Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am excited about the upcoming release of Sweet Home Season 2 on Netflix. I have been a fan of the webtoon since it was first released in 2017, and I am eager to see how the story continues.
The webtoon is a dark and suspenseful thriller that follows the story of Cha Hyun-soo, a high school student who moves to a new apartment building after his family dies in a tragic accident. In the apartment building, he discovers a group of monsters who are intent on eradicating humanity. Hyun-soo must fight for his life and the lives of his new friends against these monsters.
The webtoon is well-written and the characters are well-developed. The story is full of suspense and action, and I couldn't put it down. I am confident that the Netflix adaptation will be just as good as the webtoon, and I can't wait to see it.
