Somebody is a psychological thriller and therefore not everyone's cup of tea, just like Squid Game. It's heavy - one might feel extremely unwell and disturbed by it. There's no romance in neither, that's not the primary focus at all. There are, however, many explicit scenes of physical violence, murder, nudity and sex. It reminds me of Squid Game, which is known for its gore and murder scenes, but also its psychological concept which fits the subgenre of both.
