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

and he won’t be able to see her again gi-hun
is shocked but he cannot do anything since his
ex-wife has the custody of his daughter because of
his financial problems gi-hun had no other choice
so he calls the number the man gave him
they asked him to wait at a place nearby
after sometimes a car comes in front of him
the driver was having a mask on his face
he asked him to get inside as soon as he steps in
a gas spreads inside the vehicle that knocks him
out the next morning when he wakes up gi-hun was
lying in a bed wearing a tracksuit with several
other people around him everyone in the room is
being moniterized through cameras and then comes

this thing every staffs at the place wears a mask
and there are hundreds of them working there each
players in the room had different numbers on them
goon meets an old guy who has the number 1 and
goon had the number 456 on him which means he is
the last player among all of the players the old
man says that he is suffering from brain tumor
and he doesn’t have much time left meanwhile
there is a fight happening in the room the girl
who has stolen gi-hun’s money the previous day
was fighting with a gangster whom she knew before
coming there seeing this gi-hun pushes the man and
threatens her to give his money back then a bunch
of guys dressed in red suits and masks enters
the room there welcomes all the participants
gathered there and announces that all the
participants must play 6 different games in 6 days
those who win all 6 games will win a huge prize
money but the prize money is not revealed yet it

of the participants there was sang-woo who was
ji-hun’s childhood friend he was the son of that
old lady shown previously gi-hun thought that he
was working for a multinational company in u.s but
it turned out that he owes a client 6 billion won
and he is now wanted by the police each one in

and have millions of debts they all came there the
same way as gi-hun did after sometimes a huge ball
is brought to the ceiling of the room the staff
said that it would be filled with money after
each round and the winner could take them all back
to home so all the players agrees to play the game
before playing they are made to sign an agreement
there are only three rules rule number one the
players are not allowed to stop playing once the
game has started number two the player who refused
to play the game will be eliminated number three
the game will be terminated if the majority agrees
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
almost half of them died only a very few
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
and the rest of the players who couldn’t complete
the game was shot at the end of the series we
