Why watch?

Park Jeong-min and JISOO as two people trapped in a dystopian escape have actual chemistry — every scene they're in together gets weirder and funnier. It's sci-fi on the surface, but with so much absurdist dark humor baked in that it feels like a Coen Brothers movie got filtered through Korean comedy logic. The world keeps shifting its rules in ways you don't see coming, which is what keeps you hooked instead of knowing what's about to happen.

Who is it for?

Watch this when you want a sci-fi adventure that doesn't take itself seriously — fast, funny, zero depression. If you liked Doctor Who or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, same energy: action mixed with humor and weird worlds. Park Jeong-min carries the whole thing, and the more absurd it gets, the better. Safe for teenagers and up, nothing graphic or offensive.

Like Newtopia, they're not afraid to shift between tones and build worlds that operate on their own rules.

Classic overview

Jae-yoon, a late military enlistee, and his girlfriend, Young-joo, break up over the phone over growing misunderstandings. But a zombie outbreak rocks the world. A national emergency is declared, a plane crashes in the city center, and Jae-yoon and his unit get trapped on top of a Seoul skyscraper. Young-joo risks the zombie-filled streets to find him. Can their love survive the apocalypse?

AI Spotlight

Powered by Claude

A late-night phone breakup between Jae-yoon, a soldier, and Young-joo turns into something much worse when a zombie outbreak hits Seoul and his unit gets trapped on top of a high-rise. Park Jeong-min plays the soldier caught between duty and desperation as the city collapses around him, while JISOO's Young-joo fights through zombie-filled streets to reach him. Han Jin-won and Ji Ho-jin mix survival horror with genuine relationship stakes—it's not just about staying alive, but whether these two can reconnect when everything's falling apart. If you watched All of Us Are Dead or Hellbound, you know the Korean zombie-apocalypse energy this taps into.
