Can’t get enough of the ‘All of Us Are Dead’ cast? Make sure to add these K-dramas and films to your must-watch list
It’s all fun and games until a zombie apocalypse causes a town’s destruction.
Hold on to your uniforms as Netflix’s All of Us Are Dead tells a story of a zombie apocalypse that sweeps over the fictional town of Hyosan in South Korea. The 12-episode series packs a punch in every episode as it features blood, gore, violence, bullying, sexual harassment, problem-solving, and a ton of zombies.
As the modern zombie series drops on Netflix, we’ve compiled a list of K-dramas and Korean films featuring its cast. If you’ve spotted a new actor to stan, don’t miss out on our fangirl guide below:
Lee Yoomi (Lee Nayeon)
Perhaps, the most familiar face in the cast is Lee Yoomi who played Jiyeong (Player 240) in Netflix’s breakout series Squid Game. Our hearts are still broken after she sacrificed herself for Kang Saebyeok’s (Jung Hoyeon) survival in the Marbles game. In All of Us Are Dead, however, this actress is set to annoy the viewers as one of the villains.
Park Jihoo (Nam Onjo)
If you’re wondering why Park Jihoo’s acting skills are topnotch at a young age, it’s because she appeared in the critically-acclaimed 2018 film House of Hummingbird. Set in 1994, Jihoo portrayed the 14-year-old Eunhee who witnessed the historic collapse of the Seongsu Bridge in Seoul.
Cho Yihyun (Choi Namra)
Another familiar face is Cho Yihyun who portrayed the determined medical student Jang Yunbok in Hospital Playlist. Compared to her feisty role in All of Us Are Dead, Yihyun portrayed the hardships that every medical student face as they enter the industry for the first time.
Park Solomon (Lee Soohyuk)
Park Solomon has been stealing the hearts of K-drama fans even before appearing in All of Us Are Dead. The actor caught the viewers' attention with his charming portrayal of popular boy Jihoon in the 2017 web drama Sweet Revenge. In fact, the modern zombie series is Solomon’s first K-drama after a five-year hiatus from acting.
Yoon Chanyoung (Lee Cheongsan)
All of Us Are Dead is considered to be Yoon Chanyoung’s breakout role since he appeared as the younger versions of lead K-drama actors since his 2013 debut. One of our favorite roles of Chanyoung is the young Wang Rin in the period K-drama The King in Love.
Yoo Insoo (Yoon Gwinam)
Before Yoo Insoo pissed viewers off in All of Us Are Dead, he portrayed the hopelessly in love Yoo Pilsang in the coming-of-age series At Eighteen. Insoo’s silent pining towards Hwang Romi (Han Sungmin) was so cute that we can’t help but scream when they finally get together.
Kim Byungchul (Lee Byeongchan)
While Kim Byungchul portrayed the creepy science teacher Mr. Lee in All of Us Are Dead, he was the source of comic relief in SKY Castle. His portrayal of Cha Minhyuk (Seunghye’s dad) is the well-needed break from the stressful world of the old rich.
