Squid Game costumes are now available. Get them here!
Squid Game. Somehow or other, you would have encountered this trending term for at least a couple of weeks. Since the Korean drama thriller’s 17 September launch, the Internet has been ablaze with Squid Game news. Popular across the globe, including UK, Qatar, Oman, Bolivia and the US, and set to surpass the performance of Bridgerton, Money Heist and Sex Education, Squid Game is primed to be the most-watched original series on Netflix. As expected, TikTok is fast to catch on with memes about recreating the Squid Game looks. There’s even a Facebook game for you to find out which character you are. For the uninitiated, here’s a summary of the series. No worries, no spoilers allowed!
TL;DR: Hundreds of debt-ridden people find hope in winning an insane amount of cash – 45.6 billion won to be exact (approximately US$38,460,271.20) – as the winner in a series of games. The twist, my friend, comes in how these popular childhood games are played in the most cruel and bloody manner. Besides the intriguing premise, the candy-coloured and larger-than-life sets and costumes were also the talk of the town. The pacing of the show draws the viewer in episode by episode. Not to mention, the universal themes of capitalism, gender inequality, injustice and more are relevant as ever. I secretly wish for a Squid Game wonderland park in the near future.
Whether you have already binge-watched the series or refuse to partake in the gory scenes, Squid Game is fodder for watercooler chat (now that we are all working from home, probably Slack or WhatsApp chats). While we plan for a much cosier Halloween party in three weeks on 31 October, now's a good time to start brainstorming and purchasing your costume if you do not wish to be bogged down by shipping and logistics issues. And what better costumes than the current trending drama Squid Game?
