The only problem that I have with it is that they drifted from the source material, I really wished they went with the original story instead of making their own
@@Anh-A-PhamThuHang no they don't have to change anything because it's a adaptation, not a remaster, it's suppose to be the story but in a different form, not going their own way
@@VolcanoQueen webtoons often don't translate well directly to screen, lots of changes have to be made and I think you have to accept that in order to enjoy a lot of movies and shows
Yeah that really just I don’t know how you say like turned me off from the show wasn’t really scared or frightened by anything in the show just felt like an off brand monster infested futuristic live action Sasuke movie
Wish they had a more serious atmosphere and overall cinematography to the series. Also, some of the clichéd horror stings were stupid and the director should have just cut out most music in general. Let the actors speak with no annoying music would make it creepier. For the crap South Korea produces sometimes and my own expectations that this would be terrible, pretty good and entertaining.
'Sweet Home' is based on Manhwa (Korean graphic novels) webtoon series which is really awesome. I like to differentiate between Manga and Manhwa because they are really different stylistically and thematically.
Yeah the live film is a bit different to the manwha which I loved and I didn’t really know if the live version was good or not so I looked for some reviews
@@smokeybacon8308 I enjoyed it but def different story line and with adjustment to the characters. I'd say watch a few ep and see. It was fun to watch. Only 10 eps.
There are so many missing elements like the back story for protein guy or the super fast guy or the moment where the mc talks to that guy on the computer they never talk about maria the game
They missed so many things to the point I was upset. I could deal with most things they excluded but the last episode disappointed me.😢 and it was such a good WEBTOON
@@michaeljr3194 Supposedly it's getting a second season. Which I question massively because that means they will either come up with a new story (yay?) Or explore the ending from the comic (nay).
@@aytony4090 no that wouldn’t make sense for it to end the same way because they cut a huge chunk of the fucking plot. The half monsters are just fucking dudes from the anime parasite
whats more they butchered the character that is the misunderstood mobster where he was supposed to be a fucking hero in the manwha but now hes a loner gangster in the series
Where the hell is squidward monster? Where the hell is maria in the sky? Where the hell is crewcrew? Where the hell is hyein? Where the hell is the friendship between characters? Where the hell is "how do i look"? So many questions
@@Br0ken_tv677 Well, there's no way they could have made that Giant Face guy without it being overtly dumb especially with their budget. But yeah, a lot is missing and didn't they change the Maria movie to just a Beta for a video game?
@@aytony4090 yes which is a bad decision IMO, cause Hyun su true desire is to watch Maria in the sky and at the end of the webtoon (spoiler) he a monster that looks like the knight in Maria in the sky, which is make a lot of sense
@@victoryanovanza9224 The webtoon is so good. I can never stop gushing about it. Wish most had the same quality writing and art style. I started off watching the series thinking I could get past its short comings with the budget, but then they brought in the whole military aspect and everything went downhill from there. Half the characters in there should have been dead by like episode 4 and I can't get around why they decided to make the Ex cop a gangster. I legitimately believe that they thought the writer was serious when he was called a gangster in the beginning of the webtoon. Furthermore, the child actors really need to be told to be quiet. The little kid did nothing but cry (in the webtoon they did the same but in there you couldn't hear them) and they changed the age of the smart kid's sister just for her to act bitchy and annoy everyone in the apartment building. But as you said, gonna have to wait to see if season 2 can fix some things.
I loved the show, but hearing the same imagine dragons song every other episode, sometimes even twice in the same episode really took me out of the experience /:
Exactly, I literally came here to shit on it it annoyed me so much. I actually like the song, but it's whiny and nerdy and completely anticlimactic in a fight. I can't believe such a minor thing using a GOOD song can ruin the whole series but it does. It's a completely autistic choice.
this felt more like an "inspired" series rather than an adaptation. as its own individual kdrama, it's pretty good like I'd give it a 7.5/10 but as a reader of the webtoon who was there since the beginning of it all and loved it all the way through, it's extremely disappointing as an adaptation it would be a 3/10 for me as the original webtoon was a 9/10
yes omg thank u it was pretty disappointing to see so many people say they loved it and thought it was accurate to the webtoon but i completely agree with u i’m so happy i’m not the only one
Damn, it ended a year ago for me, I just finished it around May 30 2021 today, and I cried when I decided to listen to the music afterwards, it was beautiful.
I liked the idea of people turning into a monster that resembles their ultimate desire. I think one of my favorite monster in the show was the half head monster. There were really great scary scenes involving this one. The fact that it can't see but is really deadly when he hears you adds absolutely great moments in the show. Towards the middle though some fight scenes were purposely cut and we're showed only the aftermath of the supposed fight from said monster (cgi budget cuts?). And a lot of the drama and conversations felt like fillers which adds nothing to the show.
This is better than Alice, I didn't feel for the characters in Alice. In sweet home I cried ep 9 the best character in the show was piss but great writing but if it had me crying it's good. In walking dead I wish they all die
@@teheheheheta1336 in Alice "spoilers" they killed all the main characters in episode 4 big mistake do it in the end or near the end amateurs. The Katana guy in Sweet home made us think he was going to a Bible thumber creep but he turn out to be the most lovable badass. She would differently convert for him 😂
Just finished the whole series...quite disappointed though...they didn't focus much on monsters and didn't stick to webtoon stories..guess I was expecting more..
i mean,, cgi is expensive if u want to use it in a live action adaptation, so they had to slightly change the storyline, i dont think its easy to make lots of monsters with cgi, so they compromised. but hey, atleast protein man and the eyeball monster was there though it wasn't great 🤷
@@crunchy7003 I mean netflix spent $2.4 mil per episode and Kingdom the zombie movie that also had some CGI was about the same cost wise, but they still had better graphics. I know it's more difficult to create monsters, but I will agree that it could have been better. Since they only showed I think like 4 monsters. Anyways, I also expected more and I thought it dragged way to much then needed, but I guess thats why they are expecting to do a season 2.
@@Tae-Kim-07 eh I don’t know about season 2, the show looks like it’s becoming another show like the anime parasite. They completely cut off a huge part of the story which really threw me off,they even changed hyuna mister form
Yeah they finished the adaptation in March when the Webtoon finished in June so the endings being different didn't surprise me that much but still caught me off guard. Because of this the author told the director it was ok to make the ending different to see how their interpretation would be. He says he wants to stay true to the webtoon so a season 2 might see all the other bits that wasn't there.
Ugh people always gotta whine🤦🏾♂️. They cant cram everything into 10 eps. In fact no comic/manga/webtoon has ever been adapted fully so, just appreciate that it got an adaptation.
This is such an amazing drama. Most of all, I was deeply impressed by the humanism telling us that compassion, solidarity, and love will save this messy world.
those saying “if you’ve read the webtoon, you won’t think this show is all that”, i beg to differ. the show enhances so many awesome aspects of the manhwa in ways i didn’t expect, and although there are those that didn’t appreciate the stuff it did and things is changed/didn’t include, i’m not one of them. this show is one of the best of this year and i appreciate every single aspect of it. also, bear in mind that it’s a 10 episode drama and the story isn’t over yet.
@@Titanpro7 I'd say as a drama on its own if the webtoon wasn't a thing its actually pretty good, but since it's based on the webtoon and of course if you read it, I think a lot of people would be disappointed, I personally thought it was pretty okay despite the plot being changed, expect like the first 2 episodes but I was glad they kept a lot of the characters from the original. What didn't sit with me was the lack of monsters screen time, in the webtoon it of course revolved around it but in the drama it took like a the walking dead turn where they stop showing the zombies/monsters at some point and just focus on people turning against each other or just focusing on the character relationships
@@zuzanna7631 the webtoon also have alot of drama and times where there is no monsters lmao.. but im not defending the series its just the series have a nice idea but the process is weak af. the webtoon has a good balance between drama scenes and monster scenes.. They just made bad choices.. How many dialogues has the protagonist? lmao like 4? the script is so trash sadly.. And of course i know some may like this series and thats good but cmon i see some people be like: "OMG THIS IS THE BEST SERIES OF 2020 IS SO GOODDDD" like what? lmao korea give us parasite and alot of nice movies and series but this is barely mid.. btw they spend USD$2.4 million per episode and rn is the most expensive drama adaptation costing. With all that being said is trash maybe if they didn't have all those resources and important people doing the series maybe it would reach a 6/10. it's a shame it could have been a good series
@@Titanpro7 it really does have a lot of potential, but as said the execution wasn't the best, it's not an entirely bad series on its own, but it's not something I would personally rewatch over and over, and what I mean was that yeah there were parts when there were no monsters at all in the webtoon, but I still felt like it was lacking in the adaptation, and the way they just got rid of the protein monster was unexpected, I can't remember what happened to him in the webtoon since it's been some time since I read it but I'm sure he didn't go down like that
I just finished watching the live action on Netflix. Coming from someone who read the webtoon for years (as well as the Author's previous work, "Bastard") I would say that the first 4 episodes did a pretty good job of representing the webtoon. However after that, it went off track from the webtoon I believe because they started production at the same time of when the webtoon was still ongoing and not yet complete, so they had to come up with their own plot development. They changed some of the character relationships, who died when, how they died, what their powers were, etc., Honestly, i didn't really know how to feel about it some of it. I will say that I did like the addition of the firefighter lady, cuz she wasn't in the webtoon. Also how in the webtoon the ex-cop was changed into a gangster/hitman. But I DID NOT like was the smart guy's younger sister. In webtoon, she was quiet and honestly didn't add much to the plot as other characters, but in the live action that girl was SUPER annoying and rude for no reason. Also, sometimes the placement of music was .. off. Like, the Imagine Dragons song. The webtoon is still WAAAAAY better and I encourage any one who hasn't already to read it. However, I will say the live action did a pretty ok job (especially at the beginning and the scary scenes actually did scare me). As compared to other dramas I've seen that were adapted from webtoons, manga, etc Sweet Home was one of the better ones.
I feel like this could’ve been a great show but everything the show portrayed was made very poorly. It’s almost like they were on a low budget and tried to put most of it into the monsters instead of the story itself. The reason the WEBTOON was so good was because it allowed us to connect and sympathize for many things that happen to the mc. An example of this is it shows us why the mc was living alone and why he wanted to kill himself. In the show all it did was show he was living alone wanting to kill himself for no reason. It didn’t allow us to try to relate or connect to the mc in any way, you can’t even feel sympathy for him because you don’t even know what’s wrong. It’s almost like they try to speed run the story.
Just like The God of Highschool Tbh it gives webtoons a bad rap when its extremely rushed. I always talked about sweet home being one of the best webtoons and then I see they made a live action and my reaction was like it might be good because of the world but tbh its probably gonna be shit if you didn't read the webtoon. Like it won't make sense for many of the characters we see.
I get where you are all coming from but I was like that at 1st and then I gave it a chance, granted it wasnt the masterpiece that the webtoon was but the actors and actresses gave it their all and I felt some emotions from a lot of the scenes
I watched six episodes expecting the show to become any good since it has potential. Holy shit is it boring. The mc doesn't talk at all yet nearly 90% of the dialogue in this show serves no purpose. Edit: started reading the webcomic since it had to be somewhat good or Netflix wouldn’t want a show of it. Not so far yet, but it is way better. The thug guy actually talks and has a personality. Edit edit: The webcomic has a way faster pace. Up till now, around the first time seeing the Macgyver guy, all characters have been interesting and the monsters aren’t limited by some CGI budget worth 50 moldy bread coupons. If you think that the series was disappointing to say the least, I recommend trying out the webcomic instead.
I enjoyed the show. The actors were great, a lot of fantastic images, and the monsters are super cool. That being said, the filmmakers seem to have had very little concern for continuity. People would just be in a scene out of nowhere, they'd cut to stuff that didn't match the previous action, and more than once I was like "wait, what just happened?" The jarring jump cuts didn't seem purposeful, but more so that perhaps certain things weren't shot or maybe there was no budget for pick-ups and reshoots. All that being said, the show is entertaining and definitely worth a watch. Just don't get caught up on some of the hiccups, and embrace the over-the-top moments.
the jumpcuts were annoying as hell, it was like they were either trying to fill time or explain something backward which confused me. sometimes, linear plot development works better. like austin said, sometimes it's too chaotic.
as someone who read the webtoon, i definitely have a bias toward the webtoon version of the story, but i actually loved a lot of the changes they made. i loved the fire fighter lady and the brother sister relationship had a lot more depth. sort of meh on the ending and how they changed the "gangsters" character. i found the end of the webtoon more satisfying and there were a couple of cool moments i missed, but overall i still liked it! even though i already knew who was going to die i still cried lol.
@Pareidolia to be honest i didn't really like what they did with her story and plot line, but personally I liked her as a character. that could also just be because i'm biased bc she's a hot badass lady lmao
@@sepheverett1916 that's why i said the change was meh. i like him in the webtoon way way better, but seeing as they are expanding the story i'll have to wait to see what they do with his character to judge whether i really like him or not.
Its kinda disappointing that they didn’t based so much on webtoon. Some episode and characters are fine but some are huge change mostly the ending So I give it 5/10 this series
I just binge watched the whole thing and Holy shit, it was actually really good to me. Plus the main character didn’t have a cringe story line or personality.
Rlly? The mc in the series looked insane or like he had some mental psychopathic issue. In the manhwa he was a normal kid, depressed and suicidal not mentally ill or psycho
I just finished watching it. I would definitely say that it was a bit different from what i read on Webtoon. But liked watching it anyways. The ending was also very different.
Ikr Webtoon Ending: Webtoon Readers: I'm happy 😭 Netflix Ending: Webtoon Readers: WTF just happened .... But yeah the Netflix Ending made more sense coz there is no actual safe camp like the one shown in the Webtoon coz no one knows who will turn into a monster
@@eshikarnikam1426 That's the point. The ending was simply just Hyun's desire playing out in his head. Yk finding them and being with them was his desire. It never actually happened in the real world. Just in the fake one the virus made for him after revealing his desire.
Dude I'm amazed at how close but different it is, it's like a fresh POV of the story I read, if this was 2016 still I'd never believe this was releasing
I loved the webtoon and definitely loved the show and how almost all of the characters and monsters were portrayed! My only concerns were -They took a lot out of Sang Wook’s (the gangster) and Jisoo’s (bass player) characters, making them more like supportive characters. I felt they took a lot of Sang Wook’s heroic characteristics and gave them to Yi Kyung (the firefighter) -I felt like the focus on Monster’s was completely gone by the end of the season. Like they just kind of vanished by the end. Versus in the comic, the apartment was being swarmed at the end. I know they’re deviating from the comic, but I felt that is was a drastic change.
Thank you for reviewing this one Austin! Would have never heard about this if you hadn't reviewed it :) I will definitely check this one out, it sounds like it's going to be right up my alley
I'm half way through this and man it's just so dam entertaining which is what ultimately matters in the end , I loved the mix of ultra violence and slapstick , great review sir
Great script with great delivery and it keeps you on the edge of your seat while still being somewhat relatable One of the best South Korean series this year!
That glasses and flannel shirt dude?? His face changed TWICE throughout the first 9 episodes. He doesn’t react to anything differently. Same with gangster man. I don’t know how hardened a person you are, you don’t just NOT react to something trying to rat you. Dialogue was fine, I guess. But the delivery from A LOT of characters were lacking in variety
@@hughnguyen9831 nah man the script is wack too but i mean that dude with glasses have like 4 dialogues and the other dude was supposed to act hard so that why they do the no emotion thing or hard to impress.. But in the series they never show some of the true feelings of the characters basically the idea of the series was good but the procees is too weak.. Like they just need to go with 5 "main" characters and thats it.. but no they ended up doing some weird shit.. and its funny i think the dog have more screen time and dialogues than the mf protagonist (monster guy) lmao
Confusing, incoherent and lack of continuity and spacial coherence. This is what i think of this show. After watching all of it i feel like i watched some sort of pre-release edit of the show, there's time skips, there's teleporting characters, it's all over the place.
Be interesting to see season 2. I'm unfamiliar with the source material, but decided to marathon it. It was good. The effects sometimes seemed fantastic. Other time it felt off but most of the time I liked it quite a bit. Though I will say to be sure we know there isn't exactly tons of money to burn on this, so it was impressive for budget.
It was also made in like 5 months. Pretty impressive. Also definitely read the Webtoon comic (you can only read 1 chapter a day, don't worry, just go to zahard.top or mangakakalot.com to read it all at once) it is a hell of a lot better and creepy as shit.
PLSSS read the webtoon it is so much more better and have more depth to the different characters mostly hyun and mostly you wouldn't see the butchered version of some of the characters in the webtoon like the gangster which is totally not a gangster in the comic at all and the sister which is supposed to be a child not a full fucking grown up
Well made and thought out review! You seriously should have like at least 3 million subs man, actually I can easily see you hosting a show on a major network your very well spoken, have a very likeable personality and I just love listening to your reviews. Keep up the fantastic work!
I’ve been here sense the beginning reading the WEBTOON when it first came out and seeing it being made into a live action series and it actually being good and faithful is amazing
Im on episode 6...It is absolutely attrociously bad...IF your expecting monster fights..U rarely get that..It is HORRIBLE..I cant believe i see anything positive about this show..
glad you reviewing Korean related shows on Netflix. Been waiting for you to watch 'sweet home' , love this show and looking forward to seeing season 2.
I thought they did a Pretty good job wit the series I love the Webtoon! Would love a Animated series for it one day and I hope for a s2 for Netflix as well
I would only recommend this people who will after watching this read the story. Big plot points are skipped and for me I lost a lot of empathy for most of the characters but by reading the story afterwards it gives more clarity on what's going on as well as more details of things that are overlooked in this adaptation
I read the entire Webtoon and I liked it a lot so when I heard it was gonna be on Netflix I was on the fence about it so I’m really hoping it lives up to its original webtoon
Honrstly there were just WAY too many unnecessary and bad changed from the webtoon for me to enjoy it. Jisu was hardly relevant like she was supposed to be. In fact, wook (mob guy), jisu, and Hyun were the "3 best friend MCs" in the webtoon and...why did they remove that?? They replaced mob man in the plot line with the firefighter and it was just so disappointing since he was a LOT of peoples favorite character from the webtoon. And what about Maria game??? (Spoiler) it was literally Hyun's desire through the majority of the story until the end! It played a major role for his character as well as humor and it was how he connected to Hyuk (smart glasses guy). Also I'm not sure why they changed Wook so much? He was never a mon guy, everyone just called him that and he would correct them. It was supposed to be funny:/. He even already had a backstory in the webtoon (spoilers) connected with those 3 convicts. *sigh* I feel like they took the subtle parts of the webtoon that got people to love it in the first place and just removed them all
Been reading and awaiting updates from excruciating cliffhangers for over two years. But I'll still say that the Manhwa was way, way better. A single panel alone, even reading it, is just horrifying and creepy, and how they managed to give jumpscares still baffles me.
My favorite part was imagine dragons playing every other episode and I swear to god they played the song, then a few sences later the song without the lyrics.
I loved it, not normally a fan of this genre, but it had a great cast, and the story was good too, for a drama made in the middle of a pandemic, they did a fantastic job! It was highly entertaining. And great monsters XD
This series effin sucks. Been on my phone the whole time. Watching it and trying to finish coz i already started. The feeling sucked. No story development. No likeable characters. Even the leading man. I wasnt invested in. This whole series can fit in one episode. Final act when things starting to get interesting and had action was too short. I think people just loved ot coz people addicted to korean nowadays. Alice in borderland much much much better.
I love it, I was thoroughly entertained! Completely different than any other series I’ve seen, I was not expecting this series to be this great, absolutely love it!
It's a nice show that seems to be inspired from sweet home than adapted from it. They ruined so many characters. And somehow the main character shifted from Hyun to the (originally non-existent) firefighter Yi-kyung. As a fan of the webtoon, I was excited for the show but got disappointed. I never expected for the show to follow the webtoon to the T but...sigh
I'm really enjoying this series but the CGI is absolutely atrocious, it ruins the show for me as it takes me out of the story. I wish they'd just done practical effects. Still, it's a fun show.
This adaptation is a great effort and if everyone really liked it i am glad you got to know about this ! BUT if possible read the webtoon first i would really recommend that !
This series is the greatest surprise for me in 2020. WOW It's amazing. If they can keep this up from just seeing the first 3 episodes.. This show will be huge. It's like Sam Raimi 20 years ago, but better! I'm just in awe that a show like this even exhists and really open the door for way more potential in future series that I see are now possible.
Let me just say that I HATED how they all refused to help eachother and prevent death of the others. They all stood there and watched the guy on the elevator slowly get killed when in reality if they all jumped on the zombie they could’ve got him off the guy. Situations like this really reflect how selfish people can be
I liked it. It deviated from the Webtoon delightfully and an insight into other characters was nice. I do wish Hyun was more focused on though. I could recall so many moments of Hyun fighting himself in the moment but not many in the series. Also, while I enjoy the additions, the subtractions... Eh. Three big ones for me are the idol guy, Crew Crew, and Maria in the Sky. Crew Crew and Maria imo were really important regarding the relationships between Hyun and Jisu and Hyuk. And I just liked the idol guy (also known as the guy with a large face). All in all, I like it a lot, but I would really like to see and anime that stays true to the Webtoon.
So...I had read the Webtoon since it had been released, since I also read the author's other Webtoon, Bastard. I went in expecting it to be an entirely different story with the same characters and world, and that's pretty much what I got. I watched the first episode with a friend, so it was actually pretty refreshing to be surprised with him when I thought I knew what was happening. I watched the rest alone. In the beginning, though rushed af, it actually kept pretty close to the original comic with some added scenes that differentiated it but didn't ruin it. That somewhat made me more open to the later split from the canon timeline. I really really hated how they portrayed the ex-cop and added the Firefighter lady seemingly only to take all of his best qualities away from him. But as I viewed the show as more of an alternate timeline, I didn't hate most of it. It didn't give you much of a chance to develop emotional connections to the characters, and those chances it did give you were entirely different from the Webtoon, save for the little sister having a crush on Hyun where they gave them more interaction so it kind of made more sense. If you go in having read the Webtoon, you already have an emotional connection to the characters, you will feel the emotional aspects they would have wanted you to. If you did not, you'll just think it's shit. So, basically what I'm saying, is make like a Homestuck and watch this as a doomed session timeline so that you might actually enjoy it. Also, I don't watch a lot of shows or movies with CGI, so I was actually genuinely impressed by how true to form the monsters were, especially the blind monster, some of the scenes with that were absolutely chilling.
I watched it back to back and this show is emotionally exhausting but a good show. Somehow it doubles as a show i love but wouldn’t recommend. And since its all in one building, they could’ve all died since there was barely any protection between them and the monsters upstairs. And some of the cgi looked like claymation 🤦🏽♂️ And it’s annoying when characters fight for everything and it all goes to waste in the end.
Boring show. Episode 1-6 is basically the same thing. Them being in the same complex. U can literally miss 5 episodes and u won’t miss much lol. Episode 1 till the final episode you could literally explain them in one sentence.
The netflix adaptation was mid up until ep 7/8 and the last 2 episodes were dogshit. There were a million issues and mess ups on the writers part but the acting carried the show and the effects were nice. Id say a 5/10 but accounting for my dissapointment as a massive fan of the webtoon i give it a 2/10
The webtoon series is a complete masterpiece. When I heard that it was getting an actual series, I was a little disappointed that it was going to be live action, however I am impressed by what South Korea has done with the show and I'm only two episodes in. I still think the whole thing should've just been an anime with the same art style as the webtoon series.
I never read the manga but I thought the show was great. I totally agree they were self aware of the cheesiness at times but I definitely leaned into it and I'm glad I did because the characters were really interesting and lovable. I don't want to spoil the ending for people reading but I was crying from like episode 8 to maybe 15 minutes before the last episode ended and then that last 15 minutes I was just mad they stopped the season there.
I think this series would be good for perople who didnt read the webtoon, but for a person who read the webtoon, I felt a lil dissapointed with the lack of backstory and development of some of the characters. Especially when it came to the mosters and how they became that way. 😭
I am a fan of the webtoon and I like the live action, although I still find the WEBTOON more creepy. However, I’m glad they made the live action somewhat different from the WEBTOON because I want some suspense.
The actor is portrated as firefighter is the well-known and the former left-hand professional boxer in Korea, and it is really fit for that role that perform the difficult action scene.
Guys I'm watching the first episode and it is NOT epic and shot well, the monsters are cheesy and the acting seems dull atm.. This does the webtoon no justice? Does it get better? Cause I'm so close to not continuing with how bad the opening episode is...
I live how the series starts to completely drift away from the actual story and end in a completely bizarre way . Over here changing there abilities and crap. Perfect review 10/10 🤨
I kinda feel bad for that blob monster who saved the kid. Spoiler alert: the blob is actually a kid in the manga who's innocent desire is just to pee. Coz he's just holding it in. Her mother hid him in the closet coz there's a monster outside.
Was it changed in the series, or am i referring to a different monster? I remember that in the WEBTOON, it was a kid who was playing Hide and Seek with his mom, but she ended up dying and he became a monster because he wanted to be found. He was the one asking Hyun if he could see him. I could be wrong though.
Felt like so many random things added into the drama that were never explained... What was the significance of the mother with the stroller turning into a monster? What was in the briefcase that was stolen? Who was the slime monster that saved the kid? Soooooooooo many more questions, I don't even know where to start.....
Read the webtoon it's better. All monster have story why they become monster. The protein guy is actually always going to gym and wanted to have big muscles, the fast monster is actually an athlete wanted to be the best in running, the slime is a kid that wanted to hide from monsters. Many monsters are not yet in the show. I wish they appear. I like to see the guy that obsessed with his look actually hes character is in the show but didnt become a monster. When he become a monster he will be a giant face and ask people how did he look you need to answer hes handsome or else he will get angry and kill. Also the character that is sexually maniac is in the series but didnt get become a monster :(
The monsters interested me but other than that I was bored, I even tried turning the dubs on thinking I wasn't paying attention while reading the subs but still not enjoying the story
You gave it way more thought than it deserved. Nothing pisses me off more than wasting airtime like this shit show does. NOBODY reacts to anything. They're dead, but even the dead have more animation. Plus, the firefighter was completely pointless. The CGI monsters were done terribly, esp. the monster without a face. Laughable. Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves. I'm sorry for the manga fans who were screwed over.
Started watching and stopped after ep4. Can't watch the stupidity of it. There's a scene where this guy says he's gonna get out coz he thinks the monsters are gone but the very next scene he stops the woman from getting out to fetch her daughter. WTF!? Why would he do that when he too wants to get out. Then daughter got killed. And then as they scramble to close the gate the monster attacked and almost hit guy w/ glasses. The woman in hysterics screams and cries on the guy on the very same spot where the monster attacked. Cmon! Did the monster suddenly vanish, ignore or respect the noisy woman because she's grieving? Then there's the firewoman who got caught by the monster. She escaped and a chase happen in the vents. You'll notice the openings are of the same size and so is the last where she kicked and went down. Why the f*ck didn't the monster follow her down when it can definitely fit. This type of things ruin the whole experience. It's like watching Peninsula(train to busan part 2) all over again. Conclusion: not recommended for logical viewers. Wait for an anime adaptation where it can do justice to the webtoon.
My fav character was the gangster. Also I didn’t realize the firefighter lady was the girl from boys over flowers. Good stuff she hot. There was a lot of characters and I felt anxious they wouldn’t be able to flesh out each character but they pulled it off.
Not gonna lie I was a bit disappointed with how it ended. Granted it was actually pretty good, but there were so many great elements that they missed. It just seemed like they skipped on the important stuff from the actual webtoon just so they could add their own plot line.
I haven’t read the web toon but as a series on its own without previous backstory, I’d rate it an 8.5 out of ten. But I can imagine why people would be angry that it misses so much out of what it’s based on
Thanks for watching!
Did this series deliver for you??
The only problem that I have with it is that they drifted from the source material, I really wished they went with the original story instead of making their own
@@VolcanoQueen i mean, no director wants to be labelled "not creative" or "copycat" so they must change sth
@@Anh-A-PhamThuHang no they don't have to change anything because it's a adaptation, not a remaster, it's suppose to be the story but in a different form, not going their own way

I stopped reading when they added daily pass but I can't wait to see the thomas demon on steroids LOL
Wish they had a more serious atmosphere and overall cinematography to the series. Also, some of the clichéd horror stings were stupid and the director should have just cut out most music in general. Let the actors speak with no annoying music would make it creepier. For the crap South Korea produces sometimes and my own expectations that this would be terrible, pretty good and entertaining.
@@aytony4090 omg when they put on that imagine dragon song on every single scene i was...shocked
'Sweet Home' is based on Manhwa (Korean graphic novels) webtoon series which is really awesome. I like to differentiate between Manga and Manhwa because they are really different stylistically and thematically.
Yeap. Its one of my favorite one's at that, and when I opened up the app today and saw "live streaming" I flipped my shit
Yeah the live film is a bit different to the manwha which I loved and I didn’t really know if the live version was good or not so I looked for some reviews

They missed so many things to the point I was upset. I could deal with most things they excluded but the last episode disappointed me.😢 and it was such a good WEBTOON

Where the hell is the friendship between characters?

@@aytony4090 but let's just wait and see how season 2 will be
@@victoryanovanza9224 The webtoon is so good. I can never stop gushing about it.
Wish most had the same quality writing and art style.
I started off watching the series thinking I could get past its short comings with the budget, but then they brought in the whole military aspect and everything went downhill from there.
Half the characters in there should have been dead by like episode 4 and I can't get around why they decided to make the Ex cop a gangster. I legitimately believe that they thought the writer was serious when he was called a gangster in the beginning of the webtoon.
Furthermore, the child actors really need to be told to be quiet. The little kid did nothing but cry (in the webtoon they did the same but in there you couldn't hear them) and they changed the age of the smart kid's sister just for her to act bitchy and annoy everyone in the apartment building.
But as you said, gonna have to wait to see if season 2 can fix some things.
I loved the show, but hearing the same imagine dragons song every other episode, sometimes even twice in the same episode really took me out of the experience /:
Ikr
At first I wasn't sure about it, and even bust out laughing sometimes, but by the end I was disappointed we didn't hear it in the final episode
Exactly, I literally came here to shit on it it annoyed me so much. I actually like the song, but it's whiny and nerdy and completely anticlimactic in a fight. I can't believe such a minor thing using a GOOD song can ruin the whole series but it does. It's a completely autistic choice.
@@ivankontra3446 Thats because you know the song and can understand the lyrics. Koreans don't. So keep on whining.
@@johnj3027 you think koreans can't speak English?
holy shit stfu
this felt more like an "inspired" series rather than an adaptation. as its own individual kdrama, it's pretty good like I'd give it a 7.5/10 but as a reader of the webtoon who was there since the beginning of it all and loved it all the way through, it's extremely disappointing as an adaptation it would be a 3/10 for me as the original webtoon was a 9/10
Agreed
yes omg thank u it was pretty disappointing to see so many people say they loved it and thought it was accurate to the webtoon but i completely agree with u i’m so happy i’m not the only one
I feel like they changed too many things in the adaptation so I was kinda disappointed. But it was still cool
Agreed! As a fan of the webtoon I was extremely disappointed. It's a nice show but I can't find it in myself to finish the series.
Completely agree
This is based on a webtoon series whoe ended few months ago, i'm glad you liked it!
Really a few months ago? I remember finishing it like a year ago.
@@naylisyazwina6836 The english version endend this year :c
@@ArvalVampire I just checked and wow you're right! It literally feels like it's been a year for me, weird.
“Based on.” Yeah right.
Damn, it ended a year ago for me, I just finished it around May 30 2021 today, and I cried when I decided to listen to the music afterwards, it was beautiful.
I liked the idea of people turning into a monster that resembles their ultimate desire. I think one of my favorite monster in the show was the half head monster. There were really great scary scenes involving this one. The fact that it can't see but is really deadly when he hears you adds absolutely great moments in the show. Towards the middle though some fight scenes were purposely cut and we're showed only the aftermath of the supposed fight from said monster (cgi budget cuts?). And a lot of the drama and conversations felt like fillers which adds nothing to the show.
Been really enjoying this show and Alice in Borderland.
I finished it in 2 days! And now I just finished the manga
I literally binged Alice in borderland in 1 day and now I’m watching this
This is better than Alice, I didn't feel for the characters in Alice. In sweet home I cried ep 9 the best character in the show was piss but great writing but if it had me crying it's good. In walking dead I wish they all die
@@iwillrateyou9375 the webtoon also hits the feel not as much as the live action imo but it hits none the less
@@teheheheheta1336 in Alice "spoilers" they killed all the main characters in episode 4 big mistake do it in the end or near the end amateurs. The Katana guy in Sweet home made us think he was going to a Bible thumber creep but he turn out to be the most lovable badass. She would differently convert for him 😂
Just finished the whole series...quite disappointed though...they didn't focus much on monsters and didn't stick to webtoon stories..guess I was expecting more..
i mean,, cgi is expensive if u want to use it in a live action adaptation, so they had to slightly change the storyline, i dont think its easy to make lots of monsters with cgi, so they compromised. but hey, atleast protein man and the eyeball monster was there though it wasn't great 🤷
@@crunchy7003 I mean netflix spent $2.4 mil per episode and Kingdom the zombie movie that also had some CGI was about the same cost wise, but they still had better graphics. I know it's more difficult to create monsters, but I will agree that it could have been better. Since they only showed I think like 4 monsters. Anyways, I also expected more and I thought it dragged way to much then needed, but I guess thats why they are expecting to do a season 2.
@@Tae-Kim-07 eh I don’t know about season 2, the show looks like it’s becoming another show like the anime parasite. They completely cut off a huge part of the story which really threw me off,they even changed hyuna mister form
Yeah they finished the adaptation in March when the Webtoon finished in June so the endings being different didn't surprise me that much but still caught me off guard. Because of this the author told the director it was ok to make the ending different to see how their interpretation would be. He says he wants to stay true to the webtoon so a season 2 might see all the other bits that wasn't there.
Ugh people always gotta whine🤦🏾♂️. They cant cram everything into 10 eps. In fact no comic/manga/webtoon has ever been adapted fully so, just appreciate that it got an adaptation.
This is such an amazing drama. Most of all, I was deeply impressed by the humanism telling us that compassion, solidarity, and love will save this messy world.
That hit
D e e p
I am Pawan I think if you read the webtoon for it you would most definitely be disappointed at the drama but it’s alright to say the least
Give the webtoon a try. It's way more psychological and really focuses on the desires of humans and monsters
I thought this adaptation is completely dogeshit. The effects looks cheap as hell they skipped so many of the plotpoints this is a big drop
those saying “if you’ve read the webtoon, you won’t think this show is all that”, i beg to differ. the show enhances so many awesome aspects of the manhwa in ways i didn’t expect, and although there are those that didn’t appreciate the stuff it did and things is changed/didn’t include, i’m not one of them. this show is one of the best of this year and i appreciate every single aspect of it. also, bear in mind that it’s a 10 episode drama and the story isn’t over yet.
Webtoon = Suspense, Horror, Thriller
Netflix = K-drama
hell yeah😂😂😂
This isn’t necessarily a Kdrama this one is based on Manwha which is Korean ver of manga with a suspense, horror, and thriller aspect as well
@@nantenin123 omg the lack of text interpretation 🙄
you won’t get the purpose of the story unless you read the webtoon
Sadly this isn't true.. the netflix series have another story line.. i saw all the episodes and its pretty trash :(
Not at all the Netflix show is only relevant for the first episode after that it kind of takes it own path and branches out to a cleche K-drama
@@Titanpro7 I'd say as a drama on its own if the webtoon wasn't a thing its actually pretty good, but since it's based on the webtoon and of course if you read it, I think a lot of people would be disappointed, I personally thought it was pretty okay despite the plot being changed, expect like the first 2 episodes but I was glad they kept a lot of the characters from the original. What didn't sit with me was the lack of monsters screen time, in the webtoon it of course revolved around it but in the drama it took like a the walking dead turn where they stop showing the zombies/monsters at some point and just focus on people turning against each other or just focusing on the character relationships
@@zuzanna7631 the webtoon also have alot of drama and times where there is no monsters lmao.. but im not defending the series its just the series have a nice idea but the process is weak af. the webtoon has a good balance between drama scenes and monster scenes.. They just made bad choices.. How many dialogues has the protagonist? lmao like 4? the script is so trash sadly.. And of course i know some may like this series and thats good but cmon i see some people be like: "OMG THIS IS THE BEST SERIES OF 2020 IS SO GOODDDD" like what? lmao korea give us parasite and alot of nice movies and series but this is barely mid.. btw they spend USD$2.4 million per episode and rn is the most expensive drama adaptation costing. With all that being said is trash maybe if they didn't have all those resources and important people doing the series maybe it would reach a 6/10. it's a shame it could have been a good series
@@Titanpro7 it really does have a lot of potential, but as said the execution wasn't the best, it's not an entirely bad series on its own, but it's not something I would personally rewatch over and over, and what I mean was that yeah there were parts when there were no monsters at all in the webtoon, but I still felt like it was lacking in the adaptation, and the way they just got rid of the protein monster was unexpected, I can't remember what happened to him in the webtoon since it's been some time since I read it but I'm sure he didn't go down like that
I just finished watching the live action on Netflix. Coming from someone who read the webtoon for years (as well as the Author's previous work, "Bastard") I would say that the first 4 episodes did a pretty good job of representing the webtoon. However after that, it went off track from the webtoon I believe because they started production at the same time of when the webtoon was still ongoing and not yet complete, so they had to come up with their own plot development. They changed some of the character relationships, who died when, how they died, what their powers were, etc., Honestly, i didn't really know how to feel about it some of it. I will say that I did like the addition of the firefighter lady, cuz she wasn't in the webtoon. Also how in the webtoon the ex-cop was changed into a gangster/hitman. But I DID NOT like was the smart guy's younger sister. In webtoon, she was quiet and honestly didn't add much to the plot as other characters, but in the live action that girl was SUPER annoying and rude for no reason. Also, sometimes the placement of music was .. off. Like, the Imagine Dragons song. The webtoon is still WAAAAAY better and I encourage any one who hasn't already to read it. However, I will say the live action did a pretty ok job (especially at the beginning and the scary scenes actually did scare me). As compared to other dramas I've seen that were adapted from webtoons, manga, etc Sweet Home was one of the better ones.
I thought sweet home EN was a translation of the original korean version which was about 2 months slower than the korean version
If you liked bastard and sweet home check out pigpen by the same author its fantastic!
I don’t know why this can be in top 10 of Netflix instead of Alice in Borderlands
Alice in Borderland is so good and Im so happy to hear a Season 2 is coming :)
omg preachhhhh
because...it's an adaptation of a series that has 2.3 million subscriptions on *just* the EN version alone?
I feel like this could’ve been a great show but everything the show portrayed was made very poorly. It’s almost like they were on a low budget and tried to put most of it into the monsters instead of the story itself. The reason the WEBTOON was so good was because it allowed us to connect and sympathize for many things that happen to the mc. An example of this is it shows us why the mc was living alone and why he wanted to kill himself. In the show all it did was show he was living alone wanting to kill himself for no reason. It didn’t allow us to try to relate or connect to the mc in any way, you can’t even feel sympathy for him because you don’t even know what’s wrong. It’s almost like they try to speed run the story.
It actually shows more about him later if you actually watch all of it and they kept it the same as the webtoon
Just like The God of Highschool
Tbh it gives webtoons a bad rap when its extremely rushed. I always talked about sweet home being one of the best webtoons and then I see they made a live action and my reaction was like it might be good because of the world but tbh its probably gonna be shit if you didn't read the webtoon. Like it won't make sense for many of the characters we see.
@@doomedshadow7501 I think it’ll be a good drama IF you haven’t read the webtoon. I read the webtoon and I’m disappointed.
I get where you are all coming from but I was like that at 1st and then I gave it a chance, granted it wasnt the masterpiece that the webtoon was but the actors and actresses gave it their all and I felt some emotions from a lot of the scenes
@@eureka7876 no I didn't read the webtoon before watching this and I really don't like it
loved the show enjoyed it more than anything Netflix has released in years hoping for a season 2
I watched six episodes expecting the show to become any good since it has potential. Holy shit is it boring. The mc doesn't talk at all yet nearly 90% of the dialogue in this show serves no purpose.
Edit: started reading the webcomic since it had to be somewhat good or Netflix wouldn’t want a show of it. Not so far yet, but it is way better. The thug guy actually talks and has a personality.
Edit edit: The webcomic has a way faster pace. Up till now, around the first time seeing the Macgyver guy, all characters have been interesting and the monsters aren’t limited by some CGI budget worth 50 moldy bread coupons. If you think that the series was disappointing to say the least, I recommend trying out the webcomic instead.
Thanks for giving the webtoon a shot!
I enjoyed the show. The actors were great, a lot of fantastic images, and the monsters are super cool. That being said, the filmmakers seem to have had very little concern for continuity. People would just be in a scene out of nowhere, they'd cut to stuff that didn't match the previous action, and more than once I was like "wait, what just happened?" The jarring jump cuts didn't seem purposeful, but more so that perhaps certain things weren't shot or maybe there was no budget for pick-ups and reshoots. All that being said, the show is entertaining and definitely worth a watch. Just don't get caught up on some of the hiccups, and embrace the over-the-top moments.
the jumpcuts were annoying as hell, it was like they were either trying to fill time or explain something backward which confused me. sometimes, linear plot development works better. like austin said, sometimes it's too chaotic.
I noticed this as well and had to rewatch previous episodes thinking I had missed something...glad I wasn't the only one😂
as someone who read the webtoon, i definitely have a bias toward the webtoon version of the story, but i actually loved a lot of the changes they made. i loved the fire fighter lady and the brother sister relationship had a lot more depth. sort of meh on the ending and how they changed the "gangsters" character. i found the end of the webtoon more satisfying and there were a couple of cool moments i missed, but overall i still liked it! even though i already knew who was going to die i still cried lol.
where can i watch the undubbed version?
@Pareidolia Ikr. She left so easily when the outside world was supposed to be teeming with monsters.
dude like why would you like the gangster when he wasnt even a gangster in the webtoon at all
@Pareidolia to be honest i didn't really like what they did with her story and plot line, but personally I liked her as a character. that could also just be because i'm biased bc she's a hot badass lady lmao
@@sepheverett1916 that's why i said the change was meh. i like him in the webtoon way way better, but seeing as they are expanding the story i'll have to wait to see what they do with his character to judge whether i really like him or not.
Its kinda disappointing that they didn’t based so much on webtoon. Some episode and characters are fine but some are huge change mostly the ending
So I give it 5/10 this series
2/10 for me. This show was a garbage.
6/10 , since the monsters were cool
Lmao, is it really that bad? I kinda liked it, then again, I haven't read the mahnwa
I just binge watched the whole thing and Holy shit, it was actually really good to me. Plus the main character didn’t have a cringe story line or personality.
The webcomic shows more of his personality and his relationship with jisu
@@kaylafairnbain8163 And his strong character growth
Rlly? The mc in the series looked insane or like he had some mental psychopathic issue. In the manhwa he was a normal kid, depressed and suicidal not mentally ill or psycho
I just finished watching it. I would definitely say that it was a bit different from what i read on Webtoon. But liked watching it anyways. The ending was also very different.
Ikr
Webtoon Ending:
Webtoon Readers: I'm happy 😭
Netflix Ending:
Webtoon Readers: WTF just happened ....
But yeah the Netflix Ending made more sense coz there is no actual safe camp like the one shown in the Webtoon coz no one knows who will turn into a monster
@@eshikarnikam1426 That's the point. The ending was simply just Hyun's desire playing out in his head. Yk finding them and being with them was his desire. It never actually happened in the real world. Just in the fake one the virus made for him after revealing his desire.
Dude I'm amazed at how close but different it is, it's like a fresh POV of the story I read, if this was 2016 still I'd never believe this was releasing
I loved the webtoon and definitely loved the show and how almost all of the characters and monsters were portrayed! My only concerns were
-They took a lot out of Sang Wook’s (the gangster) and Jisoo’s (bass player) characters, making them more like supportive characters. I felt they took a lot of Sang Wook’s heroic characteristics and gave them to Yi Kyung (the firefighter)
-I felt like the focus on Monster’s was completely gone by the end of the season. Like they just kind of vanished by the end. Versus in the comic, the apartment was being swarmed at the end. I know they’re deviating from the comic, but I felt that is was a drastic change.
I agree. Tbh it kind of felt like the main character was Yi Kyung rather than Hyun su.
Thank you for reviewing this one Austin! Would have never heard about this if you hadn't reviewed it :) I will definitely check this one out, it sounds like it's going to be right up my alley
I'm half way through this and man it's just so dam entertaining which is what ultimately matters in the end , I loved the mix of ultra violence and slapstick , great review sir
The thing I really appreciate with this series is how each person who changes into a monster takes on the form of their deepest desire.
This why Austin is my fav reviewer he watches everything and really fast
Great script with great delivery and it keeps you on the edge of your seat while still being somewhat relatable
One of the best South Korean series this year!
Damn great script? Best of the year?? If thats true the korean series are pretty wack this year
That glasses and flannel shirt dude?? His face changed TWICE throughout the first 9 episodes. He doesn’t react to anything differently. Same with gangster man. I don’t know how hardened a person you are, you don’t just NOT react to something trying to rat you. Dialogue was fine, I guess. But the delivery from A LOT of characters were lacking in variety
@@hughnguyen9831 nah man the script is wack too but i mean that dude with glasses have like 4 dialogues and the other dude was supposed to act hard so that why they do the no emotion thing or hard to impress.. But in the series they never show some of the true feelings of the characters basically the idea of the series was good but the procees is too weak.. Like they just need to go with 5 "main" characters and thats it.. but no they ended up doing some weird shit.. and its funny i think the dog have more screen time and dialogues than the mf protagonist (monster guy) lmao
Only thing I hated was that same song that would play after every dramatic scene
Read the manwha and now they made a live adaptation I think imma peep this also.... nice review as always Austin 💪🏾
The series almost turned out to be an DC universe when the evil boy at the end talk about human revolution, i think haha
I watched all epics yesterday with my sons. We couldn't stop watching each epic. So we,all together stayed all night. It was awesome. From Korea
This show is awesome. Its creative, original, story, and visual is another level. Really appreciated the acting as well.
Confusing, incoherent and lack of continuity and spacial coherence. This is what i think of this show.
After watching all of it i feel like i watched some sort of pre-release edit of the show, there's time skips, there's teleporting characters, it's all over the place.
Be interesting to see season 2. I'm unfamiliar with the source material, but decided to marathon it. It was good.
The effects sometimes seemed fantastic. Other time it felt off but most of the time I liked it quite a bit. Though I will say to be sure we know there isn't exactly tons of money to burn on this, so it was impressive for budget.
It was also made in like 5 months. Pretty impressive.
Also definitely read the Webtoon comic (you can only read 1 chapter a day, don't worry, just go to zahard.top or mangakakalot.com to read it all at once) it is a hell of a lot better and creepy as shit.
PLSSS read the webtoon it is so much more better and have more depth to the different characters mostly hyun and mostly you wouldn't see the butchered version of some of the characters in the webtoon like the gangster which is totally not a gangster in the comic at all and the sister which is supposed to be a child not a full fucking grown up
Well made and thought out review! You seriously should have like at least 3 million subs man, actually I can easily see you hosting a show on a major network your very well spoken, have a very likeable personality and I just love listening to your reviews. Keep up the fantastic work!
For a $30 million budget the CGI effects are damn good imo.

@Pareidolia at its first use I was like "okay weird song choice but I fucks with it" by the 3rds I was in Los and cringing

glad you reviewing Korean related shows on Netflix. Been waiting for you to watch 'sweet home' , love this show and looking forward to seeing season 2.
I was waiting for this video because I am Soo much curious for the show...
I thought they did a Pretty good job wit the series I love the Webtoon! Would love a Animated series for it one day and I hope for a s2 for Netflix as well
I would only recommend this people who will after watching this read the story. Big plot points are skipped and for me I lost a lot of empathy for most of the characters but by reading the story afterwards it gives more clarity on what's going on as well as more details of things that are overlooked in this adaptation
I read the entire Webtoon and I liked it a lot so when I heard it was gonna be on Netflix I was on the fence about it so I’m really hoping it lives up to its original webtoon
I'm waiting on the appearance of the protein man
@@thatguypadro6141 he’s in it
It does not
Honrstly there were just WAY too many unnecessary and bad changed from the webtoon for me to enjoy it. Jisu was hardly relevant like she was supposed to be. In fact, wook (mob guy), jisu, and Hyun were the "3 best friend MCs" in the webtoon and...why did they remove that?? They replaced mob man in the plot line with the firefighter and it was just so disappointing since he was a LOT of peoples favorite character from the webtoon. And what about Maria game??? (Spoiler) it was literally Hyun's desire through the majority of the story until the end! It played a major role for his character as well as humor and it was how he connected to Hyuk (smart glasses guy). Also I'm not sure why they changed Wook so much? He was never a mon guy, everyone just called him that and he would correct them. It was supposed to be funny:/. He even already had a backstory in the webtoon (spoilers) connected with those 3 convicts. *sigh* I feel like they took the subtle parts of the webtoon that got people to love it in the first place and just removed them all
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss that what I was thinking
Been reading and awaiting updates from excruciating cliffhangers for over two years. But I'll still say that the Manhwa was way, way better. A single panel alone, even reading it, is just horrifying and creepy, and how they managed to give jumpscares still baffles me.
My favorite part was imagine dragons playing every other episode and I swear to god they played the song, then a few sences later the song without the lyrics.
I just finish this show. Hopefully they get renew for next season
Knew nothing about the source material going into this show. I am addicted....love Sweet Home so much! Can't wait to check out the webtoon.
this draws you in as each episode is watched, unexpectedly good.
I loved it, not normally a fan of this genre, but it had a great cast, and the story was good too, for a drama made in the middle of a pandemic, they did a fantastic job! It was highly entertaining. And great monsters XD
This series effin sucks. Been on my phone the whole time. Watching it and trying to finish coz i already started. The feeling sucked. No story development. No likeable characters. Even the leading man. I wasnt invested in. This whole series can fit in one episode. Final act when things starting to get interesting and had action was too short. I think people just loved ot coz people addicted to korean nowadays. Alice in borderland much much much better.
This is very well made. Not a fan of horror but I cannot stop watching. Great acting and characters draws my attention to this Sweet Home series.
Great succinct review, with superb detail, thankyou.
I love it, I was thoroughly entertained! Completely different than any other series I’ve seen, I was not expecting this series to be this great, absolutely love it!
It's a nice show that seems to be inspired from sweet home than adapted from it. They ruined so many characters. And somehow the main character shifted from Hyun to the (originally non-existent) firefighter Yi-kyung. As a fan of the webtoon, I was excited for the show but got disappointed. I never expected for the show to follow the webtoon to the T but...sigh
You've convinced me after only 1:38 of your review. I'm gonna check it out.
I'm really enjoying this series but the CGI is absolutely atrocious, it ruins the show for me as it takes me out of the story. I wish they'd just done practical effects. Still, it's a fun show.
This adaptation is a great effort and if everyone really liked it i am glad you got to know about this ! BUT if possible read the webtoon first i would really recommend that !
I heard of this show and my buddy at work said its really crazy. I will check out this sometime for sure. Sounds very interesting.
You should read the webtoon as well, it’s crazy
@@crayon_logic444 Might have to if I like it.
idk why everyone is shitting on the imagine dragon song, it wasn't even that bad lol. I dont see how that would supposedly "ruin" a fight scene tbh
This series is the greatest surprise for me in 2020. WOW It's amazing. If they can keep this up from just seeing the first 3 episodes.. This show will be huge. It's like Sam Raimi 20 years ago, but better! I'm just in awe that a show like this even exhists and really open the door for way more potential in future series that I see are now possible.
Let me just say that I HATED how they all refused to help eachother and prevent death of the others. They all stood there and watched the guy on the elevator slowly get killed when in reality if they all jumped on the zombie they could’ve got him off the guy. Situations like this really reflect how selfish people can be
I liked it. It deviated from the Webtoon delightfully and an insight into other characters was nice. I do wish Hyun was more focused on though. I could recall so many moments of Hyun fighting himself in the moment but not many in the series.
Also, while I enjoy the additions, the subtractions... Eh. Three big ones for me are the idol guy, Crew Crew, and Maria in the Sky. Crew Crew and Maria imo were really important regarding the relationships between Hyun and Jisu and Hyuk. And I just liked the idol guy (also known as the guy with a large face).
All in all, I like it a lot, but I would really like to see and anime that stays true to the Webtoon.
So...I had read the Webtoon since it had been released, since I also read the author's other Webtoon, Bastard. I went in expecting it to be an entirely different story with the same characters and world, and that's pretty much what I got. I watched the first episode with a friend, so it was actually pretty refreshing to be surprised with him when I thought I knew what was happening. I watched the rest alone. In the beginning, though rushed af, it actually kept pretty close to the original comic with some added scenes that differentiated it but didn't ruin it. That somewhat made me more open to the later split from the canon timeline. I really really hated how they portrayed the ex-cop and added the Firefighter lady seemingly only to take all of his best qualities away from him. But as I viewed the show as more of an alternate timeline, I didn't hate most of it. It didn't give you much of a chance to develop emotional connections to the characters, and those chances it did give you were entirely different from the Webtoon, save for the little sister having a crush on Hyun where they gave them more interaction so it kind of made more sense. If you go in having read the Webtoon, you already have an emotional connection to the characters, you will feel the emotional aspects they would have wanted you to. If you did not, you'll just think it's shit. So, basically what I'm saying, is make like a Homestuck and watch this as a doomed session timeline so that you might actually enjoy it. Also, I don't watch a lot of shows or movies with CGI, so I was actually genuinely impressed by how true to form the monsters were, especially the blind monster, some of the scenes with that were absolutely chilling.
I watched it back to back and this show is emotionally exhausting but a good show. Somehow it doubles as a show i love but wouldn’t recommend.
And since its all in one building, they could’ve all died since there was barely any protection between them and the monsters upstairs.
And some of the cgi looked like claymation 🤦🏽♂️
And it’s annoying when characters fight for everything and it all goes to waste in the end.
Boring show. Episode 1-6 is basically the same thing. Them being in the same complex. U can literally miss 5 episodes and u won’t miss much lol. Episode 1 till the final episode you could literally explain them in one sentence.
The netflix adaptation was mid up until ep 7/8 and the last 2 episodes were dogshit. There were a million issues and mess ups on the writers part but the acting carried the show and the effects were nice. Id say a 5/10 but accounting for my dissapointment as a massive fan of the webtoon i give it a 2/10
The webtoon series is a complete masterpiece. When I heard that it was getting an actual series, I was a little disappointed that it was going to be live action, however I am impressed by what South Korea has done with the show and I'm only two episodes in. I still think the whole thing should've just been an anime with the same art style as the webtoon series.
so 3 days later, opinions?
I never read the manga but I thought the show was great. I totally agree they were self aware of the cheesiness at times but I definitely leaned into it and I'm glad I did because the characters were really interesting and lovable. I don't want to spoil the ending for people reading but I was crying from like episode 8 to maybe 15 minutes before the last episode ended and then that last 15 minutes I was just mad they stopped the season there.
Absolutely love season 1 really enjoyed the characters and the many different look of the monsters hopefully season 2 gets even crazier
I think this series would be good for perople who didnt read the webtoon, but for a person who read the webtoon, I felt a lil dissapointed with the lack of backstory and development of some of the characters. Especially when it came to the mosters and how they became that way. 😭
I am a fan of the webtoon and I like the live action, although I still find the WEBTOON more creepy. However, I’m glad they made the live action somewhat different from the WEBTOON because I want some suspense.
I love sweethome. Y'all should watch Arthdal Chronicles for another korean show. It's so underrated but it's a hidden gem.
Austin , Watch " *ATTACK* *ON* *TITAN* " anime 👍👍.
The actor is portrated as firefighter is the well-known and the former left-hand professional boxer in Korea, and it is really fit for that role that perform the difficult action scene.
Guys I'm watching the first episode and it is NOT epic and shot well, the monsters are cheesy and the acting seems dull atm..
This does the webtoon no justice? Does it get better? Cause I'm so close to not continuing with how bad the opening episode is...
I live how the series starts to completely drift away from the actual story and end in a completely bizarre way . Over here changing there abilities and crap.
Perfect review 10/10 🤨
Two of my favourite shows this year came out within a week lol, Netflix bringing the greatness.
Netflix needs to take down those Netflix films about Jesus and Christianity they ruined it and they are literally crazy for doing that.
@@johnalexisroman-ortiz3834 bruh
I kinda feel bad for that blob monster who saved the kid.
Spoiler alert: the blob is actually a kid in the manga who's innocent desire is just to pee. Coz he's just holding it in. Her mother hid him in the closet coz there's a monster outside.
Was it changed in the series, or am i referring to a different monster? I remember that in the WEBTOON, it was a kid who was playing Hide and Seek with his mom, but she ended up dying and he became a monster because he wanted to be found. He was the one asking Hyun if he could see him. I could be wrong though.
Oh is that it ..? i forgot xD
Felt like so many random things added into the drama that were never explained...
What was the significance of the mother with the stroller turning into a monster?
What was in the briefcase that was stolen?
Who was the slime monster that saved the kid?
Soooooooooo many more questions, I don't even know where to start.....
Read the webtoon and I’m pretty sure some stuff was taken out / put in random stuff
Read the webtoon it's better. All monster have story why they become monster. The protein guy is actually always going to gym and wanted to have big muscles, the fast monster is actually an athlete wanted to be the best in running, the slime is a kid that wanted to hide from monsters. Many monsters are not yet in the show. I wish they appear. I like to see the guy that obsessed with his look actually hes character is in the show but didnt become a monster. When he become a monster he will be a giant face and ask people how did he look you need to answer hes handsome or else he will get angry and kill. Also the character that is sexually maniac is in the series but didnt get become a monster :(
And also random nosebleeds and just a few monsters. The 2nd half of the show is boring af and majority of the chars is stupid.
@@jewellesacdalan8410 the nosebleeds are a integral part of the story as they are signs of a person becoming a monster, theyre almost never random
Jesus the ending was soooooooo weird. It was truly hard to keep up.
Because of your review I watched Alice in Borderland and I DO NOT regret it. So I will check this one out too.
Thx for reviewing this show!
I really want to watch this now. Thanks mate!
The monsters interested me but other than that I was bored, I even tried turning the dubs on thinking I wasn't paying attention while reading the subs but still not enjoying the story
When the kid had to put his dog down, I nearly cried.
Just started watching it, I'm on episode 5 and this is pure insanity xD
I actually really liked the CGI in this drama actually. It kinda threw me back to old school horror vibes, which I love!
You gave it way more thought than it deserved. Nothing pisses me off more than wasting airtime like this shit show does. NOBODY reacts to anything. They're dead, but even the dead have more animation. Plus, the firefighter was completely pointless. The CGI monsters were done terribly, esp. the monster without a face. Laughable. Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves. I'm sorry for the manga fans who were screwed over.
Started watching and stopped after ep4. Can't watch the stupidity of it. There's a scene where this guy says he's gonna get out coz he thinks the monsters are gone but the very next scene he stops the woman from getting out to fetch her daughter. WTF!? Why would he do that when he too wants to get out. Then daughter got killed. And then as they scramble to close the gate the monster attacked and almost hit guy w/ glasses. The woman in hysterics screams and cries on the guy on the very same spot where the monster attacked. Cmon! Did the monster suddenly vanish, ignore or respect the noisy woman because she's grieving?
Then there's the firewoman who got caught by the monster. She escaped and a chase happen in the vents. You'll notice the openings are of the same size and so is the last where she kicked and went down. Why the f*ck didn't the monster follow her down when it can definitely fit.
This type of things ruin the whole experience. It's like watching Peninsula(train to busan part 2) all over again.
Conclusion: not recommended for logical viewers. Wait for an anime adaptation where it can do justice to the webtoon.
My fav character was the gangster. Also I didn’t realize the firefighter lady was the girl from boys over flowers. Good stuff she hot. There was a lot of characters and I felt anxious they wouldn’t be able to flesh out each character but they pulled it off.
Not gonna lie I was a bit disappointed with how it ended. Granted it was actually pretty good, but there were so many great elements that they missed. It just seemed like they skipped on the important stuff from the actual webtoon just so they could add their own plot line.
can you please spoil me some details from the webtoon and make it actually make sense to me. Cause I feel so lost after completing the series.
@@anivartani i can say story is quite different in webtoon except episode 1 in netflix version.
Omg! I started watching “History of swear words.” It was so good and funny.
I haven’t read the web toon but as a series on its own without previous backstory, I’d rate it an 8.5 out of ten. But I can imagine why people would be angry that it misses so much out of what it’s based on
