'Beef' creator Lee Sung Jin spoke to Newsweek about the Netflix show's final two episodes and how his 'crazier' ideas had to be cut because they were too extreme.
"We'd been stretching this rubber band for eight episodes now, I knew I needed the thing to snap.
"And so in writing I really tried to hone in on what was the end emotional place I wanted them before we get them together in the finale." "I wonder if audiences will expect us to get together, like to hook up and get together, and that this has all been this romantic comedy that they've been watching, and when we first meet that's a meet-cute," Wong said."But, when we talked about that scene at the end I was like, 'OK, Sonny [Lee's English name], what are you looking for in this?'
Lee was keen to give credit where it was due, as he said:"The hospital bed moment, we came up with, me, Steven, Ali and A24, before we even pitched it to buyers. My pitch presentations are pretty involved and I pitch the whole season, and so I had to figure out an ending for the pitch and Ali actually came up with the idea of two people crawling into into bed together.
