'All of Us are Dead' cast has mixed views on the subs vs dubs debate

In a recent interview with NetShark, the four prominent cast members of the show, Yoon Chan-young, Park Ji-hoo, Choi Yi-hyun, and Park Solomon, sat down to discuss the show’s immense popularity.

Among other discussion topics, the talented young actors also opened up about what they thought was the best way to watch the show - subtitles or the dubbed version.

Park Solomon, who plays school student Soo Hyuk, took a neutral stance in the discussion. He said,

"No matter how you watch it, the series will be fun."

However, the actor, who is currently a heartthrob for many, encouraged viewers to rewatch the show in its original language with subtitles.

"I think watching it in our nation’s Korean has particular language and cultural aspects that you may enjoy. So, I think it would also be great to turn on subtitles and watch our performance in Korean."

Choi Yi-hyun also agreed with her co-actors views while complimenting the voice actors who lent their voice to the show’s English version. Despite that, Choi Yi-hyun also recommenced watching All of Us are Dead in the original to understand the actors’ performances better.

"I can confidentially say that watching our raw performance will allow you to have a much better experience. I would recommend watching the series in its original language. We were there and feeling the emotions like it was really happening and filmed with a lot of focus, and all that went into each pant and breath."

Complimenting the voice artist once again, the Hospital Playlist actor firmly stated,

"I believe we were able to perform those much better."
