Season one concluded with Sang Wook (Lee Jin Wook) driving Hyun Soo away in an armored truck while the residents of Green Home seek an escape route in the hopes of finding a safe haven. At the same time, the special forces are on the hunt for half-turned humans, and now the fate of Hyun Soo rests with the special infectee that has taken over Sang Wook’s body, with no idea where he is heading.
While there isn’t much information about the second season since there hasn’t been an official teaser or trailer released yet, the director Lee Eung Bok stated that he would keep the story as faithful to the webtoon as possible.

More than that, fans are eager to see the interactions between Hyun Soo and Sang Wook and unearth the true intentions of the latter. It’s possible that Hyun Soo will do everything he can to save Sang Wook before the monster takes full control of him, and regardless of what happens, it appears that we’re in for an exhilarating ride.
