Has anyone seen “Somebody” the Korean drama/thriller? I have so many questions and so much to discuss. Spoiler alert
I had very high hopes with this show but I found it extremely slow and so many things that made absolutely no sense. 1. All the characters seemed so weird, like no one is normal in that show except may be the shaman girl. Like people in general don’t behave like that for eg. Gi-eun ( the wheelchair girl ) who’s a cop but has absolutely no brains, there’s no plan or logic to her actions. The demolition workers who just watched as a wheelchair person just goes about frolicking in a site that’s to be demolished in a few mins. No one was helping her guide out. Sum who knows the Yun-o is the killer from the very beginning and still goes out with him ( she’s not dumb, she knows the danger but they want to somehow attribute that to her being on the spectrum, which makes no sense). Sum sides with her killer boyfriend even after knowing he tried to kill her best friend twice. She in a way abandons everyone for him and to what end?
It was so stupid. I thought as the episodes progressed I would understand the characters better and it would all finally make sense to me. But no, the show goes on and on to make these characters more confusing. The only character that made an ounce of sense was of the shaman the rest seemed so crazy. Why the sudden teary eyes in Yun-o ‘s case or sudden change of sides on Sum’s part? It was such a crazy show that made no sense when infact it had so much potential. And did I mention how slow it was ? There are times when the characters take super long pause and I wondered if my I hit pause on the remote or something. If I had known it was mainly a confused drama interrupted by occasional thriller aspect or senseless violence I won’t have watched it.
