Just finished watching Newtopia and I’m trying to figure out how to review it. First of all, I’m a fan of BLACKPINK, so that definitely added to how much I was drawn to the series. At the same time, I love zombie movies and shows. I’ve watched almost all of them, seriously, so I think my opinion is still pretty balanced. When it comes to the story, I felt like something was missing at the beginning. It didn’t fully pull me in right away. But that’s okay because they really delivered on the comedy-horror vibe. I found myself laughing in every single episode. I knew Jisoo had a funny side, but I didn’t expect it to be this hilarious. One thing I really appreciated was the acting. I wasn’t familiar with the cast aside from Jisoo, but everyone did a great job. The ratings aren’t bad, but compared to other popular zombie K-dramas, they might seem a bit low. Still, it’s understandable. The show has room to grow, and I think they’re off to a good start. Honestly, I watched this because of Jisoo, but I ended up loving the scenes with the military boys. They were so funny and fun to watch. I especially liked Aaron Park and Jaeyoon. Jisoo’s scenes were also enjoyable, but I was kind of disappointed that Jinwook didn’t die from a zombie. A stampede? That caught me off guard. And Alex dying that early? I really didn’t expect that either. I thought Jinwook would go first. The plot was full of surprises. I also wish they had shown more scenes with the couple. They’re a big part of the story and definitely deserved more screen time together. Overall, I really liked Newtopia. I’m hoping for a second season. Yes, I’m serious, I need a Season 2. There’s so much more they can do with this story. If you’re looking for a sign to watch it, this is it. 🧟‍♀️🎀
