Hwang Dong-hyuk

Director

South Korean film and television director and screenwriter — creator of the Netflix series Squid Game.

Creator, writer and director of Squid Game (Netflix, 2021).

Reviews highlight Squid Game as a brilliant, compulsively watchable series that channels social critique into a stylized, violent game. Critics praise acting, visual design and the show's simplification of capitalist dynamics. Comparisons to Bong Joon-ho's Parasite appear in the reviews. The series is noted for its emotional and moral probing despite structural simplicity.

For:Viewers interested in social-satire, dystopian drama, international/ Korean television and critiques of capitalism.

 Squid Game is a brilliant series because it keeps us in its pocket, we don't quite know why we feel this urgency to see what happens, how that terrifying game (of massacre) unfolds.
