As we contemplate how to fill our time over the Christmas break, Netflix has gifted us one final new Korean series to help see out the long and strange year that was.
Set in a post-apocalyptic dystopia in a derelict building that houses ass-kicking characters facing off against a dizzying array of monsters, Sweet Home is the 10-episode adaptation of the popular 2017 webtoon of the same name by Kim Kan-bi.
Song Kang (Love Alarm ) plays Hyun-su, a high-school-age shut-in who moves into a crumbling high-rise after the death of his family. He just wants to stay in his cramped flat and play video games, but when people around him start gushing blood out of their noses and behaving very strangely, he realises something has gone very wrong.
