Squid Game is a South Korean survival drama television series created by Hwang Dong-hyuk. It depicts a dystopian world where 456 financially challenged contestants are tricked into participating in an unusual competition. This competition, consisting of six traditional games for children, seems easy at first, but quickly turns into a deadly competition with serious consequences for the losers.

These games are a perfect metaphor for a capitalist society where only the fittest survive. Despite its game-like premise, Squid Game is a commentary on socioeconomic inequality and materialism. Players represent ordinary people driven to desperation as they try to survive in a capitalist system. Despite the grim reality of potentially fatal games, players cling to the slightest hope of winning, underscoring the powerful lure of wealth in modern society.
