Several characters die in Season 1 of 'All of Us Are Dead.'
Comprised of 12 episodes, Season 1 of All of Us Are Dead arrived on Netflix on Jan. 28, 2022. It turned out to be an instant hit among those familiar with Joo Dong-Geun's webtoon, Now at Our School (Jigeum Woori Hakkyoneun), on which the series is based.
The series captures the zombification and consequent death of several teenagers, including Cheong-san.
Lee Cheong-san's chemistry with Nam On-jo in 'All of Us Are Dead' impressed many fans.
Cheong-san's will-they-won't-they predicament with Nam On-jo has had quite the impact on fans. Season 1 explores the evolution of Cheong-san's relationship with his closest friends, Lee Su-hyeok (Park Solomon), Han Gyeong-su (Ham Sung-min), and others.
At one point, On-jo (Victoria Grace) even confesses her interest in Su-hyeok — which indicates that she likely won't have much of a future with Cheong-san. At the end of the series, however, she gives Cheong-san her nametag. The gesture implies that they could have explored the prospect of dating was it not for the bloodied finale.
Does Cheong-san die in 'All of Us Are Dead?'
Several characters pass away in All of Us Are Dead, including Nam So Ju (Jeon Bae-soo), who bravely sacrifices his life to save his daughter, and Jang Woo-jin (Sang Sang-yeon).
Resident baddie Yoon Gwi Nam (In-soo Yoo), gets infected and possibly dies in the military bombing — though some fans seem to believe he might get resurrected just in time for an (at this stage, hypothetical) Season 2.
The same goes for Cheong-san, who quite possibly died in the explosion. However, Cheong-san had a several close brushes with death in Season 1 of All of Us Are Dead. While some fans believe that he loses his life in the explosion, others are less certain.
"I wish I had known that On-jo is the main character before watching, because I've watched it thinking Cheong-san is the main character, so nothing bad will happen to him, but ..." tweeted @kdramastan14.
"I was getting sad over how Gwi-nam really took his revenge ... so we lost Cheong-san, and how he died just because of that roach. But we can't forget the fact that Cheong-san is the reason why those last few students made it alive. He is truly the hero," tweeted @tokyosnana.
Season 1 of All of Us Are Dead is available on Netflix now.
