In the course of our lives, we’ve often dealt with annoying neighbors, yet none can compare to the ordeal faced by Woo-sung in the latest Netflix suspenseful drama titled “Wall to Wall“.

Each evening, strange sounds plague him, ones he attributes to his neighbors living above or below him. Meanwhile, these neighbors too claim to hear disturbances and point fingers at Woo-sung. So, let us uncover the source of these noises and the reason behind them.

Wall to Wall ending explained: Where is the noise coming from?

As a devoted viewer of “Wall to Wall,” there are instances when I find myself questioning if Woo-sung has lost his sanity due to the strange noises he keeps hearing. However, in an unexpected twist at the climax, it turns out that Jin-ho, the person living above him, is actually the source of the ruckus.

As an ardent follower of truth, I am a relentless investigative journalist with a knack for uncovering shady activities related to subpar apartment buildings, such as Woo-sung’s recent case. Previously, I had almost brought light to one such instance, but unfortunately, the story was halted before it could air by a cautious prosecutor.

Eun-hwa, once a prosecutor, currently serves as the building’s local representative and owns numerous apartments within it. She has since departed from her role as a prosecutor to engage in real estate ventures. This includes acquiring apartments and facilitating transactions with questionable construction companies, while also accepting bribes.

As a sneaky gamer, I’ve managed to crack the code for every apartment’s intercom system, allowing me to broadcast sounds at will and eavesdrop on residents to figure out their comings and goings.

In simpler terms, Jin-ho devised a plan to make Woo-sung so angry that he would commit murder, due to financial issues with an apartment he bought using all his savings. Addressing Woo-sung, Jin-ho says, “You truly embody the hardships faced by today’s young generation. You are the ideal messenger for this message.

In an apartment building, a man, driven to desperation by constant noise from his neighbor (Woo-sung), snapped and used a hammer to murder him. In a twisted attempt to shift blame, he also took his own life, staging the scene as if Woo-sung had been the perpetrator.

Instead, Woo-sung convinces Jin-ho to alter the narrative and accuse Eun-hwa of murder. They then make their way to the penthouse where they bind both Eun-hwa and her husband. Thanks to his ability to hack security cameras, Jin-ho is aware that there’s a ledger in their apartment implicating Eun-hwa in illicit activities.

Things seldom follow their intended course, as Jin-ho ends up murdering Eun-hwa’s spouse in a fit of anger when he fails to locate the ledger. In an attempt to conceal all wrongdoings, Eun-hwa plans to kill Woo-sung, but Jin-ho takes her life before she has the chance.

As a fan, I can’t help but feel the tension as Jin-ho lies injured, while Woo-sung seems unfazed by mercy. In a move that was expected, he torches all rental contracts, reclaiming his apartment entirely. Leaving Jin-ho to face his fate, Woo-sung turns on the gas, preparing for an explosion once he’s safely away.

As a fervent admirer, I delved into the intrigue surrounding Woo-sung, but alas, my curiosity was quelled when the police declared the case closed. The unfortunate incident of the apartment fire reduced crucial evidence – his ledger – to ashes, leaving no room for further inquiry.

In the last part of “Wall to Wall,” Woo-sung returns to his flat, but instead of peace and quiet, he encounters sounds of hammering emanating from downstairs. This amusing situation unfolds as the ending credits appear on screen.

Wall to Wall title: Why is it also called 84m²?

Another question you may have is why the title displayed on-screen reads “84m²” instead of “Wall to Wall,” with the exception being in the subtitles.

The reason for this is that the title is a direct English translation and it mirrors the typical apartment size found in South Korea, which is the average and most common square footage.

In 2024, as reported by The Korea Times and verified by the Korea Environment Corporation, there were no fewer than 33,027 instances of complaints about inter-floor noise, suggesting that Woo-sung’s concern about noise pollution in his apartment is grounded in reality.

Wall to Wall is available to watch now on Netflix.
