Sky Squid Game: the rules of a ruthless game
Player 222, alias Jun-Hee's baby won the Squid Game after a last trying round. The latest series in the series is the Sky Squid Game, which forces players to move on three distinct towers, one in the shape of a square, one in the shape of a triangle and one in the shape of a circle. On each round, players must push at least one participant outside the structure.
For the dead to count on the second and third rounds, a player must press a button on the ground to officially launch the turn. The dead who occur outside an official lap do not count.
The complicated rules of Sky Squid Game are what finally leads to the baby's victory. Throughout the game, Gi-Hun protects the infant while several other players-including his father Myung-Gi (Yim Si-Wan)-try to kill him. “”If I had to characterize the ultimate objective of Myung-Gi, it would be to take as much money as possible '“Explains his interpreter in Tudum.”He asks too much, and it is because of his greed.“He is finally eliminated after a final fight with Gi-Hun who will have tried to save him until the end …

Sacrifice and redemption: the heartbreaking choice of Gi-Hun
Now alone with the child on the last platform, Gi-Hun has three options. He can press the button and kill the baby, which would make him a double winner of squid game, but with even more remorse as a survivor. He could do nothing and condemn himself as well as the baby by his inaction. Or he could press the button, putting an end to his own life, and allowing the baby to live – and win.
He chooses the third option. In his last moments, Gi-Hun delivered a passionate speech to the Front Man and the VIPs present. He reminds them that players are not “horses“, but “humans“.
For Lee Jung-Jae, the sacrifice of Gi-Hun was perfectly logical. The protagonist of Squid Game is a father who entered the game by being separated from his child, and according to the actor, “It's almost as if Gi-Hun looked at his own daughter“.

The cross destinies of Myung-Gi and Jun-Hee
While Gi-Hun embodies the values that Hwang Dong-Hyuk hopes that subscribers will retain Squid Game, Myung-Gi reflects him the ills of society. “”He tries to look away, favoring his own interests, his immediate financial gain and his greed. He searches for his own interests even at the detriment of the baby“Explains Hwang.
As for Jun-Hee, she gives everything for the good of her child. As she gave birth during the hide-and-seek game, she fell on a staircase and seriously injured an ankle. The young mother is not able to participate in the next game, the jump rope. Instead, Jun-Hee asks Gi-Hun to protect her baby and take the infant through the dangerous bridge, guaranteeing her life saved. It is to the former winner of the Calamar game that she chooses to entrust her child, rather than her biological father. And right.

The redemption of the front front?
Immediately after the death of Gi-Hun, a pink guard said to the front that the coast guards are approaching the island. The front bonus orders the guard to start the evacuation. Before fleeing, however, the man will see Gi-Hun's body and decides to save Jun-Hee's baby.
Lee Byung-Hun has a certain idea of what is happening in the minds of his masked character. If the fact that Front Man saves the baby is the most human decision he made in the series, some signs indicated long before that he was starting to soften.
For example, take his decision to let Jun-Hee's baby participate in the game. “It actually highlighted the fact that he still has a little humanity at the bottom of him. This is the agreement to which director Hwang and I have reached. This is how I interpreted my character“He explains to Tudum.”The Front Man still has a little benevolence in him.“”

The hidden meaning of the final scene
Six months later, when the season leaps in time, the front man visits Ga-Yeong, Gi-Hun's daughter to whom he gave the rest of the fortune and the effects of his father. As he crosses the city center of Los Angeles in Limousine, he hears a familiar sound: the sound of the tiles of Ddakji which strike the ground.
When he looks, a mysterious foreign and dressed in black suit plays the familiar game with a man obviously in distress. The man and the woman look at each other from afar. Could they have a certain joint game?
“”I thought it was an incredible end that no one could predict“Said Lee Byung-Hun.”Despite all the commendable efforts made by so many people, the world continues to function as before.“”
Cynique, did you say?
The three seasons of Squid Game are now available on Netflix.
