The South Korean survival drama made history as Netflix's biggest ever series launch, after reaching 111 million viewers in the first 28 days of its release.
It beats the previous record-holder Bridgerton, which gained 82 million views from Netflix users over the same time period after its release.
At the finale of season one, we see a withdrawn Gi-hun, traumatised from the competition and uninterested in spending any of his money.
However, after discovering that Oh Il-nam was actually the mastermind behind the games rather than a real participant, he fulfils promises made to Sae-byeok and arranges for her brother to be cared for by Sang-woo's mother.
Our protagonist then witnesses one of the game's recruiters attempting to ensnare potential participants at the train station. He snatches the card out of the player's card and heads to the airport to visit his daughter in the US. Before boarding, he calls the number, and is told to get on the plane. Instead, he abandons his travel plans and seems intent on putting an end to the games for good.Explore more on these topics:
