Warning: This article contains spoilers.

Millions of fans offer a goodbye to the Squid game, the Emmy TV series that topped the Netflix plans and has become a symbol of the rise of South Korea in Hollywood.

The fictional exhibition follows players with financial hardship as they play it in a series of traditional Korean children’s games – with a wonderful development, where the losers are killed in each round.

SQUID has absorbed viewers since 2021 with its collections of sweets and dark messages about capitalism and humanity. With the release of its third and last season last Friday, fans around the world return to reality.

However, some South Koreans found themselves reflected in the community that inspired the Dysopian series.

“I feel that Squid Game 3 has revealed real feelings and raw inner ideas of the Korean people,” and read YouTube’s comment under a clip of the third season.

“This reflects the reality well like how in real life, at work, it is full of people who are ruthless to crush you. This offer allowed it.”

The squid game was born against the background of the Hanafi competition and expanding inequality in South Korean society – Where people Very certain to have children The university placement exam is considered in the name of The specific moment for a person’s life.

Various characters are extracted in the show – which include salaries, a migrant factory and an encrypted currency migrant – from numbers that many South Koreans find.

The Seong Gi-Hun, a later and striking auto worker, also inspired by a real event: a blow in 2009 at the SSANGYONG Motor Factory, where the workers clashed with the riot police on the widespread demobilization of workers. It is remembered today with the name One of the largest employment confrontations in the country.

“The drama may be fictional, but she feels more realistic than the reality itself,” wrote Jeong Schul Sang, cinema lovers, in his review of the last season of Squid Game.

“Unstable employment, youth unemployment, broken families – these are not just conspiracy devices, but the struggles we face every day.”

These dark messages appear to have been emptied to the side of Saturday night, as a huge procession celebrated the release of the final fork season. A giant deadly doll and dozens of unknown guards identity in the tracks – among other forms of deadly games – have gone in the center of Seoul to a lot of noise.

For South Korean leaders, Squid has become a symbol of the success of the K-Drama on the world stage. It is also part of a series of successes-besides the K-Pop Act BTS and the Oscar-winning BASING-which the newly-elected president Li Jay Meong wants to take advantage of his eyes on the export of K culture on a large scale.

There are signs that the noise in the squid game may go further: the last scene of the show, where Cate Blantitt plays a Korean game with a man in Los Angeles alley, feeding rumors about American separation.

“The series has ended” on a “open” note. “So he asks many questions to the public. I hope people talk about these questions, think about themselves about questions and try to find an answer.”

In subsequent show seasons, viewers follow a pursuit of Gi-Hun to drop the name of a name, which is filled as his leisure for a group of wealthy adults.

But his rebellion fails, and by the end, G -Hun is forced to sacrifice himself to save another player – an end to the polarized viewers.

Some have argued that Gi -Hun’s actions were not raised with the dark image of the reality in which the exhibitors have evolved – those that seized the harsh elements of a human nature.

“The excessive altruism of the characters was annoying – to some extent, it seems not specified,” and reads a comment on the famous Nate Pann. “It seemed to be a kind of fake kindness and performance, and give priority to strangers for their families without a real reason.”

But others said that the death of J-Hun was in line with the commitment of the offer to uncomfortable facts.

Another commented on YouTube: “This completely describes humanity and the message of show.”

“As we wanted to see Gi-Hun wins, Kill The Frontman and The Vips, and stop games once and forever before riding to the sunset, this is not the world in which we live and certainly not the world in which Gi lived.”

Huang Dong Hyuk, the creator of the exhibition, told reporters on Monday that he understood the “mixed reaction” of the last season.

“In the first season, there were no expectations, so shock and freshness succeeded. But by the second and third seasons, the expectations were high, and this made all the difference,” Hanging said on Monday.

“The game lovers wanted more games, others wanted deeper messages, and some were more invested in the characters. Everyone expected something different.”

For some, at least, the last Gi-HUN option provided an optimistic reflection of reality: even in times of adversity, kindness can prevail.

Mr. Jeong said, Film blogge. “Watching the squid game made me think of myself. As a person working in education and consulting, I wondered whether kindness could really change anything.”

“That’s why I stayed with this story. For this reason, call this end is beautiful.”
