Squid Game
Squid Game is a blood-drenched K-drama that sees 456 players who are close to financial ruin battle it out to win a 45.6 billion won cash prize. However, these games are far from trivial and losing means sacrificing their lives. The Netflix show features Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun, Park Hae-soo as Cho Sang-woo and HoYeon Jung as Kang Sae-byeok. The survival series was directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk and has been compared to Battle Royale and Liar Game.
