Squid Game - Behind-the-Scenes On Set

Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits — with deadly high stakes.

as someone who hates blood and had to cover her eyes during the games, this is such a relief to watch, it makes it less scary and kinda funny how the gunshots are just people yelling “bang”

Them screaming "Bang" at the dalgona game had me on the floor. Must be so effective because the actors never know when they are going to scream, so the jumpscares are probably real ahahah.

You gotta hand it to the extras as well.. they also did a good job with the acting
A truly spectacular series

2:08 I know that woman is just an extra but I think she just did it so well I cant help but praise it

[alisonr]

Such a shame we wont see many of these characters again, invested so much emotion with them. I wonder where it goes from here ?

[nuzhattanzimkhan]

Why was this so much fun to watch, it's not even the actual show

[AlexiaBalcazar]

I love that now more people are realizing that Korea has incredible productions

[siiiiiuu]

The amount of brainpower, time, physical work, and emotional energy that went into creating this... I hope Netflix is paying them all what they deserve. A billion dollars earned from one show on a streaming platform... it's insane. Bravo to every single person and particularly, the director/writer who gave us this gem of a series

The woman at 2:15 made me remember how good the extras all were. Basically all of the extras had to be pretty decent actors cus they were all constantly terrified.

[arigrandent]

I'm going to be honest, I didn't have high expectations for this series but seeing that everyone spoke wonders of it and even recommended it, I dared to watch it; And believe me it was the best thing I did, I literally watched the entire series in just ONE DAY; I am not one of those who like to watch series because they tend to bore me but it did not happen in this case, its plot, suspense totally enveloped me. I dare say that it is the best series Netflix has ever released. Let's hope the second season of "Squid Game" comes out.

This helped me to realize that characters weren't real people, they didn't die and they had fun there. Thanks, because the movie itself hits really hard.

[anonnnymousthegreat]

I would be so concentrated acting in the scene and the director screaming “bang!” randomly would scare me for real. Because it would happen when I least expect it. Lol.

[elhopper]

Still emotionally wrecked over Sae-byeok’s fate. She didn’t deserve that awful ending😢

[Sicaro_]

5:41 Gi-hun and Sangwoo have suddenly switched personalities😂

[bun]

Really cool to see Hwang Dong-hyuk work with the actors. He has such a clear idea of what he wants for every shot. End product was amazing.

[IbokRock]

Of course, I can tell they're just actors acting...but I see Il-Nam and I still believe that he's actually Il-Nam in real life 😂 I can't think of him as just an actor!

[janewatkins]

Man that tug of war scene took a lot out of them! Translated so well on screen. You can see the exhaustion and stress especially when he was dangling.

[kt-ncuw]

This is why the arts are important! What an amazing display of the acting, the direction, the process, the people it takes, and the professionalism needed to produce something so masterful. It's incredible to see the actors and their process through shooting.

[aninjaguardian]

The slow motion glass explosion shot was amazing. I knew that had to be pretty complex from a technical standpoint and seeing the behind the scenes confirms just how intricate that scene was

[ameliarose]

Seeing the tug of war scene broke my heart bc you never see Deoksu and it's because the actor is literally throwing up between takes. Poor man, so much respect for him for doing what he did for this role.
