Fans are apparently dissatisfied with reports that Netflix may be planning a remake of the popular Korean show Squid Game in the United States.
Here's all you need to know about it.
On Friday, several credible media outlets reported that Netflix is planning to adapt the popular 2021 show Squid Game in the United States.
According to rumors, the filming for the show will begin in the second half of this year.
The Hot Mic podcast, hosted by Jeff Sneider, will reportedly be led by David Fincher.
Fincher has previously served as a director in several critically acclaimed films, including Fight Club, Gone Girl, and Zodiac.
Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game was created as a survival game.
It consists of 456 competitors coming together to win the ultimate cash prize of $35 million or 45.6 billion.
Despite this, the drama became a worldwide sensation as it addressed pressing issues such as capitalism, income inequality, and other issues.
Besides that, it isn't the first time that reports have suggested an American remake of a Korean series.
Crash Landing On You and Extraordinary Attorney Woo were previously discussed in the United States.
Fans of Squid Game are apparently dissatisfied with the idea of a remake of the program in the United States.
Moreover, some fans feel it unnecessary since they have already seen and loved the original Korean version of the show.
Regardless, others believe that the American version will not be able to recreate the original's essence.
'The American version of Squid Game will be worse than the South Korean version,' one fan wrote. 'Much, much worse.'
'My question is why would anyone attempt to recreate a Squid Game in the United States when you already have the original,' said another participant.
One user responded, "We're already living in a Squid Game that is not available on television?"
'Hey @netflix, we do not want a #SquidGame "American" version. We are waiting for Season 2, unless Season 2 takes place in the United States.'
