The “game in the squid” is not only familiar with its cruelty, but also for how the rules are carefully built in it – logic, structure, moral dilemmas.
That is why the fact that fans saw in the final of the third season caused such a violent reaction: one moment literally destroys the whole idea.
We are talking about the scene in which the host (aka in-ho) grants Khuna knife and actually pushes him to the murder of other participants say: “Do when I, win and live.” The problem is that according to the rules of the game at that time it was already forbidden. After the death of the player 222 and the appearance of the baby who took his place, the organizers officially announced: Violence outside the phases is forbidden. It was thanks to this new norm of the baby that nobody touched. The same standard should logically protect Ki Hong.
And now attention: the presenter, who knows the rules perfectly, offers to break them – and this does not comment. If Ki Hong really started to kill, he would either be disqualified, or the guards just shot him down. But this doesn’t happen. The rules seem to cease to exist – exactly when the entire meaning of the final depends on them.
As a result, the public remained with questions:
- Why introduce a ban on violence outside the stages, if they suddenly ‘forget’ him in Climax?
- Why does the presenter himself cause a violation of the rules?
- Violation of the rules is a disqualification or just another fall?
This can be scenario, this can be explained: they say, the authors wanted Ki Hong to choose the principles, sacrificed themselves and therefore completed the arch. But when you have to ignore the rules in the series itself for this interest, the structure breaks. And with her the trust of the viewer.
