BEEF “Revenge is best served raw.”
Sometimes being angry is a good thing, when the time comes you’ll just burst and say all the things needed to be said to the people that made you feel resentful, but always remember that everything will end, your problems will be solved, you’ll get rid of your wrath towards anything or someone. “Anger is just a transitory state of consciousness.”
The reason I tried to finish this is because of the hype, yes, I saw some clips on tiktok and yes, if you hate getting spoiled about movies, series and such things then tiktok is not the application for you. But little did I know I was already at the last episode of the first season, it was really worth the hype.
Going back to the main topic of my blog, the “Beef” will not just give you laughters, it’s a satire apprehension about asian culture in regards to family, relationship, and work. It will also help you realize that only you can help yourself achieve what you want for your life, the success you’ve been striving for, the amount of recognition from your loved ones, the acceptance this society could offer, but at the end of the day there’s still a small vacuum in your life that nothing in this world could fill. What also struck me is the thought that even your husband, your parents, your closest friends, they don’t have an idea on what’s really going on with your life and what’s inside your mind because the only people that can really acknowledge your state of being are also the ones undergoing it.
Danny (Steven Yeun) and Amy (Ali Wong) both shared their narratives, Amy as a little girl that dreamed to have it all, a great household unlike the one she had, and also loads of money that can provide for them whilst Danny wanted to become a triumphant business-owner as a contractor. The biggest plot twist in their lives started when they met at the road and Danny almost hit Amy’s white SUV when backing up while her response was the reason the beef between them started. After several encounters from each others, who could’ve thought that they soon comprehend a mutual understanding and connection when it comes to their mental and intellectual conception. With Amy being in the middle of social hierarchy and Danny struggling to move his parents by being a handyman, they still came across with each other and it somewhat fill the hole inside their hearts.
Contentment is hard, specially for the people that haven’t found a reason to live their lives to its extent.
