What happens with Cha Hyun-su in 'Sweet Home' Season 2?
Cha Hyun-su endures a tremendous metamorphosis throughout Season 2 of the show. After a brutal struggle with Jung Ui-myeong (Kim Sung-cheol), he is considered dead but later reappears.
In Season 2, Ui-myeong who has taken the body of Pyeon Sang-wook (Lee Jin-wook) kidnaps Hyun-su and takes him with him.
As Hyun-su wants to help the world understand monsters and discover a cure, he decides to thwart Ui-myeong's scheme.
Both are caught by the military, where Hyun-su encounters Dr. Lim (Oh Jung-se), a doctor who experiments on monsters.
Hyun-su's unique abilities are revealed when a monster displays human feelings in his presence.
However, things soon start to go downhill as the government turns against the military and survivors, and tensions increase in the safe zone.
On the other hand, Ui-myeong, still alive, unleashes monsters, causing Hyun-su to escape his confinement and battle him.
Ui-myeong stabs Hyun-su, who seems to be crushed by a door.
However, Hyun-su survives and saves Lee Eun-yu (Go Min-si) in the finale. It is then revealed that Hyun-su was looking after Seo Yi-kyung's (Lee Si-young) mutant baby girl (Kim Si-a).
The girl despised mankind and infected her mother, transforming Yi-kyung into a pure monster forcing Hyun-su to murder her, which leaves him weary.
Season 2 concludes with Hyun-su's monster side taking over him, highlighting his unpredictable beast side.
What happens with the residents of Green Home in 'Sweet Home' Season 2?
As the other Green Home survivors are being taken to a secure location in Season 2, a troop halts them.
Residents and other citizens are compelled to remove debris that is obstructing the transportation path in the safe zone.
A monster emerges in the midst of the mayhem, but it turns out not to be as deadly as the troops anticipated.
The survivors are dispersed over different areas and are up against fresh obstacles and dangers.
The majority of people seek refuge in a baseball stadium, which serves as a gathering place for survivors from all around.
In addition to the creatures outside, the darker impulses of those around them also pose a danger to them.
This heightens the suspense for Season 3 by creating a hostile atmosphere where survival and trust are continually put to the test.
Did Seo Yi-kyung give birth to a monster in 'Sweet Home' Season 2?
In the Season 2 of the show, Yi-kyung infiltrates a lab as a soldier to locate her spouse and discovers him in an incubator, but her contractions start, revealing her disfigured, pregnant tummy.
Later, she plunges into a freezing river and regains consciousness on the beach and discovers her black-monster kid.
Initially attempting to kill her baby, she eventually transports the infant to a boat, where they dwell together.
Flashbacks depict Yi-kyung's attempts to defend her daughter from assailants, which resulted in the child's metamorphosis into a monster.
Later, it is revealed that after giving birth, she attempts to murder the infant but abandons her to Hyun-su's care but subsequently reconnects with her daughter and now lives with Hyun-su.
Things take a dark turn when Yi-kyung almost dies in a fire started by her daughter who later transforms her into a monster.
Hyun-su arrives to say goodbye, but he eventually has to kill her, which is a tragic conclusion as Yi-kyung never reconciles with her daughter or forgives herself.
Did Lee Eun-hyuk appear in 'Sweet Home' Season 2?
In the concluding moments of Season 2, Eun-hyuk, who seemed to have perished at the conclusion of Season 1, reappears unexpectedly as a monster.
Despite the fact that Hyun-su was really the one rescuing her, Eun-yu never lost faith that her brother was still alive throughout Season 2.
