Zombie Detective

The first thing I noticed about this one: AMAZING picture. And this is the main reason I rate this so high.

It had promise and it started very well, but the sister ruined the whole drama for me with her overacting. I don't blame the actress. It's her role. She wasn't the only bad role, but definitely the worst. In the attempt to make the drama funnier, they made some characters overact. It definitely didn't work.

I would have rated with 7 stars if not for the stupid humour. It's a shame because there are some parts with nice humour, more fitting to the dark side of the drama. So, barely 6 stars for the production quality.

... even if you're not into zombies. There's a bit of overacting, but not excessively so. Indeed, it's rather meant to be. A few plot holes, but then again, with such a story, that's par for the course.

This is not meant to make sense. It's meant to entertain, and does so well. The obsessions over absurd points, such as striving to not look like a zombie, mocks the current men's beauty trends. The over-the-top annoying female lead pokes fun at the stereotypical female KDrama trope. One gets the feeling that everyone was in on the joke, and worked seamlessly to pull it off.

I get a distinct Park Hyung-sik vibe from Park Ju-hyun. She has the same expressions and ability to portray multi-layered characters. She also has the gift of physical comedy, though it's not as evident. Watch her in a few more shows, especially Mouse, and see if you catch that vibe, too.

A man awakens on a rubbish dump with no recollection of how he got there and even worse he is now a zombie with a hunger for human flesh. He assumes the role of a murdered detective and tries to find out about his past with the help of a nosy female whilst trying to suppress his hunger. Interesting idea with a great cast keeps the story moving over the twelve episode and some amusing moments make it an ok watch.

I did not like this one at all. I really tried but it was nothing special. You would expect that the Zombie Detective to have an impact on actual ongoing investigations while working on how he came to be, but unfortunately there was no such impact. I also couldn't connect with Park Joo-Hyun's character at all. The comedy aspect of the series did not help at all fill that gap. Skip this one. Not worth it.

The female lead character is over-the-top agressive, pushy and loud to get what she wants. It's always her way and she won't let ANYONE say no to her. If you can take that, then you'll love this show! But Choi Jin Huyk has such a 'bloody' good role that you will likely put all that aside. I couldn't. But go enjoy...the humour is on the cheesy side but the 'Beef Tripe' is tasty.
