This show was a wonderful watch, it was exciting, nervewrecking, and heartwarming at times. I've been a fan of the webtoon since it's early episodes and have been reading and following along until it's end. Obviously as a reader of the original comic, you will naturally compare. But after hearing that this series adaptation would not follow the plot of the webtoon dot by dot, I tried my best to watch it and enjoy it as a separate thing. The webtoon was not finished as the series was filming, so it makes sense why they would change up some things. If you stop comparing every scene with the webtoon, you will enjoy this show much more. Trust me on this.

Now for the actual review of the show. Sweet Home was ambitious. The CGI lacks at points (the blood of the monsters being what irked me the most), but it wasn't bad. The movements and colouring were well done, they were pretty seemlessly placed into this world. At times it looked like a video game (the protein monster as well as the one missing the top of its head) but that somehow added to the suspense. It felt like you were the one killing these monsters, as if you were playing a game. At other parts, the CGI looked so real. The wings in the last episode were breathtaking, the womb was heartbreaking. Overall, despite the CGI not being fully consistent in it's animation, it still looked really good. The acting was amazing. I've known of a good handful of these actors from their previous work, so I have nothing bad to say about it. They did an amazing job as usual. The editing was a mixture. For the most part, the cuts were well timed and the plot and timeline were easy to follow BUT there were also times, where some of the cuts were questionable. Twice did they zoom into Hyunsoo's face rather dramatically, only to cut it over to a whole different scene. In all honesty, that made me chuckle, it was a really awkward editing decision. In episode 3 or 4, where Han Dusik, was moved to the ground floor, there the editing and pace was too fast. He had earlier gestured how he wasn't able to get downstairs due to being on a wheelchair, and suddenly he did it with ease? They could've at least had shown the process. They did mention in a dialogue later on, that it was due to using the elevator, but I feel like they could've been more explicit about it. It ruined the purpose of him being stuck in his room for so long. Another thing, which I believe could've been shown more too, was how they trapped all the monsters. In the latter half of the series, they seem to easily roam around the upper floors. Somehow all the monsters are gone. They briefly showcased it in the first half, but it could've been more detailed, so that it didn't seem like all monsters vanished overnight.

Despite some flaws in editing and pacing, Sweet Home is overall a wonderful show. And with an ending like so, I can only wish for a season 2. (and also an adaptation for Bastard, please)
