There was also no ambivalence about the characters - only one (maybe two) came out of it with any credit. The rest were all distasteful people, so you didn't really care when they died (spoiler alert). I watched it with the English dubbed on - I find subtitles distract the eyes from the action. Anyway, it's perfectly set up for a second series.
If you like Korean stuff, then I recommend Kingdom - a medieval zombie martial arts series on Netflix. Sounds weird, but they clearly spent a lot of money on it, and it shows. Make sure you watch the main series FIRST, and the prequel 'Kingdom - Ashin of the North' afterwards.
Also recommend two Korean zombie films (there's a theme developing here) called 'Train to Busan' and 'Train to Busan - Peninsular'.
Again - zombie martial arts, but this time in modern times.
