Like in dramas, I actually sprayed my drink across my monitor when "Almost Paradise" played; this drama doesn't do meta halfway, for sure! The fight with the boar got me cracking up so bad, and that last screenshot is somewhat sad but I can't help LOLling again.

The whole umbrella scene when Moo-young told Sun-ji to not look until she counted to 100 is just swoony. Yes, he's a zombie, but totally won't fault you for getting flutters (and keep losing thread on your counting), Sun-ji ^^

Thought we'll get the suspicious 'witness' being cryptic for a few more eps, but show actually let us know he's a bad egg already, yay for speedy plot development. Guess our zombie was some kind of bodyguard for little So-ri? Am thinking fake witness might not be the one who put the bullets through Moo-young, cause he doesn't seem to be surprised in the you're-back-from-the-dead-! way when he saw Moo-young.

I love the Mortal Kombat-type scene including a computer-animated boar (Metowaeji) where the battle that defeated by Moo-young the zombie took place. I saw the logo belongs to Kpop boyband Infinite.

In my another interesting note, Lee Tae-kyun was belong to Sun-ji family (see https://asianwiki.com/Zombie_Detective under "Sun-ji's family"). His family where he belonged to this had rarely used the different surnames (other surnames are Sun-young and Joon-woo) and I think it was the funniest family despite of the different surnames.

This is the 2020 drama i didnt know i needed. it's weird and whacky and everything i need to get out of my own head for a while

This show is delivering all the laughs! I actually like the fact that the actors are going all the way to look ridiculously funny. While CJH is superb here but i must also commend the FL.. PJH, she had no qualms looking completely unglamorous esp with that boxing outfit. Even the drunk make-up is so unusually unappealing, but realistic. Normally you see female leads who are supposed to be drunk and yet still look without any single hair out of place and still beautifully made-up.

I was kinda disapointed they didn't use The Heirs's OST Love is the Moment because Choi Jin Hyuk was Lee Min Ho's big bro. But I love all the references I can see : Mr Sunshine, Love Actually, Boys over Flowers, etc.

There was a BTS video with Samuel Hammington's son scared by Choi Jin Hyuk's make up :D

ALMOST PARAADISE~~

I lost it at that scene where he imagines his life like a Chaebol. I need to see the outtakes from this drama! I really hope they release something online, it seems like such a fun environment on set!

I was expecting the mystery to be far more complicated, I think our zombie was the bodyguard for Soo-ri and he was killed trying to protect her or he witnessed her murder?,
I'm assuming the little girl is dead but then why would he continue keep the mother alive?

They have got to let the brother in law meet the zombie, he is trying so hard! Let him make a blockbuster film, he's so pitiful to watch.

I laughed so hard when Gopchang (tripe) was served. They played Dae Jang Geum's Onara (A Jewel in the Palace)!

This drama is so so so funny. It will be a cult classic drama for sure!
Choi Jin-hyuk is amaaaazing!
I really hope he will be nominated and won KBS drama awards best actor in mini series for this role.

i LOVE this!

I had found the Sun-ji annoying, but she got a whole lot better after finding out Moo-young is a zombie. She became funny and even sort of endearing. I rewatched several times that scene of her dressing up in all that gear to ask him for her share of the reward money and freaking out after the appendix removal, worried about her other organs. The side characters are also endearing.

That missing-heir/makjang scenario that Moo-young envisioned was brilliant. Usually, such a scene would last half a minute just to give you a funny glimpse of the what-if scenario. But this went on and on with multiple scenes and background music changes to give us 4 minutes of straight LOL.

I am worried about Moo-young's appetite getting hungrier...

Thanks for recapping (or is is wee capping) this show @missvictrix. So many times I have to replay a scene over because I've laughed so much and my head gets thrown back.
They are surely having so much fun with all the meta and not taking themselves seriously.
The part that really killed me though was when she asked "do you go to the bathroom? Have you ever used a bidet?"
Love the BIL who is totally into zombies - maybe he will make a movie with a real zombie! Her sister is still a bit over the top but the son is adorable.
Can't figure out the two across the street but I'm curious how they are going to be woven into the story later on.

This show will be fun to rewatch when it's all done just so I can enjoy CJH all over again.

I lost it at "Makjangs are bad for your health" asdklfjasfj this drama is great with humor. I'm pleased with how it's keeping up the pace too- which is good because I think we're at the halfway point now

This has got to be one of funniest drama I have ever watched! Thanks for the wecaps and I agree that this drama plays with all the tropes but does it very well. I like that it doesn’t take its self to seriously, but at the same time has som serious moments. The twist at the end of ep 6 was interesting. I knew something felt off about our informant from the beginning. I too almost died with laughter at the fantasy sequence , that and the boar scene were the highlights for me.

I love this drama so much!
2020 just keeps on being shit but for two hours a week I get to escape :)

Guys, when it says "12 episodes" does that mean 12 hours? Or 12 half hours? Because I need more of this, please.

Having heard so much about "Almost Paradise" all over dramabeans, the Zombie Detective finally gave me a soundbite of it without having to suffer through the original series. Thank you, Zombie-nim!
One of my highlights was the scene when Zombie was eyeing Hodu the Dog/Snack, trying hard not to bite its head off, while poor Sun Ji thought he missed his family.
