It is clear that South Korea has become one of Netflix’s biggest allies. The streaming platform has been betting on the production of this country for years with the famous k-dramas, Korean series with melodramatic tones that enchant the general public. And also with other larger productions, with Squid Game being the most striking of all.
Now, another series has managed to stand out above the rest, becoming a global success on Netflix in late 2023 and exceeding the expectations of the streaming platform. The name of the series is Sweet Home, and after premiering its first season in late 2020, a second season has now been released that has once again captivated Netflix’s audience.
A series full of gore, action and monsters
Sweet Home combines elements such as monsters, survival, battles, infections, intrigue, interesting characters, and a mystery that surrounds everything. Critics place it as a kind of mix between Stephen King’s The Mist, The Thing, and Die Hard. And that’s not even taking into account its post-apocalyptic and monstrous elements that envelop everything.
The story of Sweet Home revolves around Hyun Soo, a hopeless young man who finds a new purpose when he discovers that the residents of his building are transforming into bloodthirsty monsters. The fight for survival becomes an exciting journey in which the neighbors of the building must come together to face the threat that seeks to destroy them.
The first two seasons of Sweet Home are already available on Netflix, and it is expected that this bizarre show will be renewed for a third season. However, let’s hope we don’t have to wait another three years to see its next installment.
