In the finale, Dr. Lim finds herself trapped in MH-1’s lab, face to face with Ui-myeong, the original test subject, who astonishingly reveals himself to be Sang-won from Season 1. In Sweet Home Season 2, viewers encounter a sickly and unresponsive version of Sang-won in an incubation tub in the lab, where he appears pale, emaciated, and covered in scars and tubing. Although his role is uncertain, he is clearly linked to Dr. Lim and the government’s monstrous experiments.
In the K-drama's finale, the truth is finally revealed, bringing a major shift to the outlook of Season 1, Ah-yi, and even future Season 3. Dr. Lim returns to the destroyed lab and encounters a hooded figure, whom he follows to MH-1’s room. As flashbacks unfold, it is revealed that Dr. Lim was involved in some disturbing activities within the lab, including sawing off someone’s hand and taking blood samples.
Fans quickly realize that the hooded figure is Ui-myeong, who expresses concern that Dr. Lim has forgotten about him and insists on greeting an old friend. Utilizing his powers, he reveals Sang-won trapped in a vat of liquid, which then shatters and falls onto Dr. Lim.
Sweet Home Season 2 reveals that Ui-myeong has been Sang-won all along. He gave himself up as the first test subject after noticing his monster symptoms.
The Sang-won reveal will change the K-drama
The recent revelation about Sang-won has completely transformed the perspective on Sweet Home, taking us back to Season 1. In the initial season, Ui-myeong arrives at Green Home accompanied by a group of thugs, using them for his own gain in his quest to discover a more unique breed of monsters, such as Han-soo.
Followers of the show may recall Ui-myeong's account of his past, where he admits to willingly submitting himself to government experimentation. Despite countless attempts to remove the monster inside him through surgery and amputation, it proved impossible to eradicate.
He soon comes to the realization that he himself is the monster. With his unique abilities, he can transfer himself from one host body to another. The main focus of Ui-myeong is his desire for a new world order where monsters hold the power, with special breeds like himself and Han-soo leading the way. This makes him an antagonist in Sweet Home.
This revelation also changes the perception of Ah-yi, as it is revealed that she is actually the daughter of Yi-kyung and Sang-won. Yi-kyung was pregnant during Season 1, and in Season 2 it is revealed that the baby was born as a monster, the first of her kind with the ability to self-heal and activate the monster gene within humans.

As a Gen Z fan, I'm thrilled about the new season of Sweet Home. The show's second season has taken an unexpected turn with the revelation that Sang-won is actually Ui-myeong, the original test subject. This twist has left fans with more questions than ever before, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in future seasons.
The revelation that Sang-won is Ui-myeong changes the entire perspective of the show. In the first season, Ui-myeong was portrayed as a mysterious and dangerous figure, but now we know that he is actually a victim of the government's experiments. This makes me feel sympathy for him, and I'm curious to see how his story will develop in the future.
