Wall to Wall review: Netflix delivers a Squid Game-flavoured darkly comedic satire
Do you also hate your noisy neighbours? Kang Ha Neul's new psychological thriller on Netflix, Wall to Wall, spotlights the brutal reality of a world consumed by ambition, greed, and the race to get ahead, whatever it takes. In a bustling metropolis where owning an apartment, a hollow 84 square meters, is sold as a badge of success, what you really get is a ticking time bomb. In South Korea's development model, these cookie-cutter complexes are less homes and more pressure cookers for modern madness. If you've ever dreamed of owning a shoebox in the heart of a packed city, congratulations, you're exactly who this film is talking to. It's less a movie, more a public service warning presented in the skin of a psychological thriller. Netflix's Wall to Wall, or more accurately, 84 Square Meters, if you prefer a triggering Korean title, tells the story of a guy named Woo Sung, played by Kang Ha Neul. Working as an assistant manager in some corporate maze, he invests all his savings to buy a tiny concrete apartment in the heart of Seoul. He thinks he has found success, a stable job, a fiancée, and his mother's proud smile. Three years in, and he's a wreck as he is drowning in debt, juggling jobs, ghosted by his bank, falling for a crypto scam. Then comes the constant, maddening noise. He can't tell if it's from upstairs or downstairs, it just doesn't stop. It keeps him up at night and wears him down. He tries everything to fix it. Turns out, he's becoming the fall guy for a bitter journalist (Seo Hyun Woo) upstairs, hellbent on revenge against prosecutor Eun Hwa (Yeom Hye Ran), who once stopped his story by bribing the system. The very same story about paper-thin walls in high-rise hell. What follows is a blood-filled game of revenge, ruining the seemingly perfect life of a man who once dreamed of a peaceful Seoul life. Also read: S Line review: K-Drama that's freaking viewers out with its dark take on shame and surveillance Netflix's rising favourite Kang Ha Neul portrays the quintessential modern man in Wall to Wall. Having built a reputation for staying true to his character, he does it again, holding up a mirror to that part of us which still dares to think that owning a small, overpriced, box-sized space will somehow bring peace. It's a cruel joke, one only a society obsessed with property ownership could truly laugh at. For director Kim Tae Joon, who exposed digital paranoia and surveillance in Unlocked (2023), using a cat-and-mouse premise, this latest story feels like a natural next step. It's one of the stronger post-Squid Game narratives about how the system quietly chews you up and spits you out. Kim knows how to frame torment: scattered things, piling dishes, Woo Sung refusing to turn on the electricity just to save the bill and thus 80 per cent of the movie is shot in the darkness. He even reuses the same bathwater for days. Seo Hyun Woo, as the unhinged freelance journalist Jin Ho, brings just the right stubborn, revenge-driven vibe, making Woo Sung his target, chasing that final 'ledger reveal' to his dying breath. And then there's Yeom Hye Ran (When Life Gives You Tangerines), who has mastered on-screen villainy by now. Her character here will make you hate her, and that's how you know how good the acting is. Also read: Wall to wall ending explained: Who's the real noise maker in Kang Ha Neul's Netflix psychological thriller? But, while the concept is brilliant, the only negative part of Wall to Wall is the second half, which loses its momentum and confuses its audience with no real motive behind some of the action scenes. In the first half, you feel Woo Sung's frustration bleeding into you. The noise, the stomping, the false accusations, the question that gnaws: what's so wrong with chasing a metro life? But while we understand that these days directors lean towards realistic endings, deviating from the happy one, the second half of the movie has less impact. There are plenty of twists and action scenes which feel out of place. For some, especially those who don't usually prefer slow burns, it might still be an engaging watch, offering an intense ride through the struggle to escape the claustrophobia of cramped apartment living. But like any other, I would have wanted a satisfying ending for Woo Sung, too. So, in conclusion, Wall to Wall isn't just a thriller. it's a darkly comedic satire. Wall to Wall, through its noisy premise, shows Woo Sung not losing his sleep but losing his grip on reality, his relationships, and ultimately his own self, to the point he wants to take his own life. The ending scene particularly surprised me, as I was left anxious by the last laugh, which felt personal and fully directed towards the viewers. Because in the end, the only thing scarier than the ghosts under your bed are the ones living on the other side of your thin wall, and the bank statement that reminds you exactly how much you paid for the privilege, you can't even enjoy.

How Lee Soo Hyuk's S Line went from a steamy K-drama to internet's red-thread obsession — now linking way more than just lovers
If you've been scrolling through Instagram lately and noticed glowing red lines floating above people's heads, sometimes even connecting them to others, you're not alone. These mysterious visuals are inspired by the new K-drama S Line, starring Lee Soo Hyuk of Doom at Your Service and Tomorrow fame. The show's influence has sparked a full-blown trend, spreading across TikTok, Instagram, and even X. Curious what those mysterious lines actually mean? We've got you. Keep reading to find out what the red lines symbolise and check out some of the funniest S Line memes lighting up the internet right now. The red line trend is inspired by the new K-drama S Line The trend blowing up across social media traces back to the Korean thriller S Line, which started streaming on Wavve in July 2025. The show follows Lee Gyu Jin (Lee Da Hee), a woman who suddenly begins to see glowing red threads, called S Lines, connecting people who've had sexual relationships. Things take a wild turn when a mysterious pair of glasses is introduced, allowing others to see these lines too. In a society where discretion is everything, the fallout is immediate and intense. A big part of the trend's appeal lies in its layered symbolism. The red lines represent invisible sexual bonds, sparking conversations about privacy, shame, and societal pressure. At the same time, the plot keeps things gripping, as Gyu Jin teams up with Detective Han Ji Uk (Lee Soo Hyuk) to track down whoever is behind the glasses. The drama is based on Little Bee's hit webtoon of the same name, which already had a loyal following—now amplified by the show's moody visuals and bold premise. The internet turns the S Line into a memefest While the show delivers a sharp commentary on privacy and relationships, it's also become a full-blown meme online. If you haven't jumped on the trend yet, don't worry; we're breaking down how people are putting their spin on it so you can join the bandwagon too. And while S Line originally refers to sexual connections between people, the internet has taken creative liberty with it. Now, those glowing red threads are being used to show connections to just about anything: your favourite snack, a celebrity crush, a video game obsession. Basically, if you're emotionally attached to it, there's probably an S line. S Line but make it luxury What's S Line without a touch of luxury? For many, it's not just about people—it's about what they can't live without. Think ChatGPT, a black card, a sleek car, money, a favourite pillow, and yes, a partner too. Her S Line smells expensive One viral post takes the trend to fragrant new heights. Instead of linking to people, the red S lines coming out of her head connect to a glamorous lineup of high-end perfumes. It's less about past flings and more about signature scents. With the caption 'My kinda S-line 🎀,' she makes it clear that her strongest bonds are bottled, bougie, and smell divine. S Line but make it delulu Another fan-favourite take? A post that features a silhouette of a woman with red S lines linking her to an entire gallery of K-pop idols and Korean actors. With the caption 'Na minha cabeça…' (which translates to 'In my head…'), the meme turns the idea of S Line into the ultimate fangirl fantasy. From BTS members to K-drama heartthrobs like Cha Eun Woo and Park Seo Joon, the visuals turn her daydreams into digital reality. Because who says imaginary relationships can't have glowing red threads too? S Line, but it's just stress Not all S Lines are romantic—or even fun. Instead of connecting it to romantic pursuits or luxuries, several threads link to everyday stressors like job, exams, mental health, back pain, career, and 99+ other issues. the s-line in my life stands for stress-line. It's a painfully relatable take that captures how the internet is using the S Line trend not just for aesthetics or fantasy, but also to poke fun at the overwhelming chaos of adult life. Turns out, the real S Lines are the burdens we carry daily. More about the S Line K-drama The K-drama S Line has become a cultural flashpoint since its premiere on July 11, 2025, on Wavve, with its provocative concept of glowing red 'S Lines' that reveal past sexual connections.
