In the show All of Us Are Dead, Choi Nam Ra (Choi Yi Hyun) is a class president with the best school grades, while Lee Na Yeon (Lee Yoo Mi) is a selfish and arrogant student who comes from an affluent family. As the students find a safe place in school to hide from zombies and make collective efforts to protect their friends, Lee Na Yeon wrongly accuses one of her classmates, Han Gyeong Su, of being infected just because of a small scratch.
Choi Nam Ra reveals that Han Gyeong Su, who was not showing any symptoms earlier, ends up becoming the victim of Lee Na Yeon’s filthy plan. She unveils that Lee Na Yeon smeared zombie blood onto her handkerchief and used it to infect Han Gyeong Su's scratch later on. As a result, Gyeong Su sacrifices himself for the sake of his friends and throws himself out of the window.
Onjo's dad’s epic fighting sequences and painful death
As one of the protagonists of the show, Onjo (Park Ji Hu) is in danger at school, her father Nam So Ju risks his job and comes running to rescue his daughter. Nam So Ju is a firefighter and on his way to the school, he takes the weapons along with him. In fact, he uses high-pressure water to keep the zombies away for a while and then escapes successfully. After making so many efforts, he finally reaches the school ground and meets his daughter. Before he can spend some more time with Onjo, several zombies attack him and even in that moment, he continues to distract the monstrous creatures and asks Onjo and her friends to keep moving forward.
Choi Nam Ra gets bitten by infected student Yoon Gwi Nam
Yoon Gwi Nam (Yoo In Soo) is a bully and the worst happens when he gets bitten by a zombie. To everyone’s surprise, he somehow retains human consciousness despite getting infected.
Choi Nam Ra becomes Yoon Gwi Nam’s prey as he bites her while she tries to save her love interest Lee Su Hyeok (Choi Nam Ra’s love interest played by actor Lomon) during a fight.
Choi Na Ra does not turn into a zombie immediately. Instead, she is now a half-human and half-zombie as she develops the urge to feed on human flesh, but she can resist this temptation. She has heightened senses of hearing and smell and possesses superhuman strength, making her a threat to the rest of the group members who are doubtful of her transformation.

Lee Cheong San (Yoon Chan Young) is Onjo's neighbor and childhood friend. In episode 11, the military decides to wipe out the zombies from the affected areas by bombing the designated sites, including Hyosan School. The military carries out its mission, unaware of the fact that there could be some survivors left in the building.
In a violent brawl with antagonist Yoo Gwi Nam, Cheong San gets badly injured and also gets bitten. With the fear of turning into a zombie and putting an end to Yoo Gwi Nam’s brutality, he decides to leave his friends behind. Before doing that, he embraces Onjo and says an emotional goodbye. After that, he indulges in the final face-off with Yoon Gwi Nam, but unfortunately, both of them become the target of an explosion done by the military.
