At a certain point, the proceedings do fall prey to a bit of exhausting repetition, vacillating as they do between teen squabbles and battles against swarms of voracious reanimated corpses who care only about sinking their teeth into necks, arms, and legs. Then again, All of Us Are Dead makes a compelling, and often thrilling, case that a viral apocalypse would ultimately become more than a bit monotonous—something that everyone in the real world can likely relate to right now.
“All of Us Are Dead” is nothing if not self-aware. It’s also quite well executed, even when it feels more like an exercise than an organic creation.

Beyond the visceral thrill of watching zombies chow down on their unfortunate victims, All Of Us Are Dead puts social hierarchies and human beings’ mechanisms for survival under a microscope.
There are faint glimmers of a leaner, more confident show that peek through. ... For a show with nearly a 12-hour running time, though, there aren’t nearly enough to break a familiar story’s repetitive cycle.
The school plotlines really work, in large part thanks to continued ingenuity with the props and sets and the charismatic young cast, with Yoon Chan-young and Cho Yi-Hyun as notable standouts. The show’s weakness, then, lies beyond the labyrinthine school itself as it tries to view the outbreak from the outside in. Watching yet another military take on zombies, no matter how bone-crunchingly sickening the ones in “All of Us Are Dead” are, just isn’t that interesting after seeing so many other TV shows and movies do the same.
I'm not a fan of TV series and this one is not exception. althrough i enjoyed this show. Greatly shows human nature and feelings. Scenario is great and actors doing their job just on point too. Has some downsides but generally positive overall. Highly suggested to fans of Train To Busan type zombies, especially it's also korean movie.

Some of the contrivances in this are just insane. Your suspension of disbelief must be at an all-time high to excuse some of the characters ridiculous/poor decisions. That doesn't make it a bad show though. However, it does mean you'll be sat there saying things like: "Omg would you just close the door behind you ffs"
"Omg would you run, run, like seriously! RUN! You have so much time!"
"Just tell her! Omg just tell him! Talk to each other ffs!"
"Why are you still standing there? Omg do something!"
"Can no one see that? It's right there, are these people blind?"
"Wait at the end of the last episode he was about to... How is he... what?"
Now, if you can ignore all the times you'll feel this way, WHICH WILL BE A LOT, it's an okay zombie show. Initially I was worried about teen angst, I don't like teen drama, its usually boring and revolves around people not saying things that could easily solve 90% of any and all problems. Luckily the show splits its focus from time to time, and we get to see different groups of people dealing with very different situations. It's a good break from the Teen angle and lets us see glimpses of how the world is reacting to this situation. I think if this were written a bit better, with less contrivances, and characters I actually cared about, I could've given it a higher score.
I think if people are overly positive about this it's the whole K-pop vibe people are on... Essentially, anything Korean gets a pass due to pop culture favouritism. Whereas, if people are overly negative, it's potentially due to the cliched teen drama, contrivance filled writing and dumb character decisions that they can't overlook for the sake of entertainment. Look, it's no Kingdom. It's no Train to Busan (THE 1ST ONE OMG that second movie was baaaad). But it's an okay watch.
Oh, one last thing... Too many episodes.
