At different times mankind has to face various diseases, natural disasters, epidemics. In many cases, by getting advance signals and preparing to deal with such disasters, the amount of human life and loss can be reduced to some extent. But what should people do when they are infected by a sudden outbreak of the virus and the whole city turns into a zombie and only a handful of them witness the whole event alive? That is what is shown in the movie Alive.

Like every day, Joon Woo’s (Yoo Ah In) day starts with playing computer games. Suddenly, through game partners, he learns that a virus has spread in the city. Huge changes in the surrounding environment in moments. Everyone is turning into zombies. What will he do? No mobile network, no internet. He has no idea if anyone around is alive. Although he was able to survive in his home for some time due to his intelligence, he decided to commit suicide as he was fed up with the food and water crisis. When he reached the second stage of suicide, he discovered that there was a survivor in the house opposite his house. After 20 days, he regained his strong will to see someone alive. The two begin their struggle to escape the zombie-infected city together.

Character discussion:
(Yoo Ah In) Joon Woo: Personally I’ve never seen any of his work before so I won’t say anything about the quality of his acting. However, I like his adventurous performance here.

(Park Shin Hye) Yoo Bin: This girl known as Korean Mehzabin may not be liked by many because of her extra crying. But you will be impressed to see her strong acting in this movie. His action scenes were even better than the movie’s mail lead.

Peninsula VS Alive: Two Korean zombie movies will be released in a few days. There was already a lot of excitement about this. Especially with Peninsula. It was made in the sequel of Train To Busan so the excitement was a little too much. But, I was really disappointed to see it. Among the many reasons zombie screentime is low it is a big reason. In my opinion, Proper Zombie Screentime, Action, Zombie Makeup are all Alive Perfect. Although Peninsula is moving towards success. Released on July 15, it has grossed ৬ 26.9 million at the Peninsula box office, while Alive has grossed 13.2 million at the box office since June 24. However, I will put Alive ahead in the plot, cast, acting, action of the movie.

This is a must watch movie for zombie lovers. Those who are frustrated with Peninsula should check it out earlier. For now, you can get the movie on Facebook with English subtitles in good resolution.
Happy watching !! 🖤
