Although the trailer is in Korean, the show is dubbed in English, so you don't have to worry about looking at the bottom of the screen and missing any action.
I randomly decided to watch this show yesterday and ended up binging it. Each episode is around the 45-50 minute mark. Think Resident Evil meets The Last of Us. Residents of an apartment building are forced to barricade themselves inside when people start to turn in to various types of monsters and kill any human they see. Sign of infection includes a gushing nosebleed, in which people are to quarantine themselves with the hope they can survive the 15 day period without turning in to a bloodthirsty monster. There is a small store in the building, but, food and water start to run low and they'll have to eventually venture out in to the world of monsters to get more. There are also 'good' monsters, but, can humans and monsters in general co-exist?
While most of the residents stay together in the main lobby of the building, there are other residents roaming about the upper floors who have been infected and have turned in to monsters. A few of the characters set out to look for survivors in the units, while evading the monsters who roam the halls.
This show has plenty of blood in it, some scary monsters (like the one in the trailer still, he was the creepiest for me), some intense moments that will have you at the edge of your seat, waiting in anticipation to see what happens, a lot of characters, with many of them strong female representations, some funny moments to break up the horror, and just a great story overall to keep you hooked with some unexpected moments as well.
The only downfall for me was the quality of the monsters. They basically look like video game monsters inserted in the real world, and, most of them just look far less scary because of it. I just wish they did a better job of making the monsters look more realistic (the bat fella is the only one who was scary to me, no matter what, and didn't really look as video game-ish as others).
I took a chance on this show just because it was a horror and I love horrors, I am really glad I did and I hope they get renewed for a season 2.
