What does it truly take to live like proper human beings? How are we different from the monsters that we so despise or fear? These are just a few of the philosophical questions that came to mind while watching the Netflix Original Kdrama thriller "Sweet Home". Listen to this episode and join the discussion wherever you are. Before I forget, this is the Season 1 Finale of Kingka Podcast.
There are several SPOILERS in this episode. It would be best to listen after having watched the show if you don't like spoilers.
DISCLAIMER: Again, there are people talking in the background from time to time. Please let it slide for this episode and just imagine that you and I are in a coffee shop talking about K-drama. ;)
