Everyone was crazy about "Squid Game" on Netflix in 2021.
One of my American friends strongly recommended this, then I've been a big user of Netflix to watch particularly Korean dramas for more than two years.
I love such fast-paced dramas with kinds of weird sounds stuck in my head. Especially, Tug of War as the third game and Hopscotch as the fifth were great.
I was just thinking it's almost time to start the second series, but before it, the reality show "Squid Game: The Challenge" has been streaming, so, of course, I had to watch it!
It's really interesting because what happened in the shows are exactly the same as what we experience in our real life. Even if I could eliminate an classmate, boss, colleague or neighbor whom I reallly hate, the peaceful life wouldn't come to me soon. Another person, who I've never cared about, would take the potision to behave selfishly. That means we should focus on how to survive while getting along with those, rather than how to eliminate them.
I'm so impressed by what a player said to all, "Be humble and grateful." It's absolutely important to socialize with other people. I wanted him to win the whole game, but he was dramatically eliminated, unfortunately.
On the other hand, I noticed some strange points even it's "reality" show, for example, it has an original rule called "test". The tests occur at intervals between games, and several players must have been eliminated at each test. The players were getting more confused and complicated as they try to win within the rules. Moreover, the final test to select two finalists from the last three players was probably intended by the organizer.
Anyway, the stage settings are perfectly immitated. You can feel like jumping into the dramas.
