“Sweet Home 3” — which stars Song Kang and Lee Jin-wook — will revolve around the final battle between “humans, monsters, and neohumans” as it’s set to premiere on July 19.
The premiere date of “Sweet Home’s” final installment was confirmed in a press statement, which would focus on the ultimate showdown between Hyun-su (Song Kang) and Sang-wook (Lee Jin-wook).
“Sweet Home 3” director Lee Eung-bok hoped audiences would “root for their favorite ones” as they dealt with the final battle in their “own ways.”
“There is a variety of characters, so I hope viewers will root for their favorite ones as they all fight in their own ways, from the battle between Sang-wook — who has turned evil — and Hyun-su, who longs to preserve his humanity; Yi-kyung, who fights to protect Kid; and Sergeant Tak, who feels responsible for the survivors’ safety,” he said.
The trailer showing a glimpse of the final season showed Hyun-su reuniting with Eun-hyeok (Lee Do-hyun) where they immediately battled one another. A peek of the former’s clash with Sang-wook was also shown.
Other characters Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young), Eun-yu (Ko Min-si), Chan-young (Jinyoung), Tak In-hwan (Yoo Oh-seong), Dr. Lim (Oh Jung-se), Kim Yeong-hu (Kim Moo-yeol), and Kid (Kim Sia) were also seen in the trailer as they dealt with the aftermath of previous events.
Based on a webtoon of the same name, the first season of “Sweet Home” premiered in December 2020 while its second installment was released a year later.
Song, who’s currently enlisted in the military, stars as the titular Cha Hyun-su who becomes a half human-monster hybrid, while dealing with the aftermath of his superhuman abilities throughout its run.
