Did Netflix Screw Up the Squid Game English Subtitles and Dubbing?
Can we get a do-over?
I just finished Squid Game season one last week. I am behind compared to most people living in the Philippines, because even my daughter watched it before me.
While you are trying to decide if I am a terrible father for allowing my 9-year-old to watch such a violent show just know that I am unconventional, and I felt the watching of a great story by a great writer was more important than a little fake blood.
I knew I was right about it because the story totally drew my daughter in, to the point she was sobbing at the end of the marble games episode (no spoilers people!)
I actually saw the end before I saw the rest and it kind of ruined the twist for me, but I watched anyway after I heard the story of how Squid Game even became to be made.
“…fans are lucky the show saw the light of day as creator Hwang Dong-hyuk says it took him a whopping 10 years just to get the thing made. Speaking to The Korea Times, Hwang revealed that he actually came up with the idea for the series in 2008.”
As a writer, I admire that kind of patience and stubbornness to see your story be made into something you knew would be a sensation.
