(SPOILERS) It was seriously hype the first duration of episodes but then it kinda fell off later on. I mean it was still good but it wasn’t as good as the first episodes. PROS: -I see a lot of people saying that it kept killing some of the main characters off too quickly and brutally but to me it seemed very realistic. If they kept all the main characters in the end it would seem “nontransparent” cuz it’s a zombie apocalypse film so death is inevitable. So the experience felt more real at least to me. -I liked how complex some of the issues were delivered. We got to see that the main bully was pretty much irredeemable but then we saw a little more of Nayeon and how she arguably wasn’t a complete brat (she at least tried to help her classmates in the end). Especially in an apocalyptic setting, it’s refreshing to see some of the “antagonists” being portrayed more deeply instead of them being showcased as 1 dimensional a-holes. Or one of our portrayed “heroes,” jimin, who (despite all that they’ve gone through together) left that other girl to get eaten to save herself. CONS: -I don’t know if it was just me but the main girl annoyed me a lot; the actress that played her was also not that great (imo). Esp in the aftermath scene of when cheongsan and her dad died, or when she was comforting jimin, her crying portrayal seemed very bland and just non expressive. -that “non zombie and non human” concept that was seen with eunji, bully dude, and namra was stupid tbh; it never even got explained and just seemed to be a filler obstacle and defense mechanism for the main characters to deal with. There were many more that bothered me but since I’m running out of characters I’ll leave it at that. Whether you love this show or hate this show I will respect whatever opinion. But Train to Busan will forever remain South Korea’s best zombie/apocalyptic film. Peace.
