The upcoming film “My Daughter is a Zombie,” starring Jo Jung Suk, is gathering significant excitement online following the release of its 55-second teaser trailer. The comedy drama, based on a popular webtoon, is drawing attention for its unique blend of genres and its cast members’ strong resemblance to the original characters.
The film is a comedic drama about a devoted father who hides and trains his daughter, who is the last zombie on Earth. It offers a new take on the zombie genre by mixing family love, comedy, and human drama.
First Look at “My Daughter is a Zombie” Teaser
The recently released teaser quickly shows the film’s idea and makes a strong impression. It begins with Jo Jung Suk as the main character, Jung Hwan, comically acting like a zombie. A message in the teaser highlights Jo Jung Suk’s return this summer, which is already exciting moviegoers. The story, set in the seaside village of Eunbong-ri, shows a mix of warmth and humor as the father tries to “tame” his daughter.
Cast Members and Their Roles
Choi Yu Ri, known for her role as Michaela in “Dark Nuns,” plays the daughter, Soo Ah. She plays a zombie who naturally wants to bite people but learns manners, gymnastics, and dance through her father’s training. Choi Yu Ri handles the role with a mix of cuteness and fine details. Fans of the original webtoon will also be happy to see Soo Ah’s pet cat, Aeyongi, in the teaser.
Cho Yeo Jeong plays Yeon Hwa, Jung Hwan’s first love and someone who dislikes zombies. Her entrance with the line, “Any zombies I can kill around here?” suggests future conflict with Jung Hwan’s family. Yoon Kyung Ho plays Dong Bae, Jung Hwan’s friend who fears zombies but is also reliable. He brings his usual down-to-earth comedic performance to the role.
Remarkable Character Resemblance

Webtoon fans have stated, “Lee Jung Eun is Bam Soon,” and “Has casting ever been this perfect?”
