Will You Stay a Monster or Will You Stay a Human, Sweet Home Season 2 Teaser Poster Spotlights Hyun-su and His Wing

Tweet

Netflix has unveiled the teaser poster for Sweet Home Season 2. In a world where desire turns monstrous, Sweet Home Season 2 follows Green Home survivors and Hyun-su all fighting to survive in new places, while otherworldly beings and mysterious phenomena emerge.

In the teaser poster, Hyun-su is featured spreading his spiked wing with the ruined stadium in the background. Helicopters have pinpointed their lights on him, as well as snipers, intensifying the suspense of what will unfold in the new season. Having fought against monsterization and serving as the one hope for Green Home residents, Hyun-su now faces a new dilemma: Will he remain a monster, or a human, in the outside world filled with other monsters?

Song Kang, returning as a more complex and mature Hyun-su, says, “I always yearned for more emotional depth and dramatic elements for my character. Coming back to Sweet Home, I was able to satisfy much of that yearning, delving into more dramatic emotions, as well as allowing me to explore and understand myself and further grow.”

Director Lee Eung-bok further explains that Season 2 “focuses on Hyun-su’s journey after surviving on the brink of despair, highlighting his unwavering determination to not give up on his humanity even until the very end.”

Sweet Home fans have yet to see how Song Kang will portray Hyun-su’s inner struggles between his hope to remain human and accepting monsterization in order to protect other people, as well as his growth and sacrifices in the new season.

Sweet Home Season 2 premieres on December 1, only on Netflix.

Bring new life to your home this holiday season

 

When it comes to decorating our homes for the holidays, we usually go with what we’re familiar with. We bust out Christmas decorations from years past – some even passed down by our elders – to add a festive vibe to each room and the outside of the house. Of course, there will also be moments when we mix the old with something fresh and modern to change things up at home.

 

If you’re on the hunt for unique holiday decor that isn’t just your usual red and green, look no further as Curated Home, the premium home brand under Robinsons Department Store, recently launched its “Fantastical Christmas” collection. This line of carefully curated items aims to bring joy and festivity into homes during the holiday season, infusing them with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

Curated Home currently has a special promo across all Robinsons Department Store branches nationwide for the “Fantastical Christmas” collection. The collection is also available via GoCart, LazMall, and Shopee Mall. Here’s what you can expect from this festive decor line:

 

From elegant decor to practical essentials

Add an elegant touch to your holiday spread and decor with colorful vases, decorative trays with eye-catching patterns, and minimalist art. Curated Home’s “Fantastical Christmas” collection offers a diverse range of pieces that are both elegant and practical. You can even use them beyond the Christmas season.

 

Place your holiday knick-knacks in Curated Home’s new Decorative Wooden Trays (P1,499), which come in colorful abstract and floral designs. For a classy choice, there’s also a circular Decorative Tray (P1,499) with a fantastical black and white pattern.

 

You can also spruce up your tables with a uniquely shaped Curated Home’s line of Glass Vases (P999 each) for your floral arrangements. One variant comes in a rounded rectangle shape in red, blue, or green. Another design is an asymmetrical vase in bright yellow.

 

Bring your walls to life with Curated Home’s Framed Art Decor (P999), which showcases minimalist abstract art that can add contrast to the loud Christmas decorations.

 

A blending of traditional and contemporary

Holidays are all about bringing together old family traditions and making room for contemporary ones to cater to newer preferences. Curated Home’s “Fantastical Christmas” collection lets you do that by adding rustic elements to your tablescape with a modern touch. This includes Decorative Wooden Trays (P1,499) made from local materials and a set of Coasters (P1,499) with unique carvings on them.

 

You can skip some of the Santa-printed pillowcases for your couch. Go with Curated Home’s Throw Pillowcase (P599 and P699) with a gold streamer and pine leaf markings for that Christmassy feel.

HONOR is the No. 1 Smartphone Brand in China, PH to echo success next year

Tweet

According to the latest Canalys, IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, and Counterpoint’s Market Pulse Service studies for the third quarter of 2023, HONOR is a clear landslide winner getting the first spot for all reports.

“This success gives us more confidence here in the Philippines to do even better and achieve greater heights sooner than later. We are very young, but you know what they say, the youngest is the most aggressive so better watch out for HONOR Philippines especially in 2024,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

Although the smartphone market subsequently fell in China, it is still seen that HONOR had an outstanding annual growth with 1.8%, 1.1% and –1% in IDC, Counterpoint and Canalys respectively – the most impressive performance among other brands. In terms of market share, HONOR is without a doubt the No. 1 smartphone brand, getting 19.3% from IDC, 18.3% from Counterpoint, and 18% from Canalys with the second seed in both reports at 16-17%.

This feat is led by HONOR taking over the foldable market having HONOR Magic V2 as the No. 1 choice among all foldable models in China, as authorized by IDC and Counterpoint.

HONOR Philippines is eager to replicate this success in no time. To check out the wide array of HONOR devices in the country, you can go to an Experience or Partner store near you or online via: Lazada (bit.ly/HONORPHLaz), Shopee (bit.ly/HONORPHShpe), and TikTok Shop (bit.ly/HONORPHTikTok).
