No.1 "Zombie Campus"
When the classmates and teachers around you turn into monsters with big mouths and bite everyone in sight, how do you survive? How a group of young high school students choose between love, friendship and family ties in the haze of doomsday.
"Zombie School" is a relatively novel zombie movie in recent years. As soon as it went online, it quickly occupied the top of the hot charts. "Zombie School" uses campus bullying as an entry point. It tells the story of high school science teacher Li Bingcan who developed a new virus in order to protect his son Jin Zhexiu who had been bullied on campus for a long time and injected it into his son's body, thus triggering a zombie chaos. And the story of a group of high school students who relied on their own strength to escape when the virus was raging across the city. The wonderful thing about
is that this drama is not just a zombie drama, but also incorporates various sensitive social issues including campus bullying, pregnancy out of wedlock, the gap between rich and poor, etc. When watching the protagonist team fight monsters and upgrade, it can also trigger thinking about various cruel social phenomena.
No.2 "Squid Game"
Would you kill the friends around you for 45.6 billion Korean won ? The play tells the story of 456 players with different backgrounds but who are also deeply in debt, participating in a series of deadly children's games for a prize of 45.6 billion. This drama unexpectedly links cruel elements such as bloody violence and tests of humanity with innocent children's games one after another, forming a sharp contrast, making the adult world look even more unbearable and ugly.
The wonderful thing about this play is not the various cruel games, but the fact that it makes the viewers ask themselves after watching the play: Have we forgotten something important as a human being? When blinded by immediate interests, where is a person's morality and bottom line? Will people really be happy if they get these things in this way?
No.3 "The Border Breaker of the Land of Today"/"Alice in the Land of Dying"
I prefer the translation of "Alice in the Land of the Dying" to "The Border Breaker of the Land of Today". What would happen if Alice fell not into Wonderland, but into Purgatory, the outer shell of Wonderland? There are many film and television dramas with the same theme, but this one is really impressive and eye-catching.
The protagonists, who were originally unhappy with their lives, accidentally fell into the deserted streets of Tokyo. They initially thought it was a utopia escaping from reality, but they did not expect that it was a purgatory on earth that was more cruel and direct than reality. Friends around him died one after another because of game failures. The protagonist had to become stronger and pass through one cruel level after another to find the meaning of his own existence in this familiar yet unfamiliar country.
As we follow the protagonist to search for secrets one after another, and find the meaning of our existence bit by bit, while reflecting reality, we seem to be able to slowly gain some courage to face reality from the drama.
No.4 "Sweet Home"
There is a monster in everyone's heart, a monster called desire. If it were you, would you choose to defeat it, let it control you, or make peace with the monster in your heart?
A pessimistic and desperate young man, on the day he wanted to commit suicide, the whole world changed drastically. The "monsters" derived from human inner desires eventually devour humans themselves and replace them. This drama tells the story of how this young man who has no nostalgia for the world puts aside the panic of reality and joins other residents to fight monsters and fight for survival.
The above are the four most popular desperate survival dramas in recent years that the editor recommends. Which one do you like more? Or do you have any better recommendations? Welcome to leave messages and exchanges in the comment area [yeah]
