Sweet Home Season 3 (2024)

Closure, but it's unmemorable

I thought Season 1 was generally enjoyable, and Season 2 was also interesting, but had a little too many subplots and random characters. Season 3 fixes that by once again focusing on the most important character (Hyun-su) but doesn't give him much to do.

I'm really glad Hyun-su got more screentime in this season, especially with Eun-yu and Eun-hyeok, because these three were and still are the most important and most intriguing characters, but plot-wise, these three were pretty underutilized. I think the issue is, firstly, just not being quite sure what the end goal is. We know generally that they're on a crash course towards the antagonist, but I didn't really understand what the plan was. And secondly, between this season and the previous season, there's a pretty big shift away from individual stories and showing what triggers monsterization and how they should be dealt with. I get that it's difficult to do this once you've scaled up the story and there are so many arcs to address, but the unfortunate trade-off is that nothing quite sticks.

Better than S1 and S2

If i’m being honest, amongst the other seasons, this one by far was the most interesting one to me. Plotwise and actionwise, it was very entertaining and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did better than some shows would when they make a third season.

Though I think there were many unnecessary deaths (won’t spoil who but I mean..most deaths that happened were pretty predictable and stupid)

And yes I liked this season better but only plotwise. Everything else seemed to remain the same, acting wasn’t all that better and the monsters are still goofy looking, I don’t know- they’re supposed to be scary but they just look incredibly funny and so very obviously fake. And I guess that won’t ever change because the whole point of this show is people turning into all kinds of monsters.

The ending was a bit confusing imo, I have no idea how Hyunsu ended up bringing back that little kid from monsterazation when he was literally goo???

And if it’s been revealed that monsters can be reborn and turn into neohumans, why couldn’t Yisu do the same? I thought she’s already neohuman so she couldn’t die— actually I don’t really remember what happened with her in the end but I doubt she actually died…Yeah, the ending was a little too vague for me.

Overall it was pretty entertaining though and action this season was neat. Lots of unnecessary deaths but I guess for the sake of shock value they had to do something.

Much improved from season 2

Much like many people who watched the entire season, I was hooked like no other after season 1. The way they were all stuck in a small space and the dynamics between all of the characters were very well done, it felt like they explored the side characters as well as the main characters which I appreciated. They continue to do this throughout all of the seasons which I really like in a show, especially seeing them grow (if they don't die first).
The amount of deaths is actually ridiculous, but I had a love-hate relationship with it. It was sad to see so many people I adored go, but it would make no sense to have everyone live until the end. It would have nullified the stakes and made it easy to predict in that way. It did, however, do the opposite...After a while I was certain that almost nobody would make it, you could just feel that they were going to either kill or monsterize almost everyone the audience grew attached to except for the "main main" players (and even some of those!!).

Definitely much better than season 2 since it leaned back into the monster-verse of it all while incorporating less of the military (still included, but more intertwined) which I wasn't as interested in. Everything felt much more connected, and I found it very easy to watch all at once. Acting was great, especially Song Kang! Hyun Su's growth as a character is really cool to see in comparison to the first season. Absolutely loved the dynamic between Hyun Su and Eun-Hyuk. It was very similar to the first season, but different enough considering the change in their characters. The way they bicker (kind of like brothers in some instances) really made me feel warm and fuzzy because it was a happy circle back to season 1.

I simultaneously liked and disliked the final battle scene with Nam Sang Won. It felt less like a physical battle to see who was strong, but more of a mental one. I think it makes sense though considering that's what the entire series is about if you think about it. It was just a little surprising since there was constant talk about who was stronger. Ends up having a really cool interpretation because you could say that, due to Sang Wook coming back and actually putting an end to Sang won, humans are actually the strongest. Very cool way to think about it.

Eun-yu made me sad though. I was really looking forward to seeing Hyun Su have somebody he could actually hold onto considering he's lost so much, as have all of them. Eun-yu came so far in the way she cared for people and put others before herself as opposed to season 1, so to kind of see that go down the drain was a little disappointing. There was the assumption that she would get there though, considering Eun- Hyuk did, so it's not too bad, I just would have liked to see it myself.

Overall, I would 100% watch the series if I hadn't watched it before, and I would probably rewatch season 1 (as I have already while waiting for season 2), but not the rest of the seasons. If you see the ending of the series once, that's really all you need, but I'd say it's worth it to get there.
Watching the ending was bittersweet, but the beginning is always a ride.

Acabou. E o que veio na minha cabeça com o final foi "tá mas vcs não responderam um milhão de coisas que aconteceram desde a 1 temporada ate aqui" e o sentimento que ficou foi de decepção. Acho que por muito tempo achei que haveria um final muito mais bem explicado e construído, não corrido e jogado a Deus. Senti que por ser a ultima temporada eles tmb n queriam voltar e mostrar a história da casa verde, as pessoas que fizeram parte dessa história. Mesmo com aquela história de "nem todo puderam estar aqui" ainda falta algo. Resumindo acho que essa 3 temporada não chega aos pés da primeira.
Pontos positivos: a atuação dos atores foi esplêndida; os efeitos especiais foram legais e a trilha sonora, para mim, faltou algo mas foi boa.

The best thing I've ever seen

I strongly hope there will be a fourth season of 'Sweet Home'. This series was amazing in every sense of the word, and I believe many share the same desire. I loved the story indescribably, and the development of characters and events was extremely engaging. My rating for the series is definitely 10/10, or even 100000/10! However, the ending did not convince me. Therefore, I think a fourth season is necessary to complete the story satisfactorily. The series managed to blend suspense, horror, and drama skillfully, and I hope this thrilling journey continues in a new season??.
The events are not complete, it is unfortunate that there is no another season ?.

a blabble

at ending was so bland for a horror series, it wasn’t good at all. I would of wanted to of seen a key moment when the humans accept hyun-su as a monster, he was neglected the whole series, a scene where they show the moment the humans give in to him would not only be very good for my heart but also be a tear-jerker and such a lovely scene, i really think they should of added that instead of js clipping to a scene where he is suddenly accepted by everyone. The ending was clearly rushed and not tly thought through in my eyes + to me that ending was more of a ending to a romantic kdrama than a horror, it was lovely to see hyun-su genuinely smile but i would rather he be with everyone, like a community as he was so lonely and it js being the 3 of them kinda disappointed me.. ANYWAY SORRY FOR THE BLABBLE

Good, yet a tad rushed

To be honest, this series will always have a special place in my heart, considering the manwha it is one of my favs and has been my 2nd ever drama I have seen. Song Kang brings well the MC, and the monster side is a delight.
The 3rd, and final season was good. I was happy that most of the platoon lived alongside Sargent KIM.
THE antagonist actor did a great job, yet his greed and selfish side brought his doom, considering he used all as his pawns.
The bickering between Cha Hyeon Su and Lee Eun Hyeok was gold, even if one was special infected and the other a neohuman.
Pity they made the FL go through the monsterization, but she has found her place and her brother and one she loved being near, helping her regain her emotions.
In the end, not all could come back (the many characters that died old or new), but those who could, each will wait for.
A bittersweet ending to this beautiful horror trilogy.
Yes, it was a rushed ending and a lot of things still could be shown, but overall I liked it.
the OST could been better too:)))
A bit late for the review,but now I had the free time.

The Redemption of a Series

After the mess that was the season 2 I thought this series is dead and I almost didn't want to watch season 3. But man, this was a good show and i liked the most of it. There are still many stupid illogical details but at least the series had a focus and gave each character a purpose and a proper conclusion.

Watching the series, I realized how much I care about the characters and it was very emotional to witness their pain and tragic fates. This is thanks to the actors who looked very attractive and authentic. Also the excellent soundtrack that often sounded like church music contributed to the atmosphere.

I especially liked the use of religious elements and symbols that subtly indicated order in the midst of chaos. All the characters, whether human or monster or specially infected or neohumans, they all found their purpose and a kind of redemption. In my opinion, the authors managed to return the series to its original roots and conclude the story in a great way and i couldn't be happier about it.
