“My Daughter Is a Zombie” (좀비딸) is a heartwarming Korean live-action film set to premiere in July 2025. Adapted from a popular webtoon—and following a well-received animated version—the movie tells a unique father-daughter story set in a post-zombie apocalypse world.
After a zombie virus wipes out the population, a devoted father, Jung Hwan (played by Jo Jung-suk), escapes with his daughter Soo Ah (Choi Yu-ri), the last zombie left on Earth. Instead of fearing her, he trains her in etiquette, self-control, and human habits to help her reintegrate into society. The film is comedic, emotional, and surprisingly wholesome—turning the zombie trope on its head.
