Squid Game, we knew you weren’t done with us yet.
Writer-director Hwang told Variety in late September that he may return to big-screen movies before thinking about a Squid Game sequel.
I see it on the global news that the police force can be very late on acting on things — there are more victims or a situation gets worse because of them not acting fast enough.
I have a very high-level picture in my mind, but I’m not going to work on it straight away.
One thing seems clear: It won’t take as long as the first season, which he began planning a decade ago.
Where did we leave our hero? At the end of the first season, Gi-hun hasn’t shown a desire to spend his huge winnings, understandably too destroyed by the experience of seeing his friends die.
Meanwhile Hwang In-ho won the game in 2015 and somehow decided to become the Front Man, running the tournament for the mysterious host who turns out to be the elderly Oh Il-nam.
And maybe his wife, daughter, and his wife’s new family will return from the US for some involvement.
But Gi-hun managed to find her little brother, Cheol, and took him to Sang-woo’s mother to raise, with the benefit of a whole bunch of won.
Maybe viewers will see in flashback the 2015 tournament that In-ho won — it might explain something about why he stayed with the game instead of taking his piggy bank full of won and leaving.
Oh Il-nam mentioned his son — could he show up in some way? He’s likely as wealthy as his dad, so he might not need to compete in the games but could be behind the scenes helping run the tournament.
Kang Sae-byeok unless the second season is set far in the future.
Who knows what to believe about Han Mi-nyeo ? She had a quick restroom rendezvous with Jang Deok-su but then took him out in the glass bridge game.
Late in the series, a group of rich men are brought in to bet on the games and watch them live.
In the first season, the players fought through deadly battles of red light, green light; tug-of-war; and marbles; carved Dalgona candy out of a tin without breaking its shape; crossed a glass bridge that had breakable panels; and finally, faced the squid game of the title.
Gi-hun wondered numerous times if one of the games would be something the female players were better at, as opposed to tug-of-war or something that favored the men.
Americans may call this Chinese jump rope, and it involves winding elastic ropes around two players’ legs so a third player can jump in and out.
In a Korean-language article, Hwang said he considered two other games: Dong, Dong, Dongdaemun .
