Squid game served in new plate

What is happening with stories this day?
After time travel, we got a psychological thriller served on an old plate.
The first point about the plot is it is extremely predictable. Right from that point losers from all corners came around and agreed to start living in a place that would pay them off if they fulfilled their condition reminded me of the uniformed gunmen. Then as episodes grew, similarities gained more attention than dissimilarities. Nothing was out of the box...

After surviving all the controversies in his love life, Ryu Jun Yeol is back on screen. He is debt-ridden Ji Soo who dreams of becoming rich after surviving third place. Se Ra, Philip, Kin Yang, and others joining in the journey did their best but the story disappointed. Woo Hee, and Jeong Min as subordinates in this thriller piece stood out in their shoes. But what can characters do when it is the story that betrays them from the beginning,
Writers are sadly concocting stories that we have already seen in a different light. The plot seemingly borrowed from The Squid Game often tires out. However, if you are a big fan of thrillers, then this story can be your weekend time pass. Watch the journey of eight strangers living in a house together till the second installment of Squid Game comes over.
