Somebody is a 2022 South Korean crime drama television series directed by Jung Ji-woo and starring Kim Young-kwang, Kang Hae-lim and Kim Yong-ji. The 10-episode series premiered on Netflix on September 16, 2022. Somebody follows the story of Kim Sum, a mysterious figure who runs a social networking app called Somebody that connects its users to complete tasks for each other, ranging from harmless errands to criminal acts. Sum operates anonymously behind an avatar while observing his users via their smartphone cameras and microphones.

When a murder occurs that is connected to Somebody, two individuals get caught up in trying to uncover Sum's real identity: Mok Won-yeong, a developer who joins Somebody to try to find the truth about his father's death, and Eom Ga-yeong, a detective who finds herself on the trail of the app and its enigmatic creator.

As Mok and Eom get closer to identifying the face behind Somebody, they discover a complex web of connections tying Sum to multiple crimes facilitated through his app. Simultaneously, a serial killer emerges who seems to be targeting Somebody users. Mok and Eom must navigate an intricate maze of leads, digital footprints and real-world evidence to pin down this elusive figure who commands a growing network of unwitting accomplices.

Somebody explores broad themes about technology, connection, isolation, murder and the human need for community. It offers thought-provoking social commentary by holding up a mirror to our modern digital culture and the ways people interact through screens.

With stylish visuals, an atmospheric score and strong acting performances, Somebody has been praised for its suspenseful, tightly-plotted narrative that keeps viewers guessing about Sum's identity and motivations until the very end.

Somebody stands out for its unique concept, weaving crime investigation with technological speculation and neighborhoods of Seoul into a gripping story full of surprising twists. It has attracted attention for touching on pressing real-world issues regarding ethics in app development, digital privacy, violent crime and social media's influence on human behavior.

By season's end, Somebody delivers a satisfying, thought-provoking exploration of morality in the digital age and the fine line between connecting people and controlling them. With an impactful conclusion, it promises to linger in viewers' minds, prompting reflections on technology, accountability and the intersections between our online and offline lives.
