"Sweet Home" has many highlights (after all, Netflix is willing to throw money), but compared to comics, the series is slightly thin in character portrayal, at least for those monsters transformed by people, the description of comics is much more delicate and plump (of course, serials and comics are two different forms of media, can not be simply compared). However, the author still has to sort out several monsters that are quite different from the original set of the series here, so that everyone can better understand this work.
She is a resident of the unit next door to the protagonist Cha Hyun-so, and is a girl idol trainee on weekdays, who is extremely hungry for food due to being forced to diet by the agency.
One of the more interesting details about her is that she is talking on the phone with her mother before passing Hyun-so's unit, and her mother seems to want her to lean on some kind of gold lord so that she can more easily become popular. However, the girl rejected her mother's proposal in a very harsh tone, indicating that "becoming an idol of the girl group" is not the first in the girl's heart, which is why she succumbed to her desire to "overeat" after infection.
In the series, the "gluttony" is directly kicked to death by Uncle Bian Shangyu (she was still in "prime time" at the time); however, in the comics, the "gluttony" is frightened by Bian Shangyu who happens to be passing by when attacking Yoon Ji-so's apartment door, and then briefly recovers his sanity, realizing the terrible fact that he suddenly turned into a monster (and also ate his own cat), and the girl jumps out of the 15th-floor window. Because it was still in the "golden hour", the "gluttony" could not stand up again, and later became "protein" to evolve their own food.
He was once a white-collar worker who was usually bullied by his colleagues and superiors in the company, and he had a strong desire for revenge because his heart was full of hatred, which made the "lotus head" extremely aggressive.
After the "lotus head" was cut off half of the head and lost his vision (in the "golden hour" and could not be restored), his body compensated for the size of the left ear, using sensitive hearing to compensate for visual defects, so named because the profile of his head was particularly similar to a lotus puff.
"Lotus Head" is absolutely inferior in the fight with "Protein", is beaten violently and thrown out of the window, in the comic, he does not die, but eats a part of the "Gluttonous" corpse to restore his strength, and then tries to return to the "Green House" apartment again (to find Hyun-so and "Protein" for revenge), and is eventually burned to death by the residents.
The manga does not devote a dedicated space to depicting the background of "Protein's" past, but from the words of the protagonist Hyun-soo, we can infer some brief past about him.
"Protein" used to be a man who pays great attention to appearances, he longs to become the muscle man who has hormones in film and television dramas, but he is lazy to sweat and work hard for this, and he rarely goes to the fitness club after applying for membership. After being monsterized, "Protein" immediately succumbs to his desires, and his body expands to an astonishing size, making him one of the most difficult monsters to deal with in the comics.
After "Protein" was mocked by Yoon Ji-so and fell out of the apartment building himself, he spent several days searching for the source of protein in the vicinity, devouring the Gluttonous, The Long Tongue, and many other monsters (dead or alive) before appearing in an evolved form. However, the "protein" in the comic seems to prefer the flesh of normal people, and when he defeated the "lotus head", it was precisely because he noticed that there was a human nearby that he threw the "lotus head" in his hand out of the window.
The main body of the "giant eye" retains the human form, but the head is enlarged into a huge sphere and occupied by two huge eyeballs. It also has a neck that can be extended and can even reach a height of 14 floors. The monster didn't seem to be very aggressive, just content to spy on the privacy of others.
It is worth mentioning that what happened after the "Giant Eye" was beheaded by Dou Zhi Lao Bo was not explained in the episode. His body did not die as old uncle Dou Zhi expected, and new eyes began to grow at the fracture of his neck. The injured body of the Giant Eye returned to the forest and became a cocoon to begin to evolve, and finally out of the cocoon was a human who looked completely normal, but the eyes were completely emotionless.
According to the setting in the comics, he is a new human being who has been completely stripped of his desires, and theoretically all monsters should eventually return to this form.
"Green Slime" does not play much in the series, acts completely harmless to people, and even has a very kind nature, once trying to rescue Hyun Soo and 6-year-old Kim Young-so.
Kim Young-so believes that the "green slime" is alienated by his father, but this is not true, and the manga has a more detailed description of the background of this monster.
"Green Slime" used to be a resident of the "Green House", and was a little boy like Kim Young-so. In the early stages of the building when monsters began to appear, he and his mother were always hiding in the apartment. However, their movements were discovered by the "lotus head" wandering around the building, and his mother hid him in the closet in order to save him, but he was brutally killed by the "lotus head".
The boy always remembered his mother's instructions before he died, telling him to be careful not to be discovered by the monster, so he entered the process of alienation and turned into a pool of green slime. Since it was liquid, he could go wherever he wanted to go without being noticed.
In the comics, "Green Slime" can enter corpses and control them like puppets, a setting that was later used in the series to be used in the series by the main villain Zheng Yiming's "Red Slime", and "Green Slime" became a marginal character completely.
Scud was once a guest of Room 705 of the building, he and his roommate were partners practicing track and field together, and when disaster came, both of them took refuge in the apartment, but because of the excessive fear of the friend, "Scud" was very irritable, and he had always been very jealous of his friend's athletic talent, so he killed the friend and lived with the corpse for a long time.
After Scud uses his ability to run fast, his heart will glow red, which can be used to kill his weakness in the manga, but this does not seem to be shown in the series.
This monster is actually very critical, and even has a key impact on the direction of the plot. In the series, although Uncle Jin appeared at the beginning, and there were still many scenes, he suddenly disappeared and did not appear until the second half, and died in the elevator with the teacher Zheng Zaixian.
In fact, the entire "Green House" was sealed off by "Uncle Jin of the Guard", who has been oppressed by both the guest and the apartment manager, and has long resented them (similar to the "lotus head", so their alienated appearance is similar). Before he developed symptoms of alienation, Uncle Jin was preparing to seal off the entire building and set it on fire, but just as he was about to go to the top floor to complete the blockade, desire completely devoured his body and turned him into a monster.
With the power failure, Uncle Jin has been trapped on the top floor, until the male protagonist Hyun Soo and Bian Shangyu restore the faulty elevator in order to connect the Dou Zhi Lao Bo in Room 1408 to the first floor, and Uncle Jin has the opportunity to come down and take revenge on the guests.
The series does not tell these stories of Uncle Jin, and the reason why the whole building was blocked was actually skipped, which is indeed a failure that should not appear.
Yan Mingshu's story is actually relatively complete in the series, which is basically the same as the comic version. As a mother who has lost her child, she ends up in a completely uninspiring womb, pregnant with her own body with a huge fetus.
However, the author wants to explain the alienation process of Yan Myung-sook here, she actually did not have alienation like the male protagonist Hyun-so at the beginning, mainly because her brain was too sad at the moment of the child's death, and the subconscious began to have the illusion that the child did not die, so her desire was not so strong. But when the stroller was crushed by the "protein", the illusion that had been protecting her disappeared, although this made Yan Mingshu wake up instantly, but she was also swallowed up by desire, opening her alienation process.
