As Hyun Su encounters Yi Su, his concern towards her shows how people and instances must have broken him, to get so very humbled in a dog-eat-dog setting
Skip Or Binge-Watch Sweet Home Season 3:
Lee Do-Hyun’s screen time is limited which fails to meet the expectations that season 2 has set, the bond between Eun-Yu and Hyun Su is commendable their screen time is limited. The story-based drama had a lot of scenes that connect and answer questions from previous seasons, although the screen time is a drawback, more screen time without the story’s progress would have made it worse. The Church Father and his wife’s screentime also happens to be very limited than others. While the entire cast from the guy who helps the antagonist get hold of Yi Su to the main leads, everyone teamed up to give excellent performances
Overall, Sweet Home 3 is a must-watch drama for any beginner Kdrama viewers or the audience as it has everything from romance, drama, action, and adventure, to emphasizing strong relationships, which in simple is similar to a proper Indian Commercial Film.
