Beef' Creator Lee Sung Jin & Charles Melton On "Shadow Work"

Netflix’s Beef, a series built around the fallout from losing control and turning into rage, returned for Season 2 with another story driven by overheard conflict. Creator-writer-director Lee Sung Jin built an episode around a couple’s no-holds-barred fight that sparks a comedy of errors and chaos. The show is also the most Emmy-nominated program in its category this year, with 16 nominations, a fact that helped shape a week-long Los Angeles wellness activation titled Release Your Rage: Feel Your Calm. The events included massage, gua sha facials, smoothies, and a sound bath at the London Hotel West Hollywood featuring Lee and executive producer/star Charles Melton. Melton described feeling defensive toward his character, Austin.
