Sweet Home: Bloody Monsters In Seoul

If you’re trapped inside an apartment, how would you survive an outbreak?

Although this isn’t exactly a Zombie film but Sweet Home has a lot of Zombie elements that this one is in the middle of both. The overall series is gruesome, horror but also offering a unique look into the origin of an outbreak. As many other K-zombie this one includes characters who try to survive during an outbreak. It features people from all walks of life with different profession. However, there are certain aspects that made you wonder as it appears quite silly at times. The second season of Sweet Home is announced to be released sometime this year. This is why it’s a good time to refresh the story while waiting for the second one.

Setting in a poor neighborhood in the outskirt of Seoul, the beginning of the series already hinted that it was the beginning of a horror events. The apartment is called Green Apartment due to its striking green color. The people of the apartment aren’t necessarily well-off. They have problems and are quite complex. The building was quite dilapidated but strangely people living there as if that was a good environment. Right off the bat, the series already hinted that it would a catastrophic too.

The first infected in the apartment was a security officer. Then, the apartment security officer locked the apartment from inside which later revelead that it was to protect the residents. The main characters in this film are Cha Hyun Soo who was played by Song Kang.

Hyun Soo is a hikikomori who recently lost all of his family to an accident. Before the accident, he got bullied in highschool and becoming a NEET. Until he had to move out and eventually lived on the Green Apartment as resident of 1410. During the outbreak, he saw his neighbor got infected as he was trying to fetch his box of Ramen. Then, during the outbreak, he was attempting to save siblings from Eye Monster. Apparently, in the outbreak people became half monster that later revealed it was not airborne nor due parasite but it was because human desire.

In the Green House apartment, the survivors are led by med student, Lee Eun Hyuk who was played by Lee Do-yun. He has a sister who is former ballerina which also is the main cast of the series. Then, there’s Lee Si-Young, a former firefighter and as well as former special forces. She was also the main key in the story as she was the first resident who managed to get out of the apartment and revealed the situation with the infected and the connection to an experiment by the military.

During the survival, Lee Eun Hyuk showed a great organizational skill and was leading the survivors quite well. Apparently the main character Hyun Soo got infected but showed no symptoms of turning into a hideous monster. Instead, as a monster, he became immortal and was a key to the other survivors in the building. This creates a twist that apparently there are mutants like him.

Throughout the film, as typical of K-zombie the residents bicker about whether the government would save them and spent a lot of time bickering instead of trying to focus on survival. At one point, I found it ridiculous that they had to go outside instead looting inside the greeen apartment because the apartment is more than 20 storey packed with residents. How come they aren’t enough water and food?

At first, I was even skeptical of this series. I thought it was cheaply made because the poster and wondered from the trailer if that was a ghost series. But apparently, it’s monster, zombiesque series with interesting story and plot.And again, the monster they’re fighting off like a typical South Korean production is obviously another human. Usually, in western series and film there are explicitly mentioned but that’s not the case with South Korean production. They always make it obvious that the danger isn’t actually the zombie, it was the human and human nature itself.

I am definitely recommending this series during October and as the set for K-zombie. But don’t forget to check out Kingdom as well as ALL OF US ARE DEAD too.

mostly of the time Korean series don't disappoint. when I began to watch this I thought it was about to be the same thing related with zombies, but I was wrong. people talk a lot about squid game, but they need to watch this one to get dipper into the world of Korean series. greetings!!!

There's a lot of good korean series out there and I think more people should check them out. This one was epic and I can't wait to watch the second season soon.

avatar

neither can I. when I finished it I was like "it can't be all...", you know, when you feel that empty spot in your chest when you finish a serie 😂.

people talk too much about the dramas, but not about THIS

avatar

I am glad that I saw this, I am looking for something to watch so I am definitely going to check this out.
