Lots of action

Warning: Spoilers
In this South Korean movie, directed by Soo Sung Lee, the people of Seoul's wealthy Gangnam district are under attack by a quickly expanding zombie population. In order to protect these citizens, a former taekwondo expert by the name of Hyeon-seok (Ji Il-joo) battles past his injuries and takes on the undead.

What can you say about a movie that starts with a cat attack being the origin of a zombie assault, as the first undead emerges from the water in Gangnam and starts devouring raw meat?

Hyeon-seok goes from working an office job at a streaming company and an unrequited love for Min-jeong (Park Ji-yeon) to being the hero who saves her from the undead. Blame their boss Tae-soo, who keeps his staff there and thinks that by filming the zombie attack, he can finally make some money.

This is a high energy blast of walking dead insanity, all set inside a mall -- shouldn't most zombies be filmed there? -- and even having some ideas I've never seen before, such as zombies with dentures being unable to transfer the disease.
