I'm sure many of you have already seen Korea's hot Netflix drama 'The Squid Game'. It is a blockbuster drama that ranked #1 on Netflix in 14 countries including Korea, the US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, UAE, Kuwait and Singapore, and ranked #2 on Netflix in 39 countries including the UK, France and Germany. Those who have already enjoyed 'The Squid Game' can enjoy reading it with sympathy, and those who have not yet watched 'The Squid Game' will run to Netflix as soon as they finish reading this article so that they can have a good time watching 'The Squid Game'. I would like to introduce you to the hot Netflix drama 'Squid Game'.

The Squid Game is a drama that shows how 456 participants play a survival game with a prize of 45.6 billion won, and those who are desperate for money risk their lives and aim for the final winner. It is violent and stimulating content, but in the end, many people sympathize with it because it depicts us in a capitalist competitive society.

Participants in the 'Squid Game' felt guilty because they jumped into a competition in which others had to die if I lived because of money, rationalized themselves, formed a group, and put up a group to drive those who did not belong to the group into a corner. In addition to competing, because of their power, they harass others and are betrayed by their own group.

In the process, at the end of these fights, someday I will have money, but I lose a lot of things and get hurt, and I think about what it means to kill everyone who has their own circumstances and stand on the rise. We also need money in a capitalist society, so we give up a lot of things and earn money, but we worry about whether the money we earn has a real meaning in our lives. It's possible.

You will also question the structure created in this society, doubt whether it is correct, and then ponder how individuals and society should move forward.

'Squid Game' has solved a topic that we can sympathize with and worry about in an interesting way called a survival game, so it's only natural that the world is feeling its charm. However, I mentioned earlier that there is something new about 'The Squid Game'. This novelty means that the game played in the survival game is 'Korean classic game'.

An old but fresh game called Korean classic play

The appearance of classic Korean games such as tug-of-war, hibiscus has bloomed, dalgona, and marbles, including the squid game that can be seen from the title of the drama, evokes familiarity among Koreans, and at the same time, familiar games play a vital role in survival games. It makes you feel new that it has been handled as a game. In addition, for foreigners, exciting survival games featuring games they have never seen in their lives allow them to feel exciting and fresh, different from other survival game dramas. In addition, you can feel the fun of watching traditional games of other countries that are similar to the traditional games of your home country and comparing them with the games of your home country.

Gorgeous visuals that are not only new in subject matter but pleasing to the eyes and ears

What made 'The Squid Game' so successful was not only its deep theme and new way of solving it, but also its splendid visual beauty.
