About this episode
Charles Melton discusses his character's transformation in 'Beef' and his personal journey regarding identity and fatherhood.

But beneath his character’s good natured surface is a man struggling to make sense of his identity and place in society. Rebecca sat down with Melton to discuss his character’s transformation, what it was like collaborating with series creator Lee Sung Jin, and how he interprets the show’s controversial season two ending.
