Who Will Be The New Villain In ‘All Of Us Are Dead Season 2’?

Summary

The Korean zombie drama ‘All of Us Are Dead’ was a global success that boast of having an interesting plot line as well as most character developments. Now that season 2 is confirmed fans are already trying to solve the puzzle of what they need to expect. Fans are excited to know about the new villain in all of us are dead season 2. Among these, one heartbreaking theory stands out: Sure, our favorite Cheong-san, who died in the first season and saved the others, might become a new antagonist.

Cheong-san's Fate: A Mystery Wrapped in Clues

Also in the climax of Season 1, an unexpected lament of a hero was Cheong-san who was depicted to have died in an explosion. However, the fans have been in raptures about his possible survival. 

Three compelling clues fuel this theory:

The Hambie Bite: In Episode 11, Cheong-san got bitten by Gwi-nam, an asymptomatic zombie or, as the apocalyptic survivors call them, a “hambie.” This means that Cheong-san might have become a hambie himself in order to be endowed with special skills in surviving.

No Body Found: Whereas On-jo could see Cheong-san wearing a name tag with ashes all over it, the main character and Gwi-nam’s dead bodies were not depicted, so there is a doubt.

Season 2 Announcement: Yoon Chan-young, who portrays Cheong-san, appeared in the Netflix promo video for Part 2. This gives a very strong indication of his coming back but not in a way that the fans would want him back.

Could Cheong-san become a  new villain?

If Cheong-san survived and became a hambie, then his return was going take a sad twist. Hambies, which have been presented in Season 1, are being humans but half of them are actually zombies with preserved conscience but incontrollable desire to attack. 

Nam-ra, Another hambie, also is uncontrollable and becomes almost violent to her friend.

Although turning Cheong-san into a hambie might initially portray him as a powerful individual who could possible turn against those he was protecting. While Nam-ra had a few months to get used to her new life and the role of someone else, Cheong-san might not have nearly as much say in the matter. 

It also made him dangerous at times, as he fought to keep his zombie side from taking over and caused him to become the movie’s villain.

Hambies: The Wild Cards of Season 2

Hambies were strategic elements of All of Us Are Dead Season 1, and their place might expand in the sequel. Nam-ra’s strength against the virus turned out to act as a representations of a hope for change and ending but her adventure portrayed the various risks that are associated with being a hambie. 

Her experience of facing On-jo and Su-hyeok showed how it can possess Even if the intention is good.

In any case, if Cheong-san also turns out like Nam-ra’s type then it means that there will be extremely emotional strain. His conflict in the cases of protecting friends yet battling what is in his nature would deepen the principal character and form the basis for the enhanced and more unforeseeable story.

Some Consequences of Cheong-san’s Coming Back

In case Cheong-san becomes a villain in All of Us Are Dead Season 2, everything shifts radically. 

The group would face tough decisions: should they attempt to revive him, or would they need to end it in order to stay alive ?

In any case, the fact that Cheong-san does not become a full-fledged villain and his transformation into a “hambie” might disrupt the group. On-jo, most especially, might be caught in the middle of this situation. My wife would like to assist her friend from childhood but on the other hand confront this man whom she used to know and now he is something else.

A Marginally Dark Perspective on an Heroic Selflessness

The scene of Cheong-san’s passing was one of the most powerful moments from Season 1. Bringing him back without doing so would potentially cheapen that and detract from the power of what he did. Though, to resurrect him as a deep-thinking, painfully tormented individual would justice to his arc while providing a new facet of drama.

This twist would also tie into the overarching theme of All of Us Are Dead; the instability of being alive. The Jonas virus has been about as much about the feelings that people get as it is about the metamorphoses.

Cheong-san’s fiery temper and unwavering determination, which made him a compelling hero, could become his downfall under the virus’s influence.

Nam-ra’s Role in Cheong-san’s Redemption

Nam-ra could fill a major role is Cheong-san’s arc if the latter comes back as a hambie. Since she had faced some of the struggles of being a hambie she would be able to coach him back to getting some sort of control.

Nam-ra’s gradual changes and relationships with other hambies, as well as her growth might bring hope to Cheong-san even though he comes back with mixed feelings.

A Bittersweet Return

Whatever turn Cheong-san takes – whether he becomes a proper villain or a grey anti-hero – his return will be polarizing. The relationships forged at Season 1 particularly, between Cheong-san and On-jo are going to be tested as never before.

Our fictional show proposition of Season 2 of All of Us Are Dead will be the boost of zombie dramas to the next level. For the fans who have not been sure about the destiny of Cheong-san, there will be an interesting and touching continuation of this story.
