It's so funny! Bb cream > food

This show can actually make people look forward to Monday.

I wanted to watch this series based on that thumbnail! Looks like riot and fun XD

It is indeed a fun watch. I never expected to be laughing out loud at the antics. And the parodies are hard to miss too (bus to Busan as an example), which adds to the fun element.

This has got to be the funniest show I've seen in years. I was wheezing and howling the first half of the show. I loved the strings in the background, kind of like an old western, all lazy and laidback with a lot of silences.

The parts that made me laugh so hard are when he cracks his jaw open with that creaky sound effect, and his eyes...they're so huge and black-rimmed and filled with fear... they made me howl. The long convulated monologues he carries on with himself in his head..lol.

The best drama ever. CJH is brilliant. Everything about him is perfect. Almost died laughing when he staggered out into the world, after spending lord knows how long slapping his body with a ton of BB makeover cream. And the pasty-white sunblock...I am laughing again remembering the scene.

If this is anything like the movie Warm Bodies, I am so in.

Just finished the second episode. I feel really sorry for Mr. Zombie. He has had a really bad break along the way, and he has no control over his undead life. Some of the other characters are semi-interesting, but his story is the most riveting. Hopefully he can get some money, poor guy -- he can't buy make-up, food, nor pay the rent.

I am in!

CJH's voice suits so much his monologues, I love it!

He's funny but he still had "hunger" moments when he kills cute bunny and doesn't really remember it. So I hope, he will be able to find food for the sake of our heroine :p

I guess after The Last Empress and Rugal he must be happy that he finally gets a drama that wants to be funny from the start and not a serious one that ends up to be funny because of the bad writing.

I don’t know what possessed me to pick this up but it was hilarious!! And yes I can’t wait for the zombie romance shenanigans to begin

My favourite bit so far was the moment where Zombie is like “I’ll just knock that bird’s nest down” and then completely fails to throw even close 😂😂😂

HOW WILL I PAY FOR MY BB CREAM?!

This show is a hoot, I hope it maintains it.

I love love love this drama!
Choi Jin-hyuk is killing it!
I'm soooooo looking forward to Monday!

Gosh! Fake brands and a zombie in a wasteland scene added to my most hilarious and funniest scenes ever made.

“Is this what I look like if I lose weight?”

- The Last Empress reunion was soo funny! 😂
I hope they keep up the humor until the end.

This show is straight up hilarious. Definitely in for the ride (it's only 8 episodes, right?)

So happy show lives up to its trailer's promise to be unrestrainedly wacky! Am gleefully enjoying seeing things from our inexperienced zombie's perspective, that "I'm in a rush but why am I so slow?" and him crying over the 'victimised' zombie hordes in the movie cracked me up so bad!

The murder of the real Kim Moo-young in the midst of the funny made me gasp out loud, gotta love that noir moment when our zombie contemplated the evil way of humans. And bless whoever decided on fedora for an added touch of noir detectiveness, Choi Jin-hyuk looks so good in it...

And the BB Cream, is it a PPL? If yes, then that's just genius ><

I have never felt for a zombie the way I feel for zombie CJW. I just want his life (if you can call it that) to get better. A man's got to buy himself makeup. Best scenes for me were him dragging his feet realising he cant actually walk fast and that stellar dance cover that would put 2PM to shame. Definitely getting warm bodies feels. I wouldn't mind if theres no romance between the leads, they'll be good partners plus detective homeboy seems nice he can get the girl this time. Just get Zombienim his fresh a grade meat

Your recap give me Warm Bodies vibes, @missvictrix. I have not watched this--didn't plan to--but you have piqued my interest!

God this drama has made my year, so relieved that this is as funny as I hoped it would be. I actually ended up pausing the screen because I was laughing too hard.
Thank goodness that this drama is being recapped here!
CJH is so great in comedic roles and finally this character seems like something new! Hooray!

I did get a little confused because I thought he had killed the guy who ordered beef tripe, but they are rival detectives.

I'm not as interested in Sun-ji, her character is irritating but hopefully that will change as she and our zombie work on the case together.

I felt so sorry for the zombie, dancing to Heartbeat by 2pm after all that training and then he doesn't even get to eat!

"Zombie Detective just might be the most out-of-the-box drama that has premiered this year" - These words were true. That is, until School Nurse Files premiered. Now, that show is just bizarre.

Still, though, this show is so outrageous and so freakin funny, I can't. I'm finding the sad tragicomedy of his existence highly entertaining. As some have already mentioned, there's a spaghetti western vibe that gives a sort of dry delivery to all the gallows humor. I love it.

I do think Park Ju-hyun could be given a bit more to work with, but I am still liking her here.

I've been in bit of a dramafunk since Into the Ring ended and can only seem to enjoy shows that don't take themselves too seriously like this or rewatch old favorites right now (FoS2 is the obvious exception), so I'm very glad for this influx of zany shows. This one, in particular, is perfect for the spooky Halloween season!

THIS is why you always check new dramas with your fave actors in them no matter how outlandish they are! this is the best funniest show ever! it works so well (is that the director, the actors, the script, the make up )? it is ALL of it and MORE! i dare say i hate zombie shows but no more! i did watch Train to Busan with (because of) Gong Yoo too. this is true CRACK!

This show is HILARIOUS. The ahjumma pants. And that treadmilll scene/baseball scene is unfortunately SO me, and I don't have an excuse because I'm not undead.
The BB cream was a missed PPL opportunity, though. (unless that's an actual real brand and real endorser doing a parody of their real commercial, in which case it's brilliant.)

The concept of this drama has always reminded me of this character from One Punch Man, "Zombie Man". I suspect that is where the writer got his/her inspiration from..

rushing off but I managed to catch ep 1 or half of it (what´s an intact episode anyway in a zombie drama) and I already know I´m gonna like seeing the non-literal insides of a zombie mind!!! Finally a zombie is not just "something that runs and gets killed the end" but we see HIS side of the story.
but why did they blur the rabbit when I just saw a skinned rabbit in a korean cooking show not blurred...

I'm a bit bummed that so far no one in the comments has mentioned that the rival detective is being portrayed by the same actor who was pre-diet Choi Jin-hyuk's character in Empress.

"If I lose weight will I look like him?" made me carbonate my nasal passages.

I'm quite new with kdrama and the only Choi Jin hyuk's drama I watched was An Empress Dignity (which was actually funny, with his character's transformation 😂) .. but i never thought he can be this funny (that zombie rap 🤣🤣🤣) Its hillariously cute watching him trying to protect himself against humans. And his inner thoughts are golden 😂

The epic scene? His accidental meeting with Lee Sung-Rok and him thinking "Upclose he (CJH) looks pretty handsome. Is this what I'd look like if I lose weight?" 🤣🤣🤣
