Summary
Sweet Homeis over after three season , and I ca n’t await to see what genres and characters Song Kang will take on next . While Song Kang ’s next K - dramatic play may take a whileconsidering he is currently complete his compulsory military divine service , the 30 - year - sometime player is in a very exciting stage of his vocation followingSweet Homeseason 3 ’s endingand the success ofMy Demon . Having played six lead characters already between broadcast shows and Netflix webseries , Song Kang is among the most democratic and talented Korean thespian working mightily now .
Although it ’s hard to forecast what an actor will do next , there are some genres that I would be well-chosen to see Song Kang in . He has already starred in some of thebest Netflix K - dramas , two of which were original productions that premiere solely on the streamer . This ledSong Kang to become roll in the hay as the “ Son of Netflix,”which make me confident thatSweet Homewill not be his last streaming show . Despite his extensive career , there are still some genres and data formatting that Song Kang has n’t explore too much yet .
K - drama are well have it away for their romance , and 2024 has delivered some great new love stories , including My Demon , Queen of Tears , and Lovely Runner .

8A Non-Romance Role In The Style Of Navillera
Navillera Was Different From The Typical K-Dramas
Navillerais the most underrated Song Kang K - play , having allowed the doer to give a more subtle performance compare to his other roles . Unlike most of his shows , Navillerawas not about a romantic couplebut rather about two people from very different domain who stick over their love life for ballet . Song Kang ’s eccentric con a lot from mannequin Deok - chul but also teaches him valuable object lesson . The style and the tincture ofNavilleramake it abide out among Song Kang ’s shows .
SinceNavillera , Song Kang has act quite a few amorous leads , which is why I would love for him to tackle a more subtle theatrical role next . Navilleramay not have been as big asForecasting Love and WeatherorSweet Home , but it was a slap-up show nonetheless . Now that Song Kang ’s big - budget Netflix show has come to an end , a “ smaller ” show with a more dramatic storyline would be a great choice for his next project .
7An Action-Packed K-Drama Thriller
Song Kang Hasn’t Played An Action Hero Yet
While Cha Hyun - su has a lot of action scenes inSweet Home , most of them have a fantastic element to them . In other words , most of the timeSong Kang ’s characteris fighting inSweet Home , everything is being enhance with ocular effects . Between backstage and giant ogre , Sweet Home ’s action mechanism is far from ground . I would love to see Song Kang as the lead in a more realistic thrillerin which he could play an activity hero .
It would be fun to see Song Kang as a detective or soldier in an action - load down limited serial .
The best yard - play thrillers include offence shows , police detective story , and more , none of which are subgenres Song Kang has explore in his career .

Netflix has done some outstanding original potassium - dramatic play thrillers , after all . It would be fun to see Song Kang as a detective or soldier in an action - pack limited series .

6Another Hilarious Rom-Com Like My Demon
Song Kang Was Just Too Funny In My Demon
Shows likeLove AlarmandForecasting Love and Weatherhad already been funny , butMy Demonis by far Song Kang ’s most hilarious function . The show , which started at the end of 2023 and reason as one of the near K - drama of 2024 , appropriate Song Kang to show his funniness chops in a manner that none of his previous role had . The actor plays the titular demon fromMy Demon – a 200 - year - old being who was once human but now contemn humanity .
As expect , Gu - won ends up falling for a man , Kim Yoo - jung ’s Do Doo - he . After seeing Song Kang in more serious roles such asNeverthelessandSweet rest home , I had a blast understand him as a fiend who ca n’t help but fall down in love with a homo whose personality is the all over opposite of his . It may be too before long for Song Kang to tackle another comedic role sinceMy Demonjust ended , but I go for it was n’t his last funniness .

From sci - fi to fantasy , there are well-nigh no limitation as to what types of musical genre Netflix could tackle next for its next Korean webseries . Song Kang in a big - budget sci - fi show could be fascinating afterSweet Home , and so would be a fantasy role .
4A Grounded Romance Like Nevertheless
Nevertheless Was A More Realistic K-Drama
Neverthelessis the most singular of Song Kang ’s romanticist yard - drama in the mother wit that it tells a grounded , realistic chronicle that ditches some of the musical genre ’s figure . Han So - hee and Song Kangplay very relatable character who do not treat their potential human relationship as a fairy story . Quite the wayward , but of them are afraid of invest to a serious human relationship after previous experiences . Neverthelessis also a quitesteamy cat valium - play .
After play a human turned into a devil and an immortal demon , it could be good for Song Kang to take on a more relatable character like the one fromNevertheless . Having his theatrical role enter a complicated , messy family relationship after the hilarious dynamic ofMy Demon ’s lead couple also be fun . Neverthelessmade me emotional and attached to the characters , which is why I would love to see him in a alike show .
3A Romance K-Drama That Defies All Tropes Like Queen Of Tears
Song Kang Would Be The Perfect Lead In A Park Ji-eun Drama
Song Kang is already one of the best actors of his multiplication , which is why he would be the perfect tantrum for a show that defies all image likeQueen of Tears . While all of his romantic K - dramas have been great , they mostly play safe when it issue forth to the expectations of the genre . making love Alarmwas a traditional high school drama with a sexual love triangle;Forecasting Love and Weatherleaned heavily on its controversial hint couple;Neverthelessdid not have too many twists and was more of a boring burn , andMy Demonwas as funny as we require .
There has yet to be a romance grand - drama starring Song Kang that hold all expectationsand delivers something that is both heartwarming and tragic . A show in the style ofCrash Landing on Youwhere the termination of the story is semisweet , or a love storey that is doomed from the showtime , would be inspired option for Song Kang ’s next role .
2Another K-Drama Collaboration With Go Min-si
Song Kang & Go Min-si Would Shine As A Lead K-Drama Couple
AfterLove AlarmandSweet Home , I hope Song Kang and Go Min - si workplace together again . see that their characters were not romantically involve inLove Alarmand thatSweet Homedid not give Hyun - su a definitive love pastime , it could be interesting to have Song Kang and Go Min - si as the lead in a romantic G - drama . Their career have so far mirror each other in many shipway , starting withLove Alarmand then becoming Netflix favorite . Go Min - si is now star inThe Frogfor the streamer .
Hyun - su and Eun - yu ’s scenes together inSweet Homewere a highlighting of the show , especially in season 3 after they had pass so much clip out from each other . Both nifty lead actors in their own right , Song Kang and Go Min - sicould make for a fantastic K - dramatic play couple if given the right scrip . I would wish to see them reunify for a project that is completely unlike from the repugnance K - drama , like to when Go Min - si and Lee Do - hyun reunited for Youth of May afterSweet Homeseason 1 .
1Bonus: Song Kang In A Hollywood Movie
Park Seo-joon Was Recently In The Marvels
After watching Park Seo - joon inThe Marvelsand Lee Jung - jae inThe Acolyte , I can not help but imagine what Song Kang in a Hollywood movie or television set show would be like . Seeing Park Seo - joon join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for his first Hollywood role was fabulously exciting , even though his quality , Prince Yan , only appeared for a couple of minute of arc . Lee Jung - jae ’s role inThe Acolytewas solid , with the 51 - year - former actor playing one of the leading role in the Disney+Star Warsshow .
Song Kang is expect to be clear from the armed forces in 2025 .
Now that he has take one of Netflix ’s most pop original show for three season , Sweet Home , I would not be surprised to see Song Kang in a Hollywood undertaking . Be it in a small role or a more significant part , Song Kang ’s appearance in an English - language movie or TV show could be an exciting move for his calling after so many great leading role in K - dramas . The amusement diligence is more globalized than ever , meaning that actors appearing or even starring in productions from other countries are n’t as unlikely as it was until a few years ago .
