Sreen Home Apartments, once a bustling hive of residents, becomes a claustrophobic battleground when a mysterious phenomenon triggers humanity’s darkest desires, birthing grotesque monsters from within. Enter Cha Hyun-su, a suicidal teenager plagued by grief, who unexpectedly finds himself the reluctant leader of a ragtag group of survivors trapped within the crumbling complex.
The outside world dissolves into a desolate wasteland infested with nightmarish creatures fueled by primal urges and warped versions of their former selves. Inside, alliances shift like the shadows cast by the monsters. Fear, distrust, and the ever-present threat of transformation gnaw at the dwindling vestiges of humanity. Hyun-su, haunted by his own inner demons, grapples with a burgeoning monstrous aspect even as he fights to protect his newfound family.
As they navigate the labyrinthine corridors and barricaded floors, Hyun-su and his companions stumble upon secrets buried deep within Green Home’s history. Unsettling truths about the building’s architect and the nature of the “Great Collapse” that unleashed the monsters begin to surface, forcing them to question everything they thought they knew about the world and themselves.
The struggle for survival is waged on multiple fronts. Brutal battles against grotesque monstrosities, desperate hunts for resources, and the constant gnawing paranoia of betrayal push the survivors to their physical and emotional limits. Each victory comes at a cost, each death a stark reminder of the fragility of their existence.
Through it all, a glimmer of hope emerges. Bonds of camaraderie forge in the fires of adversity, revealing acts of selfless sacrifice and unwavering loyalty. Hyun-su, wrestling with his own monstrous urges, discovers a unique ability to control his transformation, becoming a symbol of hope and a powerful weapon against the encroaching darkness.
Season 1 of Sweet Home doesn’t offer easy answers. It’s a harrowing descent into the depths of human despair, where the line between monster and man blurs. But amidst the bleakness, it also ignites a spark of resilience, showing that even in the face of utter annihilation, the human spirit can still cling to hope and forge connections that transcend the monstrous forms they inhabit.
The season ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the fate of Green Home and its remaining residents hanging precariously in the balance. As the outside world descends further into chaos and Hyun-su’s internal struggle intensifies, Season 2 promises to push the survivors to their very limits, raising even more unsettling questions about what it truly means to be human in a world overrun by monsters.
