The series is based on several elements that will all be impeccable. The twists and turns are always well brought and the tension is very strong. This is a real demonstration of how to make an addictive series thanks to its construction and how the story can be put at the service of its well-developed characters.
These are particularly interesting and the second episode even takes the trouble to discover more particularly some to which we attach ourselves very quickly. This is of course not a good idea in a series where the number of victims increases with each episode is where the end remains uncertain for most of them
The interpretation is really very good. Lee Jung-jae is excellent as a man living with his mother and trying to pay off his debts. Jung Ho-yeon literally breaks the screen as a young North Korean wishing to make money. Park Hae-so is really just a brilliant man wanting to win the bet. Yeong-Su oh is very good as an elderly man trying to regain taste for life. Anupam Tripathi is particularly touching in Pakistani wanting to protect his family. Heo Sung-Tae is very good at heartless criminal. Kim Joo-ryoung is impeccable as an irritating woman who wants to achieve her goals at all costs. And Wi Ha-joon brilliantly embodies a tenacious inspector trying to put an end to the game.
The cast of Squid Game really put their A-Game in making the show an electrifying one! Each of them did compelling portrayals. It is the first time that I saw the majority of the actors in this series except for Park Hae Soo that totally loved in Prison Playbook. we never thought that he has this kind of versatility in him. From the innocent and naive character in Prison Playbook, he flawlessly transitioned to a darker role as Cho Sang Woo here in Squid Game. His portrayal is absolutely great! Lee Jung Jae is such a praiseworthy actor! He accomplished his role in the most grounded manner. His performance as Seong Gi Hun made me crave more of him! There’s a lot of new faces here but it doesn’t stop them from unleashing their full potentials! New stars are definitely born from this show! Jung Ho Yeon, the ultimate fan favorite is totally deserving of the recognition she is receiving right now. This is actually her debut drama and I am pretty sure that henceforth, she will start to receive countless offers as she really did a memorable execution as Kang Sae Byeok. Wi Ha Joon got a small amount of screen time compared to the main leads but it didn’t stop him from being recognized by the fans. He did a very charismatic performance in portraying the character Hwang Jun Ho. And to all the actors that I failed to mention, all of you did a tremendous job!
Squid Game Review: The Last Words
Squid Game entertains, excites, and engages with believable characters and a great rhythm, but in the end, comes out some crackles that ruin a near-perfect picture. The end result is definitely positive, and if you’re looking for a series that will keep you glued to the screen, this is definitely for you.
