Not your average post-apocalyptic zombie/monster television series from Netflix, Sweet Home is a slick, action-packed adaptation of a popular webtoon. The classic tussle between good and evil, in this case, monsters and humans, has been captured terrifically in the series. Season 3 of Sweet Home debuted on Netflix on July 19, 2024, and received rave reviews. Despite the show’s special effects that required shooting in a studio, we got our hands on some of the Sweet Home K-drama filming locations. Journey with us across the sights and sounds of Korea’s Daejeon, the primary shooting location for Sweet Home Season 3.

Sweet Home K-drama Season 3: Cast, plot, and more
Lee Eung-bok, Hong So-ri, Jang Young-woo, Kim Hyeong-min, Park So-hyeon, and Park So-jeong have adapted Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan’s webtoon to create the Sweet Home television series. The story in Season 1 focuses on a loner, Cha Hyun-su (played by Song Kang), who loses his family in a tragic car accident and subsequently moves out of his home to live with strangers in the derelict Green Home Apartment Complex.
As he is getting used to the new way of life, monsters start appearing everywhere, with his neighbours and friends turning into monster-human hybrids. He eventually turns into a hybrid himself, with wings and super strength. While Season 2 of the series highlights his internal battles after becoming a hybrid, Season 3 is about his search for answers, government officials looking for a cure, and an ensuing final battle between humans and monster hybrids.
Apart from Song Kang, the Sweet Home Season 3 cast features several K-drama regulars and newbies, including Lee Jin-wook as Pyeon Sang-wook, Lee Si-young as Seo Yi-kyung, Park Gyu-young as Yoon Ji-su, Go Min-si as Lee Eun-yu, Kim Hee-jung as Cha Jin-ok, Kim Gook-hee as Son Hye-in and Lee Joon-woo as Ryu Jae-hwan.
