During this most difficult situation, the real battle is to survive and it is all a mind game. Those who pass this battle will survive those who fail they died. People are infecting and they are suddenly turning into monsters. People who are filled with negative emotions are more likely to completely transform into monsters. Throughout the whole battle, the main goal is to survive not only from the monsters, but also from food, water, and electricity. In the starting, they really don’t to anyone but slowly they start coming close to each other.

Those who are suffering from these symptoms, quarantine themselves from others. Eun Hyuk makes a separate quarantine room for the “infectees” so that other people cannot be infected.

Special Infectees

There are few people who are Special Infectees, and they are those people who have exhibited symptoms of becoming a monster but somehow managed to resist their metamorphosis. Hyun Soo is one of those who hold out for his transformation into the monster. He helps Eun Hyuk in many ways, Hyun Soo is the one who was doing all the difficult task for them.

The ending of the drama really hurts me a lot, I literally cry. With the help of Gil Seop (Kim Gab Soo) finds the route of the tunnel but he suddenly died. Eun Hyuk also experiencing the symptoms of becoming a monster. The building starts collapsing and Eun Hyuk is sitting there while holding his younger sister’s thing. Meanwhile, the group was able to find their way out of Green Home.

Transformation of Characters:

Sang Wook changes his gangster image and later he starts working in a group. He is cold-hearted from the outside but very warm from the inside. His past is full of sadness and in the end, his character changes so much. Later he died while saving Park Yu Ri (Go Young Jung).

Gil Seop (Kim Gap Soo) is a terminally ill patient and he is not afraid of dying. And he is the one who finds the tunnel to escape from the Green Home Apartment.

Jung Jae Heon (Kim Nam Hee) is a Korean Language teacher and a religious Christian. He keeps his sword to defend himself and protect others. He fights with the monsters until his last breath. I way Jae Heon dies is really heartbreaking and sad.

Lee Eun Yoo also a selfish teenager but later she changes her image. She is straightforward and doesn’t afraid of giving help to the one who needs it. In the ending, her relationship with her brother also improve.

Han Du Sik (Kim Sang Ho), despite his physical limitations, was able to give help in the fight with monsters by making weapons.

Overall Thoughts on Sweet Home Korean Drama:

I have binge watch Sweet Home Korean drama because every episode is addictive and I was not able to control myself from watching the episodes. I know many of you can relate to me right? If you are someone who hasn’t watched the webtoon series then you will definitely enjoy the whole series. I have heard that people who have watched webtoon didn’t like the series as much as those who haven’t.

Some of the scenes of Sweet Home Korean drama are funny like when the Green Home survivors are asking Hyun Soo to bring their things from their room. Hyun Soo brings the essential things from their room.

Sweet Home Korean drama is not a romantic Korean drama but there are still some couples whom I’m rooting for like Sang Wook and Park Yu Ri, Ji Su and Jae Heon. I really felt sorry for Ji Su because her first boyfriend committed suicide and now after Jae Heon confess his feeling to Ji Su he is no more. San Wook and Park Yu Ri didn’t even get the chance to confess their feeling.

The ending of Sweet Home Korean drama is a bit confusing and there may be chances that Season 2 of the Sweet Home Korean drama. Sang Wook (who was died with Yu Ri in military gear) suddenly shows alive and escorting Hyun Soo. The question is how Sang Wook alive in the truck? There may be a chance that Ui Myeong (Kim Sung Cheol) is inside Sang Wook. You can also watch Sweet Home Korean drama on Netflix.
