Historical K-drama Kingdom (2019) is Netflix's first original Korean-language series, which paved the way for Squid Game, All of Us Are Dead, and many more K-dramas.

While you wait for All of Us Are Dead Season 2, this historical apocalyptic K-drama is a perfect watch, as it is set in the Joseon period. While most zombie apocalypse series are set in the present or near future, Kingdom is set in a historical period, making it a unique K-drama.

The K-drama is set in a fictional medieval-inspired Joseon, where the kingdom is being threatened by political conflicts and a mysterious plague that is turning people into zombies.

2) Happiness

Happiness is the perfect zombie apocalypse K-drama to binge-watch while you wait for All of Us Are Dead Season 2. Contrary to its name, this Netflix K-drama follows a near-future Seoul, amid a worldwide pandemic known as the Lytta virus aka the mad person virus.

Yoon Sae-bom, a Special Operation Unit police squad member, encounters a person infected with the mad person disease, which is creating havoc worldwide. Some early symptoms of the virus involve an insatiable thirst for human blood, which eventually turns a person mad.

The general paranoia and how the country is starting to turn into bloodthirsty zombies is one of the most intriguing parts of this K-drama. It was also termed as a 'sleeper hit' upon its global release in April 2022.
