Neutopia reviews: Jiju and parks bring a fresh twist to the zombie apocalypse in Geeta-Min Nutopia. Set in the post-epocalliptic seoul, the series focuses on love and humor between chaos.
This is already Valentine’s Week! While K-draamas are prone to you feel single, a new zombie drama here is to introduce a light-hearted action thriller with a dash of romance. Co-written by the parasite’s Han Jin-Von, neutopia is about the post-epocalliptical-hit seoul, where a pre-ripple reinforces to save your people, (possibly?) To save your relationships in this process For.
Story Lee Ja -un (Park Jeong-Min), a soldier posted in Seoul’s tallest building and Kang Young-Ju (JISOO), is his long-term girlfriend, who has just started a new job. Their relationship already stressed by J -un’s military service is more tested when suggested to Young-Ju that they take a break. Unfortunately, their personal conflicts take a backseat when an epidemic turns people into a corpse, throwing Seoul into chaos. Separating from the crisis, both will have to navigate the dead city, while it is revealed whether their relationship has to be carried forward or move forward.
What neutopia creates between its contemporaries, it is that it does not rely on a clung survival plot to instigate the response. The central plot is still dirty to fulfill the realities of humor, feelings and love. While the show facilitates its proper part of zombie foggy, action is often secondary for comedic elements. Humor is largely stems from the reactions of the characters to their serious conditions, especially J-Yun and their fellow soldiers.
While J -un and his Comrade Ra In-Jae continuously provide comic relief, before struggling with their duties as two Bambling soldiers, Young-Ju’s natural reaction for outbreak and crisis Their desire to help inside highlight humor that seems more organic. They say! “Comedy is a lie in the tragedy”.
However, at its core, neutopia is a love story against the background of a zombie apocalypse. The chemistry between Ju and Young-Ju is central for the appeal of the show. However, we have not shared them a screen space together for flashbacks. Therefore, at this point, it is almost impossible for you to root root as a couple.
While the first episode takes time to determine its time, the love story is not yet to find a solid foundation. However, their relationship snatched away with misunderstandings, missed calls, and well -intentions but at a bad time, makes his story feel real and reliable.
The screenplay creates a careful balance between acute moments and laughter-out humor, originally transition into absurd existence scenarios with emotional interaction.
The park brings a delightful mixture of honesty and humor attraction to Jyong-Min, known for its versatility, which makes him a cute yet defective hero. Jisoo growth as an actor since Snowdrop appears to be very high. He is impressive in his parts, as support artists raise the overall show. She portrays the emotional struggles of youth-Ju with honesty, making her character’s dilemmas real.
Unlike traditional zombie plays, which focus on survival horror, neutopia considers its dead opponents as more obstacles for romantic and humor development of characters rather than primary hazards. While there are intense moments, the corpse is often painted in such a way that increases humor rather than increasing fear. Their presence is important for conspiracy, but true attention is on how people react to anarchy rather than terror.
Neutopia is a refreshing on both romantic comedy and zombie styles. It prioritizes humor and human connections on the sheer horror, making it an ideal option for those who enjoy character-driven stories with dosage of action.
If you are looking for a zombie chain with heart, humor and a love story at its core, then neutopia is definitely worth a watch.
The review is based on the first two episodes. The new episodes will be on prime videos every Friday.
