Sweet Home Season 1 Episode 2 Recap

[00:01:00] Suicide man was playing video games when his mother spoke through the door of his room. His name is Cha Hyun-Su, and he has a scar on his right arm because of self-inflicted wounds. They were supposed to go on a family trip, but Cha Hyun-Su refused to come with them. They decided to leave him as his mother and father argued in the car about him. Cha Hyun-Su’s sister argued with her father that it wasn’t her mother’s fault that Cha Hyun-Su behaved that way. Cha Hyun-Su refused to go to school, and his parents couldn’t do anything about it. The whole family was arguing when a truck driver in the opposite lane lost control of his truck as his nose bled. The truck went into the other lane and struck Cha Hyun-Su’s family — all of them died instantly.

[00:03:00] Cha Hyun-Su attended his family’s funeral but not because he wanted to. He went to the funeral to ask his family why they only left him 30 million won. He told the pictures of his parents that the money they left him wasn’t enough for him. Cha Hyun-Su’s relatives dragged him out of the funeral because of his attitude. Cha Hyun-Su was lying inside Yoon Ji-Su’s apartment. She checked on him and was curious as to why he was shivering. Meanwhile, the most trending topics on the web were monsters, state of alert, and nosebleeds. Lee Eun-Yoo was on the phone with someone as she walked down the stairs. The elevator wasn’t working, but she also lost contact with the person on the phone. Lee Eun-Yoo fell a few flights of stairs because of her sprained ankle.

[00:05:00] A man was going down the stairs as well — the scarred face man. Lee Eun-Yoo told him to just leave because she was just resting. Scarred face man was suddenly attacked from behind by Cha Hyun-Su’s neighbor. She took a bite on his right shoulder, but he didn’t panic. He threw the woman down the next flight of stairs. The woman tried to attack again, but he stopped her. Scarred face man held the woman by her neck, and he saw the numbers 1510 etched on her forehead. He knew it was the same woman who attacked Yoon Ji-Su’s apartment. He hit the woman’s head on a fire alarm, but it did no damage to her. The woman saw Lee Eun-Yoo and tried to attack her instead. Lee Eun-Yoo screamed in fear, but the scarred face man killed the woman before she could harm Lee Eun-Yoo.

[00:07:30] Seo Yi-Kyung got help from a man named Lee Su-Ung. They carried the corpse of the man killed by the mutated man earlier. Seo Yi-Kyung searched the corpse for the man’s phone. He found the phone and took a picture of the man’s corpse. Lee Su-Ung disagrees with Seo Yi-Kyung on taking the picture because he thought the man’s family would be better off not seeing what happened to him. Seo Yi-Kyung told Lee Su-Ung that the man’s family deserves to know what happened to him. Meanwhile, Yoon Ji-Su decided to leave her apartment to call for help. She went down the stairs and found a man staring into a corner. She slowly passed by so that the man wouldn’t notice her, but the man dropped his bottle, which created a lot of noise.

[00:09:00] The man looked down the stairs and saw Yoon Ji-Su. His nose suddenly bled profusely and attacked Yoon Ji-su. She hit the man’s head with her baseball bat and knocked him out. She checked if the man was dead, but Jung Jae-Heon appeared and told her not to go near the man. Yoon Ji-Su turned her back against the man who mutated and transformed into a monster. The man tried to attack Yoon Ji-Su, but Jung Jae-Heon beheaded the man before he could attack.

[00:10:30] A woman begged the other tenants of the apartment not to block the entrance. Her daughter hadn’t returned, and she was waiting for her. She pleaded with Lee Eun-Hyeok, but he refused to give in to her plea. The woman begged Lee Eun-Hyeok to let her out so that she could look for her daughter, but he refused again. All of the tenants checked their phones because they received an alert message regarding the unfolding events. The message said that everyone with the following symptoms: nosebleeds, blackouts, and sudden aggressive behavior, must be quarantined immediately. Lee Eun-Yoo decided to go with the scarred face man. The man was also checking his phone while they were going down the stairs.

[00:12:00] Yoon Ji-Su asked Jung Jae-Heon how he could be so calm after what happened. He told Yoon Ji-Su he’s extremely shocked and nervous while he wiped the blood off his katana. Yoon Ji-Su asked Jung Jae-Heon if the thing that attacked them was already dead. He assumed the man was already dead because he sliced his head in half, but he was wrong. The mutated man got up and left the staircase. Meanwhile, the other tenants on the ground floor started arguing about whether they should leave the building or go back up to their apartments. One man gathered some of the tenants; they wanted to go back up, but the others refused to let them pass. As they were arguing, they heard a noise coming from the staircase. The door opened, and scarred face man appeared.

[00:15:00] Scarred face man tried to leave the building, but he couldn’t because the exits were blocked. They saw the bite mark on his shoulder, so they checked to confirm if it really was a bite mark. One of the tenants came closer to him to check. Once they confirmed he was bitten, the old man tased him unconscious. Lee Eun-Yoo appeared after they knocked scarred face man unconscious. She was covered in blood, so his brother used his shirt to cover her up. Lee Eun-Yoo went to the nearest bathroom to clean up before anyone saw the blood.

[00:17:00] Lee Eun-Yoo did her best to remove the bloodstains from her clothes, but it won’t come off. Eight hours later, Cha Hyun-Su wakes up and checks the internet about what’s happening to everyone. He found an article about the disease, but he couldn’t finish the article because he lost his internet connection. Cha Hyun-su tried to leave the apartment, but the mutated man that Jung Jae-Heon beheaded was outside his door. The man couldn’t see anything because his head was cut in half, but he could still walk and talk. He used his sense of hearing to get around. Cha Hyun-Su did his best not to make a sound so that the mutated man wouldn’t attack him. The man decided to leave as he didn’t find anything inside Cha Hyun-Su’s apartment.

[00:21:00] The other tenants tied the scarred face man up and placed him inside an empty room. They were planning to kill him because one of them thought they would die if they kept him alive. They asked the old man to get rid of the scarred face man because he’s their group leader. He hesitated at first, but he didn’t have any choice. The old man’s name is Kim Seok-Hyeon. He went inside the room to kill the scarred face man, but he failed. The man evaded his attack and knocked him out with a head butt. Meanwhile, Yoon Ji-Su and Jung Jae-Heon were looking for survivors when they stumbled upon a room with a person inside. The person inside gave them the passcode, so they opened the door. It was the same person that scarred face man was torturing.

[00:23:00] Jung Jae-Heon knew it was the scarred face man because he saw a bunch of duct tape on the apartment floor. The apartment owner asked them what happened outside because he had heard strange noises through the night. Yoon Ji-Su told him he should see for himself. All three of them left the apartment to look for more survivors. Meanwhile, Seo Yi-Kyung suggested that everyone stick together until the rescue came for them. Lee Eun-Hyeok suggested they stay in the daycare center, but the daycare center director refused. She was the same woman looking for her daughter last night, still begging they allow her to leave so that she could find her daughter. Lee Eun-Hyeok told her she needed to live to find her daughter.

[00:26:00] He knew she didn’t have a clear plan, so they told her to stay with them and just help the group. The woman refused to go with them. She told them they could do whatever they wanted and left. Yoon Ji-Su and her group found an open apartment, but the man they rescued told them not to go inside. Yoon Ji-Su peeked inside the apartment and saw a man who had committed suicide. They took the man’s body down. Jung Jae-Heon decided to pray for the man’s soul. Yoon Ji-Su had a flashback of someone she knew who also committed suicide. It was the owner of her bass guitar. Yoon Ji-Su decided to loot the apartment for food since the owner was already dead. Meanwhile, Cha Hyun-Su remained inside his apartment, thinking if he could just commit suicide.

[00:29:00] Cha Hyun-Su heard a sound coming from his window. He looked out the window and saw a man trying to climb down. The man told his children to look out for each other while he’s away. He planned to look for food. A monster appeared behind the man, but he didn’t have any idea. The man’s daughter saw the monster; her reaction startled her father. The man tried to get rid of the monster, but he fell to his death instead. The monster saw the children and tried to enter the apartment through the window. Cha Hyun-Su decided to hide from the monster, but he couldn’t resist the cries for help of the children below. He acted quickly and threw his monitor to distract the monster. The monster went to Cha Hyun-Su‘s window and attacked him instead.

[00:30:00] Cha Hyun-Su took the broken mop stick and poked the eye of the monster. The monster retaliated and used its body to strangle Cha Hyun-Su to death. He almost died, but his neighbor helped him. The neighbor severed the monster’s head from its body. Cha Hyun-Su peeked out his window, and his neighbor told him to keep quiet so that the other monsters wouldn’t hear them. The guy told Cha Hyun-Su that the monsters didn’t die. He asked Cha Hyun-Su if he wanted to save the kids a few floors below them.

[00:33:30] Cha Hyun-Su decided to leave his apartment and join his neighbor so that they could rescue the kids. Meanwhile, Yoon Ji-Su’s group reached the ground floor. The man they rescued wanted to go back to his apartment. Jung Jae-Heon insisted that he comes along with them, but Yoon Ji-Su bid him farewell. He told Jung Jae-Heon that some people want to live their life on their own. The other tenants were getting to know each other in the daycare when Kim Seok-Hyeon came back. He told them the scarred face man had escaped. The man went back up through the fire exit, where Lee Eun-Yoo joined him. The man told Eun-Yoo to shut up, but she refused. They threatened to kill each other if they ever mutated and changed into monsters.

[00:36:30] Cha Hyun-Su entered Han Du-Sik’s apartment. They introduced themselves to one another before Cha Hyun-Su asked him how he could save the kids. Han Du-Sik told him he needed to go down to save the kids. He is disabled, so he wouldn’t be able to leave his apartment to help rescue the kids. Han Du-Sik offered to upgrade Cha Hyun-Su’s weapon, so he could better handle the monsters. Meanwhile, Kim Seok-Hyeon vented his frustration on his wife. The other tenants disapproved of how he treated his wife, but they didn’t want to interfere. Cha Hyun-Su wanted to borrow Han Du-Sik’s cannon, but he refused to lend it to him. Han Du-Sik told him his homemade cannon only fires a few shots. He reserved the last shot, so he could commit suicide when all hope is lost.

[00:40:30] Cha Hyun-Su went downstairs to save the children. He reached the ground floor and tried to go back up using the other staircase, but it was locked. The mutated man from earlier appeared, so Cha Hyun-Su decided to hide inside the broken elevator. Lee Eun-Hyeok watched Cha Hyun-Su from the security cameras, but he lost track of him because the power went out. Cha Hyun-Su attacked the mutated man and ran for his life. The man attacked back, but he missed Cha Hyun-Su by a few inches because he couldn’t see him. Cha Hyun-Su used a marble to distract the mutated man. He attacked the mutated man and left him on the floor. Cha Hyun-Su hurried to find a way to save the children.

[00:44:00] Kim Seok-Hyeon went to his store to check on his goods. The power went out, so his frozen foods were starting to melt. Lee Eun-Hyeok came to the store to find Seo Yi-Kyung. He told her they needed to find the electrical room to restore power to the building. Seo Yi-Kyung took some supplies from the store despite Kim Seok-Hyeon‘s disapproval. She told him it was an emergency and left the store.

[00:46:00] A few hours earlier, Seo Yi-Kyung was speaking with Lee Eun-Hyeok regarding their situation. She told him they needed to act collectively to ensure everyone’s survival. Seo Yi-Kyung went to the basement to find the electrical room. Meanwhile, Cha Hyun-Su found the children. The children wanted Cha Hyun-Su to find and save their father, but he told them no one could survive a fall from the 12^th floor. The children didn’t know what to do. Cha Hyun-Su told them they needed to reach the 14^th floor. He assured them he would protect them against the monsters outside.

[00:50:00] Seo Yi-Kyung made her way to the basement, searching for the electrical room, while Cha Hyun-Su led the kids out of the apartment. He suddenly experienced pain in his chest and his arm. Cha Hyun-Su’s nose bled profusely as the kids went back to check on him. He told the children to get away from him; he closed the apartment door on them. Cha Hyun-Su had a flashback of what happened to him previously before his life spiraled out of control. His eyes turned pitch black as his nose continued to bleed. Cha Hyun-Su was starting to mutate into a monster.
