Squid Game is the best show I've seen in a long, long time - and a big part of that is how brilliant the script is. I think it's carefully crafted, and every decision feels impactful and meaningful. So this video is basically just a defense of the ending twist, because I think it's an extremely good one - one of the best decisions made by the author. Oh Il-Nam and the Front Man are misunderstood, and I genuinely don't understand how people think the games are fair. Even Gi-hun doesn't really believe that they are, lmao. Anyway, hope you enjoy my video essay!
