I've just finished watching the Korean drama- Squid Game. Finally, another 'game' show that I would definitely tune in.
This series reminded me of shows such as Liar Game and Battle Royale. And yes, similar plot like those 'game' series I've watched previously. However, the excitement actually comes from the different game stages in the show.
At times, it is about remaining calm to think and analysis during critical moments. During difficult situation, you just got to persevere and keep it going. A world that is full of greed and selfishness, but thankfully humanity still exists in mankind.
If given a choice, would you choose money over humanity?
