Somebody Review
Somebody is a Korean thriller which once again reminds you what a good thriller with a murder mystery looks like because the excitement and fear that the show carries is just wonderful and won’t give you a moment of regret for watching the show. There are some murder scenes that may say something else.
To begin with, I have to say that Kim Young-kwang and Kim Hae-lim have given such extraordinary performances that make us fall for this psychopathic couple who couldn’t have been any crazier. And while I spent most of the show fearing Young-kwang, Hae-lim gave me an ending that said otherwise.

The looks of craze on their faces had my heart pounding many times, and I enjoyed this feeling that is expected of a thriller. On the other hand, I also enjoyed the performance given by Kim Yong-ji, who plays a shaman, and while it was a little unexpected to see so much of this in the show, I enjoyed it too. She really pulls you into this mystic world, and her character is one that you will thoroughly enjoy.
The show also brings a very realistic vibe to what really goes on in the mind of a murderer, which brings us to the first kill of the characters that changed them. While they don’t really go down the same route, later on, the fear of what happened exists in one, while the other very nonchalantly goes back to their daily life. The latter was what scared me, and that is where the real fear began, which makes me want more from the show.

Summing Up
Altogether, this was a show that I have enjoyed and will be recommending to others, but not without the nudity and sexual content warning. That is a must because there is a decent amount of 18+ content.
The K-drama is the perfect thriller for a binge-watching session; however, there will be moments when you just want to increase the speed of the show. But this is a show that will bring you a good time that will be filled with enjoyment and a racing heart.
The only negative is that there are too many questions that have been left unanswered, and that is what I would like to see being disclosed if there is ever a season 2.
Watch Somebody on Netflix.
