Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game is a South Korean survival thriller. It focuses on a contest where 456 players, all deeply in debt, play deadly variations on several children’s games for a chance to win a huge cash prize. The series stars Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, O Yeong-su, Wi Ha-joon, Jung Ho-yeon, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam Tripathi, and Kim Joo-ryoung.
Since arriving to Netflix on September 17, Squid Game has proved a massive hit and could very well be the streaming service’s most successful original show ever. Part of the reason the show has managed to resonate so quickly with audiences comes down to its memorable iconography. Already, the Korean-language drama has made many of its moments and scenes imminently familiar. Some of those moments include treats, like Honeycomb Toffee, while others are related to the characters’ attires, like the green tracksuits that many of the protagonists wear throughout Squid Game’s nine episodes. However, a different type of suit, worn by the show’s faceless guards, looks to be equally popular.
