Well, I know its not Bollywood web series, but this Korean web series Squid Game from Netflix feels much like Hindi or any other Indian web series with Hollywood level touch. The edge of the seat survival thriller with metaphorical take upon modern day capitalist society, class disparity where money is everything that matters.

If you haven't watched yet, I recommend to watch it in Korean Audio instead of English/Hindi with English subtitles.

Am gonna start this weekend.😎


Even I can't bear watching dubbing. I saw Money Heist in Spanish although I couldn't understand a word (and thereby learnt the Spanish F word - gaali ka mazaa dubbing mein kahan 😆).

Yup.... It's well made but slightly overrated...

If you have watched the Japanese movie battle Royal then squid game seems like child's play(literally)

Ohh no. I have seen Battle Royale and it IS an excellent movie. I'm gonna lower my expectations now. 😭


Regarding poverty: Parasite was the first Korean content I watched. And it was an excellent commentary on economic imbalance in our society. First time I saw any content that tackles poverty after a really long time. So am excited to look at that perspective here too.

It was good but overrated. I liked the games of Alice in Borderland more

I've finished watching it. First 7 episodes are quite good but the last 2 were disappointing especially the climax. They f*cked up really bad at the end.

I watched it. It was a good timepass but that ending ruined it for me. Such a blah climax.

Climax could have been much better. old man, the front man revelation scenes were not needed.
