They were kidnapped, sedated, sent to a really weird place, after the MC GETS RUN OVER BY A LITERAL CAR, so they logically start coming up with a plan to escape since it could be really dangerou- uhh why they taking off their- WOW OMG WAIT THEY ARE F*CKING?????

encountered some kind of weird cult,

killed hundreds of them by themselves with a poorly-made explosion

BOMB THE ENTIRE KOREA ? ? ? ?

not even with all the world's support possible would they be able to rebuild all of Korea and reestablish themselves economically that easily.

when they were leaving the apartment at the beginning and the encounter with the first zombie (before the apocalypse actually began).

one of them died in less than 2 chapters lol

how COINCIDENTALLY the sisters took archery lessons and are perfect at it. Both of them. They can hit headshots with ancient bows. In a single attempt. In moving targets.

And when the ML finds a sword. Guess what. Yes, he knows how to use it like a professional, because, GUESS WHAT... YES HE ALSO TOOK CLASSES.

The population not respecting the authorities, thinking it's fake and going out into the streets (COVID vibes) was very well thought out.

The way the news became increasingly alarming as time passed: starting with the helicopter crash, then bear attacks, then several victims of that bear, the internet going down to contain the chaos, the detection of the virus itself, and finally the declaration of a state of emergency.

Had this misfortune been the result of wrongdoing, they might have accepted it as just punishment or at least felt regret. But it was a mistake born out of good intentions, and that made it all the more unjust.

"If I were still a soldier, I'd probably give up everything to help them. But I'm not a soldier anymore-I'm Taebaek's partner. You're more precious to me than anyone else. Even if they die of unavoidable circumstances, as long as you live, that's all that matters. Harden your heart."

"Hyung..."

"So I hope you, too, can become a bit selfish. At least until we get to Mokpo, put your safety above all else... please."

Taebaek glanced at Shinhoo and then looked back at the road. A slight smile crept onto his face. It was surprising how just a few words from Shinhoo eased. his restless heart.

Shinhoo was simply extraordinary; Taebaek didn't need to step in. When he did try to take the initiative, he worried about causing trouble. After all, he had only ever studied economics and business, skills that were useless in this world.

Shinhoo looked intently at Taebaek, then gently stroked his handsome cheek.

"Taebaek-ah

"Yes."

"No matter what you do, you're lovable."

"...."

"Even if you sat here and cried like a five-year-old, saying you're too scared to go on and begging for a piggyback ride, I'd still think you were adorable."

"... Really?"

"Of course. It's not just you who really, really likes me, right? I really, really like you too. So why would you worry?"

Don't worry about needless things. Shinhoo pulled Taebaek's hand and kissed his cheek, smiling bashfully. Taebaek gazed at him, spellbound.

That simple, beautiful promise to survive and meet again... (happy ending btw)

also had to roll my eyes at the cliche of the MC being the cure for the virus

First of all MC (shou) is 32 years old retired special military officer and ML (gong) is a NICE chaebol.

In relationship and otherwise daily life MC is more mature than ML who is like a younger brother sometimes and sometimes a scared and lost puppy.

The main thing I dislike is how author executed the action part of story.

MC was called by his former senior to reprt back to army as the only way to stay alive still when people were told to stay at home and gov will solve everything. MC followed those arrangments and stayed and ml's house despite knowing how grim the situation was.

1. 1. Even if you believe in gov you should know that despite your compliance with gov other General public won't comply. Situation was bound to escalate from beginning yet they stayed at home for demise.

1. 1. Then nobody came to meet them even from the same building? Why? Aren't people scared? Why aren't they trying to gather with other people so that in time of need they can have some assurance or maybe use others as meat shield?

1. 1. One of the most absurd thing.
      Four days passed
      And then

      Four more days passed while they were in there penthouse. No that's not how it happens You are asking me to believe that nobody contacted them and nobody attacked them????

1. 1. When gov announced that they have abandoned Korean peninsula and MC and ML decided to leave for safety in the morning. They only encountered a family while leaving at start after that they were alone and encountered no one? No matter what there should be people somewhere scared or traveling, running away from Zombies but it's like they are the only people alive in the whole city.
   2. But I really love how romance was executed

1. 1. It's 3.8/5 for me.

Our ML is only wounded on his leg (not by the mukbos) and our MC turns out to be--surprise! Immune to the mukbos, because of some medicine or whatever experimental drug that he got injected with while he was in the special forces.

the delusional church cult that worshipped the mukbos and sacrificed people to them.

MC was OP from the very beginning even with few weapons, while ML, although level 1 (lol) had TONS of guns and even a sword. As mentioned, he levels up on the fighting front after initially being queasy about the mukbos. And thereafter they were both massively OP lol.

while I can believe ML fell in love that easily with his attractive bodyguard who's just so good at saving him and keeping him safe all the time, I'm not wholly convinced at the shift in MC's feelings. It felt a little too sudden for me, and the cheesiness that followed once they've confirmed their feelings made me pause reading for a little while because I just couldn't believe it lol. I continued once I've learned to suspend my disbelief.

ML dealing with PTSD (taken too lightly in my opinion), vaccine scare, our leads being too cheesy with each other (cringey, but whatever lol), using drugs during s*x (freaky and nasty as one reviewer said), and them living a somewhat normal life after the ordeal.

Even at the end when our MC was bitten, I didn't care if the save would be cliche or unreasonable, I just wanted him to survive, and he did; with a reasonable reason too, that signalled how much thought the author put into the connecting plot.
