Not Just a Zombie Flick, It’s a Zombie Tearjerker
At the center of My Daughter Is a Zombie is a gut-wrenching yet charming story of a father trying to save his daughter who’s slowly turning into a zombie. Sounds tragic? It is—but not in the way you’d expect.

Jung Suk plays the heartbroken father, and Choi Yoo-ri steps into the role of Soo-ah, his teenage daughter infected by the zombie virus. As the virus spreads and the world pulls away, the father clings tighter, refusing to give up on the one person who matters the most.
This isn’t just a survival film—it’s a story of hope, bonding, and unconditional love, with a side of zombie-style chaos.
Teaser Vibes: Dark Warnings, Light Moments, and a Dance That Hits You Right in the Feels
The teaser kicks off with a spine-chilling announcement: “Do NOT engage with the infected.” Enter our lead, Jung Hwan, as he realizes his beloved daughter is now one of them.
There’s tension. There’s denial. There’s even a bittersweet joke as his mother Bam-soon says, “She’s just growing up, that’s all.” It’s teenage rebellion—but make it apocalyptic.
Then comes a twist of tenderness. The father remembers the old days—their father-daughter dance, the shared laughter—and uses that to power his next move: secret training to bring her back. Think Taken, but if Liam Neeson was fighting off zombies with nothing but dad vibes and blind faith.
That One Dialogue That Breaks You (In a Good Way)
And just when you think you’ve seen enough, the teaser hits you with a line that breaks your heart in half and stitches it back with hope. “Even if the whole world turns away from you… I won’t give up,” says Jung Hwan.
Cut to a hauntingly beautiful moment where his infected daughter asks, “Appa… can you wait for me just a little longer?”
His reply? Eyes welled with tears: “Of course. I’ll wait.”
Mic drop. Heart shatter. Soul stirred.
