Anticipating the Thrills: Top 10 Exciting Expectations for Sweet Home Season 3

Article Overview

Sweet Home season 3 will premiere in 2024, with a shorter wait compared to the three-year gap between seasons 1 and 2.

In season 3, Hyun-su's character is expected to have a significantly increased presence compared to his absence in season 2. Additionally, Eun-hyeok's reappearance as a monster and the development of the monsters will be a focal point in the upcoming season.

The confirmation of Sweet Home season 3 is cause for excitement as fans anticipate the continuation of Hyun-su and his friends' stories. Season 2 introduced new characters while revisiting beloved figures from the show's beginning, offering clues to what may unfold in the anticipated third season. With the third season now confirmed, the unresolved cliffhangers in the finale of season 2, including Ui-myeong's identity and Eun-hyeok's return, hint at the challenges the characters will face when the show returns. Season 3 holds promise as the stage for all the storylines and characters introduced in season 2 to converge and evolve.

10. A Shorter Wait For Sweet Home Season 3

Season 2 Premiered Three Years After Season 1

Perhaps the most thrilling news about Sweet Home season 3 is that fans won't have to wait three years for the story to continue. The upcoming season is set to premiere in 2024, meaning the wait for the next chapter of Hyun-su’s journey will be a maximum of one year. Sweet Home was renewed for seasons 2 and 3 after the huge success of the first season, which is why the return of the show is not far off. It's unclear if seasons 2 and 3 were filmed back to back, but the show left off with many cliffhangers and major reveals that will finally be addressed in 2024.

9. More Screen Time For Song Kang’s Hyun-su

Hyun-su missed three episodes in season 2

Season 2 of Sweet Home faced a major issue with the absence of Hyun-su. Song Kang’s character, Hyun-su, had very limited screen time in the second season, vanishing for a year in the show's universe and reappearing only after three episodes. However, now that Hyun-su is back and has reunited with Eun-yu, it seems unlikely that the character will be sidelined again. While the introduction of new characters has made the series more of an ensemble, there should be no justification for pushing Hyun-su to the sidelines once more. Despite the intricate worldbuilding of the show, it is undeniable that Sweet Home revolves around the story of Hyun-su.

8. Eun-hyeok’s Return As A Monster In Sweet Home

Eun-hyeok is alive after all

Three years after the conclusion of Sweet Home season 1, the fate of Eun-hyeok after the Green Home building was destroyed has finally been unveiled in season 2's finale. It is now confirmed that Eun-hyeok underwent a monstrous transformation and managed to survive the devastation. Furthermore, it appears that Eun-hyeok has advanced to the cocoon stage of a monster's evolution. Although Eun-hyeok's transformation and entry into the cocoon stage are depicted in the webtoon, the character's role is somewhat limited thereafter. However, this is expected to change in Sweet Home season 3, as Eun-hyeok's return has been positioned as a significant sequel hook.

7. The Next Step Of The Monsters’ Evolution In Sweet Home

Dr. Lim's research continues

Season 2 of Sweet Home delved into Dr. Lim's quest to unravel the mystery of the monster curse and develop a cure. Despite his brilliance, Dr. Lim's questionable motives and willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve his objectives raise concerns. During his search for the hidden vaccines in his original lab, he stumbled upon multiple monsters in the form of cocoons, indicating their evolution. This hints at the possibility of encountering larger and more formidable creatures in Sweet Home season 3, with Eun-hyeok potentially being one of these evolved monsters.

6. Eun-yu Reuniting With Her Brother

How will Eun-yu react to his return?

Eun-yu's relentless search for her brother dominated much of season 2. Despite the odds, she clung to the hope that Eun-hyeok was still alive, even entertaining the idea that he was the enigmatic guardian lurking in the shadows. Ultimately, it was revealed that the protector was actually Hyun-su, not her brother. However, Eun-hyeok is indeed alive and is likely to eventually reunite with his sister. The reunion, however, may not be a joyous occasion, as Eun-hyeok's transformation into a potential villain complicates matters. The characters' varied responses to the curse leave uncertainty about whether Eun-hyeok will be able to control his newfound powers.

5. More Reveals About How Yi-kyung’s Daughter’s Powers Work

"The Kid" is the show's most mysterious character

The final two episodes of Sweet Home season 2 provided crucial insight into the monster kid, but there is still much to uncover about Yi-kyung’s daughter. The Kid is believed to be the first person born as a monster, and her abilities are unlike any other. While the webtoon Sweet Home has a counterpart for Yi-kyung’s daughter, the show has already taken a different path from the source material. Sweet Home season 3 must address how the Kid’s powers function and why the curse has manifested so uniquely within her.

4. What Sang-won Has Planned For Dr. Lin

The doctor has been captured

Season 3 of Sweet Home has unveiled the shocking revelation that Sang-won, Yi-kyung’s husband, has been alive all along. In a complex twist, it was revealed that Sang-won was the one impersonating Ui-myeong in the first season, and he is now inhabiting Sang-wook’s body. Motivated by his desire for revenge against Dr. Lin, who used him as a test subject and subjected him to torture, Sang-won has embarked on a sinister path. His ultimate goal appears to involve transforming everyone into neo-humans, which he views as the natural progression of human evolution, rather than something to be feared or opposed.

3. Hyun-su & The Others Learning About Ui-myeong’s True Identity

Ui-myeong and Sang-won are the same person

If Ui-myeong's identity is perplexing for viewers, it will be even more jolting for the characters. Hyun-su knows that Ui-myeong has been inhabiting Sang-wook's body since the collapse of the Green Home building, but he is unaware that this individual is actually Sang-won, Yi-kyung's husband. Although Hyun-su may not have had extensive interaction with Sang-won, he became one of Yi-kyung's closest friends. Furthermore, Hyun-su played a paternal role in the life of Yi-kyung's daughter, who is also Sang-won's child.

2. Yi-kyung’s Daughter Meeting Her Father Sang-won

They are both very powerful

The second season of Sweet Home chose not to delve too deeply into the revelation that Ui-myeong is Sang-wook, the Kid's father. However, it is clear that this will become a central plot point in the upcoming third season. With Yi-kyung presumed to be deceased, Sang-won is now the Kid's only remaining biological family member. It is hard to envision them forming a strong family bond, especially considering Yi-kyung's daughter is still coming to terms with the world around her and lacks connections or friends apart from Hyun-su. Meanwhile, Sang-won is entirely dedicated to establishing neo-humans as the new world leaders and may not even care about having a daughter.

1. Wha Hyun-su Will Do Next In Sweet Home

Is Hyun-su's monster self in control now?

With the way season 2 concluded, it seems highly probable that Hyun-su will play a more significant role in season 3. However, predicting the character's next moves remains challenging. Having perfected his transformation, Hyun-su utilized his monster abilities as a natural part of himself. Nevertheless, in episode 8 of Sweet Home season 2, Hyun-su's monstrous alter ego takes charge and even communicates with Eun-yu on his behalf. Hyun-su even jests about his own uncertainty, paving the way for a more enigmatic character in season 3.

Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of Sweet Home, I am thrilled about the upcoming third season. The shorter wait compared to the previous season is a welcome surprise, and I can't wait to see how Hyun-su's character develops. His increased presence and the exploration of his monstrous side promise an intense and captivating storyline. The return of Eun-hyeok as a monster and the focus on the monsters' evolution add even more excitement to the mix.

The confirmation of Sweet Home season 3 brings a sense of relief and anticipation. The unresolved cliffhangers from season 2, particularly Ui-myeong's identity and Eun-hyeok's return, have left fans eagerly waiting for answers. The convergence of all the storylines and characters introduced in season 2 sets the stage for an epic third season. The shorter wait time only adds to the excitement, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in 2024.
