Squid Game season 2 is the highly-anticipated return of the Netflix global phenomenon. With such rave reviews for season 1 and the game finally over for Player 456, it was hard to imagine where the show would go next. After all, he’d survived, right? While 45.6 billion won should have been enough for Gi-hun to start over, he couldn’t stand the idea of the game continuing. The money, as far he’s concerned, is covered in the blood of the players. So, in Squid Game season 2, it’s time for revenge.
In pursuit of the salesman who recruits players with a game of Ddajki, Gi-hun builds a team to search every subway station in Seoul. And, eventually, he teams up with season 1’s Jun-ho, the undercover cop that infiltrated the island. Let’s not forget that Jun-ho discovered the true identity of Front Man — the ruler of the game — and an important part of season 2. If this was a chess game, the pairing of Gin-hi and Jun-ho feels like the perfectly logical next step for the show to take.
