I really loved the original Sweet Home even though I normally cannot bear gore and horror. It turned out to be more about humanity, at both its best and worst. I found myself really moved by the relationships forged in that microcosm of the apartment building. Sweet Home 2, however, was too diffuse for me. Too many characters in general to do justice to in merely 8 episodes, too many uninteresting or off-putting characters and storylines, and just not enough of the human relationships that made the first Sweet Home so special for me. Perhaps more episodes might have done justice to the more compelling elements - for example, what happened to Hyun-Su, Eun-Yu, Yi-Kyung, Eui-Myeong, some of the key soldiers, and even that twisted Dr. Lim. It was a missed opportunity.
