Plot

Prologue, Chapters 1–38

After his family is tragically killed in a vehicular accident, suicidal 18-year-old Cha Hyun-soo moves into Room 1410 of the Green Home apartment complex. Soon after, he and other residents begin experiencing unusual symptoms, including auditory hallucinations and nosebleeds. One night, through his video door-phone, he witnesses his female neighbor from Room 1411 transform into a human-eating monster.

Two days later, Hyun-soo realizes that society has collapsed as people undergo a "monsterization" apocalypse (goemulhwa), a phenomenon widely discussed online. Downstairs, a group of residents led by Lee Eun-hyuk fend off the first monster attack on the building, but not before one is killed. Many more residents are killed as the attacks continue. Hyun-soo crafts a makeshift spear with a kitchen knife as a spearhead and, following advice from Han Du-sik of Room 1408, uses his phone as a monster detector, where if a call produces a beeping sound, it signals a monster is nearby. He goes to Room 1408, where Du-sik modifies his spear to deliver an electric shock.

Hyun-soo rescues two orphaned siblings, 9-year-old Kim Soo-young and 6-year-old Kim Young-soo, in Room 1210. However, as he attempts to return to Du-sik's apartment, his transformation into a monster momentarily takes hold and another attack separates him from the children. Yoon Ji-soo of Room 1510 and Jung Jae-heon of Room 1506 rescue him. Meanwhile, the children are caught in a battle between two monsters but are saved by Im Myung-sook, a partially 'monsterized' resident. Hyun-soo, Ji-soo, and Jae-heon arrive to help her.

After spending a day in Du-sik's apartment, Hyun-soo, Ji-soo, and Jae-heon decide to join the survivors on the ground floor, leaving the children in Myung-sook and Du-sik's care. During a battle with a monster, Hyun-soo is knocked unconscious. In his mind, his inner monster tempts him with a hallucination where he watches his favorite film, Maria From the Sky. Realizing he is only hallucinating, Hyun-soo rejects the temptation and awakens to find Eun-hyuk and his younger sister, Lee Eun-yoo, by his side.

Chapters 39–85

The residents debate whether to oust Hyun-soo due to his partial monsterization. Eun-hyuk proposes a vote but argues that forcing him out would be tantamount to killing him. The vote results in a tie, causing an elderly man, Kim Seok-hyun, to protest. However, his nose begins to bleed, exposing his own impending monsterization. Later, Eun-hyuk tasks Hyun-soo and Pyeon Sang-wook, , a gangster-like resident, with rescuing the survivors in Room 1408 to utilize Du-sik's technical skills. While they are away, Myung-sook fully succumbs to monsterization; however, her deep longing for her lost child rather transforms her into a passive, fetus-like monster within Du-sik's apartment.

On their way to Du-sik's apartment, Hyun-soo and Sang-wook encounter other survivors: elderly Ahn Gil-seop and his caretaker Park Yoo-ri. The two successfully return to the ground floor with Du-sik, leaving Gil-seop, Yoo-ri and the children in Du-sik's apartment. Du-sik repairs one of the apartment's elevators but it inadvertently leads to the fully monsterized security guard entering the ground floor and attacking the residents, killing many, including Jae-heon. The sight of Jae-heon's corpse causes Hyun-soo's inner monster to temporarily manifest. Upon regaining control, he kills the monsterized security guard. The remaining survivors in Du-sik's apartment use the elevator to join Hyun-soo and the other survivors on the ground floor.

A group consisting of Hyun-soo, Sang-wook, Ji-soo, Gil-seop and Yoo-ri successfully retakes the underground parking lot from the monsters. Du-sik modifies a car into an armored vehicle, which Hyun-soo, Sang-wook, Gil-seop, and another survivor, Byung-il, use to venture outside the complex in search of food and medical supplies. However, a monster attacks them, killing Gil-seop while Byung-il escapes. Just as Eun-hyuk and the remaining survivors prepare to leave the complex to help Hyun-soo and Sang-wook, Byung-il returns with a prison bus and runs over the monster, killing it. Byung-il emerges from the bus with five outsiders, the first four of whom Sang-wook immediately recognizes as criminals: group leader Shin Joong-seop, conman Im Hyun-sik, rapist Seo Kap-soo, and gangster Baek Ho-yeon.

Chapters 86–111

The Green Home residents are forced to accommodate the criminals, leading to rising tensions as the criminals begin enacting their secret plan to take control of the complex. While Hyun-sik spreads fear and discord among the survivors, Joong-seop tries to recruit Hyun-soo to join their group and reveals another outsider, a young man named Yi-hyun, to be a powerful half-monster. The criminals soon assume superiority, leading to some residents joining their side, including Hyun-soo. Eun-hyuk, refusing to share any plans with the criminals, is imprisoned along with Sang-wook. Eun-hyuk reveals to Sang-wook that he has a plan known only to himself and Du-sik, but he collapses after his nose starts to bleed. Du-sik is forced to show Joong-seop a large box containing what appears to be a chain of clothes, which Joong-seop dismisses. Du-sik is relieved, as the "rope" is actually over 100 meters long with a grappling hook at the end.

On Joong-seop's orders, Hyun-soo and Yi-hyun search the upper levels of Green Home for monsters. Yi-hyun, communicating with Hyun-soo's inner monster, finds out about the harmless fetus monster in Du-sik's apartment bathroom and, under the influence of his own inner monster, attempts to kill it. Hyun-soo fights Yi-hyun to protect the monster and manages to knock Yi-hyun back to his normal state. When they check the bathroom again, they find a human-sized cocoon where the monster once was, which Hyun-soo realizes is alive after hearing a heartbeat. Yi-hyun, fearing it is a potential threat, attempts to destroy it but his half-monsterization powers unexpectedly resist, knocking him unconscious.

Ji-soo arrives in the apartment as Hyun-soo remains hesitant about destroying the cocoon. Although also seeing it as a potential threat, Ji-soo is reluctant to act and tells Hyun-soo that Eun-hyuk and Sang-wook are imprisoned. Yi-hyun regains consciousness with his inner monster's personality and sets the cocoon on fire with his lighter, causing nearby monsters to swarm the complex. He then rushes to the rooftop, where he believes he sees a naked woman standing on the parapet. Meanwhile, Sang-wook and Eun-hyuk escape imprisonment and discover coolers containing chopped human remains in the outsiders' prison bus. Sang-wook attempts to use the remains to lure the monsters away from the complex but comes upon a grove with four cocoons. To his shock, he witnesses a naked human emerge from one of the cocoons.

Chapters 112–139

As monsters begin breaching the barricade on the front door, Eun-hyuk confirms to Du-sik that the survivors must proceed with their escape plan: launching the grappling hook from the rooftop to zipline to a hill 80 meters away. Eun-yoo uses Ji-soo's smartphone to distract the monsters, allowing the survivors flee to the upper floors. Sang-wook uses the prison bus to block the front door and throws Joong-seop to the monsters. Du-sik, who is undergoing monsterization himself, decides to stay behind in the underground parking lot and starts a fire to kill multiple monsters. As Eun-hyuk and the survivors arrive at the rooftop, Hyun-soo goes to the parking lot, where he finds Du-sik dying. A naked man appears and triggers another hallucination in Hyun-soo with his inner monster.

The inner monster reveals the true nature of monsterization to be a "revolution" and a "new beginning". Inner monsters, malevolent versions of their hosts' souls, take control when the hosts succumb to its callings, after which the hosts transform into monsters that reflect their desires. After the hosts' desires are fulfilled, they become new humans — emotionless beings thriving on a "sense of futility". Hyun-soo rejects his inner monster's temptations, firmly deciding to remain himself and continue fighting.

Near-monsterized Hyun-soo emerges victorious in a fierce battle against monsters in a scene from Chapter 135.

Sang-wook and Hyun-sik join Hyun-soo in the parking lot, where they kill the fully monsterized Du-sik. Meanwhile, Ji-soo returns to her apartment room and uses her bass guitar and amplifier to lure the monsters away from the rooftop, leaving a manageable number to fight. Hyun-soo, briefly succumbing to his inner monster, rescues Ji-soo in his near-monsterized form. After Eun-hyuk and Byung-il set up the escape equipment, Eun-hyuk decides to remain in the building due to his own monsterization.

The women and children zipline to safety first. Eun-hyuk, Sang-wook, and Yi-hyun join Hyun-soo and Ji-soo in fighting the remaining monsters. They then head to the rooftop, but their escape is thwarted by the fully monsterized Joong-seop. With no other choice, Hyun-soo sacrifices himself to fully embrace his monsterization, transforming into a powerful monster resembling his favorite character from Maria From the Sky and allowing him to defeat Joong-seop with one blow. Ji-soo tries to communicate with him, but the true Hyun-soo only responds faintly to her voice, while the monster reacts with hostility. Eun-hyuk, deciding to also embrace his monsterization to stop Hyun-soo, transforms into a massive tangle that engulfs the monsterized Hyun-soo, killing them both.

After the battle, rain falls over the remains of the two monsterized men. Most of the remains disintegrate, causing two cocoons to materialize; Hyun-soo emerges from one of them and descends the building. On the ground floor, he finds Ji-soo's unlocked smartphone and plays an audio file, revealed to be Ji-soo's composition, which was supposed to have lyrics written by the old Hyun-soo. Strangely, the new Hyun-soo listens to the music and sheds tears.

Chapter 140 (Epilogue)

During winter in the post-apocalyptic world, the Green Home survivors live in a military camp. While guarding the perimeter, Byung-il notices something approaching and calls for Ji-soo. She rushes to the fence and sees Hyun-soo, barefoot and dressed in thin clothing, walking through the snow toward the camp. Upon seeing Ji-soo, Hyun-soo smiles with tear-filled eyes. Ji-soo, overcome with emotion, steps beyond the fence and embraces him tightly as the other survivors hurry to reunite with him.

Shortly after moving in, Hyun-soo finds himself caught in a "monsterization" apocalypse. He fights against monsters using a makeshift spear with an electrified knife as its tip.

Notable monsters

Note: The monsters contained in this list are those which are already in monster form in their first appearance in the webtoon (the former human forms of some are revealed only through flashbacks or hints given in the story).

• Blood-sucking monster

the first monster to attack Green Home from outside. It is a hematophagous, humanoid monster with a gaping mouth that extends to its chest and has a long proboscis-like tongue which it uses to suck the fluids of its victim.

• Half-headed monster

a blind humanoid monster which became half-headed after Jae-heon sliced its head transversely. It is very sensitive to sound and is capable of arm branching similar to Yi-hyun's which makes it capable of puncturing objects and stabbing humans and fellow monsters at great speed. The monster was once a disgruntled office worker who lost his job.

• Eyeball monster

it has the body of a man with a long, extendible neck and a giant round mass with multiple eyes for its head.

• Muscular monster

appears to be a tall, muscular humanoid monster. It usually mutters the words "protein," "strength" and "muscle"; it is angered when it is teased of being weak.

• Liquid monster

a relatively harmless, non-hostile monster that appears as a mass of transparent slime shaped like a human being with two floating eyeballs in its "head." It is revealed that the monster was once a young boy named Min-cheol who was hiding in a closet when his mother was killed by the half-headed monster. Min-cheol's desire not be seen is reflected by the sentence the monster mutters, "Can you see me?"

• Tentacle monster / Spider monster

a monster that appears to be a human corpse in supine position with multiple tentacles shooting out from its back and acting like legs. When Hyun-soo and Sang-wook set it in fire, it douses itself with water through a fire sprinkler and evolves into a spider monster capable of spitting a corrosive fluid.

• Long-armed monster

a humanoid, gibbon-like monster capable of arm extension. It is revealed that the monster was once a man who lived in immense guilt after failing to rescue his son from the monsters, which is reflected in the phrase it mutters, "hold my hand."

• Track-and-field monster

a fast-moving humanoid three-eyed monster which mutters "too slow." It is revealed that the monster was once a track-and-field athlete who murdered his roommate and rival before his monsterization.

• Flying monster

a bat-like monster; the only monster known to be capable of flight.

Other characters involved in the monsterization apocalypse

• The inner monsters

the malevolent personas that awaken in people and transform them into monsters; the prime movers of the monsterization apocalypse. It is revealed in latter chapters that the inner monsters are the fiendish forms of the souls of humans beings born through the repression of human desires; seeking for the satiating of those desires, they incite a "revolution" through the monsterization apocalypse. An inner monster takes advantage of its host's innermost, most desperate desires and transforms the host into a monster that reflect those desires, while the host's subconscious is imprisoned in a "paradise of desires", a parallel world where those desires are fully met (letting the host turn into an emotionless, desireless human being later on when the desires are finally exhausted).

• The emergent humans (Übermensch)

a new race of humans that emerge from cocoons that form from the remains of dead monsters. When a monster dies or after a monster's true persona exhausts his or her desires while being in the "paradise of desires", the monster transforms into a new human being void of desires and emotions and thriving on a "sense of futility". In the prequel Shotgun Boy, it is revealed that these beings are also referred to as the Übermensch.

Style

Art

The artistic style of Sweet Home is characterized by maintaining a "claustrophobic and grotesque atmosphere". There is additional emphasis on the characters' appearance: the human characters' facial expressions, and the monsters' physical forms which take on a "familiar yet horrific twist". The webtoon also exhibits multiple changes in font style which help set the atmosphere of various scenes, through "color changes, opacity changes, capitalization, size changes, and font changes".

Just like many modern, third-generation webtoons, Sweet Home uses built-in background music, particularly in its 140th chapter (epilogue) which contains a track titled "MZ - Sweet Home (incomplete ver.)".

Narrative and characterization

Among thriller-horror stories that deal with gruesome characters such as zombies and monsters, Sweet Home is notable for treating a relatively similar set of characters in a different light. This is evident by its introduction of the idea of human beings turning into monsters not through external factors (e.g. virus, curse) but through the expression of their desires.

The webtoon is also said to go beyond simple horror storytelling and focuses on character development, especially on its protagonist Cha Hyun-soo. In the webtoon, Hyun-soo is portrayed as a reclusive boy who, at first, lives only for himself and is ready to die. But as soon as the monsterization apocalypse begins, he makes a big change by wanting to step out of his room, connecting with other people and staying alive.
