On Coupang Play
A romantic action-drama that uses zombie apocalypse as the crucible for a fractured relationship, balancing survival spectacle with intimate emotional stakes.
Jae-yoon, a late military enlistee, and his girlfriend, Young-joo, break up over the phone over growing misunderstandings. But a zombie outbreak rocks the world. A national emergency is declared, a plane crashes in the city center, and Jae-yoon and his unit get trapped on top of a Seoul skyscraper. Young-joo risks the zombie-filled streets to find him. Can their love survive the apocalypse?
