2. Different from the Zombie Thriller Genre

Although we can call it a zombie series, SWEET HOME is slightly different from the typical zombie theme. The zombie monster characters here have many advantages compared to other zombies, as they can talk and are difficult to kill. This is what makes this series more intense for viewers compared to other zombie themes that have been presented. This is why it is more appropriate to call them monsters rather than zombies.

There are many scenes that make viewers feel what the characters in SWEET HOME feel when they have to find a way to survive, even when they face the monsters.

3. Perfect Visual Effects

The CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) effects in this series also produce perfect visual effects, especially the depiction of the monsters. Not to mention the actors and actresses like Lee Jin Wook, who plays Pyeon Sang Wook, this mysterious and cold-blooded guy is portrayed so well by an actor who previously succeeded in his role in the drama VOICE. Later, the audience will also be presented with Lee Si Young's perfect muscles, which also greatly support her role as Seo Yi Kyung in SWEET HOME.

What will be the outcome of the survival efforts of Cha Hyun Soo, Pyeon Sang Wook, Seo Yi Kyung, Lee Eun Hyun, and the other apartment residents? Don't miss SWEET HOME, which will be aired on Netflix on December 18, 2020, at 15:00 WIB. Before that, let's watch the trailer below together!
