As proof of this theory, the main character of The Squid Games, Seong Gi-hun, takes on the blue card seller, Gong Yoo, who wakes up in a blue suit and is the best fodder for a possible sequel. Seong's desperation makes him the main target of a mysterious organization that offers him the chance to win a huge sum of money ($38 million) by playing a series of games with a group of other people with devastating consequences.
A bankrupt and desperate Gi-hun agrees to participate in a strange invitation to take part in a child's play in order to win easy money. Both are in luck and yearn for a life-changing payday when the $3.85 million prize is checked out and the contestants are invited to a survival contest made up of harmless children's games. He loses a bet in a game against player 001 and has to make it using his failed memory of who he is.
Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), one of these unfortunate souls, is encouraged to pay off his many debts with a fight for survival from seemingly harmless children's games. Deok Su, knowing that the upcoming game is a tug-of-war for the strongest player, rejects player 212 (Han Mi-no) and joins the Gi-Hun team as the weakest player. Sae-byeok and Player 240 agree to play a simple game, but after talking about their lives, Player 240 decides he has more to live and lets him win.
In the second game, Sang-woo is identified on the basis of information from player 067, but does not warn his teammates and chooses a simple form. Although Gi Hun's team of weaker players wins the upcoming game with the strategy of player 001 and Sang-woos, most of them are unnerved after being killed by the opposing team. Gi Hun realizes that Player 111, a doctor, helped his team in the previous game.
The main character Seong-gi Hun makes it sound like the cuttlefish game in his city is unique and describes a certain game that had its name from the court squid (court squid). The games that characters play on Twitter and TikTok were repeated dozens of times, with a challenge for players to cut shapes into circles, triangles, stars, umbrellas, and Dalgona candies (also known as honeycombs or toffees). If a stranger survives and wins, he receives an obscene sum of money and sets up an octopus game with the other strangers, in which each of the participants participates voluntarily.
Hundreds of clammy gamblers accept an odd invitation to take part in a snap. In this dystopian survival drama, a mysterious organization challenges 456 players from all walks of life, all in debt, to a series of children's games. Players in financial hardship receive billions in prize money if they win six games in six days.
It took a high-profile survival drama for "Squid Game" to become the first K-drama to be one of Netflix's top series in the US. When the series, which has been in development for more than a decade, was released on 17 September it went to the top of the Netflix charts and became the most-watched series in history. Three weeks on the platform has not only become the most popular Korean drama in the history of Netflix, but it is also on track to overtake the 'Bridgerton' as the most popular series in the history of the platform.
Julia Alexander, senior strategy analyst of Parrot Analytics said it was clear that "The Squid Game" had been a huge success, adding: "I can only use a word to describe how much the gain for Netflix was. It has become one of Netflix's most successful shows of all time, and that kind of audience figure means a lot of profit (USD). I asked Hwang Dong-hyuk if "Cuttlefish Game" is Netflix's hit series and whether the astonishing success has made him rich.
Netflix Co-Chair Ted Sarandos said this week that "Squid Game", the addictive dystopian drama from South Korea, which has become a massive social media phenomenon two weeks after its premiere, dethroned "Bridgerton" and "The Witcher" as the most-sampled original series. But those shows pale in comparison to "Cuttlefish Game", which, Alexander says, is on track to become Netflix's biggest show of all time because it's brutal, violent, and dark. Here are the answers to eight disturbing and fascinating Netflix hit series about a deadly tournament of children's games, along with questions for viewers who have seen it.
According to the Korean pop culture website Soompi, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he received the idea for the series in 2008 from a comic about people who play extreme games. The theory behind the show is that Gi Hun receives a blue card from vendor Gong Yoo, who wakes up in a blue suit and is now a player. Despite its success, I'm sure Netflix executives want more, but we don't know if they'll get writer/director Hwang to do it.
