Your guide to... the squid game

"e;You have to watch Squidward's Game."e;Suddenly, you were hearing this phrase everywhere. For a TV series to achieve high viewership and global fame that transcends borders and cultures is not uncommon, and it happens quite often. But for a series to reach nearly 150 million viewers worldwide in less than two months since its premiere, and to become the most-watched series in the history of the largest entertainment network today, is certainly something else entirely. The talk surrounding the Korean drama has never ceased since its debut, and it has become a global phenomenon that everyone is trying to explain. This book reveals many of the series' secrets, details of the episodes, analyses of its diverse characters, the background of the cultural games, and attempts to uncover the reasons for its unprecedented success. The book immerses us in the world of the greatest television phenomenon of recent years and helps us fully enjoy everything about the series. "e;The Squid Game doesn't aspire to be the best show ever made, the most creative, or the most exciting. What The Squid Game truly aims for is to completely captivate you like no other show ever has, to excite you with extraordinary things happening to a group of ordinary people like you and me, making it impossible to finish one episode without immediately watching the next."e;This book is for all of us who refuse to believe that the first season of The Squid Game has ended; to remind us that there's still so much to learn; so many clues we missed the first time around; so many strange events we didn't notice; and so many small details that sometimes compel you to watch the entire series with fresh eyes.
