Time slot: Thursday (single drop)
Broadcaster: Netflix
Genre: Thriller, action, suspense
Episode count: 7
Reasons to watch: In the spirit of transparency, I’m not a Squid Game fan. But in all fairness, it was such a huge turning point for K-content that I can respect it, and understand why all eyes are pointed at this new season and how it will perform globally. Also, they really stacked the cast this time around! Part of me is like a proud halmae; the other part of me is like an angry mom shouting that “they” can’t have Lee Jin-wook, Im Shi-wan, and my other children. But I digress.
Whether the story lives up to the first season or not, it’s certain that everyone’s going to watch to find out. And it’s always something to appreciate/celebrate when a person’s brainchild comes to life in such an unforgettable way.
TL;DR: In case you didn’t realize, Squid Game 2 is dropping the day after Christmas. Also, Gong Yoo will be there.
