K-Drama SWEET HOME Leads Netflix's Korean Commitment in 2020

Netflix recently announced that it will team up with director Lee Eung-bok (known for K-drama hits such as "Mr. Sunshine", "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God", "Descendants of the Sun") to produce a new original series called "Sweet Home", which will be available exclusively on Netflix sometime this year. Adapted from a popular webtoon of the same name, "Sweet Home" is a suspenseful series based on the unique premise of a world in which people turn into monsters that reflect their own individual desires. After losing his family, reclusive high school student Cha Hyeon-su moves into a new apartment where he faces these bizarre and shocking circumstances.

Netflix has also confirmed casting for the show. Hyeon-su is played by Song Kang, who gained recognition as a next-generation star for his performance as Sun-oh in the Netflix original series "Love Alarm". Lee Jin-uk, whose explosive acting in the drama "Voice" proved his unique brilliance as a character actor, portrays the mysterious Pyeong Sang-uk. Lee Si-young, who is known for her intense acting in "No Mercy", plays the tough-as-nails Seo Yi-gyeong, an original character created for the Netflix adaptation. "Sweet Home" also features an ensemble cast of newcomers and veteran actors, such as Lee Do-hyun, Kim Nam-hee, Go Min-si, Park Kyu-young, Go Youn-jung, Kim Kap-soo, and Kim Sang-ho. "Sweet Home" is produced by Studio Dragon, and written by Hong So-ri, Kim Hyung-min and Park So-jeong.
