‘Sweet Home’ Season 2 Receives Warm Reception

In an interview with a media site, the filmmaker, who is also responsible for hit K-dramas such as "Descendants of the Sun," "Goblin," "Jirisan," and "Mr. Sunshine," discusses his actual feelings about the sequel.

"Sweet Home" Season 2 premiered in 2020 after fans waited over three years. The filmmaker, on the other hand, "didn't know there would be so much interest" in the Netflix original series.

Lee Eung Bok also expressed relief after observing the public's reaction to the release of seasons 1 and 2. The director stated that it took three years for him and Netflix to release the sequel because "neither of them thought it would be that successful."

"It's also a genre that costs a lot of money, and I think it took time to make a business decision," he added, as reported by a media site. He also examined the schedules of the actors and crew that will be involved in the sequel. Finally, one of the factors they must consider is the budget.
