Many believe that it will soon win the title of the most popular Netflix series, which so far holds the Bridgertone. It dominates the memes that flood the social media, has aroused the interest of the largest news sites in the world and makes its impact felt even in the Korean political scene. The reason, of course, is "Squid Game", the Korean series that has been repeatedly rejected by television networks to find its way on Netflix and in the hearts of millions of viewers around the world.
The case is gloomy, dystopian, "annoying". The images are shocking, disgusting, test the endurance of the spectators. We read these in the reviews, but at the same time they adore it, as well as its audience. 95% of Squid Game viewers come from outside Korea and the series has been subtitled in 31 languages and dubbed into 13. It has sparked a strong interest in the Korean language.
The series "threw" the internet in South Korea, with the result that the internet connection provider SK Broadbank sued Netflix, calling it to pay the cost of the increased traffic and maintenance work that it requires.
At the same time, according to Google, the search for the conversion of Korean won to US dollars has jumped to record levels, as American fans of the series are looking to find how many dollars the 45,6 billion won correspond to. Here's a good point to say in a nutshell what the case is. A dark organization gathers 456 people with debts they are unable to repay and offers them to play in a survival game with a prize pool of 45,6 billion won. What he has not told them, of course, is that as the trials progress, some will be killed.
The green uniforms worn by players and the fuchsia worn by their guards are the most popular in Google searches for this year's Haloween. Sneakers similar to those worn by players in the series have also seen their sales take off by 7.800% according to Sole Supplier.
