The scene where he cries in the church was so good. Terrific actor.

This series was excellent. So well done. Episode 9 was so intense, I was having heart palps. Really liked this and how they wrapped it all up.

This was a wild show. Without giving away spoilers, just wished it had ended differently. I also think it's a great reminder that you just don't know what someone is going through beyond the brief interaction you have with them. I thought this was a great breakout role for Ali Wong and loved steven yeun, Felt so much empathy toward him

No, Changing Lanes is a drama/thriller. Beef is more dark comedy/drama.


Aren’t they both about road rage? Beef delves into the family lives and a little about the participants’ upbringings and motivations. It was very good.
Yes. The movie Unhinged was also about road rage. But they are not redo's of each other.

I got bored during the first episode. So depressing. Characters are annoying.

I might try to get back into it to see if it picks up. Is there any humor to it, or is it all slow, dark, and a mix of despair and whining?
Yes. But from your impression of the first episode, it sounds like this just isn't your cup of tea. I have plenty of shows that were popular that I just couldn't get into. Schitt's Creek for example, tried to watch it twice. Could not get into it.

The tone keeps changing, and the time jumps were confusing. I support it in theory.

It’s so good. This is going to win lots of awards! This is not at all a spoiler but it’s giving me modern day war of the roses vibes.

If you’re a fan, have you seen the movie Burning? I think it’s on Amazon streaming right now. I watched it because I’m a little obsessed with the main actor, but Steven Yuen was really good in his role too. Warning, though: it’s one of those movies where you have to pay close attention. I was the tiniest bit bored by the slow pace, but then the ending blew my mind and made me reconsider everything I had seen.

(And on the Beef front, I was afraid I’d hate the characters but then read a very strong review today about how well they’re drawn as full-fledged people with complicated personalities. So now I think I’m in!)


I have seen it! It both completely freaked me out and ruined me for all future K films.
