Let the Squid Games begin in Season 2 teaser

by tccolb

Netflix’s new teaser for Squid Game 2 is buzzing with activity as our masked worker bees are working around the clock to fire up the ovens and tuck in every bed sheet to ensure everything is perfect for the second round’s ~~pawns~~ guests.

The special guest of honor, of course, is Lee Jung-jae (Chief of Staff, The Acolyte) who opens the trailer. And given how Season 1 turned out, the understandably now-vigilant Sung Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae) anticipates danger from the knock at his door. But he’s still surprised to come face-to-mask with the elusive Front Man Lee Byung-heon (Our Blues), inviting Ki-hoon to come back to the secret lair for more playground scares.

In the sequence, the squid minions busy themselves with final checks, sweeping the yard clean before reporting to the boss that they’re ready to begin Season 2. We then cut to Ki-hoon waking up as the teaser comes to a close, finding himself in familiar surroundings and once again tagged as Player 456.

So far, the promos have focused on returning characters, which includes the dapper slapster Gong Yoo (The Silent Sea) and police detective Wie Ha-joon (The Midnight Romance in Hagwon). But we’ll also be seeing a crowd of new faces to zip up in green for the second installment, though their character details have not yet been revealed.

Lining up Im Shi-wan (Boyhood), Kang Haneul (Curtain Call), Park Sung-hoon (Queen of Tears), and Yang Dong-geun (Moving), the new cast adds Park Kyu-young (Sweet Home 2), Jo Yu-ri (Work Later Drink Now 2), and Kang Ae-shim (Frankly Speaking) as well.

The very large ensemble also has Lee David (Law School), Lee Jin-wook (Dear Hyeri), TOP (a.k.a. Choi Seung-hyun) (IRIS), and Noh Jae-won (Uncle Samsik), in addition to Won Ji-ahn (Heartbeat) and Jeon Suk-ho (Love Next Door).

Coming to our screens on December 26, production for Netflix’s Squid Game 2 continues with filmmaker Hwang Dong-hyuk (The Fortress) handling both directing and scripts.

Honestly, I might watch it 1) for the cast and 2) because it's the only kdrama that people I know in real life will actually watch...

For me, the show ruined itself by giving up on the message of the story just to make a "to be continued" kinda of ending. So even if I liked season 1 (most of it), I don't see the point of a meaningless season two.

Maybe with different characters (a new story), it would've worked for me.

For one who enjoyed the original, I don't know how it can be any different, unique or more compelling than the original. That is the basic problem with sequels. I get the sense that this is a prison riot movie than the original cruel game of greed.

I'm most curious about the actual games. I wonder what new games or variations of the old games they will do.

Will there be clues on the walls again?

How does he get the same number? Haha
It's a dumb thing to be curious about and I know it's probably because the actor & character are associated with that number but in universe, shouldn't he be the new #1 since he's the former winner?

Ahh, maybe the new #456 gets taken out somehow and he replaced them. It will be funny to me if he just sees someone else with the number and just asks to switch haha

I plan to watch. I enjoyed season 1. Its rare for a drama/movie from any country to capture so much attention and influence that you see squid game dolls being sold in suburban malls in the USA! I really hope that 2 is good, and I'm willing to bet it will be. If it's good, I bet we are looking at many shows/spin offs in the future. Maybe Squid Games in other countries....who knows!
