A misguided story with such great potential

First of all, this review will not contain spoilers but assumes you’ve watched at least s1 and s2. Negatives of s3? Well the season is honestly too short. I feel the show needed a minimum of at least 3 more hours or better… another season to give the many new side characters full depth which is still an issue in s3 as it is in s2. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy where the side characters take away from the needed screen time for our main characters we care about IE- Hyun Su, Eun Yu, and Eun Hyeok. And the screen time given to our main cast doesn’t allow for the proper development of our side characters. To be honest, I feel and many others is the main characters we care about deeply who were at the forefront of s1 don’t get enough screen time and besides perhaps some of the soldiers and in my opinion the three recently introduced special infected I really do not give a shit about the side characters and even those that I find interesting still lack significant depth. Also the main villian is kind of amateurish and the final battle leaves more to be desired really. Also while the three main characters and their actors of course kick ass and are enjoyable to watch they simply aren’t there long enough. I honestly feel like Eun Hyeok was just there for fan service although he’s still good :) and while I can’t and won’t spoil anything I feel like the greatest aspect of this season and being Hyun Su and Eun Yu’s relationship and let’s face it romance is handled in my opinion not the greatest and leaves more to be desired especially with the strange choices those two make in regard to each other. The special effects in this season are fine, nothing to ride home about and just like in s2 the monsters lack imagination and intrigue. Simply put they aren’t scary like they were in s1 and feel like a fast food version of what the monsters in this show should be. S1 by far has the best depiction of monsters I’d say. The goods of course. The acting is spectacular and the sets look quite nice. Our three main character while needing more screen time dominate the scenes their in and are enjoyable to watch. I also like I Kyeong in this season although her daughter is meh. This season also takes no prisoners, people die in this season not all character are safe or left standing at the end of this season with I commend 👏. While many do not like the ending I actually find it bitter sweet although it does still feel rushed and many more things needed to be explained better with proper character conclusions. In conclusion, I’d say it is worth a watch if you’ve watched the previous two season but is by no means the best ending to an amazing series as it should be. The last two seasons and especially this season simply needed less side characters and/or more runtime which they clearly didn’t have so I honestly think they didn’t do half-bad with what they had although they still could’ve done better. Finally, I’d like to say thank you for reading this review 🙂 and this season as a whole still feels like Sweet Home…
