Meet the Characters That Made All of Us Are Dead as Interesting as It Is

With its popularity growing wildly, All of Us Are Dead and its characters is
certainly set to leave a mark upon fans for quite some time now. Given the rich
characterization and the emotional intensity of the film, it is no surprise that
fans love the characters and root for them to survive the zombie apocalypse. So,
here we are, decoding each of the main characters in the show.


NAM ON-JO

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16945

The majority of the plot of All of Us Are Dead surrounds Nam On-Jo and her
survival tactics that get her and her friends out of sticky situations more than
once. Her bond with Chan-young definitely adds more depth to this character.
Additionally, we watch another aspect of her life that makes On-Jo a more
intriguing character to viewers: her family. Her father’s dedication to save his
daughter really makes the plot infinitely more intense.


LEE CHEONG-SAN

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16948

Guinevere had Lancelot, Juliet had Romeo, Cleopatra had Antony and On-Jo has
Cheong-San. The duo and their effortless synergy are what led to them being
saved for so long, both inside and out of the school. Although it hasn’t been
long since the show was released, Cheong-San has stayed a fan-favorite and it is
no surprise!


LEE SU-HYEOK

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16950

Hyosan High doesn’t only have soft students like Cheong-San. The quota for
athletic students who keep the fight going was filled by Park Solomon
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-all-of-us-are-dead-cast/]‘s Lee
Su-Hyeok. Although he used to be the average teenage drama bully, Su-Hyeok
turned himself around and gave the audiences another character they can adore as
he continues to fight the undead.


CHOI NAM-RA

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16952

What’s a K-Drama without a cold yet fascinating character? People of the country
seem to have a thing for this trope, and we’re not complaining! Academically
superior to all of her classmates, viewers can easily see why she never got
along with any of them.

JANG HA-RI

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16953

It wasn’t just the athletic male that saved the students from the zombies. In
fact, a female archer named Jang Ha-Ri, played by Ha Seung-Ri, does most of the
action on the screen. Leading her group of archer friends against the zombies,
Ha-Ri proved herself to be remarkably useful as the arrows kept piercing the
undead.


YOON GWI-NAM

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16955

Adding more depth to the Netflix Original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/], the creators of All of Us Are
Dead decided that only the zombies weren’t enough for antagonists. Yoon Gwi-Nam
serves as a primary antagonist who doesn’t hesitate to bully his classmates. In
a show where each character is fighting not only for their own lives but also
working hard to save their friends and family, Gwi-Nam manages to stand out by
doing unimaginable things to save himself. He ensures his ends are being met
even if it comes with the cost of sacrificing others.

SONG JAE-IK

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16956

The detective of the Hyosan Police Station is a key character in All of Us Are
Dead [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/all-of-us-are-dead/]. He, along with his
department, deals with the zombie outbreak. In an era where we mostly see police
officers slacking off or staying ignorant, it was refreshing to watch Jae-Ik and
the lengths he would go to in order to ensure the citizens’ safety.


NAM SO-JU

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/?attachment_id=16957

Portraying a father’s love and sacrifice for his child is Nam So-Ju, On-Jo’s
father. While we have seen many selfless characters through the course of the
series, So-Ju and his sacrifice to rescue his daughter and her schoolmates is
the most harrowing yet engaging plotline of the show.
