Squid Game 2021

I love k-dramas as a genre, and I was intrigued to see what they did to gain such attention.
Not disappointed. It has the gore of saw and cube (although not too shocking for those who watch "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Walking Dead" calmly while they eat), along with the sensitivity and character growth I love in the k-drama genres. Great combination for me. It is also take on the ideas presented by "Parasite", but with a quicker pace than the usual TV-Dramas from Korea itself (they usually have at least 12-16 episodes that last over an hour), so it's like they made the perfect mixture of East and West here. I really want to continue seeing how this genre evolves in South Korea to take over the world :)
As it happens with many series, the dropped the ball just a little towards the end and left some storylines unresolved, but the good acting, the music and the amazing visuals that immerse you in the game made up for it completely.
