** Hari and Woo-jin's relationship in the show is only ever shown as being caring, with the occasional bickering over who protects who. He never shows resentment towards her over their parents' ParentalFavoritism. Here, there it's a lot more complicated, with them feeling quite disconnected with one another due to their different personalities. They eventually become estranged and stop talking for two months.

Added DiffLines:

* FantasticRacism: Captain Ahn makes it clear that he doesn't see Joon-yeong and Nam-ra as regular teenagers deserving of care during his argument with Kangdae, as they crave human flesh.

Added DiffLines:

* ManlyTears: Joon-yeong cries several times throughout the series. Most notably when his mother dies. Other notable instances include; When he has a nightmare about turning Woo-jn into a zombie, in the au where Soowi dies, when he overhears Captain Ahn talk about him and Namra like they're monsters, and after he has an anxiety attack upon meeting Eunji.
