Beef creator Lee Sung Jin on the argument that inspired Season 2

In Season 1 of Netflix’s dark comedy Beef, the show’s creator Lee Sung Jin found a winning formula: an escalating feud ignited by a single road rage incident. Now, for its second season, the anthology series is introducing a whole new cast and a fresh conflict set in an elitist country club. But, it’s still a story of how the crushing pressure to succeed pushes people to the extreme. Lee Sung Jin talks to Tom about how his own experience struggling to fit in informed the series, and how a decade of therapy and introspection led to the most authentic screenwriting of his career.
