Another rise in Netflix took over after the streaming platform premiered a new K-drama ‘All Of Us Are Dead’. The show has topped its charts in over 25 countries since it has been released.
The drama is about a Zombie apocalypse. The show topped as the most-watched within a short period of time in over 25 countries from 28 Jan, including in South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore.
All of Us Are Dead director Lee Jae-gyu talked about this huge success addressing a surprise in an interview with Edaily Korea.
The director said, ‘I truly can’t believe all the love it has received from so many countries around the world.
‘I think this will come as a great relief to all the actors and staff who devoted themselves to this project for two years.’
‘All Of Us Are Dead’ follows a group of high school students who find themselves trapped on campus as a zombie apocalypse spreads like wildfire based on the webtoon Now ‘At Our School’ by Joo Dong-geun. A number of familiar faces have worked in the series, including Actress Park Ji-hoo and Yoon Chan-young of Doctor John fame.
In other K-drama news, Squid Game star Wi Ha-joon is set to join the cast of upcoming tvN K-drama Little Women, alongside Kim Go-eun, Nam Ji-hyun, and Park Ji-hu. The consultant Choi Do-il role will be played by Wi. The character is a charismatic, analytical man who crosses paths with his eldest sister Oh In-joo during the incident.
Considerably, this one is the third Korean series to achieve such a high rise in a row after the great succession of Squid Game and Hellbound.
