Everything You Need To Know About Squid Game

In the series, Seong, Gi-Hun (played by Lee, Jung-Jae) has lost his job, is deep in debt and on the verge of losing custody of his daughter to his ex-wife. He is invited to join the game, where he meets his old classmate Cho, Sang-Woo (Park, Hae-Soo) who is amongst the 455 other players ‘recruited’. It is a compelling portrayal of the mixture of coercion and apparent choice that the players (and by implication we as citizens) face regarding participation in real life ‘games’ like work, housing, politics and so on.
