Production

Development

Director Lee Eung-bok "roughly" knew the ending of the Line Webtoon on which the series is based before the later released its last chapter in July 2020, though he decided to "differ a bit from the webtoon because [they're] showing on different platforms."[14] Ultimately, the live-action adaptation deviates dramatically from the original.

The series spent most of its budget, with each episode costing $2.7 million.[15] Choreographer Kim Seol-jin and contortionist Troy James were chosen to record the monsters' movements through motion capture.[16]

Casting

Although filming had already started, Netflix officially announced the series' lineup on December 18, 2019, with Song Kang, Lee Jin-wook and Lee Si-young in lead roles, and Lee Do-hyun, Kim Nam-hee, Go Min-si, Park Gyu-young, Go Youn-jung, Kim Kap-soo and Kim Sang-ho as part of the ensemble cast.[17][18]

Lee Eung-bok revealed that, during Song Kang's audition, the actor reminded him of Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands: "an image of someone who has a pure and innocent soul but is holding a spear in his hand."[16] The actor was recommended to Lee Eung-bok by the director of Netflix's Love Alarm which propelled him to fame in August 2019.[19] Lee Si-young's character does not appear in the original webtoon but the director "wanted to add a female character who can pull off really cool action scenes"; the actress being a former amateur boxer. She trained for six months prior to filming the series.[16] Park Gyu-young admitted that she did not have high hopes about being picked for the series but "as soon as [she] left the audition set, the director called [her] and said to leave with a script."[16]

In September 2022, actress Bibi withdraws from filming due to timing and filming schedules, and an actress replaced her role.[20]

Filming

 
Dane DiLiegro behind the scenes of Sweet Home

Principal photography began in September 2019 and filming was completed in February 2020.[21]

Visual effects

Designers from Legacy Effects, VFX Studio Westworld and Spectral Motion, who worked on films such as the Avengers and Avatar as well as the television series Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, were recruited for Sweet Home.[22][23]

Release

On November 18, 2020, Netflix released a trailer for the series announcing that Sweet Home would premiere on December 18.[24] In June 2022, the series was picked up for two additional seasons.[4]

Reception

Viewership

Sweet Home is the first South Korean series to enter Netflix Top 10 in the United States,[14] reaching the top 3.[25] Three days after its release, the series ranked No. 1 in 8 regions and was within the Top 10 in 42 regions.[26] The show was viewed by 22 million paid subscribers worldwide in the first 4 weeks of its release and appeared in the Netflix top 10 in more than 70 countries.[27]

It was praised by viewers for its "high-quality visual effects" and "the deep human connections among the characters." However, many criticized the soundtrack which they believe did not fit with the story, as well as the lack of monsters in the latter episodes of the season. On this, director Lee Eung-bok said that "[he] know[s] some of the viewers were anticipating more gore, but [he] hope[s] they will understand why monsters were absent from some parts of our drama."[28]

Critical responses

Kavya Christopher of The Times of India gave a rating of 4/5 and said, "One does not need to be a lover of the horror genre to enjoy this series, thanks to the many underlying plots of the various characters – both big and small. The action is superb, to say the least, and the drama is endearing at various levels."[29]

Joel Keller of Decider said that "despite its flaws and a premise we've seen before, Sweet Home distinguishes itself by its setting and its monsters. We will see if the drama between the survivors will keep us watching."[30]

Pierce Conran of South China Morning Post gave a rating of 3/5, saying that "despite a breathless opening episode and some grisly fun throughout, Sweet Home does not provide much of a story for viewers to get hooked on."[31]

In another mixed review, Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting said that "what sprints out of the gate and sets up an exciting creature-filled horror series quickly comes to a slow crawl zombie apocalypse that we've seen many times before. It just swaps out the zombies for monsters."[32]

Similarly, Jonathan Wilson from Ready Steady Cut said that "Sweet Home gets off to a racing start and never really lets up, leading to a frantic, messy, but ultimately enjoyable binge-watch."[33]

EditDevelopment Edit Director Lee Eung bok roughly knew the ending of the Line Webtoon on which the series is based before the later released its last chapter in July 2020 though he decided to differ a bit from the webtoon because they re showing on different platforms 14 Ultimately the live action adaptation deviates dramatically from the original The series spent most of its budget with each episode costing 2 7 million 15 Choreographer Kim Seol jin and contortionist Troy James were chosen to record the monsters movements through motion capture 16 Casting Edit Although filming had already started Netflix officially announced the series lineup on December 18 2019 with Song Kang Lee Jin wook and Lee Si young in lead roles and Lee Do hyun Kim Nam hee Go Min si Park Gyu young Go Youn jung Kim Kap soo and Kim Sang ho as part of the ensemble cast 17 18 Lee Eung bok revealed that during Song Kang s audition the actor reminded him of Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands an image of someone who has a pure and innocent soul but is holding a spear in his hand 16 The actor was recommended to Lee Eung bok by the director of Netflix s Love Alarm which propelled him to fame in August 2019 19 Lee Si young s character does not appear in the original webtoon but the director wanted to add a female character who can pull off really cool action scenes the actress being a former amateur boxer She trained for six months prior to filming the series 16 Park Gyu young admitted that she did not have high hopes about being picked for the series but as soon as she left the audition set the director called her and said to leave with a script 16 In September 2022 actress Bibi withdraws from filming due to timing and filming schedules and an actress replaced her role 20 Filming Edit Dane DiLiegro behind the scenes of Sweet Home Principal photography began in September 2019 and filming was completed in February 2020 21 Visual effects Edit Designers from Legacy Effects VFX Studio Westworld and Spectral Motion who worked on films such as the Avengers and Avatar as well as the television series Game of Thrones and Stranger Things were recruited for Sweet Home 22 23 Release EditOn November 18 2020 Netflix released a trailer for the series announcing that Sweet Home would premiere on December 18 24 In June 2022 the series was picked up for two additional seasons 4 Reception EditViewership Edit Sweet Home is the first South Korean series to enter Netflix Top 10 in the United States 14 reaching the top 3 25 Three days after its release the series ranked No 1 in 8 regions and was within the Top 10 in 42 regions 26 The show was viewed by 22 million paid subscribers worldwide in the first 4 weeks of its release and appeared in the Netflix top 10 in more than 70 countries 27 It was praised by viewers for its high quality visual effects and the deep human connections among the characters However many criticized the soundtrack which they believe did not fit with the story as well as the lack of monsters in the latter episodes of the season On this director Lee Eung bok said that he know s some of the viewers were anticipating more gore but he hope s they will understand why monsters were absent from some parts of our drama 28 Critical responses Edit Kavya Christopher of The Times of India gave a rating of 4 5 and said One does not need to be a lover of the horror genre to enjoy this series thanks to the many underlying plots of the various characters both big and small The action is superb to say the least and the drama is endearing at various levels 29 Joel Keller of Decider said that despite its flaws and a premise we ve seen before Sweet Home distinguishes itself by its setting and its monsters We will see if the drama between the survivors will keep us watching 30 Pierce Conran of South China Morning Post gave a rating of 3 5 saying that despite a breathless opening episode and some grisly fun throughout Sweet Home does not provide much of a story for viewers to get hooked on 31 In another mixed review Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting said that what sprints out of the gate and sets up an exciting creature filled horror series quickly comes to a slow crawl zombie apocalypse that we ve seen many times before It just swaps out the zombies for monsters 32 Similarly Jonathan Wilson from Ready Steady Cut said that Sweet Home gets off to a racing start and never really lets up leading to a frantic messy but ultimately enjoyable binge watch 33 Awards and nominations EditName of the award ceremony year presented
