Squid season three season divides viewers when gloomy themes get home

Warning: This article contains spoilers.

Millions of fans say goodbye to Squid game, awarded “Amy”, headed by Netflix schedules and has become a symbol of South Korea’s ascension in Hollywood.

The fictional show stems from the players associated with the money when they fight a series of traditional Korean children’s games – with a turn, because losing in each round.

The Squid game sucked out from 2021 viewers with candy and gloomy reports of capitalism and humanity. Both with the third and last season, released last Friday, fans around the world return to reality.

Some South Koreans, however, found that they were reflecting on a society that inspired the Distopian series.

“I feel that the game squid 3 revealed true feelings and raw inner thoughts of Korean people,” said one comment on YouTube under the video of the third season.

“It has so well reflected reality as in real life, at work, it is just full of ruthless people ready to crush you. This show nailed it.”

Game with squid was born against the background of the competition . where are the people too tense to have children and the university location exam is regarded as A defined moment of human life.

Various show characters – which include salary, migrants worker and cryptocurrency cheater – are attracted from numbers that many South Koreans will find acquaintances.

The accumulation of the main character of Sohn Huna, a plant worker who was fired and later a strike, was also inspired by the event in real life: the strike of 2009 at the Ssangyong Motor plant, where the workers encountered the Omants about wide dismissal. This is remembered today as One of the largest confrontation in the country.

“The drama can be fictitious, but it feels more realistic than the reality itself,” Sang Chel, a movie enthusiast, wrote in his review.

“Non -standard work, youth unemployment, broken families are not only story devices, but also the most struggle we face every day.”

These darker messages seemed to be cleared on Saturday night, as the massive parade noted the release of the last blockbuster season. A giant doll is a doll and dozens of faceless guards in sports suits – among other motives of the deadly games – they moved down the central Seoul to many fanfares.

For South Korea leaders, Squid has become a symbol of K-Drama’s success on the world stage. It is also part of success-cut with K-Pop Act BTS and OSCAR, which wins the movie parasite-on which the recently elected President Li Jay Mung wants to take advantage when he aims to export k-culture far and wide.

There are signs that the Squid excitement can even go further: the final scene of the show, where Kate Blanchet plays the Korean game with the Los -Angeles oil, caused rumors about the American Spinaf.

The series ended with an “open” note, Li-Yung-Js, a series star, the BBC reported. “So, it raises a lot of questions for viewers. Hope people will tell about these questions, reflect on questions and try to find the answer.”

In the following seasons, the viewers are watching the Ji-Hun’s desire to knock down the games of the same name, which are packed as entertainment for the wealthy VIP group.

But its uprising is not possible, and by the end of Ji -hun is forced to sacrifice to save the child of another player – the end that has polarized viewers.

Some claimed that Ji -hun’s actions were not square with a dark portrait of the reality developed by the show -the one that so well captured the relentless elements of human nature.

“The excessive altruism of the heroes was disturbing – almost to what it would seem invariably,” said the Nate Pan. “It felt as a false, performers of kindness, giving priorities to strangers over their own families for no real reasons.”

But others said the death of Ji-Huna fits the attachment of the show to the uncomfortable truths.

“It perfectly describes humanity and the message of the show,” commented another YouTube.

“As far as we wanted to see Ji Hun wins, kill the frontman and VIPS and stop the games once and for all before going to the sunset, it’s just not the world in which we live, and it is definitely not the one in which Ji-Hong lived.”

Khvang Dong-Huk, the creator of the show, told reporters on Monday that he understands the “ambiguous reaction” by the final season.

“There was no expectation in the first season, so the shock and freshness worked. But in the seasons two and three, the expectations were high, and it changed,” Hwang said on Monday.

“Fans of the game wanted more games, others wanted deeper messages, and some were more invested in the characters. Everyone was waiting for something else.”

For some, at least the final choice of Jio has suggested a reliable reflection of reality: that even in times of hardship, kindness can prevail.

“This paradox – cruelty and warmth coexist is what the finale has made such a movement,” said Mr. Chong, Movie -blogger. “Observing the game squid made me reflect on myself. As a person who worked in the field of education and counseling, I asked if kindness could change anything.”

“That’s why I stayed with this story. That’s why I call this end beautiful.”
