January 16 Will Be A Great Day For All Of Us Are Dead Fans

In some great news for All Of Us Are Dead fans, one of the show’s stars, Lomon, has a new K-drama titled No Tail To Tell coming out on January 16, 2026. Netflix’s zombie drama All Of Us Are Dead remains one of the most underrated entries into the overstuffed genre.

More dramatic and tragic than Z Nation and more urgent than The Walking Dead, All Of Us Are Dead follows a group of students as they navigate the early days of a zombie apocalypse from inside their school. The K-drama has a handful of older characters, like Lee Kyu-hyung’s heroic detective Song Jae-ik and Kim Byung-chul’s villainous teacher Lee Byeong-chan.

However, the students are the focus of the show’s story. Every high school archetype is present, from the class president to the misunderstood outcast, to the privileged rich kid, to the dangerous juvenile delinquent. As Lee "Bare-su" Su-hyeok, rising star Lomon stands out in his role as a reformed former delinquent.

All Of Us Are Dead's Lomon Has A New K-Drama Coming Up

Luckily, viewers who want to see more of Lomon won’t need to wait until All Of Us Are Dead season 2’s release date for the Sweet Revenge star’s return. Lomon stars in the upcoming K-Drama No Tail To Tell, the story of a nine-tailed fox who becomes human against her will thanks to an encounter with Lomon’s Kang Si-yeol.

Kang Si-yeol is a football striker whose obsessive self-discipline and narcissistic traits alienate him from others, despite his undeniable generational talent. The Girl on a Bulldozer star Kim Hye-yoon plays Eun-ho, a gumiho that has lived for centuries and is perfectly content to remain a nine-tailed fox for eternity instead of becoming human.

When a chance encounter with Kang Si-yeol turns her into a human, Eun-ho must start dealing with uniquely human issues like morality and mortality thanks to the striker’s unexpected intervention. This sets up a story that blends fantasy, romance, comedy, and light-hearted character drama in an unpredictable plot based on traditional Korean mythology.

How No Tail To Tell Will Be Different From All Of Us Are Dead

Compared to Lomon’s breakout role in All Of Us Are Dead, No Tail To Tell sounds like a much lighter, more playful affair. Not only was Lee Su-hyeok’s character arc sad in season 1 of the series, but All of Us Are Dead season 2’s story promises to be even darker.

Since so many of season 1’s heroes didn’t survive to see the show’s second outing, the show’s long-awaited sophomore release will unavoidably feel bittersweet. All of Us Are Dead’s many character deaths made it a gripping drama, but the show was also one of the most brutal and uncompromising K-dramas ever.

Season 1 of the zombie series could rival Squid Games in its intensity, and season 2 is unlikely to be any lighter. In contrast, everything about No Tail To Tell looks and sounds a lot more light-hearted and fun. The show’s plot and promotional materials promise a more family-friendly, idealistic story, despite the obvious character flaws of both Eun-ho and Kang Si-Yeol.

Compared to All Of Us Are Dead, Squid Game, or Netflix’s superb K-drama The Glory, No Tail To Tell seems like it will be a welcome reprieve for K-drama fans who want something lighter from the genre. The show promises a steep learning curve for both its heroes, but little in the way of serious trauma.

In contrast, All Of Us Are Dead was notable precisely because the show’s first outing was so unremittingly bleak. Despite starring young adults, the series didn’t skimp on brutal character deaths, and its worst fates weren’t always doled out to villains who deserved these bloody ends. On the contrary, some of the show’s most likable stars met vicious, grisly deaths.

All Of Us Are Dead Season 2 Can Wrap Up A Great Year For Lomon

This means that No Tail To Tell can now illustrate a new side of Lomon for viewers, allowing the actor to showcase his range in a fun, goofier story. Meanwhile, the potential arrival of All Of Us Are Dead season 2 means that this won’t be the only 2026 project that fans of the actor have to look forward to.

Since All of Us Are Dead season 1 arrived way back in 2022, Lomon has enjoyed a hot streak as the star of a trio of thrillers. 2022’s Revenge of Others saw the actor star as the troubled teenage student Ji Soo-heon, while 2024’s Branding in Seongsu and the same year’s Family Matters both saw him return to this successful genre once again.

As such, No Tail To Tell represents a fun change of pace for the star. After so many dark roles in thrillers and horror shows, Lomon can show viewers a lighter side of his screen persona with this playful story of an amoral gumiho struggling with her newfound humanity.

Although the zombie show made him a star, No Tail To Tell proves Lomon has a versatile range as an actor. That said, viewers will still be thrilled to see All of Us Are Dead season 2’s arrival later in 2026.
