Happiness

Contrary to its name, the zombie apocalypse Kdrama starring Han Hyo Joo (W: Two Worlds) and Park Hyung Sik (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon) is anything but. The series is set up in a post-pandemic Korea.

Be it humor, romance, and crazy action sequels, the 2021 Netflix Kdrama, ticks all the boxes. The screenplay of the drama is written by Park Jae Beom who is known for his work in The Fiery Priest.
