2. 'Sweet Home' is adapted from a webtoon!
'Sweet Home' is based on the popular Naver webtoon 'Sweet Home' (written by Kim Carnby, art by Hwang Young-chan). It recorded more than 500 million in cumulative views with its fresh storyline and immersive suspense! The webtoon has been loved and appreciated by domestic and overseas fans from all around the world. You may wish to check out the webtoon here. With the popularity of the webtoon, this blockbuster project by Netflix and Director Lee is expected to bring K-Content beyond its domestic borders, to Asia and even globally as the most anticipated series of 2020.
3. The MonstersOther than the very-talented actors and actresses of the series, the monsters are the next leading characters and they have a big role to play in the series as well! The movements of the ‘Lotus Root Monster’ (named after fans as the top of its head was cut off) was choreographed by Kim Seol-Jin. He is a top contemporary dancer in Korea whom the public will find familiar on 'Dancing 9'! He used animals living in nature as a reference in creating the “instinctive movement to survive” for the monsters in ‘Sweet Home’. Other monsters we can look forward to include the ‘Muscle Monster’, ‘Bloodsucking Monster’ and more.
Australia’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent contestant, Troy James, who is known as the human spider, specially flew down to Korea for the shooting of ‘Sweet Home’. He nailed the movements and personality of the 'spider monster' with his freaky twisty moves.
We can’t wait to see them in the series!
4. High-quality visuals, Special Effects and Computer Graphics
The visual of creatures in 'Sweet Home' was brought together by Legacy Effects and Spectral Motion. They are one of the best special effects and FX studios teams in Hollywood, known for their works in blockbuster films including 'Avengers' series, 'X -men' series, and 'Avatar'. Westworld, a top VFX team in the Korea, also participated in the production of ‘Sweet Home’. As the frontrunner in “virtual production,” a technology which allows real-time monitoring of videos made with computer graphics (CG) on the filming location, Westworld contributed to the elaborated CG and spectacular visuals significantly! This cutting-edge technology has similarly been used for the production of 'Game of Thrones' and 'Aquaman'!
We believe that the special effects and CG are main highlights of ‘Sweet Home’!
The plot of ‘Sweet Home’ extends beyond battling the terrifying monsters and fighting for survival. The series will give viewers a touch on the meaning of life and allow the audience to reflect on their desires in life. Director Lee has portrayed the characters with their in-depth personality and stories, so as to allow viewers to resonate with them. ‘Sweet Home’ hopes to provide viewers with insights that allow them to view others from a different perspective.
We are very much looking forward to this meaningful series, ‘Sweet Home’, premiering on 18 December, on Netflix!
