Like Parasite, Squid Game is an unpredictable parable that explores life under social inequality -and takes the characters' fights for survival to extreme heights. Further evidence? The Netflix global hit back in 2021 was a K-drama called Squid Game. While the South Korean television and film industry has been around for over half a century, the last two decades in particular mark a rise in global recognition of the incredible body of work-culminating in a historic win for Parasite at the 2020 Academy Awards and South Korean actress Yuh-Jung Youn's win for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Minariat the 2021 Academy Awards.
