Sweet Home season 2 saw eight characters die this season. The show even said goodbye to fan-favorite characters, proving Sweet Home isn’t afraid to kill off lead roles. In a world where anyone can turn into a monster, it’s no surprise that many of the show’s characters come to a brutal end. With that said, it’s always a surprising shock when one or more of the main ensemble of a show is killed off. That uneasy feeling that nobody is safe adds a tremendous amount of tension and stakes to each episode and to season 3’s prospects. It’s looking very likely that the show will end with a sad and gut-wrenching ending.
Sweet Home season 3’s cast is likely to focus on many of the new characters introduced after the time jump following the end of episode 3. Even some of the surviving characters of the Green Home survivors disappear for much of season 2. The new season will miss a few characters from the previous seasons, but this paves the way for fresh, engaging stories with new characters. What was really surprising in season 2 was the sad loss of many characters, including ones that fans loved and some who are still alive in the Webtoon.

While two men chase down Eun-yu as she flees, they encounter the mystery girl (Ah-yi), season 2’s monster child, that paralyzed Dong-gi before. She possesses Dong-gi and kills Sang-jin.
4 Su-yeong
Dies Season 2, Episode 2
Understanding what happened to Su-yeong can be a little confusing as her death isn’t clearly shown on screen. However, by the beginning of episode 3, it’s clear that Su-yeong was killed by Jae-hwan after he turns into a monster. She’s attacked by him after his transformation in the night, while traveling on a bus headed to a new safe location. The episode ends with the remaining survivors grieving over death. Yeong-su cries for his lost sister, and Lee Eun-yu cradles her still body. It’s a harrowing and heartbreaking moment that reminds both the characters and the audience just how quickly life can be stripped away in this vicious world.
3 Jae-hwan
Dies Season 2, Episode 2
On the bus to a new, safe location, Jae-hwan transforms into a monster and kills Su-yeong by strangling her to death. The survivors try to kill him by shooting him, but this only makes his human form transform more monstrous until his entire torso is a mutilated, monstrous face. Chasing the survivors off the bus, he’s doused with alcohol until Ji-Su, bearing the brunt of his ear-piercing screams, sets him on fire with a blow torch. After just witnessing the murder of a young girl, his death feels justified. It’s always tragic to see a character turn into a monster, but after his murder of Su-yeung, it’s a necessary evil.

In the season’s powerful and heart-wrenching finale, Hyun-soo is forced to kill Yi Kyung after she transforms into a monster.

Due to his powers, he can see into her mind and see her inner turmoil and pain. Taking pity on her, to relieve her internal pain of feeling like she failed as a mother, Hyun-soo kills her.

Although we don’t see Ji-su die on screen, it cuts to black as the wreckage is about to collapse. She died trying to save Yeong-su, who, even in her last moments, screamed at him to leave and save himself. A year-long time jump confirms her tragic death, and it’s a gut punch, hammering home just how devastating Sweet Home Season 2’s saddest death truly is.
