I generally like webtoon adaptations because they have great topics, “Sweet Home” is something I wouldn’t have expected to be made into a drama but it has been done and I am so happy it did.
Of course, I understand why this would be very difficult considering the budget of each episode. Of course, in retrospect, it was almost going to be impossible to unwrap the majority of the webtoon essence in 10 episodes or so, we needed at least 14 episodes to correctly explore the idea and flesh out the characters properly. I would’ve loved them to have delved even deeper to what makes a monster and why some succeed at resisting it, while they did explain the core idea, it was confusing especially at the start, I didn’t watch the webtoon so it wasn’t clear to me that the monsters differ depending on each human’s desire.Īccording to my friend Nina netizendrama), its no as easy as you’d think it is to resist monsterisation, also, in the webtoon, monsters could become human again. The fact that it does this immediately sets it apart from any other post-apocalyptic movie/drama and gives it an edge that others don’t have anymore because we’ve become so used to such ideas getting repeated in slasher Hollywood movies. They’re not aliens and not zombies, they are made of human desire and everyone becomes a manifestation of their own desire, such an interesting concept to work with, you’ll never run out of ideas with the right setting.
I also write and dream of publishing my novels one day, the core idea itself is AMAZING and can be morphed into so many things. I must admit I am jealous, I am jealous of the original webtoon writer who came up with such an interesting idea. Developing the plot from logical to ridiculous and over-the-top.
