In 2019, Song Kang got the lead role in the Netflix original K-drama, Love Alarm, which ended up being integral to his acting career. Before starring in Love Alarm, Song Kang had roles in other K-dramas such as The Liar and His Lover, Touch Your Heart, and When the Devil Calls Your Name. Based on the webtoon of the same name by Chon Kye-young, Love Alarm focuses on how an app that can detect if someone in a 10m radius is in love with a person affects the people who use it.
When the K-drama was released, it was praised for having a unique premise that isn't usually employed in shows about romance. Song Kang and the other cast members of Love Alarm give an incredible performance in the show, so it's no wonder that it helped the “Son of Netflix” gain popularity.

2024 was a big year for Song Kang between My Demon and the final season of Sweet Home, but his next K-drama role should be very different from characters like Gu-won and Hyun-su. After three years of waiting, Sweet Home returned for a second season on December 2023, allowing viewers to finally revisit Song Kangs Cha Hyun-su. A week before that, My Demon had premiered on Kst, with new episodes arriving every week on Netflix. My Demon concluded on January 20, 2024, with Sweet Home season 3 arriving six months later on July 2024.
With two hugely popular shows coming out around the same time over the past year, Song Kang confirmed his Son of Netflix status. My Demon was one of the best K-dramas of 2024, and while the final two seasons of Sweet Home werent as good as the first, the horror K-drama remained popular. Song Kang is currently completing his obligatory military service, which...

Sweet Home's cast features Song Kang and other popular K-drama stars. The show introduced new characters in season 2 and revisited old ones in season 3. Song Kang, Go Min-si, Lee Do-hyun, and other key actors play significant character roles.
Sweet Homes cast is led by Song Kang and includes a lot of fan-favorite actors and rising K-drama stars. A year after its first original Korean series, Love Alarm, Netflix released Sweet Home. The big-budget K-drama based on a webtoon brought Song Kang, who had starred in Love Alarm, in the leading role of Cha Hyun-su. Since then, the list of K-dramas available on Netflix has only grown, with Song Kang in particular starring in several series that are currently available on the streaming platform.
Sweet Homes original cast mostly consisted of characters from the webtoon, such as Hyun-su and Eun-hyeok. However, the show also featured a couple of original names like Yi-kyung.

The Dmz is a lethal no man’s land that divides the Korean Peninsula. For South Korea, it’s a first line of defence against an invasion from the North. For North Korea, it’s a last measure to stop its citizens who try to escape from the country. Sergeant Lim Kyu Nam is stationed on the north side of it, but not for much longer. His ten-year enlistment is almost up. But he isn’t going home, he’s planned out an escape to the South, where he at least has a chance to live the life he dreams of.
Unfortunately, Dong-hyuk discovers his plans and tries to make his own escape. When he tries to stop him, they both get caught and accused of desertion. The only...

Song Kang can explore more roles now that Sweet Home is ending with season 3, marking the completion of a significant project. Hyun-su, played by Song Kang, is a standout character in Sweet Home, serving as the heart and soul of the series. Expect Hyun-su to face moral dilemmas and inner demons in Sweet Home's final season, shaping the outcome of the war between humans and monsters.
Sweet Home is ending with season 3, and while Ill miss Cha Hyun-su, this makes me even more excited about Song Kangs future K-drama roles. Sweet Home season 3 was confirmed over three years ago when the Netflix original K-drama was renewed for two more seasons following its successful debut. Presumably, Sweet Homes final two seasons were shot back to back, with the third one releasing less than a year after the second. More recently, Netflix confirmed that Sweet Home season 3 will be the shows last.
