Coupang Play’s Newtopia is dominating as the No.1 series, and Episode 3 has taken the hype to another level! With intense zombie fights, non-stop action, and emotional moments between Jaeyoon (Park Jung Min) and Youngjoo (Jisoo), fans are now demanding more episodes per week!

The drama follows soldier Jaeyoon and his girlfriend Youngjoo as they fight to reunite while navigating a zombie-infested Seoul.

In the latest episode, Jaeyoon’s team and Youngjoo’s group go all out in their battle against zombies, using creative survival tactics. Jaeyoon barely escapes and reaches a rooftop military base, only to witness his close friend Chef Jung (Park Kwang Jae) turn into a zombie, making the situation even more intense. Armed with a scraper, guns, and even using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s guillotine choke technique, Jaeyoon fights for his life, but with his teammates turning one by one, the tension skyrockets. As food supplies run low and communication cuts off, even trained soldiers are trembling in fear!

Meanwhile, Youngjoo and her group face pure terror when zombies storm the police station they thought was safe. With Jinwook (Kang Young Seok) and Alex (Lee Hak Joo) by her side, she navigates the dangerous streets of Gangnam, determined to reach Jaeyoon’s tower. Alex’s decision to stick with her adds an extra layer of anticipation for fans rooting for their survival.

Despite being apart, Jaeyoon and Youngjoo manage to reconnect through text. The moment Jaeyoon reads Youngjoo’s message saying she’s on her way, he bursts into tears—completely breaking viewers’ hearts. On the other hand, Youngjoo, hiding in an LP bar, stumbles upon a cassette tape of Yoon Jong Shin’s song, bringing back sweet college memories of her time with Jaeyoon. This touching scene has fans desperately hoping for their reunion!

With so much suspense and emotional storytelling, Newtopia fans are buzzing online:

• "WHY only one episode per week?! This is torture!"
• "The chemistry between Park Jung Min and Jisoo is amazing!"
• "Zombie rom-com with heart? I’m here for it!"
• "It’s gory but still lighthearted—love this balance!"
• "Coupang Play, please give us two episodes per week! We can’t wait any longer!"

With each episode raising the stakes, fans can’t wait to see if Jaeyoon and Youngjoo will survive and reunite. Newtopia releases a new episode every Friday at 8 PM KST on Coupang Play—but viewers are already begging for more.
