A story about cash strapped contestants competing in children’s games with only 2 outcomes – either $38M in cash or death in a flash. 10 reasons to watch it:
1. Ranked # 1 among Netflix’s most popular shows in 90 countries.
2. An insane plot initially conceptualized in 2008 but rejected several times eventually turning into a worldwide phenomenon is enough to stir up anybody’s curiosity.
3. Brilliant multitasker Hwang Dong Hyuk was both writer and director so nothing was “lost in translation”, enabling the storyline to be directly translated into actions and emotions just as they had been intended by the storyteller.
4. Superb acting all around, from the lead characters to the supporting cast, even the cameo roles. It did not matter whether they are seasoned actors or rookies, superstars or not so well-known. Their acting talents were all at par. Their competencies were same level. And just how impressive were they? Well for one, Ho Yeon Jung, a first-time actress with a following of 400K on Instagram pre-Squid Game era is currently the most followed Korean actress with 18.4 million followers, and counting! If her acting was lackluster or lame then these 18 million new fans of hers wouldn’t have clicked “Follow” on social media.
5. Captivating set design and enthralling art direction with minimal use of CGI for a more realistic and riveting effect.
6. Gruesome, grotesque and gory scenes are not really my thing but somehow the treatment of these scenes was done in a creatively tricky way so they did not make me close my eyes, shudder in fear and have nightmares at night.
7. Bizarre oxymoron with the most extreme contradictions. How can seemingly harmless children’s games be played with blatantly harmful results? How can an innocent looking doll cause carnage or a whimsical playground transform into a bloodbath? Quite disturbing, nonetheless, impactful.
8. Genius musical score using familiar classical music to tone down the shock factor. Instead of hearing suspenseful tones as a warning that something dreadful is about to happen you hear soothingly nostalgic melodies such as “Fly Me To The Moon”. Weird, but somehow it worked brilliantly.
9. Not annoyingly commercialized with no glaring product placements nor subliminal endorsements. Even the actors’ screen time was not exploitative. Those in the superstar level like Gong Yoo and Lee Byung Hun had minimum exposure, while neophytes Ho Yeon Jung and Anupam Tripathi were highly visible. The creators did not have to heavily rely on A-listers to gain widespread popularity.
10. In spite it being a purely Korean presentation there were ironically no communication and cultural barriers which brought about its global appeal. It vividly showcased how human frailties and imperfections bear no nationality.
It’s been about 2 days since I finished this show and it has genuinely not left my mind ever since. I usually never leave reviews on shows/movies I watch either, so me leaving one for this show speaks volumes to just how much I enjoyed Squid Game. The acting is beyond phenomenal in my opinion and evoked emotions in me that I had never felt in any other show before. (this review is spoiler free, don’t worry.) Every little detail that went into the production value, the acting, the plot, the character development, the set designs, EVERYTHING was just absolutely amazing. I went into this show thinking I would mostly enjoy it and that would be it, however I did not expect it to impact me as much as it did. The hype Squid Game is receiving at the moment is very much deserved, and I HIGHLY recommend this show to anyone who hasn’t seen it/needs something new to binge on. (really, I finished all 9 episodes in one sitting. over 9 hours.) I have been recommending this show to everyone I know so far and even if you aren’t the biggest fan of violent/bloody shows I genuinely believe to give this one a chance, you won’t be disappointed. This show has something for everyone; it’s emotional, dramatic, comedic at times, and has enough blood scenes for suspense/thrill lovers to enjoy. I really cannot explain enough just how much I love this show, it’s one of my favorites on Netflix now that’s for sure. Kudos to the cast and team behind this show as well, they’ve worked so hard and all the hard work that went into production is rightfully paying off. So if you have been looking for a sign on whether or not to watch Squid Game, this is your sign.
i can’t even recall exactly how many times i have watched series in which the lead character turns out to be the least interesting but it’s been quite a few. i would have to apply that here, but that’s not to say the lead is boring or a bad actor, but that in this terrific ensemble cast he is simply outdone by many around him. combining thriller, class drama & just a wee bit of police procedural, this project manages to juggle themes of social inequality, immigration, honor, the thin veneer of “civilization”, conspiracy & loyalty without dropping any of them. the sets are extremely clever, the music refreshingly tight & APPROPRIATE (esp for a korean project) & it can switch up from absurdist black comedy to incredibly grim w/o losing it’s flow.
having just finished an episode that had 1 of the most moving & breathtaking interplays between 2 young women i’ve ever seen (not to mention other pairings), i’m hooked & am now slowing down from binging so i can watch it with my 19yo son who’s about to ship off to the military. i challenge anyone not to binge-watch this in one go. it’s THAT well-paced, mesmerizing & absorbing. some have posted that it’s really quite graphic in it’s violence; yes, but no more so than countless other films & series available today. i only gave it 4 because i couldn’t give it 4.5 stars
Some of the most popular and innocent children’s games in the 1970’s and 1980’s South Korea (played in the alleys) get reinvented (modern day) as a mysterious survival game with a 45.6 billion won cash prize for the winner. There’s a catch however: losers must pay… with their lives!
As a group of 456 financially desperate people voluntarily risk their lives for the penultimate prize by participating in six twisted games Squid Game, in the words of writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk, is a dark and macabre take on ‘modern capitalism’ that depicts extreme competition while still being able to incorporate emotional, dramatic & theatrical aspect to the tale.
Magnificently portrayed by Lee Jung Jae, the ‘just-fired-from-job’ lead protagonist alongwith the compelling characters sets the screen ablaze with commendable acting backed up by a gripping plot, stunning camerawork with flawless (art) direction (the sets are breathtakingly surreal so much so that the actors could not stop clicking photos on-set and according to some it was like being in a ‘fantasy world..well beyond their expectation & imagination’) accompanied by a remarkable screenplay.
An air of foreboding and enigma prevails since the very first game Red Light, Green Light (took Hwang nearly six months to write merely the first two episodes), this edge-of-the-seat binge worthy thriller is on its way to becoming the biggest non-English show on Netflix or perhaps ‘our biggest show ever’, says co-CEO Netflix, Ted Sarandos.
