In an exclusive interview with E Daily, All of Us Are Dead director Lee Jae Kyoo thanked the audience, the cast, and the staff for the love and support.
"It’s unbelievable how much love and support the show has been getting worldwide and I’m so grateful. I know this will mean a lot to the cast and staff who dedicated themselves to making this show happen over the past two years.
The original webtoon artist Joo Dong Geun and I agreed to make All of Us Are Dead as zombie-filled as zombie shows get. I hope the episodes capture that direction we decided to take. There is a bit of pressure being the first show to kick off Netflix’s streak of Korean contents in 2022. But I had a blast working on this, so I can only hope that the audience can, too, see the passion and effort that went into the production." — Lee Jae Kyoo
