Viewers of Netflix's hit zombie series 'All Of Us Are Dead' say it dredges up painful memories of one of Korea's deadliest ferry disasters

• Korean-language zombie series 'All Of Us Are Dead' is Netflix's most popular show right now.

Some of the show's details have also been singled out on social media for appearing to pay homage to the ferry disaster.
