Haven't you watched Squid Game yet ???

Squid Game

Do you like movie / TV series, but haven't heard of Squid Games name? The Netflix web series, which was released on September 18, has been the subject of much discussion and criticism around the world since its release.

Directed by South Korean director Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series broke all past records, according to Netflix. As of October 12, it had about 111 million views in 90 countries around the world, breaking all previous records. (Before that the record for most views was held by the British series 'Bridgeton') But why, what's in it?

Plot of Squid Game

Hwang Dong-Huksquid, who created and composed the game, said that he originally created the script in 2006 while living in Manhuwabang, and he was financially fragile at the time. He read books like Battle Royale, Lear Games, and Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji. He feared that the story of that time was "too difficult to understand and bizarre." He says, "I wanted to write a story that was a metaphor for modern capitalist society, something that portrayed extreme competition, somewhat like extreme competition in life. But I wanted to use the kind of characters we see in real life." "

Squid game is basically a big arrangement of 6 games we played in our childhood. 458 contestants have registered for this game. In real life, all of them are living a life of great debt and misery. This game is a life-and-death game for life, and one will win. Winning the six-match series would cost the winner 45.6 billion Korean won (39 million dollar), and every looser would die.

As the saying goes, Koreans make something with great care, but here it is.

There are several aspects of squid games that have caught my attention, including the set design of each game. In addition to the technical side of the BGM! It was just great, (I already set the arrival tone of the Pink Army as a ringtone on my phone), and with each sequence some very natural sound effects made it more lively. And the color grading in the excellent cinematography lighting and editing was eye-catching.

When it comes to acting, everyone on the cast was nice and natural in their character. In particular, I like Gi-Hun, the main character in the story, his friend and Sang-Woo as a contestant, and Jun-Ho as a police officer, and Sae-Byeok, a fugitive girl from North Korea. The rest of the performance was also very nice.

Season 01 Episode 09 (some spoiler)

The more lamp of life goes out, the more the amount of money will continue to increase by leaps and bounds. Money is hidden in the death trap step by step. The companion on the side died but another survived. To survive is to create obstacles in the way of raising money. But one or the other will remain in the end. This game of insanity is going on with the smell of money. The game is organized by worshiping the passion of some indebted men and women in the series. And this Korean game "Squid Game" is discussed, criticized, criticized, denigrated, underestimated, overrated. So many adjectives I say for this reason, there is a lot of mudslinging or debate about whether the series is good or bad, because the analysis of the minds of the general public is one of a kind. In fact, money is everything. It is not possible to live with money but life without money is real. And if not everyone's life, the value of money is meaningless.

Squid Game

It's normal to think that a Korean movie or series will have some great creativity, but this series doesn't show much, but some episodes will make you happy and two bad characters will test your patience. Walking on glass was the most beautiful game where life and death are challenging. Two bad pairs broke the glass together and died. This is the best thing for me in the series. There's a case of heartbeat thrilling in a Korean series or movie that wasn't there. I didn't like any other game except the game of glass. Sometimes it seemed like series or hybrid means hybrid reality show. The story of the series is also a bit weak. The protagonist of the series is called. This type of series does not have to have a specific hero. Anyone in the middle of the series can be a hero.

At the beginning of the series, G-Han's divorce, poverty and debt, not being able to get close to his daughter and many other problems are shown. The focus on him in the series was such that it was already understood that he would win. A confusion of who would be in the end could have been created if desired. And if he had been focused more, the series would have changed if he had been dropped.

One of the things I like most about the series is the set design. The extraordinary set designing has made the series a little more interesting. The gaming sets were beautiful. The music was good too. The nine episodes were really perfect for the series. However, if you wanted, you could increase or decrease one episode. The casting was good, everyone tried their best. There was some doubt about the old man before. Is this old man really the mastermind of murder with intelligence and skill? Although died in the end. Wearing a black mask can be called an important character. If it is the second season then maybe the focus will be more on him. This game of death is going on. Some members have said in their reviews that there are some logical issues. So I don't want to say anymore. The twist of the series was good. Police officer Jun-Hu's character was also good.

In fact, how much you can take death for money. In the series, there was a policeman or a detective in disguise, but no one else had any idea, so many people are missing or dead. There is no such legal activity. An investigation into whether he was alive or dead, these matters could have existed.

All in all, I will say that after a long time, in Netflix, I saw quality content. it took me 2 days to finish it due to lack of time, but if you have time, you can watch it in one sitting.
