Squid Game on Netflix: Why to Watch? Season 2 and More

Netflix released another original Korean title, Squid Game, which has taken fans
by storm, taking the top spot. Squid Game is a survival K-drama written and
directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk that premiered worldwide on September 17, 2021, on
Netflix. The thriller is in the race of becoming the most popular K-drama on the
streaming giant.

The top trending show is breaking the charts by simultaneously delivering
suspense, thrill, horror, and adventure. The 9 episode long show is disturbing
yet fascinating to watch. Fans have been the major reason for popularising the
show in just one week by word of mouth and social media.


SQUID GAME SYNOPSIS

Squid Game follows multiple children’s games being played by adults but with
sinister twists. People from all walks of life, who are in dire need of money,
receive a mysterious invitation to join the game. 456 debt-ridden desperate
contestants compete in a mysterious and deadly survival game. They choose to
play for the prize money of 45.6 billion won that can pull them out of their
debt’s misery. But they get locked into a secret location where they play
crooked traditional Korean children’s games like Red Light, Green Light. The
twist is if they lose, they die. The game that begins for money becomes for
survival, life, and death.

The game’s setting is done in a vibrant, colorful, specially designed secret
building, juxtaposing the game that happens within.  Interestingly, the props
used are also contrasting with the actual theme of death. These features of
Squid Game make it unique and exciting to watch.

Losing a game means death in Squid Game. The series keeps us on the edge and

disturbing to watch, yet intriguing enough to not watch on your toes.

TRAILER




RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT GAME

Known by different names worldwide, ‘Red Light, Green Light’ is the first
dangerous game that the participants encounter in the series. Following is the
description of the game –

An ideal game for small kids, ‘Red Light, Green light’ involves running and
attention. The kids are made to stand in a line. A person who is responsible for
the gameplay calls “Green Light” and “Red Light” spontaneously at will. When she
says Green Light, the kids should run towards the other line. And they must stop
immediately as soon as she says Red Light. If someone still keeps moving at Red
Light, that kid will be out. Whoever passes through the finishing line wins.

But in Squid Game, the participants are adults, and out means death.

SQUID GAME SEASON 2

As per YTN [https://star.ytn.co.kr/_sn/0117_202108230938406667], the director
originally thought about the idea more than a decade ago. “In 2008, while
reading a comic book about people who fell into extreme games, he came up with
the idea of ’the most Korean survival film,’ between the play of memories he
enjoyed as a child and the modern people who are pushed into limitless
competition as adults.”

A second season seems inevitable with the buzz that Squid Game has captured
within a few days of release. Although no official announcement has been made
yet, we can expect one soon.
