Simply amazing

Hello,
First, I'd like to mention that this is my first time writing a review and second time watching a foreign movie.
The movie's plot is about a virus that breaks out in South Korea (obviously) whilst our main character and his daughter board a train to get to Busan, hence the movie name, so the daughter can see her mother.
In the first 25 minutes of the movie nothing of interest happens, but a few scenes that won't make you adjust your seating. Highlights are an infected girl entering the train and (presumably) the president giving a speech on national TV, trying to calm the citizens and telling them that there are no zombies, just aggressive/violent people + the introduction of a married couple.
Fast-forward, the train is now full of infected people and the train has to stop at Daejeon where they will be quarantined, but the train passengers are unaware, which made me confused why won't you tell them that they will be quarantined; I mean at leas they know they will be safe? Why would the train stop even that they did not see any military personnel. why wouldn't the conductor try to recontact the command center?
Anyhow, people re-board the train and several thrill and drama packed fights happen as the survivors are split onto 3 different cars and try to reunite.
Another interesting point for me here: when the husband of the pregnant wife was trying to hold close the door, why didn't anyone just try to cover it as they know the infected people would become passive after it? The husband ends up dead in a drama of sacrifice for the sake of his wife and other survivors. Moving on to the next scene after the rest of the survivors manage to regroup in the last car, they were despised by the other group and obeyed their request to leave, which was weird as they were the much stronger group + armed with bats + they just finished fighting like 20 infected people. You can clearly see the hate of Seok Woo when he looks at the COO of the railroad company (remember this scene).
The train later stops because of a blockage caused by containers even though I don't see a cargo train nearby. The conductor disembarks and tells other survivors to meet at the far left railroad.
The COO of the company again sacrifices another person (the conductor in this case) so he can survive.
Now, Seok Woo meets the COO on the locomotive but he is still scared and passive, and a very weak fight scene takes place which results in our hero putting his hand in the infected COO's mouth for some reason. Hero gets infected, sacrifices himself, his daughter lives along with the pregnant woman yay!
To put this short, Train to Busan put me in an amazing mood as I adore South Korea, but there many situations that I find weird, especially the COO fighting the father! That guy just made you lose your friends and is an egoist bastard, then he even tries to attack your daughter while he is infected, all that and all you can do is Ugh and Ahh?! Maybe I am not familiar with the South Korean culture and that they're peaceful by nature, but still the adrenaline rush would've helped.
Train to Busan literally feels like a trip through Korea and emotions for me even though you don't see much, but you don't feel like an outcast, you still feel heavily related to the characters and location, but I believe that the director could've made the death of Jin Hii more dramatic as they looked like an interesting couple. I appraise the fact that it wasn't an all pink everyone survives ending, you rarely see that these days.
I hope the sequel focuses more on the damage done to the cities and people, and makes you deeply related with 2 or 3 characters only instead of mildly interested in all of them.
