[HanCinema's News] Shin Mun-sung Grabs Attention for Minor Role in "Sweet Home"

With the release of "Sweet Home" on Netflix several cast members whose exact roles were not confirmed in advance have since been clarified. Among these is actor Shin Mun-sung, who has been confirmed to be playing a middle-aged security guard. Normally such a character would not have been noticed- except that with his noteworthy bloody nose, Shin Mun-sung appears to offer some hint as to how persons within the drama have been turning into monsters.

Moments like this also hint at a greater backstory, stoking interest in fans for a possible season two. There's plenty of material to adapt- even if the opener of "Sweet Home" suggests some important divergence with the original webtoon, as well as suggesting the death of the main character as a framing device. Shin Mun-sung generally plays unnamed and minor characters, although he did have a major role in the independent movie "Tiny Light" from earlier this year.
