Looking For A Place To Belong - How "Sweet Home 3" Brings A Sweet End To An Iconic Series

Netflix

It's rare for K-Dramas to extend past a first season, let alone three. Much of the appeal of Korean entertainment is the way they package an entire story into 16 or so episodes, nowadays even less, allowing for the cast and fans to move onto the next work, a couple months later. This concept isn't foreign to streaming giant Netflix either, as they've continue to extend their K-Content catalogue. However, sometimes a series becomes a global hit and remains that way for several weeks, as well as having ample source material to work upon. This was certainly the case for "Sweet Home" which just wrapped up its third and final season this past weekend.

The success of the first season spurred Netflix to renew the iconic K-Drama until its third and last. After such a magnificent start, many viewers became invested into the series and hoped the following storylines wouldn't disappoint - and its safe to say that for the most part, they didn't! A majority of the netizen sentiment was highly positive, with numbers suggesting that it could very well have been renewed for a fourth season. And although the data and various netizens have said a lot about the series, the conversations surrounding "Sweet Home 3" haven't ended.

So let's continue to explore the overarching themes presented through "Sweet Home 3" and how the iconic series bid farewell to its viewers. As a note: this article does contain spoilers.
