Dorama

Not rare, as there are several dramas adapted to American series. The Good Doctor was adapted into American drama of the same title. Better Late Than Never was the American remake of Grandpas Over Flowers, and The Company You Keep is also an American remake of My Fellow Citizens! And the movie The Lake is the remake of the movie Il Mare.
and there's more.

you're saying he donated, when it was their money. It was their prize money, alive or not it should go to their family. He didn't donate it.

Donating money. That's the prize money of 222 and the money he gave to Gi Hun's daughter was the prize money of 456 from s1, the money that Mr Choi tried to get but was too late as the money was gone.

If you are expecting that her power will return, and she will have some badass fighting scenes, you'll be disappointed. She did regain some of her power, but not FULL.
She, as the badass Naksu, didn't return. I don't want to spoil you of the rest, but it's a nice watch.

Famous for people born before the 2000s? Maybe, so that explains why the director of SG took inspiration from it.

I enjoyed the manga and anime and also SG.

sorry I posted on the wrong HL, this is the movie, I was referring to Hidden Love for You the mini series/short drama version.

aw yes, I commented on the wrong HL. I was referring to HLFY,my bad.
I'll delete it and post it there. Thanks.

go AG💜

yes they survived🤩

She died on June 20, 2025. The news of her passing was released Jul.1 thru her soc med account.

RIP

I get your point.
When SG first came out, I also commented on the similarities it has with Kaiji and Tomodachi Game and received harsh attacks. I guess I went to the wrong platform, because on Reddit, there was a heavy discussion.

and in the end Squid Game is not just capitalism but also nepotism. Detective Hwang is a nepo baby..he got that much money without breaking a sweat 🤣

Season 1 is a complete work. It was not intended for multiple seasons, which explains the tight storytelling and well-executed plot. It's a result of work in progress since 2008. The story was well thought out, so there's no way 2 and 3 will surpass it.

But due to its success, Netflix decided to make another season, so we got 2 and 3. It's all about money.

Hahaha same.

They'll just relocate. they just blast the place but the people are still alive so the game will continue. Look at those VIPs,they find joy and entertainment with people killing each other so they don't mind throwing away money.

Well, Detective Hwang sucks, but to be fair with him, since day 1 Capt. Park was beside him, confusing and misguiding him, so there was no way he could find the island by himself. It's really thanks to Mr. Choi-who in just one day uncovered the real identity of Capt. Park and with that Detective Useles-- Hwang was able to save 246.

The director said SG was inspired by various sources, manga Kaiji included.

With many written works and many heads, it's not uncommon that there are similarities with different works.

Isn't inspiration the right term to use as he didn't copy the whole work? When does inspiration crossover to plagiarism?

I also disagree with that comment, but please do not lash out at Kaiji. Kaiji manga is famous internationally but the anime was so underrated.

Yes, really horrible. His 333 character surpassed his psychopathic character in Unlocked and Strangers from Hell.
