In the show, we follow the main character Cha Hyun-su as he makes his way to move into the old, run-down apartment complex known as The Green Home. At this apartment complex, we meet more of the side characters. In the first episode, they all gather together on the first floor in confusion due to the fact that the complex had been completely shut. They all had no idea what was really going on, especially in the outside world, only concerned with being late to work or meeting families. Opening the front gate would cost someone their life. One of the monsters was standing outside, and as soon as the gate finished opening, it charged inside and started to attack with its long, grotesque tongue. Due to this mistake, a police officer was killed by the monster; fortunately, they were able to push the monster back outside. In the end, they all realized how dire the situation outside was and even concluded that this was the end of the world.

Throughout this season of Sweet Home, the characters learn and adapt to this abrupt apocalypse to survive. They all work together, with a developed survival routine/system to follow based on their knowledge of these monsters. But what’sreally bizarre about these monsters is that they are humans. Humans turned into monsters, not in any biological way but based on their own desires.
When I first watched this series, I didn’t expect the quality to be so good, the soundtrack, the cast, and not to mention the whole base plot and story. Everything about this series was really well made, and this isn’t even an etflix original series. It’s based on a Webtoon comic. That fact alone blew my mind, and it really inspired me to try to write my own story. A lot of people shy away from series with monsters and gore, but honestly, the parts that stuck with me the most are the ordinary moments in this insane, brutal world. The moments where the characters not only survived together but bonded together, growing relationships and digging deeper into themselves. Not only that, but this series taught me something very important: gratitude. Gratitude that I don’t have to live in a crazy world like that, gratitude for every breath I take.

Overall, this series is really insane, yet beautiful. The struggles each character faces show true vulnerability, making them all the more human. This series inspired and changed my perspective on our world. We may not have everything we want or need, but it’s a whole lot better than having to live with the danger of being killed by monsters daily.
Overall Rating: 4.8 stars
