Produced by Netflix, it must be a masterpiece, and it has been an image that has been successfully created in recent years. Netflix gave 30 billion won for the production fee, the monster special effects are rigorous and realistic, and the director is also good at creating a tense atmosphere. In this drama, high energy ahead is a common thing. Recently watched several Korean dramas from Netflix, such as "Come on! Waikiki", "The Exorcist Noodle House" (amazing rumors) and this "Sweet Home". "Sweet Home" is adapted from the popular online comic of the same name, and the story begins with a world-weary teenager named Cha Hyun-soo. The title of the play is Sweet Home, but Cha Hyun-soo's life is not sweet at all. He was bullied at school, but his family did not stand up to protect him due to the power of the other party, and his friends did not understand him. Under multiple blows, over time, he changed from a sunny and beautiful boy to a world-weary decadent man who hid in his room and played video games every day without leaving home.
During a reluctant family outing, he had a violent conflict with his family, and the "Bump!" car accident happened. The whole family died, but he was the only one who survived. Alone, he despaired of the world and planned to commit suicide on August 25th. However, on this day, the human world undergoes earth-shattering changes. Humans have become monsters, but humans are not infected and become monsters. The reason why these humans became monsters was driven by a strong inner desire. Some say it's a curse, some say it's evolution. The first sign of turning into a monster is a nosebleed, a constant nosebleed. The most terrifying thing is that these monsters are immortal, and the only way to destroy them is to burn them to death.
The protagonist in the story, Cha Hyun-soo, was not spared and became one of the infected. It was in such an embarrassing situation that he had the desire to survive. Among the many infected, he was able to survive for 15 days, preserve his humanity, and finally transformed himself into the strongest weapon for the surviving residents. He is immortal and can recover quickly after being injured. Cha Hyun-soo’s desire changed from wanting to kill himself to wanting to protect others, and he didn’t mind being used and dispatched by the resident chief.
The biggest difference from other monster fighting dramas is that the monster world view of this drama is set. Due to the different desires of each person, the appearance of the monster after becoming a monster is also different, and the shape can be played by itself. Two of the most impressive monsters are the security guards whose heads have turned into flies. Security guards have been bullied for many years and have to be responsible for duties other than work, even cutting grass. There is a scene where he was given a stinky fish by a middle-aged ajima. When he opened the Styrofoam full of joy, swarms of flies poured out of the box. You can smell the broken fish through the screen. How stinky. After the security guard turned into a monster, he turned into a black mummified corpse whose mouth could spew flies. The first one he took the elevator to find Ajima to settle accounts. How much does the security guard mind receiving stinky fish? The whole film is full of dark humor, but there is also a little bit of human brilliance, and the dialogue is especially interesting. Cha Hyun-soo had to go through a corridor full of monsters with the two children. At that time, Cha Hyun-soo asked how old the two children were. They replied, "Eight and nine years old." Cha Hyun Soo smiled and nodded, "It's the right age to fight monsters!"
Another monster is the muscle-busting giant who murmurs "must absorb protein" all day long. It looks like a complex of Hulk and Attack. His desire was to gain muscle, because he had been ridiculed for being incompetent and weak. There are not only monsters that harm people, but also monsters that don't harm people. Humans are used to generalization, so as long as it is a monster, they will annihilate it in one fell swoop. When I saw the monster that would not harm and protect people being burned to death, I felt a pain in my heart. In the final analysis, this is a horror Korean drama that uses monsters to pack humanity. In fact, the ultimate purpose of all ghost movies and zombie movies is to explore human nature. This drama digs deeply into the dark side of human nature, so naked and bloody in front of you, it is more chilling and unbearable than the horror of monsters.
What I can't understand about this drama is why Cha Hyun Soo suddenly has the will to survive? Was it because he felt the same way when he saw the two orphans? Or did he want to do something good before he died? Or do people have the desire to survive when they can't choose their own life or death? It's up to the audience to interpret them.
