All about the second season of the Squid Game: Clues, theories and some spoilers
The creator of the series and the actors have left us some clues.
The phenomenon series of the year is The Squid Game. To measure the magnitude of its success, just one piece of information is enough: La Casa de Papel presented its last season (the first five chapters) and The Squid Game not only surpassed it, both in views and popularity, it also became the series most all time view on Netflix.
However, this series that crudely shows us issues of high social and psychological impact, culminated in the first season without giving us a clear thread about its continuation, or does it leave us clues? Let's see both the clues that the first part left us, added to the recent statements of Hwang Dong-hyuk, its creator and some extra notes to glimpse what awaits us in a possible season from The Squid Game 2.
Clues in the plot of the first season of the Squid Game
Those of us who are lovers of series and movies tend to tie up loose ends long before they are officially explained, which is why many of us were struck by a fact in the first part of the Squid Game : The Undercover Policeman, after receiving a shot from his brother, he fell into the water, and we did not know more about him.
It was his brother, the shot seems to have hit him in the shoulder, and he simply did not appear again in the series.
The odds are high that he fell into the water, swam to a shore and survived the adventure, to join as one of the main characters in the second part.
In addition, this infiltrated policeman, represented by the actor Wi ha Jun, is one of the favorites of the fans of the series.
With the deception made by the two friends who went to the end, they lowered in sympathy for the followers and although it is likely that the winner of the first part will be a main actor in the second, Wi Ha Jun is still the great favorite.
In addition to having millions of fans sighing since the 1.80 tall actor (well above the average in Korea) is a professional model with a career on the rise.
In an interview, the model and actor stated that he would like his character to remain alive to continue the investigation. Wish or information about the plans for The Squid Game 2 ? It is possible that the actor has left us a spoiler without wanting to.
The winner of the contest in the first part, on the other hand, decides at the last minute to abandon the idea of going after his daughter and take advantage of everything he can offer to get her back.
In what seems like an illogical decision, she stops having the future she has always dreamed of with her daughter to take a chance again in the game (or fighting the organization).
This turn of the story is also a clear sign of what the second part could be, if we already know that that winner had contact with the detective, being his informant to know everything about the game, we can imagine that they will contact again in case of Whoever infiltrated the organization is alive.
With a lot of money and knowledge about the game's system, plus the confessions made to him by player 001 who was actually the mastermind behind it all, it becomes more clear that the second season of The Squid Games will be about.
The creator of The Games of the series The Squid Game speaks
The creature's father, Hwang Dong-hyuk, who is giving interviews and answering questions about the series despite having other projects underway, made it clear that Gi-hun regretting getting on the plane at the last minute is really a message, it's about to reflect and postulate a vision against the competitive flow of society, to seek to do justice instead of simply taking the money and being another rich man who enjoys luxuries.
Trying to show the reality of many people in the world, the series tries to focus on inequalities and the extreme to which people desperate for the suffocation of the world and material needs can go.
However, so many questions ended up loosening the nut a bit and the ingenious Hwang Donr-hyuk ended up expressing it head-on in an interview: By changing his mind and abandoning the idea of getting on the plane, a second part could have the protagonist trying to convince people not to play the game, but it would certainly have to be played again, these are things that the creator has made it clear that he could explore in a second part, but for now he is not in his plans to release the continuation of the story.
There are many ends to tie. For any observer, it is risky that the organization continues to recruit people with the same character, in the same places and with the same game of offering them money and charging them with slaps.
This risk taken seems to be aimed at provoking the winner. Is getting him back in the game part of the initial plan? Was this how the detective's brother ended up working in the organization as one of the main in the entire game?
The past of that leader is not entirely clear, nor is the past of the old player 001, who ended up being that of the idea and seeing the detective return can be practically taken for granted if it is decided to launch the second part.
For fans of the series, the more the ending is analyzed, the clearer it becomes.
The challenge of the old player 001 to the winner, showing him that man in the snow and placing the bet before he died (we cannot be sure that he died either, the machines were connected before the protagonist climbed, and it could be part of a plan), more the appearance of the game's recruiter at the subway station, they seem to tell the winner:
"The world has not changed, there are still miserable desperate people, and they will want to play, do you plan to do something about it?"
