“Unraveling the Secrets: How ‘Squid Game’Masterfully Plays with Your Mind and Keeps You on the Edge of Your Seat”
Squid Game uses cliffhangers not only to keep the audience hooked but also to subvert expectations. The necessity of watching the next episode to see how the game introduced earlier unfolds or to see how Gi-hun’s plan will either succeed or fail feels inevitable. Perhaps that’s why the series was able to rack up an astonishing 68 million views within its first four days of release.
Originally written to act as a midpoint in the extended narrative planned for Seasons 2 and 3, the confrontation between the Front Man and Gi-hun and the discovery of a mole in Jun-ho’s rescue team puts our heroes in a precarious situation. Gi-hun is captured and taken off-screen, and then… credits roll. Viewers are left satisfied with this conclusion yet deeply frustrated by the unresolved tension.
