Why the most terrifying game of squid game season 2 was a nightmare behind the scenes

One of the most impressive game games of Netflix’s “squid game” is season 2 season 2, which transforms a real team consolidation exercise in a breathtaking fight for survival. The candidates are going up on a rotating platform and await that a number be announced, then enter the neighboring parts in groups the size of the order number. It’s eventful, it’s chaotic … and, thanks to the gigantic and elaborate whole, also strangely beautiful.

Some shows may have created the whole using green screens, but “Squid Game” did not play: the manufacturers of the show chose to tackle the nightmare behind the scenes of creating a practical set and filming the game on it. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, a number of key people behind the show gathered to explain what pain it was to bring together the whole (and how difficult it was).

“Everything was real and practical on this set,” said Chae Kyoung-Sun. “2,000 bulbs were used. We wanted to show this magnificent sparkling lighting … and it took about three months to build.” According to the director of photography Kim Ji-Yong, the massive and functional rotary disc and the hectic nature of the game posed a massive challenge, because the size of the whole made it impossible to take all the action. At the end of the day, the creators of the series decided to combine the hectic plans on the ground with a view of a bird that showed the situation as a whole.

“The result seems that you are looking at a microscope,” said Kim. Fortunately, the whole also contributed to the sense of the authenticity of the show, because the creator of “Squid Game” Hwang Dong-Hyuk could simply ask the actors to play the game as if it was real. “When you look at him from above, it’s weird and dysfunctional, and it looks like so many chaos,” added Kim.

“Squid Game” has presented many fatal versions of Korean game games. Overall, the matches of season 1 are quite simple. The play of red green light with the giant frightening doll has a massive number of participants, but it is only a question of not moving when the movement detection doll faces you and to cross the lens line within the time. Likewise, the Dalgona sculpture game of Sugar Sugar of bees is to find out how to cut the designated shape of a circular candy, while the war and ball tug is almost what it says on the label, and the glass springboards are a simple jump of faith above a giant pit. Even the holder of Squid, although unknown to most Western viewers, is quite simple and the spectacle explains it very in depth.

Unless we counted small -scale games that the recruiter (Gong Yoo) prepares for his personal pleasure, the matches of season 2 of “Squid Game” are surprisingly rare. Apart from the red light back, the green light, the season only offers two new games, and the two suffer from a fairly serious access to sequette … but not in a completely negative sense, considering that their swollen nature also strikes the spectator as a brick.

In an effort to present the previous contests, the six -legged pentathlon offers no less than five different games, which must be completed in groups of five people with linked legs. However, the complexity of the Mingle carousel is by far the most elaborate game that the spectacle has still introduced, with its rules, its rules, and the eventful group of nature designed to make things difficult. Seeing that the “Cammar game” has now This One, expect the game scale only when the third and last season of the show will be presented on June 27, 2025.
