Sweet Home - Final Thoughts (Patreon)

Hey!
I've never done one of these for a show or drama but I had a few thoughts I wanted to share because I think after finishing the show my opinion has shifted with some things I've said in the earlier reactions.
- After completing the show, I change my mind about Eun-Hyeok (big bro of ballerina girl). In the first episodes he definitely showed that he lacked empathy but as time went on, he started to break in his tough face and show that he's just doing things to survive and no one else stood up to do anything.
Which brings me to a possible conclusion - the people who did nothing but sit around and complain and stuff - they didn't get infected... is it because they have no desires? The monsters only go after people with desires? Hyun is overall a good person, but he wanted to die... is it his will to continue to be good and not succumb to his desire that makes him able to stay in control over the monster?
- No one stood to do... anything... AT ALL... What was with the characters in this show?! Up until they're end, most of them sat and watched the whole time (and when someone decides to act, they die). I'd never seen that in a show before lol.
- Plot holes, lack of information, speed ramping:
- Mentioned this a few times but some "arcs" with some character information felt rushed, if they were given any to begin with. I also think that during some fight scenes or during the days of Hyun running around for them it just didn't make sense how he was making it back.
- How did Wook withstand so much damage in the beginning of the show and why was he so strong? It seems like he could've been infected from throwing people through bricks and stomping a monsters head flat.
- Why didn't they show any signs of Eun being infected like they showed all the other characters? *unless his temperature was that one 9 degrees celsius one
- Does the monster take control by keeping you in a memory like a genjutsu??? In the memory of Hyun in the hospital where the people were disappearing off of the street and the monster kept saying tell me what you desire- is that how it takes control of you?
- The MUSIC. I hated them running that same Imagine Dragons song over and over again. It was annoying, cheesy and didn't match the mood to me! BeWhy's song was tight tho!
- Jae (swordsman), Yuri? (girl that died with Wook)'s, Wook's and Mr. Han's deaths suuuuucked... She literally just panicked from killing someone without any juice in her inhaler... and the swordsman sacrificed himself... apart of god's will i'm sure he'd say. Mr Han's was the best scene in the show to me.
- Hyun's family sucks. Bullying for being nice to someone, no one stands up to this ONE scrawny guy... and he's getting people to try to end their lives like what... & the dude blames HYUN for stopping him from getting hit by a car, leaving his mom without a son and without aid?! like come on man, poor guy...it sucks that all that happened to Hyun literally for no reason at all.
- Yi Kyueng is a badass but she better write her wrongs if they do another season cause this treachery is unacceptable - can't trust the feds
Anyways, I absolutely loved the actors though! I feel we've been on an upward climb when it comes to acting in dramas lately so I'm enjoying the ride! If you have any theories or questions or comments as well, drop em!
Rating - 9/10! -- Can't get over the plot holes/rushing but I enjoyed all of it!
