and they ate food from a stall the kid saw the
cuts on her father’s face but he told her not to
worry these are just mosquito bites he then hands
her the gift without even knowing what’s inside it
she was surprised when she opened it it was a
gun-shaped lighter seeing this gi-hun takes the
gift back and promised that he would get a better
gift next time after that he brings his daughter
to her mother and returns home later that night
when he was at the railway station a well-dressed
man came and sat next to him he invites gi-hun
to play a ddakji which was a popular game played

should flip a card by hitting it with another
initially gi-hun ignored him but when the man
said he would give hundred thousand won if he
wins gi-hun was ready to play but if gi-hun loses
he will have to give hundred thousand back since
he didn’t have any money the man said that instead
of giving money he would slap on his face this was
not a big deal for him so gi-hun accepts the offer

game has started number two the player who refused
to play the game will be eliminated number three

everyone signs on it and gets ready to play
the first game outside the room there is a
maze-like hallway the contestants are made to
take their pictures and then they are taken
to the field where the game was played and the
field had a giant doll at the end then comes an
announcement for the players to stay behind the
white line the first game they will be playing
is the red light blue light they have five minutes
to complete the game when the doll says red light
all of them have to freeze and they can
only move forward when it says green light
if anyone is caught moving they will be eliminated
so the game begins and everyone starts playing
when the doll detected the motion of one man he is
eliminated and shot dead at the very next moment
after seeing this the players realized that the
people who get eliminated are directly killed now
they didn’t know what to do so everyone starts
to run for their life but the game was still on
the doll shot all the players who keep moving
and hence it turned out to be a bloodbath

contestants who didn’t move was alive
so they took it seriously and started to play
the game and moved forward without getting
killed while playing gi-hun almost falls down
once but the man behind him named ali saved him
more people dies as the game continues and in
the end some of them manages to pass the game
