Cha Hyun-soo (played by Song Kang) got infected and gained healing powers. Since he has a strong desire to die, his monster transformation does not turn him evil.

At the end of Sweet Home Season 1, he surrenders himself to the South Korean military so that the other survivors can escape. He is returning in Sweet Home Season 2.

Pyeon Sang-wook

At the end of the first season, Pyeon Sang-wook (played by Lee Jin-wook) is seen driving a military truck with Hyun-soo in the backseat. There are theories that this is not really Sang-wook but the shape-shifting monster, Ui-myeong (played by Kim Sung-cheol).

Other theories suggest that he could have survived despite being infected. Either way, we'll likely see him return in the second season.

Seo Yi-kyung
