#PAPERS PLEASE GAME SERIES#

The series is sort of like a cross between Battle Royale and the manga Liar Game (except, y’know, Korean, not Japanese), so if that kind of thing is your jam, you’ll probably dig Squid Game. The prize for doing so is 45.6 billion won (about $38.7 million USD) - but although the games are of the kind commonly played on the playground, they’re far from gentle or fun. Created, written, and directed by Hwang Song-hyuk and starring an ensemble cast including Hwang Dong-hyuk, starring Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Oh Yeong-su, Wi Ha-joon, Jung Ho-yeon, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam Tripathi, and Kim Joo-ryoung - all excellent, by the way - it centers around a group of 456 people who choose to participate in a mysterious contest in which they are whisked away to an undisclosed location and tasked with making it through six rounds of children’s games. Previously: In the event that you have somehow missed it, Squid Game(오징어 게임, or Ojing-eo Geim) is a South Korean television show that arrived on Netflix on Sept.

Said a spokesperson for the streaming service to the paper, “Together with the production company, we are working to resolve this matter, including editing scenes with phone numbers where necessary.” Update: According to the Independent, Netflix is working on possibly removing the number from the series, or at least making it more difficult to see in its entirety. Why the series didn’t just use a made-up number escapes me, but, well… here we are. So, a plea: Please don’t call the Squid Game phone number. But not one set up for the show it’s actually in service, and has long been assigned to a private citizen. There’s a problem with this unexpected development, though: That phone number is, in fact, a real number. And you know what also took people by surprise? The fact that folks actually started calling the Squid Game phone number, thinking that maybe it might be real. I mean, it’s truly terrific television, so in many ways, it’s understandable that it did - but at the same time, its extreme popularity took most people by surprise.

The game itself is interesting because it is a unique and good idea.When Squid Game debuted on Netflix earlier in September, no one really expected it to become as popular as it has.

It can be said that it is a real paper game.Become a worker at an immigration checkpoint in a country and check the facts of various documents and visas to enter and exit.The border station and wall where the player is located has another smell of the Berlin Wall. Although the country and location are fictitious, they seem to have a shadow of that era. The tide of refugees is surging, smugglers, armed agents, rebels, refugees, and all kinds of people have almost turned border inspection into a high-risk occupation. Different nationalities in the country turned against each other. In some places, drastic changes began, and in some places, armed conflicts even appeared. It was the turbulent late 1980s in that region. The game is set in a fictitious Eastern European country and several neighboring countries. At that time, computer, video comparison, digital identity information and other things were still like magic Things, most of the time is “hand check”, the various numbers on various documents are not compared with anything like a database at all, relying on the comparison of various documents, this terrible workload makes this profession feel more pressure. Their daily job is to face tens of millions of all kinds of people and all kinds of passports, and then slap their entry stamps, and the next one.Īnd this game really compares all kinds of computer equipment like the border check you see? Please, this game is set in 198X. You may have seen it at the airport and you may have seen it at the customs.
