iaria+ Sae-bom just immediately telling the apartments representative that she was the one in the picture heh.
+ I liked how both Yi-hyun and Sae-bom noticed the bloody cuff on the husband but their reactions were so different. Yi-hyun was cautious, he left and did background and research first and then got a witness to confirm that there was something wrong. Sae-bom meanwhile immediately confronted the husband and then forced her way into the apartment, lol.
+ Sae-bom opening the bathroom door made me sigh so hard. Reckless indeed. If the wife was having a conscious moment then she would have likely answered in some way when Sae-bom was talking to her. The silence was the warning and instead of opening the door she should have called the police (or well Tae-seok).
+ I liked Yi-hyun and Sae-bom concern for the infected and them both caring about them and how they're being treated. They still see them as people who deserve the best effort from those around them to save them. It's maybe a little naive in a zombie apocolypse but it's nice.
+ Honestly I see both sides. I'm not sure if there is a better way to handle the heavily infected. Tae-seok kept them in separate rooms until they got to a point where they aren't reactive as people any more and became only a constant danger. What is the better way to deal with that? Especially considering they don't have unlimited man power. At the same time I was like 'tell the fucking public the truth!'
+ Episode 3 was the episode of questionable decisions and had me side-eyeing all the characters.
Tae-seok - I am seriously questioning his and the governments handling of this whole outbreak situation. The show keeps bringing up Covid19 and thus you would assume they might have learned how to deal with an outbreak situation and yet instead we have then playing deny deny deny for the first three episodes. When there's the start of an outbreak getting ahead of it is super important! This is absolutely a situation where you need decisive leadership which Tae-seok seemed to be and yet. Considering how it's spreading across many different countries denying it just seems dumb.
Then on top of that when they finally confirmed the disease Tae-seok had nothing to say about the drug and it's potential as a cause. WTH??? Sure, you don't want to start a panic but panic is going to happen regardless as things get worse and not telling people the cause is simply going to create more cases by unsuspecting people taking the pills.
Sae-bom - WTF!!? Her solution to being locked in the bathroom with a zombie being to let it out was a little mind-boggling. Yes, in a normal zombie situation sure good choice but in this situation I was left going wtf. She had her phone. She heard the husband calling the police. She was safe(ish) in the shower and not currently under attack with the wife almost docile. And yet she choose murder? Yes, the husband did try to kill her by shoving her into the room but I don't think that's a good reason on her part to try and murder him in return? Plus what if he did exactly what ended up happening and he ran away letting the wife out of the apartment and loose on unsuspecting people?
Yi-hyun - punching asshole husband neighbour in the stomach. I was very confused when he did it because whyy? Did I miss a line of conversation with Sae-bom where she told him about the attempted murder? But then later it made sense - he was reacting out of anger because he knew the man had murdered his wife. Which - no. That is not an appropriate response from a cop, get your shit together.
Asshole Murderer Husband - Dude, wth? Why would you, when caught with your dead wife, attempt to kill the person who caught you and then immediately turn around and call the police. I mean he has the perfect excuse for being caught with a dead wife - Mad Human Disease, so just go with it! What exactly does the attempted murder accomplish? And then to immediately call the police afterwards? Without even waiting to confirm that said nosy neighbour is actually dead??? Idiot.
+ I felt for the old lady when she was just ignored and talked down by her family. It was sad. Even everyone not being receptive to her religious proselytizing made me feel a little for her because she was trying to help and was ignored. Despite my deep annoyance with the husband I also felt bad for him when he was having trouble with ordering and no one was willing to help. And it looked like he was actually getting his wife the burger she wanted too so maybe he isn't quite as much of an asshole as he seemed.
