In the second season, we will meet many new characters, each bringing their own unique story, making us worry about their fate. But first, let’s take a look at the ones we already know.

No Eul, a North Korean refugee, works in an amusement park, but behind the bright decor hides a dark story. She lost her daughter while fleeing North Korea and is having trouble finding her. Desperate and in need of money, No Eul makes an unexpected decision: she becomes one of the game’s guardians.

Myung Gi, aka Player 333, was once a successful crypto influencer. His charisma and promises of easy money attracted many people, until the sudden collapse of the cryptocurrency left all his supporters penniless. He is now fleeing his former victims, some of whom are also involved.

Once back in the game, Gi Hoon is surprised to discover that his longtime friend and former colleague Joon Bae is among the new participants. It is revealed that they were playing together at the racetrack and that Zhong Bae had previously refused Gi Hoon’s loan request before participating in the games.

Kim Joong Hee (player 222), pregnant, enters the game to ensure a future for her child. She is quiet and reserved, but her determination and resilience are fascinating. Joong Hee’s story is a tragedy of lost hope and desperate struggle for survival.

Purple-haired rapper Choi Soo Bong, known as Thanos (player 230), was once a shining star in the Korean music scene. However, his career collapsed after losing everything in the cryptocurrency crash. Thanos is an eccentric and angry character who hides pills in his pendant and acts impulsively.

She found herself in gambling due to rejection from her family and society. Despite the harsh conditions and incredible dangers of the game, Hyun Joo remains strong and confident in her goal.

Im Jung Dae (player 100) is the member with the most debt, amounting to 10 billion won. Proud and unyielding, he is willing to do anything to win, even if it means breaking his moral standards. John Dae represents the extremes of human greed and desperation.

Kyung Seok (player 246), an amusement park designer, finds himself in the game with one goal: to pay for treatment for his daughter, who is battling cancer. Her motivation touches the heart and meeting No Eul, who works as a security guard, adds drama to their relationship.

Hye Won (player 196) is a young woman in debt destined to attract the attention of the eccentric Thanos. His presence in the game remains mysterious, but his interactions with Thanos add a special dynamic to their story, where eccentricity collides with alienation.

Song Nyeo (player 044) is a colorful character with heavy makeup and a mystical view of what is happening. She claims to know the fate of the players and predict the future. Her mysterious words and behavior build tension and suspense, leaving viewers wondering: Does she really have the gift, or is it just a ploy to survive?

The new season impresses not only with its entertainment, but also with its depth. The games have become even bloodier and the characters have become more complex. The makers continue to explore social issues and turn them into an action-packed thriller. For example, through the story of Kyung Seok (player 246), who takes extreme measures to save his sick daughter.

The third (and final) season of the drama will be released very soon. Director Hwang Dong Hyuk assured that Song Ki Hoon’s story would have a logical ending “at a high level.”
