If society resembles a puzzle, Dr. Se-won , the lead of the first South Korean show made for Apple TV+ , is the piece that won’t fit. At work, he’s warm to his research but frozen to his peers. When he was young he saw his mother perish, but there were no screams or tears.
In lieu of emotional expressions, Se-won gives either a “fast version” or a “slow version” of the incident to others, either the sharpest Occam’s Razor-ed summary or a perfect detail-by-detail recall. It is not an everyday ability; it is a cursed blessing. It is also, even with the specter of oversimplification in depicting people on the spectrum, a functional starting point for one heady and twisty roller-coaster of a series.
“Modest but still creative” is also a fitting descriptor for actor Lee’s approach to embodying Se-won. It’s certainly better than “inhuman,” which is what the character’s colleagues would say—except for the kind Dr. Na-mil . Or “insane,” which is more what the eagle-eyed Lt. Ji-un would think. Or perhaps a mix between the two, which is something the sardonic private investigator Kang-mu might express—but doesn’t bother to.
Nguyen Le is a freelance film writer currently based in Clutch City. Or H-Town. As in Houston, Texas. You can find his writings at JumpCut Online, Houston Chronicle, InSession Film, Awards Watch, The Young Folks and more. If you’re hungry for something else, he also has cooking photos and musings about his Vietnamese heritage on Facebook and/or Twitter. To him cà phê sua dá is the best drink ever, no debate.
