All of Us Are Dead creator wasn't entirely happy with Netflix adaptation
Webtoon creator Joo Dong-geun said he was "80 per cent satisfied" with the adaptation.
It's been well over two years since the release of acclaimed South Korean zombie series All of Us Are Dead, but as season 2 gets nearer to its release on Netflix, the creator of the original webtoon on which the show is based has given his thoughts.
Like the webtoon before it, the series centres around group of students who find themselves trapped in a high school during a zombie apocalypse.
Speaking with Deadline, webtoon creator Joo Dong-geun was asked what he thought of the Netflix adaptation, who which he said: "I am 80 per cent satisfied with the Netflix series. Some of my favourite parts include the library and cafeteria scenes.
"However, I felt that some of the best parts of the webtoon didn’t make it into the series. For example, the archery club had a much bigger and more significant role in the webtoon compared to the series."
Joo also spoke with the publication about his own involvement in the development of Season 2, revealing he had had little input thus far.
He said: "I’m ready to help them if they ask me, but they have their own team. I don’t really go out of my way trying to help them, but I’m ready if they call me.

"If there’s an opportunity, I would also like to go and see the film set."
