What was the previous season of Beef about?

The first season of Beef premiered on Netflix on April 6, 2023. All ten episodes of the show were released on the same day. It starred Ali Wong and Steven Yeun in titular roles. While Wong played Amy Lau, a business owner, Yeun played Danny Cho, a man struggling to make ends meet.

The two crossed paths during a road rage, following which their lives changed forever. In an attempt to find relief from the mundanity of everyday life and the struggles associated with it, the two became obsessed with thrill. This persuaded them to be at constant loggerheads with one another, just to "feel something."

In an attempt to do so, the two ended up salvaging each other's lives. But, ultimately when the true faces of the people around them were revealed, the unlikely pair found solace in each other.
