zombie stage where the show never ends. the infected have lost their sense of self, so the “you” no longer exists or perhaps slowly wilts away. if there is no self, and the body persists in an undead state, you are not truly alive, yet neither can you die. there is no “death”

Feeling so sick. I cant speak actually... the way they took her. On the thingy. The way she's been exposed, exploited, abuse. Please. Zombie stage is far worse.
My heart stopped
STORY BREAKDOWN FOR EPISODE ONE:
mizi and sua grew up together, studying to be k-pop idols (similar to an early alien stage concept.)
mizi got succesful while sua didn't, and mizi was forced down a path of sexualization and substance abuse.
sua called attention to her spiral and they had a falling out. directly after that falling out mizi got infected.
sua was working in the zombie stage (it seems) and they captured mizi. sua recognized mizi and infected herself to be with her on stage, leading to sua's loss AGAIN.

im ill actually this was so well executed like in a horror movie *riiiiiiight* before everything goes wrong. reminds me of the scene in train to busan where they get on the train and see the zombies just as the train leaves the station
no one is talking about how sua hugging mizi here reminded mizi of her MOTHER???? HUGGING HER AFTER SHE HIT HER???? OR PERHAPS CURRENT MIZI HUGGING HER PAST SELF????
mizis outfit being so revealing, her seemingly unable to do anything but smile in zombie form, and the fact that we literally cannot make eye contact with her is a very in your face depiction of the objectification of female idols (also seen in the buildup of her career)
// Zombie Stage spoilers
Seeing Mizi's spark actively dimming the more time she spent in the entertainment industry is genuinely such a gut-wrenching watch. They turned her into someone so far-removed from her usual self that not even Sua could recognize her anymore :(
The last shot of MiziSua being a colorful shot of their kiss, and the black and white audience of disgusting men blushing at them, meanwhile Hyuna another (implied queer) woman is disgusted because of the objectification oh godddd
