In the hit Netflix comedy, two strangers, Amy (Wong) and Danny (Yeun), from opposite sides of the class divide, become embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse after a confrontation in a parking lot.
In April 2023, Wong discussed how her role as Amy would play in the film Beef scared her a little because it was so different from any other character she had played before.
“I think the challenge of it was just really satisfying,” she said Newsweek at the time. “So I look back at the footage and the episodes and think, 'Wow, who is that person?' When I see myself, it's quite mysterious and satisfying at the same time.

Wong went on to say that although she had been offered other dramatic roles before, she had never interacted with them before.
“When [Lee] approached me with the role of Amy on the show, it definitely scared me,” the actress shared with the outlet. “But I thought, 'Okay, I think you can do that.' I'm still very surprised by all of this and very glad I did it. It was an incredible experience.”
Jin later admitted he would be open to 'earning more' Beef.
“We initially pitched the show as an anthology series where each season is a new beef with new characters,” he explained The Hollywood Reporter in August 2023. “At the same time, I really love [the characters] Danny and Amy and George and Paul and the world we created. So I'm really open to it. The most important thing is that I really want to continue working with this team that I have really fallen in love with. But it's hard for me to say which way we're going without a writers' room and some momentum, so I really hope that the AMPTP [The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers] comes to his senses.”
