So is the hype around Squid Game worth your time?

 So is the hype around the new Netflix drama 'Squid Game' worth watching?

Well Squid Game is a new Netflix korean drama which has the taken the entertainment world by storm because of its very unique story line and theme and the way the set has been designed is amazing. 



So is the hype overrated or the series is actually worth all the hype? 

So when i first watch the trailer, i got very excited for what the entire series has to offer. As soon as the series was released, I binged watch the entire series and all i was is WOW!!!!. The story lineup was so amazing and the way they have kept their flow throughout 9 episodes was just wow to watch. With every episode, the excitement to know what's gonna happen, the suspense, what would be the next game just keeps on increasing and with every game being different, the set designed for it would leave you awestruck. 

So what's exactly the storyline?

So it tells about a group of 456 people from Korea who have huge debts and are given a chance to repay it all and not just repay but a chance to win 45.6 billion won (Rs. 285 crore) if they win all the 6 games, a mysterious survival games. Well it sounds good so what's the catch? So in order to go to the next game, obviously you must not get eliminated but people who are unable to complete the game within the given time or they dont follow the rules of the game and don't play it properly, they are eliminated and by eliminated i mean , ELIMINATED FROM LIFE. In simple, they are shot dead or die while playing the game. Sounds Horrific? Well it is. While it sounds horrific, this show teaches us a lot of things and its all about surviving whether its the game or the real life. The show has a lot of emotional scenes and some parts are just so emotional that you'll feel heartbroken, betrayed and you might cry too. 

So answering the question, Squid Game is worth all the hype and your time too. It has a very new type of storyline and not a single scene is boring because all the time, its about surviving and that makes every scene so interesting and suspenseful.

The Fame Game - review

We're all so well versed with this famous line, "Don't judge a book by its cover." This a very famous line that can be related to many things apart from books. For eg, a person, food, and a life of a famous person. That is what The Fame Game, an original Netflix series,  is all about. We all think about how lavishing the life of our favorite stars must be. So much fame, love, money, and luxury lifestyle. We think about having it as well. But have you ever met them in person or lived with them or known their life personally? No, right. Whatever we see is on-screen. Whatever we are seeing is what our favorite stars want us to see. You must have come across this line so much, "Don't believe everything that is there on social media." Some people do it to show off, while some people hide whatever is going on with them in their personal life and choose to act as if they are the happiest people in the world. The Fame Game is exactly that. Everyone has their own
