area, Brotherhood of War or A Taxi Driver.
Well.... There is a first time for everything and this is the first drinkers review/recommendation that flopped for me. Wasted whole Sunday watching this series still hoping to find something I have missed. When he said few episodes a bit slow it is not true - all episodes are no matter how much action in between. All episodes should have been 25 minutes not 1 hour. Very repetitive scenes. Everything is stretched out to appoint where I started skipping. So many plot points were introduced for no reason like the pink sweater girl. Won't spoil it but who watched will agree that after certain scene she should have been cut out from the episodes because she did nothing - just added unnecessary time and took away from actual plot which is moving forward for a change. I understand this is should be drama/horror with some action in between but when a dozen zombies have 0 impact and 1 has unbelievable amount of damage to the whole group just kills the whole horror aspects of this series. So many times people have weapons and absolutely clear kill hit to the head they always go for the back of the zombie unless that person is an archer... I get they are all kids but the amount of parkour stuff they do, seams very unbalanced that at some points they are weak and dumb all of the sudden... As if the plot needs them to be so instead of sticking to their abilities. The only reason I watched is just for laughs at the end. Liked some of the drama aspects but they almost every time follow by something silly that ruins the build up. Great effect (CGI and practical). Ending a bit rushed and not very satisfying. All together give it 5 out of 10. Would have been 8 out of 10 if they reduced the time per episode to at least 30 minutes by cutting things like sitting for long times, talking about the same issues again again, slow building (could have been shot in 2-3 shots instead like 8 or 10 of the same thing). I still trust drinkers opinion because every other movie I watched before or after review matched just this was a disappointment.
Yup, Korea is way better at entertainment nowadays than you know, that one tired old place that once ruled.
The drinkers reviews are truely legendary. Scottish also and he’s spot on about the culture. 👍
This show is basically High School of the Dead without the fan service.
There is so much great entertainment coming out of Korea and Japan. Another series I watched recently on Netflix was a show called “Alice in borderland”. Great show throughout with the last 3 or 4 episodes combining into such an intense and suspenseful finale.
What this show does right for me are exactly what most western shows now do wrong with this kind of stuff; The characters are likable and logical to how their character should behave and they all grow in a realistic way. I also like how the military etc come across as somewhat believable and competent. What I like most is how this show isn't some spite filled, miserable, depressing "shocking just to shock" show like the Walking Dead.
It's a mediocre zombie survival drama at best. It fails to be internally consistent. Does blood in a wound result in infection and if so why doesn't everyone get infected considering blood is in nearly every orifice? The creation of the virus was pseudo-science non-sense. The hybrids were lame and created to give a soap opera drama feel. Demand better. 28 days later and Train to Busan were excellent examples of the genre. This was awful in comparison.
Aaa Korea is my oasis in a dessert of social justice and inclusiveness of the west
I chuckle a little when reading this comment as it is so accurate. Watching Korean movie remind me of the time Hollywood back in the day when director and actor care about their movie and don’t care too much about sjw nonsense and just play the part to the fullest
I think the reason this is so good is how relatable the characters are!
In a western production they'd all look like models and not have a single brain cell between them!!
Exactly ! In a western production shows all they care about is wokeness.
@@user-in5ru2cd9l and making the big CGI action scenes happen by any means necessary
@@user-in5ru2cd9l Wokeness wouldn't have them all looking like models. It'd have them all looking like land-whales with hirsute armpits and blue melons. Woketards HATE the "idealized" beauty standards that pretty/handsome models embody because it requires work to achieve and maintain.
Maybe they DO all look like models, to a Korean audience.
The Rock sitting behind his desk "Teacher, I think there's something going on with her, she looks strange"
Imo this is an absolutely terrible show. Character decisions don’t make sense, and they only happen to serve the plot. Actors are just okay but I couldn’t stand the first few episodes of non-sensible drama. For example, spoiler alert, in one scene the main guys left a classroom becos of a zombie, and in another they discovered they can just throw the zombie out the window. Only reason they didn’t know how to do that the first time round is becos the plot needs to move forward.
Now you HAVE to watch Sweet Home! Korean filmmakers are absolutely OWNING the horror genre these days
There was also another Asian horror film called Sweet Home but this one is a Japanese film from the 1980s.
It was made by Toho (the Godzilla studio) and it is a really good horror film, but its licensed video game adaptation from Capcom for the Famicom (Japanese NES) is even better.
The Sweet Home Famicom game is much more well-known than the movie and it directly inspired the Resident Evil games.
I've been watching some Korean series lately too, more and more. It's funny even when it's campy and sometimes kinda silly there's a sense of familiarity that makes you want more and go back.
There are lots of moments of humanity, simple and their behaviors are endearing.
Chicks can be sassy and all but can often show signs of vulnerability and really touching moments. They craft good characters even sometimes let's be real, out of assembly lines, but I dig it!
I wish America had the Asian work ethic. Our economy would be in better shape.
Literally just finished watching it and loved every minute. There's more emotional payoff in this 12 episode series than there is in 14 years of MCU. Brilliant storytelling. Even the 'bad' characters are fun and engaging. You'll think with a lot of them, "I know a guy/girl like that." I think I'll stick with Korean series' for a while, they know what they're doing, and it's all new and exciting stuff that seems to be getting produced.
I can’t believe people cried for marvel….. can’t trust movies nowadays
@@marcosgallo803 the only thing i cried for was wandavision (the ending). no, i wasn’t balling my eyes out. just a couple tears.
Hope more webtoons will become good tv series just as this one. Korean web comics have so many great stories to show.
I was hoping that someone would reference this, I'm more a manga fan than manhwa but the odd story I've read has been great.
Same! I'm hoping for more physical media to be available for purchase to further support webtoons. I'm hoping the market opens for western translations of manhwa and light novels. I've noticed that Japanese light novels are quickly hitting the western market.
