Late runner wins my favourite drama of the year
Wow, just wow. If I don't get a second season, I'm going to become a monster.
Let me start by saying, I hate horror, I avoid it like the plague but after watching the trailer, I decided to sit down and watch some of it, and it hooked me from the start. I have never read the webtoon, so I went into this blind.
The only thing that has a shrug from me: the song Warriors being played. Only thing that irritated me.
The acting superb, two thumbs up for the cast. They had me in a whirlwind emotion of hate, hope, love, among other things.
This drama's manifestation of monster's, both physically and psychologically was brilliant. What added to my delight, was the monsters appearance, almost webtoony in a way. They weren't made to blend in perfectly with their environment, they were made to look unreal, and that only heightened the idea of real monsters. Human's and their shortcomings. When we cut to people, it was gritty, and real, and dirty. The metaphorical beauty of this drama hit me like a bus (or a firetruck).
Another point is the characters themselves. Morally grey. I love when this is done right, and this was done awesome. I had my favourites, and I had those I loathed, and there were those who changed my mind. I grew with the characters, and loved every minute of it. And what brought more meaning was character deaths. They did this so right. They were poignant, and made me stop and think. I didn't just go, oh well, another dead, I actually paused and grieved when a few of my favourites died (or did they?) They had different personalities, different goals, different histories, we didn't dwell on them, but were exposed to them fresh, raw and wholly, which kept the teetering pace.
I think 10 episodes was a great package. I feel like some drama's do 16-20 and they end up with so much filler, or flashback or things that meant nothing. Here, everything was inserted for a reason.
And that ending episode, the twists? Damn, that's an ending done right.
Can I also say the poetry behind Hyun-Su's form? He looked like an avenging angel, and whether he caused that eclipse or not, I can't wait to see them delve further into this world of survival.
Sweet home hit a sweet spot, in a year of drama misses for me, and I eagerly await the next season! Fighting team!
