Squid game is shiny new. Kinda. As per usual, I’m a bit tardy to the party. Released in September 2021, Squid Game is totally binge-able. Its only a 9 part series and 1 season long, so you have about roughly 8 hours of content to consume. So it’s all in a days work right? With Squid Game being such a worldwide phenomenon, we’re going to get into the shows depictions of human nature, violence for monetary gain and desperation vs. addiction. And of course, we’re going to get into some Korean cultural nuances you might have missed if you’re either not familiar with Korean culture or you watched the dubbed version witch has some notable differences.
Today We Will Discuss:
- The Sub VS. Dub Debate
- Breaking Down GiHun's Gambling Addiction Behavior & The Irony of Gambling being "Illegal" in Korea.
- Exploitation of Migrant Workers & Misinterpretations of Colorism considering Ali’s Character
- Korean Language Honorific Nuances
- The Difficulty of Translation Work considering Cultural Nuances when they are Conceptual and not Rooted in Actual Vocabulary
