Netflix K-drama Somebody, cruel and unusual serial killer series starring Kim Young-kwang, has a strange allure

Kang Hae-lim as Kim Sum and Kim Young-kwang as Sung Yun-oh in a still from Somebody, a darkly compelling Netflix K-drama that premiered at the Busan International Film Festival.Netflix premiered the first three episodes of its coming original drama Somebody at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea.

The series features Kang Hae-lim, in only her second screen role after a small part in Live On, and Hello, Me! lead Kim Young-kwang.Kang plays Kim Sum, a young app programmer with Asperger's syndrome, while Kim Young-kwang is Sung Yun-oh, an architect by day and a serial killer by night. When deaths begin to be linked to the app, Sum and her colleagues identify a series of accounts that are connected to the same user, who lures his lonely matches by always saying exactly the right thing to them.Though we cannot say for sure, Somebody seems to be a show about loneliness and alienation and how one terrible man preys on these emotions in young, vulnerable women.

Though the stories of these characters intersect, the narrative so often omits crucial pieces of information about them that you might wonder if you have accidentally started midway through the series. Freud, the founding father of psychoanalysis, theorised that the combination of sexual instincts and self-destructive urges motivates most human behaviour.

Part of the thrill is not knowing what is going to happen, as Yun-oh has no clear modus operandi. He likes to toy with his victims, but that does not always involve killing them. He may even suddenly set his sights on someone else around them.
