Welcome to Storyflix. In this video, we will explain the first part of Squid Game.
Squid Game is a Netflix original series about people who have all struggled financially in life.
They were then invited to play a mysterious survival competition with deadly twists.
How terrible is this bloody game? Let's find out in Squid Game, Part 1. Squid Game begins
with a man named Gi Hoon, whose life is quite sad. After being fired from his job, he now only works
odd jobs. Gi Hoon lives with his mother after officially divorcing his wife, who has remarried
another man and brought their daughter with them. However, he still tries to be a good father to
his daughter and always makes her happy. Gi Hoon intends to buy an expensive birthday present for
his daughter. He even dared to steal his mother's money and use it to gamble on the racetrack.
Luck seems to be on his side. He managed to win the bet and doubled his money. Gi Hoon then calls
his daughter with a happy face, telling her that he will come with an expensive birthday present
tonight. But his excitement doesn't last long. He instead meets the henchmen of the loan sharks who
want to collect his debt from him. Gi Hoon rushes to escape as fast as he can and accidentally bumps
into a woman. After a long escape, the debt collectors managed to catch and corner him.
He promises to pay off his debts soon and intends to pay half his debt using his money.
He then reached into his jacket pocket, intending to take the money. But how surprised he was
because the money was not there. Turns out, the woman who hit him had stolen all of his money.
Gi Hoon was then beaten. The debt collector gives him another chance to pay off his debts. But he
must sign a letter of agreement which states that he must be willing to give up his kidney if he
fails to pay off the debt within the specified time limit. Gi Hoon had no other choice. He then
agreed to the agreement by fingerprinting using blood flowing from his nose. After all the bad
luck that happened to him, Gi Hoon feels even more guilty for failing to make her daughter happy on
her birthday. He couldn't buy a nice birthday present and treat her to a good meal. Gi Hoon
feels he has failed to be a good father. Now he can only lament his fate with the possibility of
being hated by his daughter forever and entangled in debt that he will not be able to pay for the
rest of his life. However, Gi Hoon gets a glimmer of hope when a handsomely dressed man approaches
him while waiting for a train at the station. The man said he could get a fantastic amount of money
and pay off his debts if he was willing to join a game. The mysterious man then gave a phone number
and asked Gi Hoon to call the number listed there. That same night, Gi Hoon tries to call the phone
number given by the mysterious man at the station and decides to join the game. He was waiting for a
pickup truck on the side of the road. Not long after, the car arrived. Gi Hoon gets into the
car and sees everyone in the passenger seat sleeping. It turned out that they were being
sedated to keep the location of the game secret. And not long after, Gi Hoon was then drugged,
and all his belongings were also confiscated. Gi Hoon wakes up on a bed in a large room. The other
participants then woke up after hearing the loud sound of classical music. He notices that all the
participants are wearing the same clothes with different numbers. There are 456 participants.
Hewas the last participant to join. Elsewhere, the organizers of the game were seen wearing red
costumes and masks. They observed the participants from a computer screen led by a masked person
wearing a brown outfit named Frontman. Gi Hoon was joined by other participants, including;
Sang Woo, his childhood friend who stumbles upon a money laundering case. A grandfather named Il Nam,
who is sickly. There is also a foreign worker from Pakistan named Ali and a gang member
named Deok Su. In addition, Gi Hoon meets a woman who claims to be a single mother named Min Ryong
and a woman from North Korea, Sa Byeok, who stole his money while running away from debt collectors.
However, when Gi Hoon was venting his anger on Sa Byeok, suddenly the door opened and masked staff
wearing red costumes entered the room. One of the staff then announced that the players would
be participating in six games over the next six days, and the winners of these games would get a
fantastic amount of cash prizes. The staff then asked all participants who would participate in
the game to sign a letter of agreement containing three articles. First, players must not stop
playing. Second, players who refuse to play will be eliminated. Third, the game can be stopped if
the majority agrees. Gi Hoon looked confused before affixing his signature on the paper.
But then he saw the grandfather who seemed to have made up his mind to follow the game, and he signed
the agreement. After confirming their agreement to participate in the game, the participants were
directed to a pink room with unique decorations. They were then asked to stand facing the wall one
by one to be photographed. Later these photos will be displayed on the screen as the game progresses.
After finishing, the participants were then asked to climb the stairs to the first game's location.
Arriving at the location of the game, the participants were still wondering where they were.
Then came an announcement explaining the rules of the first game. The first game is a green
light red light game. The rule is that if the big robot at the end of the field faces a tree
and says the green light, then the players must run until they reach the finish line
at the end of the field. On the other hand, if the robot turns towards them and says red light,
all participants must stop and not move an inch or be eliminated immediately. It looks simple enough,
but the reality is far more terrifying. Because what is meant by elimination in this game is that
participants who move not according to the rules will be immediately shot dead. All participants
panicked and ran towards the gate. But they were immediately fired upon from various directions,
and the number of players was reduced very rapidly. The game was finally continued with the
remaining players who were still alive. Gi Hoon and the others struggle to keep up with the game,
although all around them, the corpses of the other eliminated participants are littered.
The participants who managed to reach the finish line before the time ran out were declared to have
passed and were entitled to participate in the next game. Il Nam looks happy that he made it to
the finish line. Deok Su and Sa Byeok also managed to cross the finish line, followed by Sang Woo. Gi
Hoon is still left behind on the playing field. And when there were only twenty seconds
left. Gi Hoon almost fell when suddenly the robot said a red light and started to turn around.
Luckily, Ali saved him, and they both made it to the finish line on time. The participants
who were still in the arena when the time was up were immediately eliminated and shot to
death. After the first game round was over, the participants were directed back to the big room.
Of the 456 participants, now only 201 were left. Seeing the terrible incident that happened to
the other participants, all the players who were still surviving became panicked and frightened.
They then agreed to vote to stop the game. Prior to voting, the committee informed that the prize
for the winner who made it to the last round had already reached more than 25 billion won, and if
they decided to quit the game, the participants would not get a penny. The participants looked
worried. On the one hand, they are very tempted by the cash prizes insight. But on the other hand,
their own lives are at stake. Voting is still going on. The participants who still want to
play and who insist on ending the game are the same number. Until finally, it was Il Nam's turn
to be the last to vote. The grandfather turned out to support those who wanted to stop the game, and
according to the rules, the game could be stopped if the majority agreed. After the voting was over,
all participants were finally sent back to their respective regions. The next day, Gi Hoon reports
the cruel game syndicate that has killed many people to the police station. He describes the
incidents he experienced, from the drug syndicate administered to how the participants were
eliminated by being shot to death. But the police think that Gi Hoon is just making up stories.
Annoyed that he was considered a liar, he handed them the card the man gave him the other day.
He asks the police to call the number listed there. After the police called the number,
it turned out that the number belonged to an ordinary woman. Gi Hoon was finally expelled
from the police station because all his words could not be proven. After Gi Hoon left,
a policeman named Joon Ho just arrived at the police station. The policeman seemed interested
in the name card that Gi Hoon brought and asked the man's identity to the police.
Joon Ho seems to know something about the ruthless gaming syndicate because his long-lost brother
also has the same ticket as Gi Hoon. Joon Ho assumes that his brother is in the same location.
Elsewhere, Gi Hoon is very worried when he doesn't find his mother at home. He finally gets the news
that his mother is being treated at the hospital. The doctor who treated his mother told him that
his mother had been suffering from acute diabetes for a long time and needed surgery immediately.
But her mother decided to go home because she couldn't afford to pay for the treatment at the
hospital. His mother's words suddenly make him sad and disappointed in himself. Gi Hoon then tries
to borrow money from his ex-wife to pay for his mother's medical expenses. But when he got there,
he got insulted and cursed by his ex-wife's husband. The man kicked him out of his house,
even forbidding him to meet his daughter. Gi Hoon is instantly furious and beats the man.
But his daughter saw the incident, and Gi Hoon immediately left. Finally, Gi Hoon realizes
that he is on the brink, as the organizers say in the game. He has to face the harsh reality;
he is threatened with losing his daughter and his mother, who is now suffering from a serious
illness. On top of that, he still has to deal with his debts. Gi Hoon and the other participants
also faced the same harsh reality; mired in accumulated debt and trapped in a situation
on the brink. After thinking it over carefully, they finally decided to return to the game.
That night, they waited at a designated place and were picked up by car like when they first joined
the game. But this time, the participants were more prepared because they already knew a little
about what would happen next. On the other hand, Joon Ho secretly tails one of the cars and sneaks
into it. He was desperate to enter the location of the game to find the whereabouts of his brother.
Joon Ho manages to incapacitate a committee, then disguises himself as one of the organizers in the
game wearing a mask. The committee then gathered all the participants in a room and changed their
clothes. Unbeknownst to the committee, it turned out that several players had prepared themselves
by smuggling sharp weapons and small items that might be used in the game. Of the previous 201
participants, only 187 people decided to enter the game again. And the total prize money earned was
even more increased. At the same time, Joon Ho, who looks confused, tries to carry out his role
as a game committee. After that, Min Ryong, who was in the toilet, was surprised by the appearance
of Sa Byeok, who intended to infiltrate the air vent to investigate what the committee was doing
in another room. Sa Byeok, who peeked through the air vent, saw the organizers were making a lot of
cotton candy. Sa Byeok is still thinking about what game uses a large amount of cotton candy.
But a committee member suddenly came, and Sa Byeok rushed out of the ventilation hole so
she wouldn't be caught peeking. The next day, the participants were directed to the game arena. Sang
Woo had time to ask Sa Byeok about what she saw in the other room last night. He thought that the
game this time was also a childhood game like the first game. Sa Byeok said she saw the organizers
make a large amount of cotton candy. Sang Woo's estimate was right. The man then recalled his
childhood game about scraping the shapes printed on the cotton candy chips. He then takes the form
of a triangle because it is the easiest shape to scrape. But he doesn't tell his other friends
about it and lets them take a difficult form. Gi Hoon gets an umbrella shape, and Il Nam gets
a star shape. The participants have ten minutes in the game this time. Participants who fail to
scrape the pattern from the slabs of cotton candy will be immediately eliminated by being shot at by
the committee on the spot. Suddenly this makes the players panic and fear. They were also very
careful to scrape the shape of the slab of sugar so that it would not be crushed and eliminated.
Min Ryong, who managed to smuggle the match, secretly heats the tip of the needle so that
the cotton candy melts quickly, so it's easier to scrape the pattern inside. The players who took on
easy shapes such as triangles and circles managed to scrape it off and completed the game, including
Sang Woo, Sa Byeok and Ali. At the same time, Joon Ho is suspicious because he looks confused
about carrying out his duties. There are only three minutes left as Gi Hoon and the others are
still trying to scrape the shape in their slabs of cotton candy as they get tough shapes. Sweat
was pouring from Gi Hoon's head because there was little time left. Drops of sweat that fell on his
cotton candy got him a brilliant idea. He finally realized that the pattern was already printed on
the back of the cotton candy, and they just needed to lick it off. Gi Hoon started licking his candy
quickly so he could finish the game on time. Il Nam and the other participants who noticed Gi
Hoon's trick began to follow what he was doing. Gi Hoon and several other participants managed
to finish the second round of the game and were entitled to advance to the next stage. However,
one participant failed and tried to fight a committee member by sticking his needle into the
committee's mask. The match even made the other committees execute players who had not finished
the game so that no more participants took up the fight. The contestant who fought earlier managed
to grab the committee's rifle then pointed a gun at him. He then told him to take off his mask.
The committee then took off his mask, and another committee executed the player. But then, Frontman
entered the game arena and immediately shot the committee, who took off his mask. Apparently, the
organizers also have to follow the rules of the game organizers, which prohibit them from taking
off their masks or revealing their identities in the game arena. The organizers are only allowed to
take off their masks in their respective rooms because confidentiality is highly respected in
this game. The Squid Game Part one ends. There's still a big question about the mastermind behind
this cruel game and what happens to Gi Hoon and the others in the next round. Of course,
the most curious thing is who will win the game and manage to get billions of won in prize money.
