Watch the Trailer for ‘Sweet Home 2’
“Mankind is a virus, and monsters are the vaccine.” Dr. Lim’s (Oh Jung-se) chilling narration sets the tone for what audiences may expect from Sweet Home 2. The trailer opens with an unexpected outbreak of massive monsterization that has put the world into a collapse. Living with the grim reality that anybody could turn into a monster at any time, fellow humans grow suspicious of one another for fear of being infected.
Continuing from the aftermath of Sweet Home Season 1, residents of the Green Home managed to run for their lives and seek refuge in the stadium, which serves as a new settlement for survivors. While the first season sees the Green Home survivors fending off these monsters by themselves, the new season introduces The Crow Platoon, a military unit specializing in handling monsters and in charge of protecting the new settlement. As for Hyun-soo, sick and tired of shape-shifting between human and monster, dives straight to the Bamseom Emergency Bureau, hoping for some vaccine that could put an end to his half-human, half-monster situation.
Although we can expect a couple of upgraded monsters, Sweet Home 2 brings into question who the real monster is. After all, desires, controlled by fear and mistrust, are just as horrible, if not worse, than the blood-thirsty monsters preying on human beings. The upcoming season also digs deeper into the complex interests of the survivors, ultimately putting them into further conflict and dividing them. At the end of the day, Sweet Home 2 is a portrayal of just how fragile human nature is, especially when their lives are at stake.
