Bonjour !
I binge-watched squid game in two days, I took some notes, and here's a little video where I tried to arrange my thoughts on the show as best as I could in 10 minutes :)
Big thank you to my little sister Jude, a big k-drama fan who helped me with this one and came up with super interesting points I included in the narrative. You can find her on instagram @judeisfine, she's a nice person I promise.
