Netflix's drama 'Sweet Home,' regarded as a flagship of the 'K-Creature' genre, has concluded its four-year journey, drawing diverse reactions from viewers. Amid mixed reviews on its conclusion, the drama entered the competition by ranking 7th on Netflix's 'Top 10 Most Watched TV Shows' according to FlixPatrol.
Season 3, released on the 19th, follows the final struggles of survivors in a world where humans turn into monsters driven by their desires, continuing from the releases of Season 1 in December 2020 and Season 2 in December last year.
The storyline brings together half-monster Song Kang, 'special infected' Lee Jin Wook seeking a new host, 'new human' Lee Do Hyun devoid of emotions, and his desperately searching sister Go Min Si at the survivor base 'Stadium.'
Viewers praised the performances of Song Kang, Lee Do Hyun, and Go Min Si, with many calling it an opportunity to rediscover the strength of young stars. There is a consensus that Season 3 is an improvement over the critically panned Season 2.
Screen Rant noted, "Season 3 fortunately adds depth to the characters, especially Song Kang, addressing many of Season 2's issues."
However, some expressed disappointment with the complex plot and ending, criticizing the abrupt disappearance of major characters and the impression of a rushed conclusion. NME also offered criticism, saying, "While slightly better than its predecessor, it failed to make the story clearer and more engaging. Several turning points devolved into chaos."
Despite the mixed reviews, 'Sweet Home's' global popularity suggests it will continue to perform well. This is evidenced by rising ratings on various review sites.
For instance, Rotten Tomatoes' audience score increased from 56% immediately after release on the 19th to 59% by the 21st.
