After a prolonged wait, Song Kang returns in the role of Cha Hyun-soo for the much-anticipated Sweet Home Season 2. In the aftermath of the initial season’s events, time has passed, and the chaos that initially engulfed the tenant building has now escalated into a global catastrophe.
The K-drama’s first season was centered on Hyun-soo following his family’s passing and his relocation to a new building. The world turns into a horrific place where people’s inner urges drive them to become vicious monsters over night. As the tenants strive to endure, Hyun-soo confronts his personal struggles.
