Characters
Theme

Everything is amazing

We want at least 5 seasons !!! But Netflix has canclled shows like daredevil and punisher .... I wish someone else took this up .
Every single monsters is so detailed and so insane. I loved how they didn't show many things which the webtoon had, now they show it in the season 2. Amazing acting from Song Kang, Lee Shi Young, Lee Do Hyun and everyone. Everything single scene was a slay. One of the best Korean drama of 2020. Must watch! They way I panicked in every episode is very scary.

What I think

TBH it's not 10/10 or 9/10 it's more of an 8

Why? Episode 1-5 were a mess there wasn't much development in 1-5 there was some but not much. They could have fixed it and made it shorter.
Now 6-10 This is when things get exciting and interesting.
If you are to watch the show I say skim 1-5 and watch it 6 onwards

They haven't stuck to the webtoon for those asking they have changed the end alot
People who have died in webtoon lived. Those who died in the drama have lived in webtoon. Which is weird.
Which mean they are changing up everything and making it different. This means that making season 2 will take a while coz they don't have anything to copy from unless the writer has already written season 2.

But despite this I hope they have a better season 2! Most shows can't follow up with a great season 2 hopefully this one does.

Good Monster Movie Fun

This story is more about what it means to be human and to want to live than it is about the monsters exactly. In fact they act more like a metaphor.
Some of the special effects are amazing, some are a little campy. Most monsters are well designed but a little over-the-top cartoony which I think actually works in its favor since it keeps the show from being TOO scary to the point you can't watch it without staying up all night long. The monsters are just good fun!
Main leads are all great. The two male main leads especially do a lot of heavy lifting but the WHOLE cast is great. Lots of amazing characters to root for (and root against).
Be prepared for emotions !!

As Webtoon readers, of course I can't help but compare

I knew there're new characters in the drama ver. but I'm completely confused with the involvement of military & the gangster team who suddenly appear and vanish in a moment without giving much impact to the story beside bringing the 'liquid' monster into them.

I love how they depicts almost most of the storyline from webtoon tho some are indeed different to gave more sentimental feeling. But I feel the lack of explanation, for people who didn't read the webtoon, to comprehend the story, how they can show this 'monsterisation' is due to human desire. The webtoon give me a jab on how deep the story about "the monster is in me" and I think the story goal is still far away from end comparing to the webtoon as I understood how they 're-born'. I truly cried on how they ended Eunhyuk character in the drama, I mean, I cried. It was one of the best scene beside the moment Hyunsu turns and hug Dusik. I understand that this is not over yet for the series as the monster are still there. Wishing for Season 2!

Music wise, I'm er... not a fan of it. They might come with something more intense and I just feel that this doesn't match with the atmosphere of the story. The cast is beyond my imagination. I love all the cast and how they bring the character into live action. I can feel the sadness and anger while watching it, thumbs up for the cast.

Perfect to binge watch

If you're looking for a thriller, gore, or action filled drama, then this one might be for you. As someone who didn't read the webtoon, it didn't affect my judgement nor I've expected anything from this, because I have zero knowledge on how things went in the webtoon. In my personal point of view based only on what I've watched, I think this is a good drama. Not a big fan of gore, thriller, horror nor action but I actually liked this. The pace of the story was just perfect, from how they cut each episode to have the audience wanting to watch the next episode immediately, to how impactful each episode was. It has this aspect that keeps me on my seat and totally focused on the things that are happening. For the characters, the actors truly played them well, from the main roles to the supporting roles. (Song Kang was really cute btw). I was hooked because of how well they put into life each of their characters. For the effects and monsters, they were also well done– disgustingly good. Actually I've seen the four actors (Lee Do Hyun, Lee Jin Wook, Song Kang, and Lee Si Young) in Running Man when they appeared to promote the drama and because of that, I got a glimpse of the story. Basically humans become monsters when they give in to their desires. That I think is a good life lesson, that we should not let our desires take over and eat us. This drama is basically telling us that we humans are the ones who are making us transform into something else and that's because of our unstoppable greed over something we wanted so bad. I also really like the heartwarming interactions between characters and how they slowly grew to each other, within that 10 episodes. The only reason why I'm giving this a 9 and not a perfect 10 is because I was looking for something else (or Idk if it is more on personal preference) and also because we got that cliffhanger ending. Wishing for a next season because I want to see more of this. Overall, I really like this drama and it is one of those which is perfect to binge watch when you're up for a genre of this type.

Welcome to Sweet Home, a story about humanity, sacrifice and about choosing life...

I loved it,i think it matters a lot that i went in with the "right" mentality to even name it so as it was a better experience going into it without having the high expectations of a webtoon lover as i knew the story more or less and over the years i've read here and there but wasn't invested so even the changes or so didn't effect me that much so those 10h or so went by so fast(i didn't believe i would binge it staying all night till 10am heh,another point to me) and so many emotions,especially with the ones who died as to be fair i cared the most about Jae-heon,really wanted him to survive and get out with Ji-soo…Song Kang was amazing,i totally rooted for him,think it's his best role to date and for me he delivered it,i felt so much sadness and anger for his backstory as his act of kindness was what turned his life in a living hell and other characters backstory were paintful as well…Another great point was their woman representation as the women were mostly the ones taking the main stage and front line when most of the guys(not or main 4)were trying to hide(like when they caught the spider monster),overcoming their fear faster and joing hands to protect themselves, something fresh as we usually always see the men in kdramas being the brave etc ones…I was somehow frustrated that the ones who died deserved to live but life is unfair and it says nowhere that good brave guys end up surviving and thegreedy self centered ones don't...Another great point was the whole atmosphere and the lack of information our group had access as I think part of the major fear aside from well,the monsters at each corner was that no one knew much of anything and maybe that was intended...Of course getting the full straight answers rather than small hints would have been great(i actually don't mind) but taking into context the whole story it made sense that no one knew,at least the general public making it all the more scary...
A great cast indeed and Lee Shi young's just WOW,aside from already a great actress she is body goals!
Hope we'll really get a second season as i really would want to see them explore the world and monsters outside of the complex building as they already have in their hands a rich world worthy of in deep and complex view…
The OST was also fantastic and my personal favorites were Tears of Sweet Home by Gae Mi, Park Junghwan & 4 Strings of Sweet Home by Gae Mi.

Recomand it very much!

2nd season is a must, please!

I just watched the last episode(10th) and I can't believe the second season isn't yet under production. Google says fans are desperate for it but I feel different, a little bit lost, anxious and I have a headache because the final episode was too much mysterious I can't bear with the ambiguous interpretations going on in my brain now. The story is overwhelming, the events are well organized, logical sequences, most importantly, 8 months of production, this is unbelievably amazing, the drama crew must have worked themselves so hard to get it aired on December 18th when we're all struggling with the pandemic and casual lockdowns as well as new infectees every day, death cases and our families being involved, this drama makes you really feel like home and I feel like I am exactly like the survivors, I didn't reach my sweet home yet. Well, I hope we do by the next season, I myself need a second season for myself to find my sweet home since I never felt home before, I am still looking for one.
Moreover, the music used in this drama was wisely chosen, an award for choosing the right music must be created if it wasn't existing already.
Can't help but talk about the OST, it's way too much fitting into the drama theme as well as the graphics.
Many actors deserve respect for being professional and faithful to the roles they played in this drama, it didn't' feel like acting at all. I will add them to my fav list.
My impression is beyond imagination. I don't deny I didn't expect a lot when I started watching the drama, I liked the poster only without reading the plot summary, now I am dying for a second season.

This drama is a cinematic masterpiece. Its production is excellent. The story got me literally on the edge of my seat from the start to finish. I love the actors more and how they were barefaced-- with all the dust, dirt, blood, and all. At a time when everything is very uncertain and people are forced into isolation, Sweet Home tells the importance of collective living. It is hard, but it's one way to survive. Sometimes, you are even to put them above yourself for the safety of the majority. Overall, I love this drama so much. Looking forward for the second season!

Not only the monsters are bad

This is a great drama I've already watched twice.
The main and supporting cast all give excellent performances, including the children.
The effects of living in an environment where society has broken down leads to very different behaviours for the characters, as they really need to pull together in order to survive. The changing opinions and morals of some, as it becomes apparent no one is safe from infection, makes for many characters developing with each episode.
Our human establishment is yet again to blame for messing with things that shouldn't be and fearing everything different. Tarring everyone exposed, with the same brush, can also be seen as the way in which so many laid blame after the outbreak of Covid. Lessons never seem to be learned, as this has and will, happen time and time again.
The pace is a mix of slow burning, menacing and violent. It isn't a particularly happy watch, but there are many touching moments.
The soundtrack is excellent too.
I believe Netflix are waiting for ratings stats before committing to series 2 and I so hope it goes ahead, otherwise the ending is less than pleasing; that would be my only complaint.
I LOVED it.

legit amazing

I read the webtoon vers of Sweet Home starting from 2018 when the author started publishing the chapters. The live action vers did a great job of following the original storyline. the casting is actually amazing...everyones seems so fit for their character..the ost is amazing too. I love how they incorporated warriors from imagine dragons cuz that was in the league of legends soundtrack too which totally makes sense. The cinematography is on another level of genius and the fact that they actually casted Troy James for the spider monster...wow..all in all id give it a 10/10 but bc the ending is so incomplete I'll give it a 9/10 since we're gonna have to wait and see the answers to all our questions. (but honestly the choice of casting all these iconic actors and actresses was genius) probably the best horror/thriller out there

As a WEBTOON reader, I was pleasantly surprised

I was really excited for this drama adaptation ever since I finished reading the WEBTOON, and the show did not disappoint. If you are looking for something that keeps everything from the WEBTOON into the drama, this is not what this show does. However, I feel like this is even better since it helps to keep you intrigued.

Plot: At the start, the plot was a little slow since I expected they the whole WEBTOON would be put into the 10 episodes. For new watchers, I feel like it’s the perfect pace to try and understand the characters since their development or personalities really define the story. The beginning has the most similarities to the WEBTOON, so it may feel a little repetitive (I found it cool to see how scenes were portrayed in real life). For the middle of the plot, if you were expecting the characters to start going up the building and fight monsters like the original, you’ll be a little disappointed. There is still a lot of action, but the show focuses more on the character development (which is my favorite aspect of every show). By the time you’re in the middle and you’re still contemplating if you want to still watch or not since it’s not as fast as you expected, KEEP WATCHING. The last episode is so worth it in my opinion. I would have been satisfied if the story ended here, but at the very end of the last episode, they leave the opportunity for another season.

Cast: The cast did really good at portraying their characters in my opinion. Maybe it’s because I get really attached to shows, but I felt pretty much every emotion they tried to show. For the monsters, the CGI exceeded my expectations. Of course, they are not 100% realistic, but it’s really close. Since the CGI was really good, I was actually scared to see if some monsters from the WEBTOON would still be shown in the drama (since some of them are kinda scary).

Music: I really liked the OST for the show, but I feel like a lot of the music wasn’t the best choice to go along with the scene on the screen. I would definitely listen to some of the songs on my own.

Rewatch Value: I don’t usually rewatch shows (I’ve only rewatched 2 fully out of I don’t know how many dramas I’ve watched), but I see myself rewatching this in the future. There’s enough depth to the characters that you would notice more about each person when you rewatch (keeping the show interesting). There were also many impactful scenes that just don’t lose rewatch value (I see myself rewatching the last episode many times).
