Yun Sae Bom is a special agent with quick wits and reflexes and another special quality. She earns the opportunity to move into a new apartment set aside for civil servants in a coveted apartment complex by pretending to marry high school friend Jung I Hyeon. I Hyeon is a detective investigating the spread of a mysterious disease. They are trapped in their apartment building when Han Tae Seok, head of the task force to control the spread of the disease, orders the complex to be sealed off from the rest of the city. Quarantine and disease reveal a social caste system, bringing out the best and worst of the apartment residents. A high school becomes ground zero for a zombie virus outbreak. Trapped students must fight their way out — or turn into one of the rabid infected. It is a drama that depicts the process of a soldier, Jae Yun, and his girlfriend, Yeong Ju, who have just been notified of a breakout, fighting against hordes of zombies and running toward each other, set in an air defense unit in a high-rise building in Seoul. Jae Yun enlisted in the military at the late age of 26 while seeking alternative service through employment in the defense industry. Anxious about his future, he becomes obsessed with his girlfriend, eventually breaks up with her, and faces a world turned upside down by hordes of zombies. He was weak and lacked confidence, but as he fought the zombie outbreak, he gradually began to act as the leader of the squad. Yeong Ju is a rubber rookie who is new to society and is having a hard time with Jae Yun, who does not understand her feelings before being notified of their breakup. As she sets out to meet her boyfriend, she discovers a zombie outbreak and gradually becomes stronger in the fight for survival.

Day 7 Revenge

There are many Korean great Revenge drama's and my pick is My Name aka 마이 네임 (2021). It has a turn that I knew was xoming but not at that moment.

For Chinese my pick is Scent of Time aka 为有暗香来 (2023). Great way to display guilt and growth.
