Netflix's horrifying new zombie series All of Us Are Dead is quickly climbing the trending charts across the world and now fans have noticed a very familiar face from another smash hit show.

One of the students trapped at the school is Lee Na-yeon (played by Lee Yoo-mi), a privileged and spoilt teen who looks down on her peers from different backgrounds and constantly complains.
She berates and insults Han Gyeong-su (played by Ham Sung-min) by calling him a "welfie", a derogatory term for someone on welfare support.
Fans of the frightening zombie series have recognised Lee Yoo-mi from Squid Game and the characters the actress played in both shows are now being compared because they couldn't be more different.
The 27-year-old actress starred in Squid Game as Ji-yeong, player number 240. Her character features heavily in the marble game which took place in episode six, in which the players must choose a partner and create their own game using marbles.
Ji-yeong, aka player 240, forms a pair with Kang Sae-byeok, player 067, and she reveals she grew up in an abusive household and killed her father after he murdered her mother.
In a tragic twist, Ji-yeong sacrifices herself so Sae-byeok could survive to find her long lost brother.
Her death left viewers completely heartbroken but after watching Lee Na-yeon in All of Us Are Dead fans can't believe how different both of her characters are.
Ji-yeong bravely sacrificed herself, whereas Lee Na-yeon killed Han Gyeong-su by purposely infecting him by treating a scratch on his hand with her handkerchief which she cunningly wiped on a weapon the teens used to kill a zombie.
“I love her savage acting," one fan wrote on Twitter.
Another viewer tweeted: “It's the way I didn’t even realise they were the same person until later”.
A third person shared: “I knew she looked familiar”.
And a fourth chimed in with: "The power she holds over Korean Netflix”.
Reacting to Lee Na-yeon killing her classmate in cold blood. “I don’t think I’ve ever hated a character more than her," they said.
Similarly, another All of Us Are Dead viewer said: “I tried to defend her but she made it so hard.”
And someone else added: “In Squid Game we were crying for her. In All of Us Are Dead we are cursing her”.
The power of acting!
