So, you've made it to the end of Squid Game,
you've survived all six games,
you've gasped through the twists and turns
and cried a small ocean's worth of tears
watching two friends play a game of marbles.
We made a pinkie promise to be each other's gganbu.
If you know, you know.
And now you're looking for more:
more thrillers that pitch players
in battles to the death,
more dramas about desperate struggles,
or maybe just more film and TV from Korea.
Whatever your wants, Netflix has you covered.
If Squid Game has you hooked on sinister games
then Alice in Borderland will scratch that itch.
In this hit Japanese thriller,
Tokyo is transformed into a ghost town
as three heroes are pulled into a violent game show
where they complete tasks to earn more time
to explore and escape the city.
And if time runs out…
Let's just say, don't let time run out.
Based on the Haro Aso manga,
Alice in Borderland shares Squid Game's sense of style,
and offers deadly takes on playground favourites
like Tag or Hide and Seek.
Can gaming-obsessed slacker Ryohei Arisu
get his friends safely through the challenges?
Find out only on Netflix.
Brazilian thriller 3% may unfold
on the other side of the Earth to Squid Game,
but it offers an equally thrilling take
on life-or-death competition.
In a bleak future society,
citizens are trapped in poverty
unless they win a place
in an affluent island paradise.
When residents hit 20 years of age,
they take part in "The Process,"
a series of tests designed
to whittle the group down to the three percent
who get a ticket to the chosen land.
It's a complex look at the inequality
that drives violent competition
between good people,
while also delivering tense thrills
as the cast tackle the challenges.
Over 33 episodes, a fitting number,
3% will get under your skin and stay there.
Like Squid Game, Sweet Home hails from South Korea,
but this gruesome horror has a slightly different energy.
Fragile teen Cha Hyun Soo
moves into a dilapidated apartment block
to escape a family tragedy
and is met by unsympathetic neighbours.
Don't die here.
You'll just cause trouble for a lot of people here.
Won't be bothering her for a cup of sugar.
But grumpy residents are the least of his worries.
The security guard's in a trance,
there are bloody trails in the corridors
and nosebleeds breaking out across the building.
Oh, and an army of demons banging on the front door.
Watching its cast come together
to fight the apocalypse will warm your heart,
when the monsters aren't trying to eat it, of course.
Where Squid Game has a pig full of money,
Okja is about a pig worth a lot of money.
Meet Okja,
a genetically-modified super-hog
bred by Tilda Swinton
as part of her plan to bring home the bacon
in more ways than one.
Raised by a girl in South Korea,
Okja grows big enough to draw the attention
of her corporate creators.
Enter Jake Gyllenhaal,
in one of his wildest performances to date…
Dr Johnny's…
Magical Animals!
…as he takes the plus-sized porker to New York,
setting the little girl on a quest to save her piggy pal.
From the mind of Bong Joon-ho,
the director of Parasite,
the first foreign-language film
to win Best Picture at the Oscars,
Okja is a romp full of laughs, shocks,
and many shots of Gyllenhaal in terrible shorts.
Are you ready?
Yes, we are, Jake.
Like Squid Game,
Extracurricular is another show
looking at the extreme lengths
people will go to for a paycheque.
Oh Ji-soo is a brainy but bashful student.
Think straight A grades
and a crush on a girl with slow-motion hair.
But he lives a double life,
running security service for illegal female escorts.
Operating as the mysterious "Uncle,"
he protects the girls from violent clients
and takes a cut of their earnings.
But when his crush takes an interest in his side hustle,
can Ji-soo balance
his high-stakes business with his student life?
Extracurricular is like Breaking Bad
for the sex trade,
minus the hazmat suits, obviously.
You'll be hooked after just one episode.
Psychokinesis is a superhero film with a twist.
When a crooked security guard drinks infected water,
he gains superpowers,
but can he be bothered to use them for good?
Great power comes with little responsibility.
Well, until bullying businessmen come
for his estranged daughter's fried chicken shop.
Time for some finger-licking justice.
From the director of Train to Busan,
Psychokinesis delivers all
the wham-bam action of a comic book romp,
but with a nod to Korea's struggling underdogs.
If you enjoyed Gi-Hun's Squid Game journey
from selfish gambler to do-gooder,
then Psychokinesis is another one
to add to your watchlist.
The Uncanny Counter shares Squid Game's
love of a red tracksuit,
although, here, the outfits are worn by the good guys,
a team of superpowered Counters
who protect the Earth from evil souls
escaping from the afterlife.
When they aren't thrashing demons,
the Counters hide their identity
by running a noodle restaurant.
So, do not forget to tip your waiter.
Into their world wanders So Mun,
who becomes the unlikely host of the soul
of a recently killed Counter.
Can So Mun win over his fellow heroes?
Will demonic forces conquer the Earth?
And how is he going to get that birthday cake
out of his hair?
Expect answers to all this and more
in The Uncanny Counter.
Time to Hunt is an action-packed thriller
starring Squid Game's Park Hae Soo
as a cold-blooded killer.
Having wowed us as Choo Sang-Woo in Squid Game,
he plays a very different kind of bad guy here,
a professional hit man hired to hunt down three friends
who robbed from the wrong casino.
Wave goodbye to Squid Game's sly, white-collar criminal
and say hello to a human terminator
who could give John Wick a run for his money.
We knew he was bad news
the moment we saw his ear collection.
Never a good sign, is it?
The way Time to Hunt
flips from heist thriller to chase film
makes it a brilliantly tense way
to spend a couple of hours.
Interested in checking out more Korean cinema,
then why not try The Drug King?
Set in the 1970s,
it tells the true story of Lee Doo-sam,
a drug smuggler who climbs the ranks
of the criminal underworld.
Think of it as a Korean Scarface,
only with lovable superstar Song Kang-ho
instead of shouty Al Pacino.
Song's natural charisma is put to excellent use
as Doo-sam charms his way
across international borders.
He even convinces his very own Walter White
to work in a pig farm.
Good people skills.
Of course, if you've seen any gangster epic,
you'll know that what goes up must come down.
As police close in
and Doo-sam gets hooked on his own product,
can he escape the chaos?
Check out The Drug King to find out.
If you thought the players in Squid Game had it bad,
wait until you meet the unlucky contestants
in The Platform.
In this Netflix Original movie,
people live in a towering structure
where food is transported down
from the top to the bottom.
The catch?
It's one meal to feed the entire lot of them.
So the more that people eat on the levels above,
the less there is for the people below.
And there are many people below.
To give any more away about this dystopian sci-fi horror
would spoil one of 2020's most devious thrillers.
You'll never look at leftover food
the same way again,
so probably not one to watch during dinner.
If you like Squid Game,
those are just a few of the incredible shows and films
available on Netflix that we'd suggest watching.
We'd love to hear your recommendations
