The duel of the Japanese Alice in Borderland against the Korean Sweet Home is won by Japan. Sweet Home is a decent adaptation with an excellent concept, but not completely satisfying, and unfortunately the series did not manage to fully sell the material. The idea of an infection transforming people into monsters instead of zombies is really cool, but it's a shame that the series takes place only in an apartment building, and practically never leaves. So there is no army clearing the city and that really disappoints me. The first three episodes maintain a very intense pace, not sparing action or violence, and introduce quite a few monsters. The monsters range from decent to excellent (Slenderman and the spider turned out well). and I also enjoyed the characters (the mysterious gangster and the firefighter with military training were great), but after the third episode, the series slightly falls apart and focuses on what I feared the most: character development and interaction, which I really don't want to see during a monster apocalypse. It's a pity, from the second half, the monsters step aside and the series takes a less satisfying direction. Episode 9 kicked it off action-wise, but the finale is too calm for my taste and definitely not appropriately epic. But I have to praise the music a lot, the popular soundtrack Warriors from the game League of Legends played at least five times and fit perfectly. The visuals are also well done and overall, I wasn't bored, but there could have been much more done with the concept. Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to the second season, because I'm really interested in that world. Story***, Action****, Humor>No, Violence***, Enjoyment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere***, Suspense***. 7/10.

(Episodes 1-4) A group of exceptionally unlikeable (and not even well portrayed) inhabitants of a big building wander around corridors and sometimes run into some sort of monster that looks like out of a comic book or a video game. I Googled what those monsters look like in the comic the film is based on and in this regard the adaptation looks very faithful. But in live action I find this video game aesthetics really awful. So, the horror/action sequences of Sweet Home didn’t bring me any joy, and the dialogue sequences are not worth mentioning at all, they are terrible.
