Sweet Home Season 2’s Cast & Character Guide

WARNING: This article contains minor spoilers for Sweet Home season 2.

Sweet Home season 2’s cast sees both returning and new characters in an ambitious story that even includes a time jump. Considering many Sweet Home characters died in season 1, it was easy to predict that season 2 would introduce a couple of new faces. However, the new season surprisingly features a lot of new characters, ranging from comic reliefs to names that will be extremely important in what comes next based on Sweet Home season 2’s ending.

Although Sweet Home season 2 picks up from where season 1 left off, the hit Netflix K-drama series takes an interesting turn at the beginning of episode 4. The one-year time jump allowed Sweet Home to reinvent its set of characters and follow the original ones in a different chapter of their lives. Most of Sweet Home season 1’s lead actors return for season 2, although some had more screen time than others.
