12 Extreme Rules The Squid Game Cast Had To Follow

The Squid Game cast may be incredibly famous, but they definitely earned it - not only with their incredible performances, but with the amount of rules they had to follow and work they had to do to be part of this special show.
Working on the most successful show ever on Netflix was definitely exciting and we’d think the actors would want to talk about all the cool stuff they got to do - but that was a major no no, the actors couldn’t even do any interviews with press unless it was okay with the production. The actors also had to commit to staying in shape - if they didn’t, they could risk not being able to carry out the highly physical scenes and since the actors didn’t have stunt doubles, this was a serious issue. One actor had to stay in shape AND gain nearly forty pounds! While it helped the show, the actor still suffered quite a bit physically because of the intense demands. Working on a project this ambitious takes a lot of time and concentration - but that didn’t stop one actor from taking on a major role while still writing his university thesis! That actor was allowed to do both, but he had to rise to the occasion and commit all his energy to the show when he was needed.
One actor couldn’t speak with their normal accent - they had to spend time training with an accent coach in order to sound how they needed to for the show. It may not have been easy, but committing to all these rules was a major contributor to making the show as amazing as it is!

I didn't hate him, I hated Sang-Woo. Deok Su was just a typical "I"m the alpha here" guy, but Sang-Woo was calculated, manipulative & evil. SPOILERS(I elaborate, why I hate Sang-Woo): He's probably more complex, but at the begining, he seemed nice to Ali & Gi-Hun, but at the Honeycomb game, he lost my liking for him & at Marbles, I started to hate him. Before Squid Game, I was completely dispised him & basically prayed for Gi.Hun to kill him. It didn't happen & his suicide didn't make me feel pity for him one bit.

i hope the actor playing deok-su is doing ok now and is getting back on track the amount of strain he had to put his body through and how badly it was affecting him sounds awful and very dangerous

[@lvmln7843]

yeah honestly people treat it like some impressive show of heroism but i think that it's just too much. no show is worth losing health, throwing up and exhaustion. To me it's not heroic, it's just badly planned. If your production requires actors to be exhausted, have short breaks and work ungodly hours, you're just bad at planning. It's just a show, it's better to sacrifice a few "wow" effects if it means actors won't have to get sick and strain their bodies

[@Calbreadd]

@@lvmln7843 couldn't have said it better myself i'm sure the actors were fine and in good hands in terms of the stunts they had to pull like tug of war for example, but their health definitely didn't feel like a concern to the production crew as much as it should have been

Please acknowledge them because I’m sure “the actor that plays Deoksu” (Heo Sungtae) and “the Saebyeok actress” (Jung Hoyeon) worked hard to have their names credited too!

I get the feeling they intentionally avoided saying their names because they were worried about mispronouncing them.

@@i.dle.k Tom Cruise? Yeah I think he's weird. He's in that bizarre Scientology cult & has some really off the wall beliefs & is against using medicine for mental illness, don't believe postpartum depression is real, etc. They see mental illness as a character flaw & a weekness that you can just think yourself out of.

Everyone did amazing. Their hard-work payed off and became one of the best shows on netflix (as I've been told that), can’t wait for season 2! 💗

[@broniesr20percentcooler]

wow, I’m so glad the hard work paid off for the actors. We need a season two!!

[@mirandapoh9198]

The filming of the Squid Game feels like a the Squid Game itself… So much respect for the actors!

[@surimisubs]

The entire production has my all my respect. They all did a great job and worked very hard. And the entire series is just a whole masterpiece. ✨

I really hope people didn't give Heo Sung-tae (Deok su's actor) any hate because of his character! He went through so much and worked so hard! Truly amazing work

[@timothyleal6032]

I am an aspiring actor who works 15 hour days and come home every night exhausted while still having school and a side job and I have the most respect for these people out of anyone I’ve ever known, they triple my work and far surpass me in skill and I hope to one day hold even a candle to their brilliance!

[@SarahSiyad]

i love how the casting director was so inclusive for such a big series!! casting an acting student is such a big risk to take but anupam touched so many of us with his portrayal of the character ali. and hoyeon had no acting experience in the past and to make her such a vital character must have been a sure risk to take. love this show, how inclusive and how real it is

[@nnindo269]

They did an awesome job tho because Squid Game is really popular now!

[@cntrldfision5746]

a lot of the stuff like the shooting schedule is normal in South Korea though, up until Covid, most dramas are shot with only a 2-4 week buffer for episodes, only in the last couple of years have they started recording whole dramas before release and thats only certain production companies

The making of Squid Game was itself a Squid Game.

[@comicstripvo6654]

All I'm hearing is confirmation that Netflix prioritizes money over the health and safety of their cast and crew. As per usual. Can confirm. IATSE in Canada, let's make sure we get this new media stuff worked out. We're being abused more and more with long days on set every day.

The fact that there's no ridiculously obvious stunt double shots is amazing. Insane. You don't see that in America. They won't let an actor jump off a damn chair half the time. And wow, a Pakistani expat living in Korea, speaks the language fluently and also speaks perfect English. Holy hell, that dude has put in some work. Born and raised Americans I live next to know less fluent English than he does.
