The Netflix original series "All of Us Are Dead" was a huge success and continues to be a public conversation. In a recent interview, the cast and crew revealed which scenes brought tears to their eyes.
"All of Us Are Dead" which was released on January 28, 2022 is a Netflix original series that tells the story of students who are trapped in a school after a zombie virus outbreak begins to spread. They must stay together to survive while waiting to be saved.
Despite the gruesome and brutal storyline, the essence of this series turns out to be much more than that. Throughout the drama, the small details in each episode have drawn attention to the storytelling.
If netizens feel emotional watching "All of Us Are Dead," it's not surprising because some of the moments are so touching and heart-wrenching. There was even one scene that made the cast, director and scriptwriter cry.
In a recent interview with director Lee Jae Kyoo and the cast, they revealed some of the TMIs from the drama and their experiences while filming.
During the video, the cast talks about each scene, and there is one that brings back a lot of emotional memories for them.
In the first episode, Nam On Jo (Park Ji Hu) gave Lee Su Hyeok (Lomon) his nametag. Although the players agreed that it wasn't something that happened often, the scene was necessary for plot development.
In particular, director Lee Jae Kyoo explained that the scene was almost a spoiler for the next episode and that the nametag has an emotional meaning that netizens should be aware of. "It's kind of a spoiler, but there's a sad scene about the nametag," said the director.
The scene in question is when Lee Cheong San (Yoon Chan Young) gives On Jo's nametag and says, "Take care of it." That was before Cheong San sacrificed himself for the safety of his friends.
According to the cast, everyone was very emotional while watching the scene. The director cried while filming it, and even the writer cried when he made the scene on paper.
Writer Chun Sung Il explained how important the scene was to him, as it was the perfect way to describe the moment of contrast between students.
Chun Sung Il said, "In the best of times and the worst of relationships come to play. Who do we want to share the sadness with? That's why I focused on their relationship. I think that's an important element of this drama.
Even the director explained the importance of this scene to remind the audience that they are just students facing an unprecedented situation.
"In zombie movies, people try hard to survive. Survival is important, but how you live is more important. So, you have to think about existence rather than just survival," said the director.
The scene is a reminder of the drama's core message, which is more than just students becoming zombies. That's what makes "All of Us Are Dead" so popular. (wk/chus)
