Almost everyone has heard of “Squid Game” — it is one of the most popular series on Netflix. Fans watched it passionately, came up with various theories, and analyzed the frames pixel by pixel. However, even the most popular shows are not free from cinematic errors.
The players' numbers are confused
In the first game, 456 participants compete, and each is assigned a unique number. However, the problem is that in some scenes, the characters' numbers are the same, while in others, they change. The most striking example is player number 061. Initially, she was a woman, but when the list of those who left is shown, a man appears in her place.
A participant over 120 years old
Do you remember player number 017, who worked in a glass factory and could distinguish tempered glass? According to documents, he was born in 1897. If we believe this information, he would have been 124 years old at the time of participation. Of course, the scriptwriters simply made a mistake, and later Netflix corrected the birth year to 1987.
The changing shape of the umbrella
In the candy episode, participants choose one of four shapes: circle, triangle, star, or umbrella. However, upon closer inspection, in some frames, the shape of the umbrella on the wall changes, and its dome appears to be more bent.
Ki-hun pretends to "eat" an empty spoon
In the third episode, Ki-hun complains that his food has gone cold. However, he brings an empty spoon to his mouth, pretending to eat. Perhaps the actor did not account for the dubbing, and the editors left this shot in the final version.
Ki-hun's mysterious phone
In the finale, Ki-hun talks to his daughter using a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. However, at the airport, when making an important decision, a Samsung S3 is shown in his hand.
The policeman's phone doesn't lose power for a week
The policeman investigating the games, Hwan Jun-ho, always uses the same phone. He takes pictures, records videos, sends messages, but... never charges it. No matter how powerful the battery is, such a situation cannot occur.
The real phone number on the invitation
The card distributed by the recruiter actually contains a real phone number. After the series aired, the number's owner began receiving thousands of calls and messages. Netflix had to urgently change this number in subsequent episodes.
Kan Se Byok's North Korean pronunciation
If you knew Korean, you would notice that Kan Se Byok speaks with a South Korean accent. However, when she talks to her brother, she speaks like someone from North Korea. This subtle difference is not in vain: the girl tries to hide her origins to avoid discrimination.
