Squid Game season 3 premiers in 2025, and Netflix already has the perfect K-drama to watch while waiting for it. Although the show had already been officially renewed for a third season before the second one came out, many were surprised by Squid Game season 2’s cliffhanger. The fact that Squid Game season 2 felt incomplete can be frustrating, but fortunately, the show will not take long to return. That said, Netflix has some great K-dramas that are similar to Squid Game in some ways and that can ease the wait for season 3.

Squid Game season 2’s cast saw the return of Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun but also introduced a lot of new characters. K-drama fans probably recognized many of the new faces in Squid Game, most of whom had already played important roles in other successful shows. Although there is a long list of K-dramas starring or at least featuring Squid Game actors,...

This article contains spoilers for Sweet Home season 1.

At the press conference for season 2 of Netflix monster K-drama Sweet Home, new cast member Kim Mu-yeol admitted that, when he got the gig, he had to rewatch the ending of season 1 because he had forgotten what happened. Relatable. It’s been three years since the first season dropped on Netflix, becoming the first ever K-drama to rank in the streamer’s U.S. Top Ten. The global success of the K-horror series spurred Netflix to order two more seasons, which were filmed together. With all eight episodes of season 2 dropping on Netflix on Dec. 1, here’s everything you need to remember about season 1…

What Happened in Sweet Home Season 1?

The first season of Sweet Home was adapted from a webtoon of the same name, and follows the residents of Seoul’s Green Home Apartments during the outbreak of the monster apocalypse.

This is not a happy family. Dad (Tae-hoon Lee) works a night security guard shift that makes it so he arrives home as Mom (Min-Kyung Kim) leaves to dry peppers in the sun the next morning. He wants quiet. She wants support. They ultimately sit in silence while eating. Their son (Kang Gil-woo) works as an aide for the disabled, driving around and taking care of patients on the way to their appointments. He doesn’t make much—at least not enough for a permanent place to stay with his fiancée (Kim Guk-Hee). Instead they spend their nights in cheap hotels, paying more than they’d like yet not enough to pivot towards a mortgage. It’s take-out dinners and quiet evenings, every day a repetitive reminder of the unavoidable monotony.

Rather than set this quartet up for better days, writer-director Seo-jin Yoon decides to capture their depressive malaise and...
