It was a good decision for Netflix to get out of Hollywood and collaborate with various producers around the world

I liked how he answered in Korean but answered the dub/sub question in English. It's like, hey I know you dont like reading so I'm gonna tell you in English so you can hear it straight from my mouth: Watch in Sub.

Director Bong Joon Ho, Winner of Best Director of Parasite, Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay said
“Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films”

[ladybirdlee]

I honestly believe this man is a genius. I can't wait to watch his other projects.

[BallyBoy]

He's right, subtitles is easily better than the dubbed version, not because dubbed versions are necessarily bad. However, in this show, the dubbed voice acting is quite jarring and breaks the immersion.

[GNIE]

Watch it in Korean. You will feel the actors emotions.

Director Hwang Dong-hyuk graduated from Seoul National University and grew up in Ssangmun-dong, Seoul. He is as smart as his character, Jo Sang-woo, in the play, but not as evil.

I love the question of caption vs dubbed!! I am not Korean but caption always!! You get the raw emotion and intensity of what the actors are saying/doing

[MatsumotoKoshirō]

This South Korean thriller was watched by 110 million households in 17 days
It is the most watched TV show of all time on Netflix.. I saw an article that there are 100 million fans of Korean culture around the world. Before Netflix, there were already fans of Korean dramas in various countries around the world. Squid Game is a work that not only Korean drama fans but also non-Korean drama fans have seen.

[fordtoy]

Only Korea could do it this good. Even the tone of each episode felt like you were in the environment of the characters, from choice of colors to set design. Love the series. And Korea did what no other could do in ONE MONTH. Wow. Great job to the writer and cast and to Netflix.

[kingjet]

The squid game contains a story that people all over the world can enjoy and sympathize with
And the psychological description of the characters and the acting skills of the actors are also worth seeing

[gracey]

The director is actually quite good-looking in an intelligent-appearing way

[noms]

wow his english is wonderful, and yes please listen to him and watch only with subtitles

[hsh]

Funny part is director all of sudden speaks English like nothing 😂

[sunnyr]

There HAS to be a season 2..are you kidding me.. This show is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

[OFFICIALNADESHMENGWI]

These movie deserves an award especially the producer and the cast

[BrianHSC]

Even Avatar couldn't top Bollywood and this Korean drama unites the world audience. No Netflix in China but over 10 million illegal downloads.

Because I already saw a lot of people who like Korean dramas,
I knew that one day Korean dramas would become a global hit.
I personally recommend Korean drama "My mister" and "Chuno"

3:07 Yes, the director graduated from USC with MFA in film production. But he got his undergraduate degree from Seoul National University, the 1st ranked college in S. Korea, like Sangwoo in Squid Game. He majored in communication there. He also has some resemblance to Gihoon. He was also brought up by a single mom, lived off her in his late 30s when he went bankrupt. Many of his other films are dealing with very sensational topics with lots of criticism, often to the degree that some production companies were afraid of working with him. But his box office score had been quite good even before Squid Game. His reserved but very realistic depiction of matters sheds new light on hidden problems in our society. And the subjects are not limited to the class divide or economic problems. For example, his movie "Doghani", "Silenced" in English title, whistleblew the sexual abuse committed by a schoolmaster at a school for the disabled. Because of that movie, S. Korea even made a bill, a.k.a. "Doghani law" that specifies the punishment against sex crimes done to the disabled. (Btw, I'm S. Korean. :D )

Korean with subtitles is much better. You can clearly hear that it's more detailed and more emotionally authentic than the English dubbed version.
