   🧩 Story Summary (Spoilers ahead)

 Episode 1: Red Light, Green Light

We meet Seong Gi-hun, a divorced chauffeur with a gambling problem. Deep in debt, he receives a strange offer to play a game for a chance to win money. He and 455 others are taken to a secret location where the first game — Red Light, Green Light — turns deadly. Over half the players are brutally eliminated when they fail to follow the rules.

 Episode 2: Hell

The survivors vote to end the game, but many, including Gi-hun, choose to return due to their miserable lives. This episode gives a deeper look into the contestants’ backgrounds and personal struggles.

 Episode 3: The Man with the Umbrella

Back in the game, contestants play Sugar Honeycombs (Dalgona Candy challenge). Gi-hun narrowly survives. Tensions rise as alliances start forming. We meet key characters:

  • Cho Sang-woo, Gi-hun’s childhood friend, intelligent but corrupt.

  • Kang Sae-byeok, a North Korean defector.

  • Abdul Ali, a kind migrant worker.

  • Jang Deok-su, a violent gangster.

 Episode 4: Stick to the Team

Players team up for a brutal game of Tug-of-War. With smart tactics, Gi-hun’s team beats a stronger opposing team and survives.

 Episode 5: A Fair World

The aftermath of Tug-of-War leaves players shaken. Nighttime turns deadly as players attack each other in fear of eliminations. Meanwhile, a police officer named Hwang Jun-ho infiltrates the game facility in search of his missing brother.

 Episode 6: Gganbu

A devastating emotional episode. Contestants are told to pair up, only to discover they must play Marbles against their partner — and only one can survive. Ali is betrayed by Sang-woo. Sae-byeok wins. Gi-hun manipulates an old man, Oh Il-nam, to survive.

 Episode 7: VIPs

Masked VIPs (rich elites) watch the next game, Glass Stepping Stones, where players jump across panels — one strong, one fragile. Many fall to their deaths. Sae-byeok is injured, and only Gi-hun, Sang-woo, and Sae-byeok survive.

 Episode 8: Front Man

With only three players left, tension escalates. During dinner, Sang-woo kills Sae-byeok in cold blood. Gi-hun is horrified but prepares for the final showdown.

 Episode 9: One Lucky Day

The final game is the deadly Squid Game. Gi-hun defeats Sang-woo but refuses to kill him, offering to quit the game together. Sang-woo, overwhelmed by guilt, takes his own life. Gi-hun wins the prize.

Later, Gi-hun finds out the game’s mastermind was Oh Il-nam, the old man he befriended — who joined the game out of boredom and to feel alive. Il-nam dies shortly after revealing the truth.
