According to Soompi, director Lee Jae Gyoo was overwhelmed and "truly can't believe all the love it has received from so many countries around the world."
With this, he expressed his deep gratitude to the viewers and to the "actors and staff who devoted themselves to this project for two years."

"However, you might get the feeling that the show is different from the original as far as the specific situations that happen to some of the kids as well as what each of the characters are like."
With the massive hype and success of the 12-part episode series, several fans are curious and, at the same time, looking forward to whether "All of Us Are Dead" will have a sequel.
Unfortunately, Netflix has no official statement on this yet as the possibility for a second season seems to be early for them to decide.
