Finished "All of Us Are Dead"? These Top Korean Dramas!

When All of Us Are Dead hit Netflix, it gave us a mix of fear, chaos, and heartbreak. A high school turned into a zombie nightmare, and every episode kept you on edge. If you’ve finished it and still crave that same rush, here are 12 Korean dramas packed with danger, action, and emotional punch. They’re not all zombies, but they deliver the same heart-racing, can’t-look-away feeling.

1. Sweet Home

Based on a hit webtoon, Sweet Home traps a group of strangers inside an apartment building as people turn into terrifying monsters. The tension never lets up. But it’s not just about survival — it’s about hope, grief, and what makes us human.

2. Happiness

Imagine a deadly virus spreading inside a high-rise apartment complex. That’s Happiness. Park Hyung-sik and Han Hyo-joo shine as neighbors turned allies, fighting both the infected and human greed. If you loved the tight spaces and rising panic in All of Us Are Dead, this is a must-watch.

3. Kingdom

This Joseon-era zombie epic is breathtaking. Kingdom blends political intrigue with fast, vicious zombies. Crown Prince Lee Chang’s quest to save his people will leave you breathless. The mix of historical drama and horror is pure genius.

4. Train to Busan

Okay, not a drama — but you can’t skip it. This film follows passengers trapped on a speeding train as a zombie outbreak hits. Every minute is tense, every decision life or death. If you liked the emotional side of All of Us Are Dead, you’ll cry here too.

5. Duty After School

High school students are drafted into the military to fight mysterious alien creatures. The tone, the setting, and the young cast feel like a cousin to All of Us Are Dead, but with more sci-fi than zombies. The friendships and sacrifices will break you.

6. The Guest

Chaos doesn’t always come from monsters. In The Guest, a psychic, a priest, and a detective chase a powerful demon across Korea. It’s dark, creepy, and packed with twists. The suspense will keep your heart racing.

7. Hellbound

What if creatures from hell came to drag people away in public? That’s Hellbound. It’s part horror, part mystery, part social commentary. Like All of Us Are Dead, it asks how far humans will go when they’re scared.

8. Save Me

This thriller follows a young woman trapped in a cult, and a group of old friends trying to save her. There are no zombies, but the dread and tension match anything undead. It’s disturbing in the best way.

9. Strangers from Hell

A young man moves into a creepy apartment building, only to find the neighbors aren’t what they seem. The slow, chilling tension builds until it’s unbearable. This one’s pure psychological chaos.

10. Dark Hole

Survivors fight for their lives when people inhale a mysterious black smoke that turns them into monsters. It’s gritty, messy, and nonstop danger — just how All of Us Are Dead fans like it.

11. My Name

For something without monsters but still with chaos, My Name delivers. Han So-hee plays a woman who joins a gang to avenge her father’s death, going undercover in the police force. Brutal fight scenes and raw emotion keep the adrenaline high.

12. Zombie Detective

Need something lighter after all that darkness? Zombie Detective is a comedy twist on the genre. A zombie tries to blend in as a private investigator while solving crimes. It’s a refreshing, strange ride — but still chaotic in its own way.

All of Us Are Dead wasn’t just about zombies. It was about trust, betrayal, and the will to survive when everything falls apart. These dramas — whether set in a high school, a palace, or a haunted apartment — keep that same energy. Some focus on monsters. Some focus on people being the real monsters. But all will keep you hooked from the first minute to the last.
