14 ‘The Neighbor Zombie’ (2009)
Directors: Jang Yoon-jung, Oh Young-doo, Ryu Hoon
The Neighbor Zombie begins when the hard but tranquil lives of the Seoul residents have been disrupted by a virus that has the ability to infect the entire world. They then need to fight back and find other ways to survive if they want to restore everything to normal.
The Neighbor Zombie debuted in South Korea in 2009, the same year that the US released Zombieland starring Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg. As a result, it has a quite similar American approach. The Korean counterpart, on the other hand, is considerably grimmer and more sincere. The Neighbor Zombie has a considerable appreciation for the painful and utterly humiliating experience of seeing the collapse of society.

9 ‘Doomsday Book’ (2012)
Directors: Kim Jee-woon, Yim Pil-sung
Doomsday Book is an anthology film that tells three distinct sci-fi stories. The themes include genuine human compassion as well as sarcastic depictions of human devastation in the contemporary high-tech world. The film’s opening chapter, «A Brave New World,» is a political parody of a zombie virus that follows a geeky scientist and his sister causing the population to transform into flesh-eating zombies after consuming poisonous meat.
The movie is praised for its deft use of the zombie outbreak to satirically critique both human nature and a political landmark in South Korea. Doomsday Book is a film that is worth watching even if it isn’t an apparent zombie entry since it goes beyond what zombies are capable of and how well humans can survive them.

While defending his realm from the horrible plague, he gets caught in the middle of a political power struggle that threatens to overthrow him.
Kingdom deeply and subtly delves into the question of class conflict and social interests. The action sequences are also masterfully staged and will easily satisfy even the most discerning television watcher. Once you’re done with the series, be sure to watch «Kingdom: Ashin of the North,» a special episode of the series that explores the backstory of the plague.

11 ‘Rampant’ (2018)
Director: Kim Sung-hoon
Rampant follows Lee Chung (Hun Bin), the Prince of Joseon, who the powerful Qing family kidnaps to appoint him as the next Crown Prince. An invasion of horrific nocturnal zombies threatens to devastate the entire region as Lee Chung spars with Joseon Minister of War, Kim Ja-Joon.
Rampant is another idea that aims to breathe new life into a popular genre but has fallen into obscurity. Blending these creatures with the Asian epic action movie style and altering a few rules results in a film packed with adrenaline, stunning visuals, and stock characters in a fascinating plot.

While earning conflicting reviews regarding whether it is a worthy successor to the 2016 picture, Peninsula is still a fun and enjoyable action zombie movie. It is also a celebration of all that is admirable about people and the value of their lives.
