After the popular Netflix series “Squid Game” was officially launched in the middle of this month, it quickly became the top of the hit list in 76 regions, and the overall ranking was ranked first in the world. This is the first time that a Korean drama has achieved this achievement.
In an earlier interview with the Chosun Ilbo, director Hwang Dong-hyuk also specifically mentioned the guest appearances of the two heavyweight stars Kong Liu and Lee Byung Heon in the play. He explained that he and Kong Liu have always had a good relationship in private, and he made a cameo appearance. The request was immediately answered, and Li Bingxian kept in touch with the movie “Namhansanseong” in 2017, and he happily accepted the role of the host in the play.
In addition, Huang Dong Hyuk also mentioned that Kong Liu’s suitable role was decided after thinking about him as the “beginning” and “end”. He also pointed out that under the staff hierarchy, he can go out to recruit contestants. Kong Liu has received enough training and guidance in the role setting, and this actually has a lot of room for play in the plot. After all, the policeman played by Wei Hejun is not a small highlight in this drama.
Finally, when talking about the plan for the second season in the interview, Huang Donghe frankly said that shooting the first season has already exhausted him physically and mentally. However, considering the global popularity of “Squid Game”, he will discuss the first season with Netfliex. The possibility of the second season does not rule out the filming of the film.
