A good story ruined by awful CGI and music.

I'm really annoyed because I want to give a higher rating for Sweet Home.


I struggled to get through Episodes 1-2 but after that the drama was amazingly gripping and there were no boring moments whatsoever.

Every character is memorable, interesting and well acted. My favorites were the "grandpa" Gil Seop, Ji Su, and Sang Wook.

I loved the story, characters, and the gore in the drama. But this drama had some absolutely baffling issues:

First of all, this drama was the first I've watched where I have actively disliked the soundtrack. Playing Imagine Dragons' "Warriors" MULTIPLE TIMES was an AWFUL choice. Completely broke the immersion, and the song definitely didn't fit into the drama. Imagine Dragons wasn't even the only poor choice of music in the drama. Soundtrack overall was very weak in Sweet Home.


Other big problem was the CGI effects. With some things it was fine, in most situations it was dreadful. Most of the monsters were just a big CGI mess, which was very disappointing. However as the drama got closer to the finale, I wasn't really bothered with the CGI that much.

I also wasn't a big fan of the "Let's cram as many twists and turns into the last 15 minutes as possible"- cliffhanger ending.



7,5/10
