So it is that Amy Lau (Ali Wong) and Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) become mortal enemies despite being kindred spirits. The protagonists of the Netflix half-hour \u201cBeef\u201d first meet when both are behind the wheel, navigating the parking lot of a Lowe\u2019s-like home improvement store. Each driver is there for different reasons: Danny is a handyman who works at the Reseda motel his family used to own; Amy owns a houseplant boutique the hardware chain is in talks to acquire. But both react in the exact same way to a minor spat over exiting a spot. Their explosive road rage propels the pair on a chase across the suburban San Fernando Valley, then through 10 episodes of increasingly out-of-hand emotional warfare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Wong and Yeun have served as co-stars before \u2014 on the animated sitcom \u201cTuca &amp; Bertie\u201d on which \u201cBeef\u201d creator Lee Sung Jin also worked as a writer. Live action, nonetheless, allows the actors to occupy the same physical space, where they forge a chemistry that anchors \u201cBeef\u201d through its stop-and-start pacing and wild tonal swings. The structure of \u201cBeef\u201d mostly keeps Amy and Danny in their own separate spheres, enhancing the impact the few times they meet face-to-face. Their banter has a biting ferocity, rooted in a sense this dispute gives the characters room to let out the anger and frustration they otherwise repress. No wonder they can\u2019t seem to let it go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cBeef\u201d marks a departure for both its lead performers. Since his days on \u201cThe Walking Dead,\u201d Yeun has evolved into a modern movie star, earning an Oscar nomination for \u201cMinari\u201d and carrying the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s of Jordan Peele\u2019s \u201cNope.\u201d \u201cBeef\u201d marks Yeun\u2019s triumphant return to television, and a break from the chilly confidence of Ben, the antagonist in Lee Chang-dong\u2019s \u201cBurning,\u201d or \u201cNope\u2019s\u201d Jupe, who hides his trauma under a huckster\u2019s bravado. Danny is an earnest striver, like \u201cMinari\u2019s\u201d Jacob, but he lacks the competence or resolve required to muscle one\u2019s way to the American dream. He\u2019s a beta male through and through, trapped in the shadow of his parents, who expect he\u2019ll pay their way back from South Korea, and of his cousin Isaac (the artist David Choe), whose shady dealings are the reason the Chos lost the motel and repatriated in the first place. Like \u201cSuccession\u2019s\u201d Tom Wambsgans, Danny takes his insecurity out on the closest, safest target: his younger brother Paul (Young Mazino), a man-child obsessed with video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s and cryptocurrency. Yeun is a heartthrob in real life, yet believable in \u201cBeef\u201d as one of life\u2019s losers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    For Wong, \u201cBeef\u201d is more a change of medium than material. Leading a live-action prestige <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> is new for the co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n, but Amy\u2019s biography bears a striking resemblance to the persona Wong presents in her stand-up. Like Wong, Amy is the half-Vietnamese, half-Chinese working mother of a young daughter who\u2019s still getting used to out-earning her more affluent (by birth) husband. In light of Wong\u2019s recent, real-life divorce, the parallels are bound to inspire speculation. Whatever their source, though, Amy\u2019s rage and insecurity are deeply felt. Wong\u2019s comedy is loud and raunchy, and she channels some of that into Amy (especially during the sex scenes). But \u201cBeef\u201d allows her to explore similar ideas \u2014 taboo topics like women\u2019s ambition and primal instincts \u2014 more quietly and in close-up. Besides, you can\u2019t use a gun as a sex toy onstage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As \u201cBeef\u201d goes on, it spirals ever further out from its more grounded emotional concerns. As Amy\u2019s husband George, Joseph Lee is note-perfect as a na\u00efve dope who, while nominally interested in understanding the abyss where his wife\u2019s sense of self should be, just isn\u2019t able to. But Amy\u2019s new boss Jordan (Maria Bello) and nosy neighbor Naomi (Ashley Park) are caricatures out of another show. Choe, who contributes original art to the episodes\u2019 title cards after the pilot, starts off as effective typecasting; where Yeun transforms into an aggrieved sad-sack, his co-star barely mediates the abrasive, larger-than-life personality shown in prior projects like \u201cThe Choe Show.\u201d Yet as the action escalates to ever-higher extremes, Choe gets dragged out of his comfort zone and the naturalism that comes with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    A product of the hyper-hip A24, \u201cBeef\u201d announces its ambition early, naming episodes after quotes by Kafka, Carl Jung and other intellectuals. Some elements, like wry humor, work to offset such self-seriousness. (Danny argues Koreans and Italians have a natural affinity due to \u201cpeninsula mindset\u201d; George tries to live up to the legacy of his famous artist father with distinctly phallic sculptures.) Others, like cartoonish violence or bouts of the surreal, tend to distract from the show\u2019s core insights. Amy and Danny may differ in gender, class and career path, but they share a self-destructive nihilism that each seems to recognize in the other, even if they can\u2019t articulate it. When \u201cBeef\u201d keeps its focus on these characters and the worlds they inhabit \u2014 like the Orange County Korean church where Danny starts to volunteer, or the high-powered conference where Amy sermonizes about \u201chaving it all\u201d \u2014 the more it does right by the performers at its heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>\u201cBeef\u201d premieres on Netflix on April 6.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
