Squid Game

8. The Squid Game ending explained. Super-spoiler time, because we’re going to talk about the series’ ending. Seong Gi-hun wins, and he learns who’s really running the game (you may have figured it out since we don’t see this character die in the game, but it’s such a juicy plot twist that I won’t reveal it here).

What makes Kang Sae-byeok so compelling in Squid Game is how her needs differ from the rest of the ensemble. As one of the few characters who isn’t competing in deadly games for financial gain, she’s someone viewers can easily root for.

In Squid Game, Anupam Tripathi plays a Pakistani migrant worker Ali. It’s a tear-jerker character for his display of innocence and loyalty throughout the brutal survival game.

Gi-hun accepted the offer to join the 33rd Squid Game in hopes of winning a large amount of money to pay back his large debts and his mother’s hospital bills, gain back custody of his daughter, and secure a good life for him and his family.
