Series creator Lee Sung Jin provides insight into Beef
In a recent interview with Variety, the creator of Beef Lee Sung Jin reflected on the compulsive and intense relationship between the two main characters.
When discussing Amy and Danny, Lee Sung Jin reflected on their inability to be authentic with those around them. “Both assume incorrectly that they cannot show their true selves to anyone in their lives”.
He went further, alluding to the bizarre connection the characters develop:
“Part of the reason they’re drawn to each other is they can feel this other person is as broken and messy as they are”
Lee pinpoints the core theme of the show by revealing the meaning behind the final episode of Beef, titled Figures Of Light. “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” Using the quote from Carl Jung as the series’ emotional foundation, Lee claims this is “ultimately what this show is about.”
Beef is available to stream now on Netflix after releasing on Thursday, April 6, 2023.
