Squid Game creator reveals unexpected reason he loves deadly Season 3 game

by

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but share an intriguing detail about Squid Game Season 3: though it presents a fresh array of lethal games, there’s one that resonates profoundly with creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, and not for the reasons you may initially assume.

The conclusion of the Netflix series was both breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreakingly tragic. Some characters managed to survive, such as Front Man, but unfortunately, Seong Gi-hun was not among them. Instead, he made the selfless choice to sacrifice himself to save Player 222’s baby.

In the end, Dong-hyuk debated sparing Gi-hun’s life, but ultimately decided to hold firm in his convictions to convey a powerful lesson about the value of self-sacrifice and working towards a brighter future for upcoming generations.

To set the record straight, I did give you all a heads up that Squid Game Season 3 was going to get grittier, bloodier, and downright gloomy… but let me remind you, it’s promised to have more laugh-out-loud moments too! So, buckle up for the emotional rollercoaster ahead!

Squid Game creator says Jump Rope is show’s funniest game

In a recent interview on Good Morning America, Dong-hyuk highlighted that Season 3 contained humorous aspects, and he personally found the jump rope scene to be the funniest moment across the entire series.

In case you recall, the game features a Red Light, Green Light doll and her partner who is swinging a massive pendulum-like jump rope. The objective for the players is to reach the opposite end of the bridge without falling off, potentially meeting an unfortunate end.

As a gamer, let me tell you, it seems straightforward enough, doesn’t it? But here’s the catch: there’s this colossal chasm in the bridge we have to leap over. And guess what? The rules don’t mention anything about players being able to undermine each other. You can bet your last game coin that someone took advantage of that loophole, setting a trap for the rest of us by pushing anyone who dared move forward. Now we’re all stuck, jumping in place like a line of nervous contestants at a game show.

Even though it can seem harsh when numerous characters meet their end in gruesome manners, including Player 222, the creator Dong-hyuk clarified that these scenes are intended to be humorous. In this way, he wants Squid Game to be an exhilarating ride with incredible peaks and devastating troughs.

“You’ll find funny moments in every single game,” he added. You’ve just got to know where to look.

Speaking as a devoted admirer, I must share that the creator, Dong-hyuk, has made it clear that Season 3 is the final installment of our beloved Netflix show. Originally, he had planned to end with Season 1, but due to the clamor from fans like us, he graciously returned for another season.

As a devoted admirer, if asked about the prospect of crafting Squid Game Season 4 or perhaps a spinoff in the future, he subtly hinted, “You know the old saying, ‘Never say never.’ While I can’t definitively close that door, the decision remains undecided. We’ll just have to wait and see!

So you’re saying there’s a chance. 

Currently, there’s buzz about Squid Game USA, a potential new project spearheaded by David Fincher. Additionally, it has been announced that Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 will be released soon, and we can look forward to a Season 3 as well.
