Squid Game (sketchy review)

I've been watching Squid Game these past days and I must confess that the movie is quite intriguing. It kept me drooling  for more drama until the very last minute of the final episode. 

Squid Game is nothing short of the reality that we live in. Where the elites pitch us against ourselves and watch in amusement as we ravage each other and the depiction of survival of the fittest (the human animalistic instinct to do whatever it takes to survive).

"The series revolves around a contest in which 456 players, all drawn from different walks of life but each deeply in debt, play a series of children's games with deadly penalties if they lose for the chance to win a ₩45.6 billion prize."

In this dreadful game, everyone dies and the last Man standing takes it all. 

Original movie language: Korean 
You can either download the movie and subtitle file or download *XPlayer to watch it in English Language. 

Number of seasons: 1 (9 episodes) 

If you've seen the series already, what's your take on it?

Sapa!

"I once loved a lady and she broke my heart into pieces, now each piece is loving different ladies" were the exact words Seun Rhema told Judith the day she caught him cheating on her again.  She was hurt and awe-stricken by his audacity to look her straight in the eyes and tell her trash. If she's were not pregnant, I'm sure that she would have picked up her lugage and left his house. That evening her stupid military boyfriend left her all alone because he couldn't handle her nagging and went to the Officers Mess to chill. Judith couldn't sleep as she reminisced over the good times they once had and the red flags she foolishly ignored because she was so damn in love with him and how she got pregnant.  Despite being a serial cheat, she prefered Seun Rhema to me but we remained very close friends.  She called me crying and asking for what to do next. My only regret was that I told Judith to pin the pregnancy on Seun Rhema because I didn't want hi...

𝙔𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙊𝙠𝙖𝙛𝙤𝙧'𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙬 excerpt from "𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒆'𝒔 𝑨𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒊" an unpublished novel by Samuel Thomas Jr. As soon as he subtly touched her, her body and hormones betrayed her. Passionate kisses and caresses ignited the wild fire of  adultery.  "I still love you Omawumi. Nothing has changed." Charles whispered into her ears and planted a kiss on her forehead. This made her feel special and loved again.  They both knew what they were doing was wrong. She wanted to stop, he wanted to stop too, but they were enthralled. Before they knew it, they were panting and engrossed in hot steamy sex. Apparently, she would have quickly headed home to her husband as soon as she could but Charlie's warmth embrace made her linger for some more. It's obvious that she'd rather stay were she's loved and revered than head home to toxicity.   She laid beside him and robbing his chest affectionately, his heartbeat g...
