Story Summary
"Squid Game" depicts a story of people who decide to become players of a mysterious survival game that has a huge $40 million prize pool. Ki Hoon, seems to be defeated by life after being fired from his job. He decided to join the survival game to win the bonus. Sang Woo, is Ki Hoon's childhood friend and he also joins the game when he gets into trouble at work even though he worked hard to get where he is now.
"Squid Game" is the name of a street game that Ki Hoon and Sang Woo played together as children. This is a physics game that only ends when there is a final winner, like the survival game they play now. It is so named because the player has to draw different geometric shapes on the ground, overall, they look like a squid. Edit Synopsis
