"Somebody" is a story that blends the human urge to find and connect with someone who is uniquely my with a new modern civilization known as a social connecting app.

"It's considered a thriller, but it's more like a strange melodrama that goes down to the floor," director Jung Ji-woo remarked on this day, adding, "It's a story about the process of finding someone who wants to communicate and knows how I feel."

Furthermore, Kim Young-kwang, who played Sung Yoon-oh, a murderer with dark and twisted inclinations, stated, "I think the word challenge is correct." I was delighted to be able to accept the assignment ""I had so much fun doing it that I didn't realize it was hard at all," he said, adding, "and I was thrilled to shoot it." "At first, I debated whether to include a lot of concepts, but as time passed, I acted with a lot of thoughts of not doing anything," he explained.

Kim Young-kwang, in particular, was looking forward to the reactions of global followers as the work was launched on Netflix. According to Kim Young-kwang, "Isn't it wonderful to see in so many countries?

Korean content is likewise becoming increasingly popular. "I'm looking forward to it," he remarked, smiling. Meanwhile, "Somebody" was released in the United States on Friday, November 18, 22.

1. The plot of the drama "Somebody".

"Somebody" is a work that contains the hearts of three friends, Kim Sum (Kang Hae-rim), Mokwon (Kim Yong-ji), and Ki-eun (Kim Soo-yeon), who will investigate serial killer Yoon-truth. oh's (Kim Young-kwang). Yoon-oh met and murdered people via the dating app "Somebody." Kim Sum, the app's creator, has Asperger syndrome, which makes it difficult to grasp regular people's emotions. Yoon-oh will have a relationship with Island (Kang Hae-rim) and Ki-eun through "Somebody" (Kim Soo-yeon). Mokwon, a shaman and friend of Seom and Ki-eun, makes another step toward his identification with them.

Through his films "Happy End," "Eungyo," "Wisdom Teeth," and "Modern Boy," director Jung Ji-woo has posed concerns about love. And, just as he discovered actor Kim Go-eun through "Eungyo," the three actresses Kang Kang-rim, Kim Yong-ji, and Kim Soo-yeon he discovered through "Somebody" made them eager to work. "I have no regrets because I do it as much as I want," coach Jung Ji-woo said of “Somebody.”

3. Planning Intention and Theme Consciousness

"I wanted to express the urgent need of humanity to connect with someone," said director Jung Ji-woo, who has drawn the inner side of humans in the films "Happy End," "Eungyo," and “Modern Boy.”

"The first part of the plot was three people who defeated the villain," director Jung Ji-woo explained. "The story began with each of them having their own issues, and it was good." "I wanted to draw those people in a common, unremarkable way," he explained. “I wanted to draw them like someone who enjoys common desires and everyday life so that my self-esteem was not severely damaged.” "I understood there could be some unfamiliar hassles in the process, but I started with that intention in the first place," he explained of the planning process for "Somebody."

"It was the beginning of the three visibly weak persons. Otherwise, I don't suppose this planning and setting genre would have begun with me. I was intrigued by the beginning, therefore I'm not surprised it turned out to be such a strange love story. "In comparison to the beginning, I believe the form I sought to contain was effectively confined. "I suppose the offer came to me because it was an evident love tale from the start, not a thriller," he continued.

"Everyone has an uneven space in their head, making it harder to form partnerships. I emphasized it "He went on to explain. He stated that he sought to approach these individuals as average people, portraying them without regard for their inconveniences.

Coach Jung Ji-woo stated, "In my everyday life, I meet innumerable people who make unanticipated choices," adding, “There are often many situations of 'unpredictable' in reality.”

"I continued to delve into that portion and became fascinated in it," stated director Chung, emphasizing, “that's a part that I especially thought a lot about and melted while performing this work.”

4. Evaluation

It was chosen as an official invitation to the 27th Busan International Film Festival's 'On Screen' segment. The utilization of Mijangsen, restrained and non-monotonic hues and retro-style music has received positive feedback.

It's a drama with a fairly high IQ. There are several obscene lines, including the heroine's self-defense and the Jeolla bed scene, and there are also short hair nudes in the second half. In comparison, the level of violence is low. The drama was helmed by Jung Ji-woo, and the emergence of fresh performers, previously unseen places, and daring levels generated news. The scenario is intriguing, however many critics claim that the play's completion is lacking because the whole development is lacking.

The scenario is intriguing, but many reviewers claim that the play's completion is lacking because the general progression is confusing and many portions are not fully explained to the viewers. Although they aim to maintain a dreary tone throughout, there are many portions where scenes and scenes do not connect properly, and there are some parts that are less likely, so this tendency becomes especially strong in the second half. I understand what the coach intends, but it is unlikely to be delivered smoothly.

The only sympathetic character in the piece is the conversation robot "SomeOne." Somwon, who comforts your opponent by understanding what you wrote on the keyboard and deleted in your heart, is the only source of ventilation in this stuffy sweet potato field.

Kim Young-kwang's mad psychopath serial murderer acting is typically satisfactory, although sometimes it does not match the atmosphere, and Kang Kang-rim's acting is rather uncomfortable and lacking, possibly because he is too conscious of playing Asperger syndrome.

Kim Young-kwang's performance is flawless, yet it is insufficient to overcome Ha Jung-woo, the "chaser." It is not due to a lack of qualifications, but more to his greedy narrative aimed at art. "I wanted to draw a human's face," the production team explained.

"I wanted to convey a human's frantic desire to connect with someone," the production team said, but I wonder what it would have been like if I had focused on the "matching" with the spectator.

5. Digression

Mokwon (Kim Yong-ji) is a shaman. He put on 10 pounds for the part. According to Kim Yong-ji, "It was nice to gain weight to a certain point, but it was difficult to look in the mirror afterward. "The goal of the weight gain was to have a warmer image for me, who loves both Seom and Ki-eun, but I don't regret it because I can see such a figure on the filming site's monitor," he explained.

Kim Soo-yeon, who played Ki-eun, is also a rookie who outperformed the competition 500 to 1. "It was challenging and took a long time to meet a truly brave individual, not someone pretending to be strong," Coach Chung remarked.

"I was delighted and precious because she was so brave," actor Kim Soo-yeon stated. According to Kim Soo-yeon, "I was nervous about playing a paraplegic character. "I tried not to make the audience uncomfortable while conveying Ki-eun's longing in her heart," he stated. He also spoke with a wheelchair dancer who suffered an accident in his late twenties.

For the first time, director Jung Ji-woo addressed his thoughts on taking on the internet video service series. He stated, "The chance to perform daring work with a new actor was exciting and priceless. This is difficult to achieve in a film "He stated.

The difficulty, on the other side, was that "there was also a fear that a person running the 400m event might have dropped in the middle of the marathon." Nonetheless, Chung expressed a desire to create a series. "I'd want to do another series if the opportunity arises because I enjoy working with performers who fit in with lengthier stories," he remarked in an interview.

"It's a story that I bring up deliberately," the director added. It's also not about the painting. I don't think it'll be as entertaining if you watch it at double the speed. Some argue that it doesn't matter if you watch it twice as fast. When you look at it that way, you can't help but wonder, "What are you talking about?" I hope you don't mind if I take my time. "I suppose I done everything I could for (someone)," he remarked.

6. Actor's Reaction about ‘Somebody’ 

After filming "Somebody," Kang Kang-rim expressed a surprising reaction, saying, "It was not difficult to get out of the character." "Don't you realize that when you act, everything is fake?" he asked. "There were special effects scenes, so there was nothing psychologically taxing," he explained. "I didn't feel any pressure," he explained. Originally, many fantastic exposure scenes may be found in my favorite genre. However, as I returned to the door, I felt troubled since I was a person. I was always talking to the director. "I've never gone on a shoot without being prepared," he explained. "I'm confident everything will work out." I expected it to work out somewhat, but it worked out perfectly. "It was comfortable because I was close to everyone on the site," he explained.

"I think I tried to prepare a bit too much at beginning because I wanted to portray this role effectively," Kim Young-kwang said, adding, "One of the questions many people ask is whether I've been longing for change, although I'm typically not aware of it." I guess I recognized belatedly that I wanted to alter and be new while doing "Somebody."
