The Squid Game, a Netflix show, is set to become the most-watched show in the country. The show follows a group of debt-ridden people who are lured into a deadly game by a salesman, Gong Yoo. The main characters are from the bottom rungs of society, often deep in debt. The game reflects capitalism, with everyone but the winner dying for the cash prize. The protagonist, Sang-woo, detachs himself from the characters and manipulates them, leading to their deaths. The show also explores the dichotomy between the rich and the poor.
The Hunger Games begins with a traditional Korean game called ddakji, where players must flip a piece of paper to win money. The game is rigged, with the salesman giving the player 100,000 won and a business card. The games depict evil, such as the pursuit for money, corrupt doctors, and emotionless guards. Masks are also a symbol, with guards wearing shapes and being shot dead if they reveal their identity. The ultra-rich white spectators, dressed in masks, are stuffed with money and exploitation. The game system represents the ultimate debt of people willing to engage in the games of their childhood, highlighting capitalism at its finest.
