A clever Sweet Home season 3 theory claims that the monster curse will end thanks to a character introduced in season 2. Sweet Home season 3 will be its final, bringing the Song Kang Netflix K-drama to an end four years after its debut. Whereas the second season took three years to be released, season 3 is arriving less than a year after the second chapter. Sweet Home season 2 was not as well received as the show’s first chapter, particularly due to the amount of new characters and the lack of Hyun-su.

Sweet Home season 2’s new characters may have been divisive, but many of them were interesting additions to the show. With the Green Home destroyed at the end of season 2, Sweet Home had to introduce new characters and locations. The final season is now expected to combine all these different storylines into one grand finale. Given that Sweet Home has gone beyond its source material already, it can be difficult to predict how the show will end. Still, one character introduced in season 2 will likely be very important in Sweet Home’s series finale.

Yi-kyung’s Daughter Is The Key To End The Monster Curse – Theory Explained

“The Child” can turn other people into monsters in Sweet Home.

Sweet Home season 2 introduced a mysterious new character who, despite being a neohuman like Hyun-su, had a very different set of powers. This unnamed child could turn other people into monsters just by touching them, which is something that had never happened in Sweet Home. Additionally, the child could control the minds of whoever they infected. Lastly, the child could also read other people’s minds. It was later revealed that the monster kid was Yi-kyung’s daughter, whose birth was shown at the beginning of the season in one of the most intense Sweet Home scenes.

Yi-kyung, who had been pregnant since the first season, gave birth to a monster in season 2 just before the time jump. The scene in which Yi-kyung realizes her child was born with the monster curse is very dark, both visually and thematically. The baby ran away, and after the time jump, it was unclear what had happened to them. The Netflix K-drama later revealed that both Yi-kyung and her daughter survived and that the latter had evolved into a neohuman. Considering the mysterious nature of her powers, Yi-kyung’s daughter could be the one to end the monster curse.

Sweet Home’s Monster Child Is Powerful Enough To End The Curse

Yi-kyung’s daughter was born a monster.

Yi-kyung’s daughter is the only known case of someone who was born with the monster curse and slowly regained a human form. This alone suggests she is special and will have an important role to play in Sweet Home’s final season. It is important to notice that both Netflix’s Sweet Home and the webtoon strongly suggest that the monster outbreak comes from a supernatural curse and not a virus or any biological weapon. Therefore, there may not be a scientific cure or vaccine for the monsterization process. This is why Yi-kyung’s daughter might be the key to ending the curse.

If the girl can turn people into monsters and even control their minds, it is reasonable to think she can also revert monsters and neohumans into humans. Sweet Home’s Yi-kyung does not exist in the webtoon, meaning her daughter does not exist either. The show would not have introduced such a powerful new character if there were no bigger plans for her. Both Sweet Home season 3 trailers have featured Yi-kyung’s daughter quite a lot, suggesting she will indeed have a major role in the final season.

Hyun-su is Sweet Home’s Protagonist, But He Can’t Stop The Curse

Hyun-su may not be the one to save the day after all.

Song Kang’s Hyun-su is Sweet Home’s main character and ultimate hero, which does not mean he will be the one to save the day at the end. As powerful as Hyun-su is, it is unreasonable to think he can put an end to the monster crisis. Even if Hyun-su defeats Sang-wok’s army of neohumans, there will always be tension among humans and monsters. Therefore, ending the monster curse is arguably the only way to end the conflict. Additionally, Yi-kyung’s daughter was raised by Hyun-su for almost a year and must have learned something from him.

Sweet Home season 3’s trailer has me worried about what will happen to Song Kang’s Hyun-su, who’s ready to do whatever it takes to stop Sang-won.

As the most powerful character on the show, the child will have to make an important decision in Sweet Home season 3. By the end of season 2, Yi-kyung’s daughter could not be reasonable and even turned her mother into a monster. The child has reasons to hate humans after what was done to her, but Hyun-su’s influence may cause her to make the right decision in the end. What the right decision should be is open for debate, as humans have proven to be as much of a threat to the world as the monsters.
