Sweet Home is - I think - my second ever Korean drama that I watched which did not fit under the romance genre in some way or another. I, like many others, watched this kdrama solely because I read and finished the Webtoon. I absolutely loved the depth that the Webtoon gave all of these characters, however none of that transferred to the drama. The characters felt hollow, and while they did have some backstories, it wasn’t nearly as intricate as it was in the original version. This led to the characters’ motivations being somewhat unclear in parts of the drama. This type of story is simply way too complex to be condensed into 10 50-minute episodes, and I would have at least made this drama 16 episodes had I been one of the people working on it. While we’re on the topic, I also have to say that I wish the drama elaborated a lot more on the monster power, especially as it pertained to Hyun Su and the other infected guy that was with the group of raiders. If I hadn’t already been aware of the monsters’ powers because I had read the Webtoon, I would have been HELLA confused with this drama. I think I’ve heard this complaint already, but this drama has some dope-as-hell songs in its soundtrack that just sound absolutely WRONG in the scenes that they are played in. While I enjoy an epic Imagine Dragons moment, it just never really fit in with the haunting atmosphere that the drama was supposed to have. It completely ruined some crucial scenes and made me almost click off the episode. Some of the creative liberties the writers took, such as adding in some characters which weren’t in the original Webtoon, were quite nice, actually. I very much enjoyed the budding romance of Hyun Su and the ballerina girl, for instance. However, I wish the writers hadn’t cut out some parts of the Webtoon and completely changed the drama’s ending. They had instead left the ending extremely open and confusing, and now I’m not sure whether or not they are planning a second season. The reason I watch korean dramas is first and foremost because I’m so sick of the open ended nature of endings in western television shows. Waiting for season after season to come out is frustrating as heck, so I completely made the switch to Korean dramas because they always air for only one season and end the story. I hate that Netflix is considering the possibility of extending their korean dramas for several seasons, because this very thing is what turns me off from their other shows (*cough* stranger things *cough*). Anyway, I’d have to be honest and say that there are countless other dramas I could recommend that are so much better than this one, and, frankly, I had much higher hopes for this, given the amazing storyline the writers had to work with. Would not recommend.
