Reminiscing
Squid Game, a Korean TV series, garnered critical acclaim for its unique idea and character-driven performance by actors upon release. It was released on Netflix on September 17, 2021. The plot revolves around 456 players who compete against each other for a huge cash prize; the outcome is death for those who fail in the competition. Moreover, the series’ core theme focuses on the disparity, economic inequality, and survival.
Seasons One Excerpts
Season one focuses on Seong Gi-hun, a deeply indebted man who receives an invitation to participate in a children’s game, only to discover that the stakes are deadly and the prize is life-changing. Unable to resist and oblivious to the hidden agenda behind the game, Seong accepts the offer along with other participants who are financially unstable. The story intensifies as the game is overlooked by masked guards and supervised by a concealed figure known as the Front Man. As the story progresses, the difficulty level increases, leaving most of the participants dead.
However, Seong wins the game, but is traumatised by the experience and the death around him. To confront past experiences and uncover the hidden organisation behind the game, Gi-hun embarks on a mission to unravel the truth. This leads to the development of season 2.
