"Sweet Home" is a popular Korean manga adaptation of Netflix original Korean drama, the most distinctive feature of which is the monster transformed by human beings due to "desire", this article is mainly based on comics, introducing the desires of monsters and related settings.
*The content of this article will be based on the manga setting, so it may involve the plot of the second season, so please read it carefully.
In the original Sweet Home comic, "monsters" are born of human desires, with early symptoms such as nosebleeds, auditory hallucinations, and coma, before it is revealed that there is an entity that gives humans beautiful illusions, forcing them to obey their desires and become monsters. This kind of entity is white in color and looks similar to the possessed person, as shown above is the entity attached to the protagonist Che Xianxiu, and the true face of the entity is not stated, but the entity of Che Xianxiu has said that they may be human souls.
When transformed into a monster, the human consciousness is locked in an illusion, can no longer control its own body, and will begin to hurt others. The monster's ability to be different from ordinary people is also related to human desires, for example, the desire is to become a Hercules, then the monster he transforms into will have great strength. When transformed into a monster, the words spoken will be related to wishes, like a cholesterol monster that "wants to get stronger" and will only repeat the word "protein".
It is worth noting that monsters are extremely sensitive to sound and will attack any human who has not become a monster, even if humans are undergoing changes, but as long as the appearance is still human, they will also be attacked, except for special circumstances, monsters rarely attack each other.
When the wish is fulfilled and becomes a state of desirelessness, the monster will become a cocoon and evolve, and although they are like humans (hereinafter referred to as monster people), they are different from ordinary humans, monster people do not have moody emotions, and other monsters will actively protect monster people.
If it is only infected but still maintains the appearance of a human, it can be killed in a normal way, but if you want to kill a monster, you must use powerful firepower or directly use fire to solve it, and the monster man can use the way of killing ordinary humans.
