[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Squid Game" Episode 9
By William Schwartz | Published on
As expected, the final game of the "Squid Game" is the "Squid Game" detailed in the first episode. I have been calling the overall game by that moniker because the overall competition doesn't appear to actually have a name, and I have to call it something. But anyway, the rules of that game, which I couldn't really follow when it was first introduced, don't actually matter here as the contest almost immediately devolves into a knifefight between Ki-hoon and Sang-woo.
