The main couple is interesting, but the story is slow with boring side objectives.
This series has the potential, if the company releases a cut-down version of it. There really is no need for 40+ episodes when almost half of it is filled with time wasting and repetitive objectives. The antagonists' rinses and repeats their scheme in hopes to get at the main protagonists. There are tons of backstabs, and toxic family relationships. Fortunately, the main lead couple are both smart and skillful enough to dodge most of these somewhat lethal traps.The only interesting thing of this series is the main couple's relationship and romance which comprises of less than 40% of this series. If you are planning to watch this, be prepared to fast forward through the boring script and skip to the good stuff. Otherwise skip this one and give the latest Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (2019) a shot, that's an example of a drama with a great script and direction.

Sweet Home lacks good direction, script and pacing. This is a slow and boring show.
If you want something new, Sweet Home is one of the TV shows that might entertain you. However, if you want something new with good pacing, direction, script and edits, watch All of Us Are Dead instead.Sweet Home is dry, the plot is stale, and it lacks character and depth. It feels as though the Characters are one dimension and that the show is not driven by plot. I'm not sure how others are able to seat through this and still give this show anything above 7/10. As much as I'm a fan of the Actors and Actresses of this show, the plot was simply boring. The saving grace of this show is the uniqueness, it's not every day you would see a Korean Drama with gore and monsters.
Sweet Home has a good concept but they could have executed this way better. I hope season 2 and 3 gets the engine started.
