Not a huge football fan? Join the club! If you, too, are looking for a non-sporty alternative to this weekend's big Super Bowl LIX telecast, how about a fresh Korean rom-com with a side of zombie apocalypse? The new Prime Video series Newtopia checks all of those genre-breaking boxes, with a starry cast led by K-pop royalty.
At the center of the highly anticipated fantasy-romance is Lee Jae-yoon (Park Jeong-min, of Deliver Us From Evil and Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet fame), a South Korean soldier who is self-conscious about starting his mandatory military conscription at a later age, and his girlfriend Kang Young-joo — played by singer-actress Jisoo, best known as a member of the world-famous girl group BLACKPINK — who he recently split with following an argument. However, when a mysterious outbreak starts sweeping through Seoul, the pair race across the zombie-laden metropolis to be together again.
