This zombie thriller drama will follow the journey of a soldier named ‘Jae Yoon’ (reportedly offered to Park Jung Min), who breaks up with his girlfriend ‘Young Joo’ (reportedly to be played by Jisoo). ‘Young Joo’, who has been sheltered for most of her life, is recovering from heartbreak and is eager to experience the world. She wants to reunite with her ex-boyfriend, but her plans are derailed when she encounters a zombie, forcing her to undergo a significant transformation as she fights for her survival.
Meanwhile, ‘Jae Yoon’, a 26-year-old male, is searching for employment in the defence field. He clung to his fiancée out of fear about his future but ultimately decided to end their relationship. Despite his doubts and insecurities, when faced with a zombie attack, ‘Jae Yoon’ takes charge and leads his platoon in the fight for their survival during the apocalypse.
