Last week, the Coupang Play series "Newtopia," featuring a fast-paced and entertaining full-fledged zombie action, garnered explosive reactions as it released the trailer and stills for episode 7, raising anticipation to its peak.
The Coupang Play series "Newtopia" follows the story of soldier Jae-yoon and his girlfriend Young-joo racing toward each other across a Seoul city center besieged by zombies.
The released trailer for episode 7 features the surviving group of "Jae-yoon" (Park Jeong-min) as they attempt to escape from A Tower. The group discovers a gondola hanging from the building's exterior and tries to escape to the ground. However, the gondola they were on shakes violently as if about to fall, and a shocking incident occurs when "Jae-yoon," who was retreating back inside the tower, plunges along with the gondola.
With a chainsaw in hand, "Young-joo" (Ji-soo) rides a speedy electric scooter, cutting through zombies, presenting a zestful scene that contrasts sharply with the chaotic, zombie-filled express bus terminal. As they face a long-awaited emotional reunion, the narrative tension escalates when "Jae-yoon" suddenly transforms into a zombie, heightening curiosity about how their story will unfold.
The stills released alongside it draw attention to their faces, faced with greater and more intense dangers. The confrontation between "Gye-young" (Boon Chan-wook), who grabs him by the collar, and "Gyeong-sik" (Kim Jeong-jin), who aims a gun at him, showcases even "Gyeong-sik," who had been quietly navigating crises, losing control in a sudden situation.
Finally, "Young-joo" gathers her will to run without giving up while watching heartfelt moments she had shared with "Jae-yoon." However, surrounded by mysterious men, she finds herself in a threatening situation, raising curiosity about the story that lies ahead for her.
Offering endless fun and exhilarating thrills, the Coupang Play series "Newtopia" receives overwhelming acclaim as it releases one episode every Friday at 8 p.m. on Coupang Play.
