Squid Game was released worldwide on September 17, 2021, to critical acclaim and international attention. All nine episodes were written and directed by Hwang. Though he had initially written it in 2009, he was unable to find a production company to fund the idea until Netflix took an interest around 2019 as part of their drive to expand their foreign programming offerings. Hwang had conceived of the idea based on his own economic struggles early in life as well as the class disparity in South Korea. Its cast includes Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-joon, Jung Ho-yeon, O Yeong-su, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam Tripathi, and Kim Joo-ryoung. The name of the series draws from a similarly named Korean children's game. The series revolves around a contest in which 456 players, drawn from different walks of life but each deeply in debt, play a series of children's games for the chance to win a ₩45.6 billion prize, with a deadly penalty if they lose. Squid Game ( Korean: 오징어 게임 RR: Ojing-eo Geim) is a South Korean survival drama television series created by Hwang Dong-hyuk for Netflix.
