Netflix ORIGINAL Korean Drama
‘Sweet Home’ Season 2
The long-awaited second season of the gripping Netflix Original Korean drama series, Sweet Home, has finally been slated for release on December 1st. Even as someone who isn’t typically drawn to creature-centric narratives, I found myself engrossed by this compelling Korean drama and eagerly awaiting its second installment.
What to Expect in Season 2
Netflix has officially unveiled the release date, accompanied by a suspense-filled poster and trailer. The upcoming season promises more of the same thrilling narrative, with individuals morphing into monsters as an embodiment of their deepest desires. Moreover, the series will continue to delve into the stories of the survivors from the first season, while introducing a host of new characters to keep the plot engaging.
Notably, the cast for the second season will be enriched by the addition of Yoo Oh Sung, Kim Moo Yeol, Oh Jung Se, Jin Young, and Kim Shin Rok.
A Monster of a Time
One of the unique aspects that sets Sweet Home apart is the diversity of its monstrous characters, each symbolizing a distinct characteristic or desire. The first season introduced us to a plethora of such creatures, all living in close quarters with our protagonist, Hyun-soo.
Season 2 is set to bring back some of these unforgettable monsters, while also introducing some formidable new ones.
Unveiling the Poster
The newly released poster showcases a desolate baseball field, suggesting a possible power struggle among the survivors in their makeshift camp.
An Unconventional Plot
The plot of the upcoming season is expected to veer off the beaten path. Director Lee Eung-bok, in consultation with the original writer, has crafted a fresh apocalyptic narrative that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Recapping the Characters
Before we dive into the new season, let’s take a moment to recap the journey of our favorite characters:
