Is it really the zombies and the repulsive bully

Forget Zombies, Teenagers Are the Real Villain in All of Us Are Dead, Here’s Why

When Lee Jae Kyu was creating the megahit show, All of Us Are Dead, with writer
Kim Nam Soo, we bet he did not know that he would end up making the teenagers
the villain of the story. The makers did give us a villain, Yoon Gwi Nam, and
the zombies but if you take a closer look at it, you will see cracks appearing. 

The undead creatures are terrifying but what is more terrifying is the cruelty
of the teenagers. The show gives us a peek into the human’s primal instincts in
desperate situations.  


LEARNED HELPLESSNESS IN THE BULLIED OF ALL OF US ARE DEAD 

In psychology, learned helplessness
[https://www.britannica.com/science/learned-helplessness] refers to victims of
abuse or bullying who submit themselves to physical violence and consider it a
part of their lives. The victims stop blaming the bullies and start blaming
themselves and usually end up committing suicide to end the pain.

We see this happen to the science teacher’s son, who was being heavily bullied

In a bid to keep his son from taking his own life the science teacher ended up
making a virus that ends up eliminating the entire city’s population. 

In the first episode, the bullies force a girl to strip while they film her
topless. Another guy intervenes, but the girl refuses to leave, fearing the
worst. Soon after, we see her standing on the parapet meaning to kill herself.

KILLING A LOW BORN

The most toxic girls award goes to Lee Na Yeon, who turns a boy into a zombie
simply to prove the other students wrong. She despises him for belonging to a
lower-class family and called him a “Welfie”—someone who is on the government
subsidy program. Despite being an elite, the students seem to side with the
Welfie which rubs her in the wrong way. 


LEAVING FRIENDS TO DIE 

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

A boy tries to save the girl from committing suicide, telling her that he loves
her. But he refuses to accompany her when she wants to find the phone, which has
her naked video footage in that zombie-ridden school. 

When her friend trips, and a zombie attacks, a girl gives up on her friendship
to save herself first. Nevertheless, she didn’t meet a good end.
