Webtoon reader, biased review

I already know the webtoon is amazing: the plot, characters, concept, creepiness, comedy, relationship, gore, sadness, etc...everything is perfect for me, I can feel every bit of emotion the webtoon tries to deliver. And this drama just makes the webtoon ×100 better.

The bad CGI, the way they change the characters and their relationships just doesn't stand well with me, they just feel less connected and the drama show less on how the ML fight/resist the inner monster (it doesn't really show that it's very difficult to ressist the monster) he just suddenly have power and how ridiculous of him to went up and down to get their stuff while the other monsters are there. In the webtoon, the ML is just infected human being with no power, he just go berserk when he lose control of the demon or become monster when he succumbed to the demon at the end. Talking about the ML, his character is just plain and dull in the drama, he don't fight for himself (he does fight the monster but not human) and they can just use him however they want. I don't like the gangster too, they make him look like he is invincible (like he can easily fight the monster and can go wherever he wants in the building). This drama would have been much better if they focus more on the monsters/ inner monster than humans. Most of the characters in this drama is just so unlikable (not to say there are none in the webtoon, there are hateful ones but they just add to the creeps of the webtoon). There are still some characters I find annoying but I'll just stop here, if not it will be never ending...

I just think it's funny throughout the drama instead of feeling intense or scary (since it's a horror genre). I don't get why the name is "sweet home" for this drama, the webtoon has a very touching meaning for it so i recommend everyone to read the webtoon to understand more in depth of the story (but they literally change everything from the webtoon so.... idk which do you prefer). There are people who like the changes but definitely not me. Maybe because they want to make a season 2 but it just so sad that many of the main characters died and other useless characters which contribute nothing to the plot lives.
Maybe because i read the webtoon first so i think the drama is silly, but it's better experience for people who watch the drama first...i guess

Won't rewatch, definitely not excited for season 2 too
