![]() Known as 067, or Kang Sae-byeok, she quickly became a fan favorite. After doing my research, I took a closer look at the girl whom the internet will be simping over for the foreseeable future, and I was sprung. It’s a Korean thriller in which hundreds of people in debt are rounded up and forced to play children’s games - like Red Light, Green Light - for a chance to win money, but they are unaware that if they lose, they die. Speaking of mystery, the new series seemed to pop up overnight, becoming possibly Netflix’s most popular show ever. The moments when she smirks are magical, and she has deep eye bags that somehow add to her mysterious vibe. She has wispy bangs, big eyes, and pouty lips that make her look like she’s always both sad and serious. By the end of the episode, the starting number of 456 has obviously gone down significantly, with a much smaller group of people remaining.Īmong them is Gi-hun, his former classmate and businessman Cho Sang woo (Park Hae-soo), the pickpocket from earlier in the episode Kang Sae byeok (HoYeon Jung), an elderly man named Oh Il-nam (Oh Yeong-su), a gangster Jang Deok-su (Heo Sung-tae) who we saw antagonizing Sae-byeok in the beginning and Abdul Ali (Anupam Tripathi), a competitor who risks his own life to save Gi-hun despite not knowing him.Last week I began seeing TikToks about a new Netflix show called Squid Game, but I quickly dismissed them, thinking they were something like the random TikToks I get on a daily basis about old SVU episodes or obscure movies.Īnd then I saw her, the person who would launch my interest in this new show. All of the people who try to escape are brutally murdered by fortified wall guns. ![]() Hundreds rush toward the doors to escape, but it's too late. It doesn't take long for the competitors to realize the extremely real stakes in this game.Ĭhaos breaks out once the first two men are shot and killed. When the robot girl isn't looking at the group, she sings a Red Light, Green Light song, but when she turns her head to the contestants, all must stop instantly, or they will be gunned down and killed immediately. A giant animatronic girl stands at the precipice of a specially designed arena. You might have played a version of it as a kid, although hopefully, it wasn't like the one in this show. The first game is Red Light, Green Light. Gi-hun is hesitant to accept, so the man gives him a card and warns him the spots are filling up fast. Before leaving, the man presents Gi-hun with an interesting proposition: play a game with higher stakes and win more money. After getting slapped around dozens of times, he finally manages to win and earns the 100,000. That money would be a start on his debts, so Gi-hun accepts. If Gi-hun wins, he'll receive 100,000 won, but if he loses then Gi-hun will owe the man the same amount, or he pay with his body by letting the man slap him. This man offers to play a game of ddakji with Gi-hun. On his way home, Gi-hun runs into a seemingly random man dressed business professional at the subway station. Based on her reaction, you can tell Gi hun's kid is accustomed to being disappointed by her dad. He takes his daughter out for a lackluster birthday dinner, unable to fulfill any of the promises he made to her after he bragged about having tons of money right before losing it all. Gi-hun is given one month to find more than 4Million Won or the shark will take his kidney and an eyeball for sale. It's regrettable timing since, of course, it's at that exact moment his loan shark comes to visit. While he does win big by betting at the horse track, he quickly loses all of his money when he accidentally runs into a pickpocket. Within the first half-hour of the episode, we get a pretty good idea of who Gi-hun is and where his priorities lie. His mum had a clear conversation with him about Her Granddaughter whose birthday was that day.
