Kiddie games turn deadly in Korean series ‘Squid Game’

MANILA — One of the most common games that many Filipinos played in their childhood was Red Light, Green Light, more known locally as Pepsi 7-Up.

Red Light, Green Light is one of several childhood games that are given deadly twists in “Squid Game,” which follows 456 participants competing with each other in order to win ₩45.6 billion . “This is a story of people that used to play these games as children and they come back as adults to win the cash prize,” he said.

In the show, actors Lee Jungjae and Park Haesoo play childhood friends who are reunited in the games after facing financial difficulties. “The biggest reason [why I joined the series] has to be the script and how it depicted so many different types of people. The growth, the character arc and how each character developed, it was all just so charming and very intriguing,” said Park, who previously starred in the series “Prison Playbook.”Jung shared that she auditioned for the series while she was in New York for fashion week.

“After a decade… people have told me that this story is quite reflective of what’s actually happening in the world. It reminds them of things that are happening in this very tough society, so with that I expanded the story about two years ago.”
