Rule of rose endings
One that likely involves Gi-hun trying to bring down the game makers. The Squid Game ending opened the door for another season. (Image credit: Netfix) How The Squid Game Ending Sets Up Potential Future Stories In the end, the homeless man is saved because there are still many people who care about other humans. These messages come across even clearer with Gi-hun and II-nam’s bet. Gi-hun still has humanity because he mourns these people instead of relishing in his new wealth. This is why at the end, there is also no sense of victory because all these players had to die in order for one to win. This comes across when Sang-woo dies so that Gi-hun can win.

#RULE OF ROSE ENDINGS SERIES#
In an interview with The Korea Times, Hwang Dong-hyuk describes the series as a “story of losers.” He talks about how these people only succeed because of the help of others. Both these men choose to do what they see as the honorable solution. He wants to end the game, forfeit the money, allowing them both to live. Gi-hun has a similar moment of clarity when he decides to not finish the game. In that act, he chooses to sacrifice himself for another. He also makes the decision to end his life so that Sang-woo can win. Sang-woo expresses regret about all that he has done to get to this moment. The final battle between Gi-hun and Sang-woo ends in Sang-woo’s death, but despite the dark and deadly final battle, it ends on a semi-hopeful note. (Image credit: Netflix) The Squid Game Final Battle: A Win For Humanity? I wanted to write a story that was an allegory or fable about modern capitalist society, something that depicts an extreme competition, somewhat like the extreme competition of life. Hwang has spoken about Squid Game being about capitalism and the competitiveness of society, including in his interview with Netflix (opens in new tab) : He represents the 1 percent (which could be why he’s 001) that will often have an advantage that makes it easier for them to succeed, survive, and win.

This is what I believe Squid Game show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wants to show with II-nam never really being a contestant. Sometimes it feels like life has cheat codes that are only given to the wealthy.

There are more stories of the cycle of poverty continuing than there are rags to riches tales. In my opinion, people with wealth, especially those born with it, have an automatic advantage in this whole game of life.

I believe that Squid Game allows this rule break because it’s making a statement about the state of the world. If you rewatch Squid Game after learning the twist, you can see instances where II-nam wouldn’t have had the same deadly fate as the others. The games are rigged to ensure that he survives. Not only does II-nam know all the games ahead of time, but he’s in no real danger. However, by II-nam playing, it automatically sets up an unfair advantage. The people who created these games want all of the contestants to have an equal opportunity to win these games, something they don’t have in the normal world. The doctor, Byeong-gi (Yoo Sung-joo) is killed because he has an unfair advantage by working with the guards and learning the games ahead of time.
