On December 26, the movie "Squid Game 2" officially aired and continued to cause a global fever.
In part 2, player 456 Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae) returned with the purpose of finding the game master to end this bloody game. In "Squid Game 2", many new characters and games appeared, stimulating the curiosity of the audience. However, part 2 was criticized for its plot with many loopholes, superficial character development, and weakness towards the end. Among them, an absurd plot caused the most controversy.
According to Koreaboo analysis, when participating in this life-and-death game, each player will be put into a coma for examination and taken to the game venue.
In part 1, player items such as jewelry were removed and all players had to wear the signature blue outfit.
The strictness in checking players was also shown when Gi Hun's tooth tracking device was also discovered. However, in the first game - the game "Hibiscus", player Thanos still kept the cross necklace containing drugs. The out-of-date rapper continuously used stimulants to participate in this life-and-death game.
This detail caused controversy among the audience. Many considered this a "plot hole" because it was impossible for the staff not to discover Thanos' cross necklace.
However, there is an opinion that the staff intentionally left this necklace for Thanos. Because they discovered that it contained drugs - which could make the game more interesting - exactly the original intention of the creators of this game.
This has also been evidenced by the fact that after using stimulants, Thanos became excited and pushed everyone in the "Hibiscus" game, causing them to die right from the first game.
The producer has yet to explain this detail and "Squid game 2" continues to be a topic on social networks.
In another development, the ambiguous ending of "'Squid Game 2" also made viewers angry and forced to wait until part 3 for the story to be resolved. According to director Hwang Dong Hyuk, season 3 may be even darker.
"Season 3 of 'Squid Game' will be set 10 to 20 years in the future. It will be darker and sadder, but at the same time, it will be quite funny," the director shared with AP.
According to AP News, "Squid Game 3" has been developed alongside season 2 and is currently in post-production. Season 3 is expected to be released in the first half of 2025.
