Newtopia

It is good and beyond my expection ! Jeongmin JISOO and all cast did a great job and the production and plot is also great. The flow of plot is fast and fun. It really worth to watch. Comedy and zombie together seems fresh and fun combination so I am looking forward to more episodes. Also JISOO is so pretty and her acting is very natural. Her acting is really good and you will not believe she just formally star in two series. Park Jeongmin is a good actor I know him already but he is also really good. Other co-stars all did a great job. The horizontal and vertical moving of scenes also make senses.

I was impressed with the quality of this production: time just flew by and didn't find a boring scene. The story background was simple but realistic that I was easily drawn into the story. It was quite an interesting feeling to be scared but found it funny at the same time while watching. To me, it was a chill show to wrap up my busy week with some joy and excitement at the same time!

Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!

Last but not least, no dobt Jisoo's acting has been improved (for sure male lead was doing a great job as well!). Also, I was wondering how Jisoo still look so gorgeous in those scaring scenes! Nice Watch!

Only 2 episodes have released but honestly saying, I am just obsessed with the series already. Everything is so good but the best part is the comedy. I am enjoying it so much, can't wait for the zombie action scenes but I am loving the comic elements as of now. Park Jeong Min is great great great and so hilarious for real. I am now his fan for sure. As for Kim Jisoo, I knew she was a crackhead in Blackpink so of course this role would suit her a lot and she didn't disappointed me at all. She is so funny as well and I definitely see the improvement in her acting from snowdrop. She acted great in snowdrop as a debutant but at some points, it felt like "she is acting", but as young Joo, it doesn't feel like she is acting, it feels like she is young Joo, she is living that character which is important for any actor out there. The plot is also quite interesting and very unusual which makes it even better. It's different from other zombie series definitely, and I am so excited for the upcoming episodes of Newtopia.

Not your typical romcom or zombie thriller. Feels more like a movie than kdrama. Director should've start the show with female lead since kdrama fans love beautiful visuals. And show more of them together to get viewers connected with them til 8th ep

**They'll show more of their relationship in between as flashbacks, like the scenes in Shop for killers (same writer).

Pros: Good acting, good chemistry between cast, easy and straight forward plot, zombies are bloody gore, the lead couple are cute in flashbacks, the FL team looks promising for a fun ride with zombies, ML seems creative and not scared fighting zombies so it's not dumb and dumberer just a hint of humor take

Cons: Too short and quickly done scenes, unsure which direction it'll take next which is good to keep us guessing but also worry it'll be heavily leaning to soldiers instead of the romantic leads. I hope I'll come back and say how happy there's very little military scene especially the squad leader we don't really care about them like that.

So far I'm into episode 4. Ep1 was indeed a bit boring, as has been said by others. But you'll get to the end. In Ep2 the story begins to unfold. Don't expect a masterpiece in originality or story telling or camera work or dialog or anything really. All the 10 star reviews are just not objective, but neither are the 1 stars. Taste may be a bigger factor here than in other shows, because the story is nothing new, but it is done in a somewhat original way as a mix of horror (not much of it really), drama, and comedy (childish/quirky /silly, like in many k-series), and it may just suit you or it may not. It's harmless k-comedy-drama at its core in a zombie setting. Why not. The characters are a bit generic and could use more depth, but I do care about the main parts. And I wonder how the story continues, and what becomes of them.

So all in all, a solid 7. After Ep4 I raise to 7.5. Fine with me for a few hours of escapism.
