Sweet 16 Full Episodes
Kahlil Algya
Okay, so I am a HUGE Fairly Odd Parents fan. I watch it whenever I can.Lately however, I have been really busy, so I missed a lot of the new episodes in Season 5. Once the box set came out, I tried to buy it, but I did not have enough money. Luckily, one of my friends, who was also a huge fan of the show, had let me borrow his copy of the set so I could see the episodes that I missed.When I had first picked up the box set, I faintly noticed that the Nickelodeon logo was missing from the front cover. I did not really let it process through my mind though. Over the coming weeks, I slowly watched the episodes whenever I could.
When I was about to finish it, I noticed something odd. There was an episode numbered 21. All of the seasons, including this one, ended in 20 episodes. This 21st episode was titled "Sweet Revenge". I attempted to Google the episode, to no avail. So, as you can guess, I played the episode.
About one minute into it, he went out of his room to go downstairs. About five seconds after he was down the stairs, his dad walked through the front door with a bloodstained machete in his hand. Timmy, about as terrified as I was at this point, screamed.
His dad mumbled something, but I could barely make out anything except for the consonant "Berg". My mind was too freaked out to process that. His dad walked normally, but with a criminally successful feeling, across the living room to the kitchen. He wiped off the knife and placed it back into the cabinet it as if nothing had ever happened. My mind wanted to stop the episode, but I kept going.
The episode cut to the next scene. Timmy was playing anxiously in his room, with the expression like he had just seen a ghost. The camera shot switched to an angled shot so I could see out of Timmy's door. I vaguely saw the shadow of his dad walking down the hallway with the machete in his hand.
Cosmo quickly warned Timmy and they attempted to poof away. However, Timmy's dad, having burst through the door, frantically tried to get his son. He threw the knife at Timmy, but horribly missed and instead, gouged out Cosmo's eye. Cosmo lets out a throat-shredding scream as blood poured out furiously.
Wanda, somehow oblivious to what had just happened to Cosmo, poofed away. Timmy, having been teleported to downtown Dimmsdale, tried to find a telephone to call the police. Upon picking up the payphone, he suddenly heard a voice. It was his dad's voice, but his tone was demonic. Petrified, he shut his eyes and tried to wake himself up, as if he was in a dream. Before he knew it, he could not reopen his eyes, and it seemed as if his eyes were melting. The blood from them formed a devil's pentagram inside his eyelids.
The episode switched scenes. Timmy woke up in his bed as if nothing ever happened. His Fairy Godparents were not there to greet him, but he could hear the sounds of Wanda's crying. When Timmy looked over to her, he could see what she was crying about.
The next day, my parents had to literally force me to go to school. Eventually, after being nearly dragged there, I was starting to feel the effects of not sleeping. I decided to close my eyes for second. I suddenly saw an incredibly bright flash of red light. I cannot express the fear I had felt from seeing that light.
After an unexpected tragedy kills his entire family and leaves him as the only survivor, Cha Hyun-su leaves his family home and relocates into the run down apartment complex known as Green Home. One night, horrific monsters begin appearing and ravage the city. Hyun-su and his fellow residents band together within the confines of the complex and must fight for their survival against the new, otherworldly threat. Hyun-su starts having monster symptoms and has the ability to turn into a monster with wings whenever he desires. Others from the apartment turn into monster of things they desire.
The survivors of Green Home venture out into the ruined world beyond its walls. Meanwhile, governmental bodies and scientific institutions continue in their efforts to study the monsters, hoping to find a cure.
Director Lee Eung-bok "roughly" knew the ending of the Line Webtoon on which the series is based before the webtoon's finale in July 2020, though he decided to "differ a bit from the webtoon because [they're] showing on different platforms."[23] Ultimately, the live-action adaptation deviates dramatically from the original.
Although filming had already started, Netflix officially announced the series' lineup on December 18, 2019, with Song Kang, Lee Jin-wook and Lee Si-young in lead roles, andLee Do-hyun, Kim Nam-hee, Go Min-si, Park Gyu-young, Go Youn-jung, Kim Kap-soo and Kim Sang-ho as part of the ensemble cast.[25][26]
Lee Eung-bok revealed that, during Song Kang's audition, the actor reminded him of Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands: "an image of someone who has a pure and innocent soul but is holding a spear in his hand."[24] The actor was recommended to Lee Eung-bok by the director of Netflix's Love Alarm which propelled him to fame in August 2019.[27] Lee Si-young's character does not appear in the original webtoon but the director "wanted to add a female character who can pull off really cool action scenes"; the actress being a former amateur boxer. She trained for six months prior to filming the series.[24] Park Gyu-young admitted that she did not have high hopes about being picked for the series but "as soon as [she] left the audition set, the director called [her] and said to leave with a script."[24]
Designers from Legacy Effects, VFX Studio Westworld and Spectral Motion, who worked on films such as the Avengers and Avataras well as the television series Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, were recruited for Sweet Home.[30][31]
On November 18, 2020, Netflix released a trailer for the series announcing that Sweet Home would premiere on December 18.[32] In June 2022, the series was picked up for two additional seasons.[33]
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 83% based on 6 reviews, with an average rating of 6.6/10.[34] The second season has an approval rating of 80% based on 5 reviews, with an average rating of 5.9/10.[35]
Joel Keller of Decider said that "despite its flaws and a premise we've seen before, Sweet Home distinguishes itself by its setting and its monsters. We will see if the drama between the survivors will keep us watching."[37]
Pierce Conran of South China Morning Post gave a rating of 3/5, saying that "despite a breathless opening episode and some grisly fun throughout, Sweet Home does not provide much of a story for viewers to get hooked on."[38]
In another mixed review, Meagan Navarro of Bloody Disgusting said that "what sprints out of the gate and sets up an exciting creature-filled horror series quickly comes to a slow crawl zombie apocalypse that we've seen many times before. It just swaps out the zombies for monsters."[39]
Sweet Home was the first South Korean series to enter Netflix's Top 10 in the United States,[23] reaching as high as third.[1] Three days after its release, the series ranked first in 8 regions and was within the Top 10 in 42 regions.[40] The show was viewed by 22 million paid subscribers worldwide in the first 4 weeks of its release and appeared in the Netflix top 10 in more than 70 countries.[41]
It was praised by viewers for its "high-quality visual effects" and "the deep human connections among the characters." However, many criticized the soundtrack which they believe did not fit with the story, as well as the lack of monsters in the latter episodes of the season. On this, director Lee Eung-bok said that "[he] know[s] some of the viewers were anticipating more gore, but [he] hope[s] they will understand why monsters were absent from some parts of our drama."[42]
This worry had been growing, even during a season that I found---by and large---to be an improvement over Season 2, and the midseason premiere, for which I had set my hopes high, was a huge disappointment.
Sunday night's episode has once again rekindled my hopes for the show. It was one of the strongest episodes in the season so far. And while my doubts remain, at least tonight we've seen just how good this show can be.
In 'Home' Rick is still "wandering around crazyland" as Glenn puts it, trekking in zombie-infested woods tracking the ghost of his dead wife. He tells Hershel that he knows she's not real, but that he believes the visions mean something. We're seeing, finally, Rick's vulnerable side emerge. He may be in a grief-stricken crazyland, but his anger seems to have dwindled somehow.
Meanwhile,Glenn, still in a rage over the assault on Maggie (and, to a lesser degree, on himself) has decided that with Rick and Daryl both gone that puts him in charge. He's come to this from a place of need rather than logic---he's far less interested in leading than he is in that green-eyed monster, revenge.
Hershel, as the Wise Old Adviser, remains largely impotent, his advice consistently falling on deaf ears and thick skulls. Neither Rick nor Glenn will listen to his advice, though to his credit he remains Zen in the face of constant dismissal.
Maggie and Glenn remain at odds, though I'm not sure why. Maybe this is just poor writing, but I'm having a really hard time believing the tension between the two. I could believe a certain level of awkwardness, and I can certainly see how both characters might fall into a funk after the assault on Maggie, the beating of Glenn, and the near-execution of them both.
But I don't believe that Glenn is somehow blaming Maggie for what happened, or that it would be in his character to do so. Nor can I fathm Maggie's anger toward Glenn. It makes no sense, either in the context of the situation or the characters involved. If anything, the two characters ought to have been drawn closer together, not because that's what I'd like to see (though it is) but because of their past, their natures, and their initial attraction to one another. This squabble is contrived, a forced tension that is neither necessary or believable.
