Song Kang and Sweet Home director Lee Eung-Bok talk about the K-drama’s upcoming season 3
Since the release of Sweet Home season 2 on Netflix, fans have been divided over the short screen-time of Song Kang in the new season. In a Ten Asia interview on December 5, 2023, the actor explained the reason behind his character’s screen time in the second season. He said, “There is a reason. The reason there is no length is because it may appear in Season 3. I was okay with it.”
He further said, “I focus more on emotions. I feel like I’ve become more emotionally mature while playing Hyeonsu this time, so I’m satisfied.” Song Kang then teased about season 3 of Sweet Home and how his character will change in the new season. The actor explained, “I’ve already heard everything, and he will be able to play a different role in season 3….There are so many changes, so I hope you enjoy watching it.”
Sweet Home director Lee Eung-Bok also shed light upon the third season of the series. He said, “In the extension of Season 1, Hyeonsu is taken away and experimented on. I tried to make him a little more lonely rather than portraying him as a messianic or heroic figure. So, we tried to bring him back with maturity, and he performed perfectly in Season 3, depicting how good will can save humans. So I thought it might be necessary to hide it for a while because the seeker needed time. I think each episode will be exciting as Season 2’s knots and conflicts are resolved and familiar characters are reunited…Season 3 is really fun….season 3 is a perfect conclusion.”
Sweet Home 3 will premiere in the summer of 2024 on Netflix.
