The series has the perfect recipe to capture widespread audiences, a little bit of horror, gore, social commentary and young talent – no wonder it's a success!

Audiences have been binging the show in record time as they follow the students' journey as they attempt to escape the virus whilst they're stuck in their school.

Squid Game fanatics may recognise one of the characters as Lee Yoo-mi stuns in another thrilling role – she portrayed Ji-yeong (number 240) in the Hunger Games-esque thriller, and Lee Na-yeon in the newest Korean drama to hit Netflix.

Director Lee Jae-kyoo spoke to Tatler about the talented young cast of the hit thriller, he said: "In the end, I really picked the cast who are similar to their characters in real life, especially if they were particularly emotional in their own ways which I thought was also a plus point."

As the dystopian show rises in popularity, many fans have taken to social media to predict that it could go on to be one of the biggest shows of the year.

Not only has the series been compared to the notorious Squid Game but other popular Korean shows such as Alice in Borderland and Sweet Home – both of which are streaming on Netflix.
