Cha Eun Woo is literally the perfect actor to represent Mr. Jin. Like for real.

I don't like zombie stories but this is so interesting!!
I'm definitely not reading this at night, gosh. The artwork is so glamour-y and unsettling at the same time.

It's phenomenal how the story is developing!
I went into this novel expecting romance, and when the initial episodes panned out, I wasn't sure what to expect out of it.
Honestly it felt like a repetitive plot, especially based on how Chaerin was so hell bent to follow along the plotline of the novel, without any other thought. She just wanted to save Jeha and that was most definitely annoying. But then came the extra unknown and boy did i love how the story unfurled from there!
It was amazing to see Chaerin realize that in this time of crisis, it wasn't romance that she had to pay attention to, but rather herself and people who wanted to continue living. Her developing friendship with her former bullies... was a little uncomfortable at start but when it's a do or die situation, you can hardly pay attention to past animosities.
And the best part? Realizing how the soul is the will to be happy. It was extremely beautiful how her friends regained their souls and decided to escape this repeating hell with Chaerin. And Kudos to Chaerin for NOT GIVING UP, FOR NOT SURRENDERING TO A FATE THAT WASN'T DECIDED BY HER, AND FOR SETTING UP HER OWN STANDARDS FOR SURVIVAL.
I absolutely love me some friendship stories

Yess!! I do wanna know more about what the extras are thinking about and yayy to more memories resurfacing. Let's defeat Chaerin Eun (OG) and the devil.
Honestly though, I do feel bad for OG Chaerin, especially the fact how she herself wants to maintain her will and soul, but she can't do that unless she finds someone to replace her. That's a terrible play by the devil :(

Immersive till the end! Absolutely loved the concept, the art, and the message at the end. I can't believe after reading 1-2 episodes and seeing the zombies, I was close to giving up on this series.
Guess my willpower to see a happy ending pushed me till the end, and made it possible for the devil's defeat

Well, That Was Unexpected by Jesse Q. Sutanto

It’s always so awesome to read books centered around Asian households and navigating through the family dynamics and mother-daughter relationships. Family and societal values, as terrifying as they may sound, are supremely integral part of being an Asian. To the extent, that it’s nothing short of a crime if your relatives don’t know about the happenings of your life and you do something which will be most definitely scrutinized by the public eye. It’s likely your family will not have a personal problem with whatever you do with your life, but they’ll be concerned “how it will look in front of the society”. Now, it looks like it’s a terrible way of living, but… it’s quite alright. Family is family.
And that’s what “Well, that was unexpected” talks about. There are two essential dynamics about the book: a) the relationship of Sharlot with her mom and how George navigates through his family being “too much” and always in the public scrutiny; and b) how first impression shouldn’t be misinterpreted as last impression. Perceptions change and it’s likely the person you thought you knew was behind a mask all this time (for the better or worse… luckily it was for the better here).
Now, I wouldn’t lie… I was cynical about Sharlot a bit in the beginning. I have strong opinions about anyone who refers to Third World countries as… being helpless. Especially anyone who comes from the West -.- So, I treaded the book carefully but it was actually quite relieving to see Sharlot agreeing to her assumptions and white washed eyes to look at the emerging or developing economies. After all, as much as one would want, white washed lenses are inseparable, even if you have grown up in an Asian country. I am really glad that the author took this story arc and how the character development was brought about. Same goes for the dynamics between Sharlot and her mom.
Coming to George and Sharlot, they are a cute bunch I give you that. And George’s family is delightful as well! I am really on my way to read Dial A for Aunties.
