** The team advance from car 9 to 13 is full of amazing action, but the way the move past car 14 deserves a special mention too: having learn that the infected attack on sight and passage through tunnels disorient them, they use this knowledge to try and sneak past them. Except there are too many of them, blocking the corridor, so what can they do? Pass ''above'' them, of course, using the space reserved for luggage. Oh, but a luggage blocks their way: even better, they throw it to make noise so that the infected will follow it and clear the corridor. This leads to all of them but Seok-woo and the homeless man managing to leave the car in the ''two minutes'' of dark they have (keep in mind that the team includes a pregnant woman, an elderly woman and a child), and even Seok-woo and the homeless man aren't discovered, but manage to hide enough, and if it wasn't for the soda can on the ground they would have been able to make a run for it without issues. And even with the noise allerting the infested, they still manage to make it and would have made it to safety, had Young-suk not rallied the passengers against them.


Added DiffLines:

* The train conductor deserves a mention for his sheer dedication to bring the others to safety. After finding the tracks blocked, he just ventures looking for another train, but not before telling the survivors where to go to find him, so that they will have a chance. And after finding one and getting it running, he leaves when he sees one of the survivors struggling against the infected, to help him get on the train. Too bad said survivor is Young-suk, and he doesn't repay the kindness leaving the conductor to die.

* Seok-woo, carrying Soo-An when the zombies first begin attacking and running through train cars has a person change right ahead of him. Rather than slowing down, he shoulder checks the zombie and keeps going.
* Sang-hwa is full of these, being the {{Determinator}} PapaWolf that he is. Absolutely '''''nothing''''' is stopping him from getting to his pregnant wife and their unborn child. The first time he encounters a zombie, he knocks it down with his fists. Just when Soo-An is about to be attacked from behind by a zombie, Sang-hwa elbow strikes him.

* Sang-hwa, Seok-woo, and Young-guk are in train car nine like the page picture, and their loved ones are in car thirteen and car fifteen is the safe one. What follows is a short montage of the three men wrapping their arms in tape and belts to hide their fleshy forearms, preparing to fight their way through.
** Seok-woo and Young-guk are armed with a baton and riot shield combo, and baseball bat, respectively. Sang-hwa's weapon of choice? His bare fists. When a zombie makes the mistake of biting his tape-wrapped forearms, Sang-hwa simply uses the momentum to slam the idiot ''into the train ceiling.''
** Not to discount the other two. Sang-hwa is a tank wall of meat, the other are a scrawny fund manager and teenager. They still make it to train car fifteen. This also marks Seok-Woo's shift from a father who can barely show up to his daughter's recital on time into a full-on PapaWolf.
