Season 3 of 'The Squid Game' Is Here, But One Mistake from Season 2 Is Haunting Fans: Will It Be Fixed?
We are talking about the storyline.
The premiere of the third season of The Squid Game is here — Netflix is releasing the final episodes on June 27. And while some viewers are wondering who will die and who will win, others are hoping for something else. They want the show to finally fix the biggest mistake of the second season — the storyline of Park Min-soo.
This character, played by David Lee, initially seemed like a modest and cautious ally. He did not seek violence, did not strive for the center of attention — and that is why he quickly won the sympathy of viewers. But the finale of the second season put everything in a different light.
Min-soo betrays Se-mi, the very contestant who repeatedly extended a helping hand to him. He uses her trust to survive, and then silently watches as Nam-gyu attacks her. His attempt to distract the attacker was belated and powerless — and in the eyes of the audience, he became a traitor.
The one who inspired sympathy turned into one of the most disappointing characters of the second season. But there is a third one ahead. The last one. And that means there is a chance, albeit the last one, to fix everything.
A chance at redemption is not just a plot device. It is a way to show the growth of the hero. Min-soo can save another participant, confront Nam-gyu himself, do something not for the sake of survival, but for the sake of conscience. Even self-sacrifice would be an honest end to his arc. The main thing is that it is real — without cunning, without fear, without self-interest.
The Squid Game has always been about people who were pushed to the limit. And if the show wants to remain great, it must be able to not only kill, but also forgive. All that remains is to wait for tomorrow.
