Which game do you think is the most disturbing in Squid Game?

Korean TV series and movies have gained worldwide space. After the great movie “Parasite”, winner of 4 awards at the 2020 Oscar ceremony, outstripping the favorites “Joker” and “1917”, attention is focused on the series “Squid Game”, aired by Netflix. 

Some people think that this kind of production is great, but for others, the words “disturbing” and “horrible” might be the best way to describe Hwang Dong-hyuk’s 2021 dystopian series “Squid Game”, because it applies to so many of the games’ brutal and terrible characteristics.

The foundation of “Squid Game” is, of course, the games in which the characters compete with each other. And each of those games has its awful brand of pain, fear, and trauma. Which game do you think is the most disturbing? 

To answer that question, you can go to Netflix and watch the available episodes, as well as know other Korean productions and conclude if you like them or not. After that, think about if they can compete with other amazing series that you like.
