The Squid Game 2 series aired on December 26, immediately taking the global screen by storm. The ambiguous ending of part 2 hints at part 3, which is expected to air in mid-2025.
Squid Game 2 consists of 7 episodes, continuing the dramatic survival storyline that opened and caused a fever in part 1. Compared to before, the film has added many new folk games, the competitions become more fierce and violent.
Not only does it involve individual games, part 2 also requires players to connect and work together if they want to win. The context of the confrontations is also more expansive, not just exploiting locations in Korea.
Regarding part 3, Hwang Dong Hyuk - a member of the Squid Game production team shared on Hollywood Reporter, this will be the final season of this survival series. The final part will continue to follow the male lead Gi Hun, decoding the mysteries behind this deadly game. In addition, the team also affirmed that they will build a complete, reasonable ending, conveying many meaningful messages, to summarize the 3 seasons of the series.
It is known that the sequel to Squid Game was made at the same time as part 2, keeping the same important cast such as Lee Byung Hun, Lee Jung Jae, Gong Yoo... Audiences expect that the final part will improve the negative points in the previous 2 films, bringing a happy ending to the characters.
While waiting for part 3 to be released, film critics have shared some personal views that make Squid Game more attractive.
Gi Hun needs to change
According to the producers, Season 2 and Season 3 were filmed back-to-back, with a total of 13 episodes. It is still unclear how director Hwang Dong Hyuk will handle the failed rebellion in Season 3. But critics say it was too reckless, both in execution and in the number of people involved, despite Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae) having good intentions. If he does not come up with a new strategy and instead continues to "fight with an egg against a rock," Season 3 could be a frustrating experience for viewers.
Waiting for Junhee's child
The idea started from wondering why director Hwang Dong Hyuk included Junhee (Jo Yu Ri), a pregnant woman, in the game in part 2. Junhee was in danger from the first game, but she survived with the help of Geum Ja (Kang Ae Shim).
The idea of putting a pregnant woman in such a deadly game seemed forced and received some negative reactions. But perhaps director Hwang had a bigger plan.
If Junhee gives birth in Season 3, it could inspire Gi Hun to continue fighting. It could also motivate Myung Gi (Yim Si Wan) to change for the sake of her newborn child. Or, it could serve as a turning point for No Eul (Park Gyu Young), who left her young daughter behind to join the game.
Focus on 2 main characters
Experts say that the film is introducing too many characters but not spending enough time exploring them, causing the plot to be spread out. In part 3, it is necessary to focus on the two main characters, Gi Hun and the masked man. Exploring more deeply the mind battle between them to highlight the message of the film.
Exploring Hwang Jun Ho's character further
Hwang Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon) is the only character who does not participate in the game but receives a lot of attention throughout both parts 1 and 2. He infiltrates the game to search for his missing brother.
In part 2, he traces the island where the game is taking place and tries to contact Seong Gi Hun to stop it but fails. Experts say that this character has a lot more to offer than just finding his brother and discovering the rules of the game. "Jun Ho needs more screen time to meet the audience's expectations."
