For example, we cast a pair of real-life siblings, who were supposed to look after each other, but when faced with danger they didn’t care for each other much at all.” Park adds: “We deliberately chose contestants who were similar to the clichés in zombie movies, but in unscripted situations their actions surprised us. Park and his producer-director partner Moon Sang Don ( Hey! First Time in Korea?) might have set up the individual challenges but say they were surprised by how the contestants reacted. In lighter moments between fighting off flesh-eating foes, the contestants tease and jibe with each other as they figure out the best strategies to survive. There are plenty of jump cut moments of shock and horror, but unlike most scripted zombie shows, there’s also a lot of humor. We don’t have a lot of close-ups, because that would make it feel like a movie or drama, but you can see in the wide shots that the reactions of the contestants are real.” “What makes it different to scripted drama is the realistic expressions of the contestants and the conflicts and dilemmas that arise. “Korea already has a huge range of variety shows, and we’ve also seen a lot of zombie-themed scripted drama series and movies, so we thought it would be fun to bring them together – at least we knew the infrastructure was there,” the show’s creative producer Park Jin Kyung ( My Little Television) tells Deadline.
