I had been waiting for some time for the outcome of this interesting series that had so much impact in the world. When the first season of Squid Game was aired, I did not understand why it had so much hype in social networks, the truth is that I was not attracted by what the story had to offer, however, I must confess that “pressured” by the strong hype, I decided to watch the first season. Like most people, I was immersed in this twisted story that we all know, in which greed, avarice and immorality play a fundamental role and in which the weak have no place.
Everyone should already know that in Squid Game we see a group of people trying to survive deadly games in order to obtain a great prize, with which they could pay their debts, cover illness expenses and solve their lives from the economic point of view. It is worth mentioning that these games are sponsored by an unscrupulous organization that seeks to entertain a few powerful people at the expense of the needs and weaknesses of hundreds of people desperate to obtain a monetary prize that not even working all their lives would be able to collect.
At the beginning of the second season we see how player 456, who was once the winner of the games, plots revenge against the organizers, he hates with all his being those who made him live a real hell and in that sense he has the conviction to use all available resources to end those games once and for all. Player 456 recruits some people to help him find the person in charge of finding the ideal people for the game, and so they start searching all over Seoul until they finally find the man.
But it won't be easy to put an end to a criminal organization that has unlimited resources and that watches every link that can harm them. So, after trying by force to find those who are in charge of bringing the games to life, the 456 player ends up once again involved in the games, once again he will have to participate in these nightmarish games using the same number he used in his previous participation, however, this time he is more cold-blooded and together with his wit he will try to end the games from the inside.

It is evident that those who organize the games are trying to show that human beings are evil and that, for something like money, they are capable of killing each other, betraying each other and going over anyone's head to achieve their goals, and well, honestly this is somewhat true, but player 456 along with another group of players show us that there is still hope to keep our sanity and to think about the mistakes that can be made, however, a whole bloodbath was necessary for many to come to their senses and understand that it is not worth sacrificing human integrity and our morals as human beings to get money in return.
I like that the series delves into human nature and how greed and avarice can take us to unsuspected extremes, to the point of not recognizing ourselves and our actions, but it also opens the window of sanity through the 456 player, who beyond being perfect, tries to make the best possible decisions according to the situation.
This is a well-rounded series from start to finish, well directed and produced in each of its three seasons, it offers dramatic scenes and lots of blood, but without overdoing it, in fact, I don't feel that there are elements of gore present in the series. The suspense is handled quite well and is mostly represented in the decision making of the players who are involved in terrifying circumstances. I must say that the actors did a splendid job, the expressiveness of the South Koreans is remarkable and makes the characters feel closer. I definitely recommend this series, I assure you that at least you will be entertained.
