Thanks to the likes of Kingdom, Alive, and All of Us Are Dead, Netflix has picked up some of the best zombie horrors of the past few years from South Korea. But is Happiness, the 2021 zombie series available to stream on Netflix? Yes, but you’ll only find the series streaming in a handful of countries around the world as of April 2022
Happiness is a South Korean zombie horror series written by Han Sang Woon, and directed by Ahn Gil Ho. Sang Woon is the screenwriter behind the Korean adaptation of The Good Wife, and director Ahn Gil Ho previously worked on WATCHER, Memories of the Alhambra, and Stranger.
The series is about special agent Yoon Sae Bom being given the opportunity to move into an apartment complex that is set aside for the use of civil servants, but to get an incredibly desirable apartment, she pretends to marry her high school friend Jung Yi Hyun.
Her “husband” is a detective currently investigating the area for a mysterious disease. Together, the pair become trapped within the apartment complex when the disease turns the living into flesh-eating zombies.
