The stars listed below have given life to the profoundly harrowing yet philosophical tale of Netflix’s Squid Game
Netflix’s latest show Squid Game offers a dark and twisted tale that leans heavily on the realities of life, social hierarchy, and more. The fast-paced show immediately introduces the viewer to the financial misfortunes of Seong Gi-hun, a gambling addict who lives under the roof of his ailing mother.
Desperate for cash, Gi-hun finds himself in a mysterious place where he and a bunch of people in debt are forced to clash through a series of games. On their heads is a large sum of money which can only be taken home by one person.
Below are the names of the people who have given life to the whole show:
Hwang Dong-hyuk
As the creator, director Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote the screenplay and directed Squid Game. He is known for his ability to work in diverse genres and for his award-winning films such as Silenced, Miss Granny, and The Fortress.
The director was able to create Squid Game after over 10 years of planning, being inspired by a comic book in 2008. You’ll be able to appreciate his genius when you see how he changes beautiful, innocent memories of childhood games into an extremely competitive and horrifying reality in the series.
