[Well-curated weekend] When you can’t get enough of zombie movies

If you’ve finished watching Netflix’s “All of Us Are Dead” and still feel like you need more, head over to the show’s pop-up area at the Shinsegae Department Store this weekend. Gangnam to Banpo-dong.

The pop-up area, which runs through Sunday, is inspired by the 12-episode series released on January 28. The area is open from noon to 9 p.m.

Since most of the Netflix show is filmed at a high school, the area has plenty of school-themed photo spots. One of the most popular locations has a typical Korean high school desk and chair and is similar to those used on the show.

Cardboard cutouts of student zombies are also set up here and there for photos.

Several blackboards are set up for visitors to write names or short messages on. Actress Lee Yoo-mi, who played Na-yeon in the series, took photos at the location and posted them to her Instagram on January 28.

There is also a section where you can play games that have been created based on the show. In one of the most popular games, zombies appear on a giant screen and players have to hit a pad in front of the screen with a bat to kill the zombie.

Visitors can also take home “We are all dead” themed products displayed in a special cabinet.
