the Netflix series “Somebody” Loosely based on the 1991 novel American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, is a South Korean crime thriller film created by Jung Ji-woo and Han Ji-wan. It revolves around a competent developer named Sum who develops a dating app called ‘Somebody.’
Despite being socially awkward, she has a few friends in Mok-Won and Ki-Eun, the latter of whom is a detective. When a murder occurs via a dating app, she jumps on the case and begins to investigate. Yoon-O, a charismatic character and an architectural designer by profession, is responsible for the murder when he uses ‘Someone’ to find his victims.
When Yoon-O meets Sum, she is instantly attracted to him, not knowing that he is hiding a dark secret. With impressive performances by Kim Young-Kwang, Kang Hae-Lim, and Kim Yong-Ji, the riveting narrative is filled with themes of violence, deception, and murder, which better underlines the relatively darker undertone.
