More focused on the characters

Unlike other zombie movies that I have watched, #Alive doesn't focus so much on the actual zombies. This movie's main focus is on the characters, especially Joon Woo since he's actually the only character we know of for a period of time. This makes the movie boring if you're more of an action interested person, but interesting if you focus the most on character personalities. It also doesn't focus on what caused the outbreak, nor on finding the cure. It's almost as if it's trying to teach us how to survive if something similar happens.

Even though I've seen people hate on Park Shin Hye, which I feel like is unjustified. Both her and Yoo Ah In did a great job portraying the main characters. And the main characters aren't portrayed as this kind of superhumans that live without struggles, we see them struggle multiple times, and that's what makes them better.

The zombies, even though not shown as much as in other movies, were equally as scary as the ones in Train To Busan. But that's really the only thing that is similar between these two movies. If you're comparing the two, don't. If you want to watch this because you're expecting something like Train To Busan, maybe you shouldn't watch it because this movie is nothing like that.
