This must come as no surprise to everyone who has heard about the show from possibly every social media platform out there.

A decade in the making, "Squid Game" is about 456 people who are invited to play a mysterious game.

The game turns out to be a terrifying fight for survival as the players have to play traditional children's games with deadly twists, all for a cash prize of 45.6 billion won (nearly P2 billion).

It quickly gained popularity, propelling the actors to fame, and even spurring viewers' interest in learning Korean.

All nine episodes of “Squid Game” are up for streaming on Netflix. —JCB, GMA News
