Still not over Squid Game 3's most painful death? More K-Dramas with sad character endings you need to watch
Squid Game has come to an end with season 3, and a lot more deaths have left people numb this season. The final death, in particular, is one they did not wish for nor did they see it coming. Among the many sacrifices, this death is sure to haunt fans of the series for a long time to come. Although the death hit the hardest in Squid Game, there are a lot more deaths that hit the hardest in K-Dramas itself. Right from Goblin to Hwarang, there were sacrifices that felt too painful to handle. These sad character endings remain in our head, rent-free. A still from Squid Game Season 3 From Goblin to Hwarang, find all the latest OTT releases on OTTplay Premium When people say Goblin is the G.O.A.T of K-Dramas, they were not kidding. The series has everything that a K-Drama essentially is, including the biggest K-trauma of all time aka a painful death. Ji Eun-tak, who spent her whole life being spared only to see ghosts ask her for a favour because she is Goblin's wife, already lead a tough life. And then, when she had it all, Eun-tak learned that her life was coming to an end. She had to break free from the circle and be reborn to eventually marry Kim Shin aka the Goblin. Her death and the waiting period were the toughest on both Goblin as well as the viewers who were invested in their cute love story. Kim Mi-young's baby in You Are My Destiny Squid Game 3's story of the baby is probably inspired from You Are My Destiny, only this time, the baby dies. Kim Mi-young wants to save her baby but either only her or the baby can survive. Although she wants to save the baby over herself, Mi-young's selfish ex Gun saves her and lets the baby die. The news of losing her baby was already hard on Mi-young and Gun refuses her proposal to stay together either. This makes it a sadder moment. Han Sung in Hwarang Playing an innocent character in his debut K-Drama, BTS' Kim Taehyung aka V decided to give everyone a traumatic ending to his character. He decided to stay loyal to Moo Myung and keep him away from all harm's way. Thus, when he learns the news of his grandfather trying to poison and kill Moo Myung during a sword fight, Han Sung swoops in and dies instead. The unexpected death hit hard, especially because it was V's acting debut with Hwarang. He has not worked in another K-Drama since. 365: Repeat The Year being Squid Game recap, Hyeon-ju getting the harshest treatment of all 365: Repeat The Year has a concept similar to Squid Game. Many characters experience painful deaths, which is also a concept common with Squid Game. However, if like Gi-hun this season, we had to pick a death that hit the hardest, it would be Hyeon-ju. He had to die along with Ga-hyun every single time, and wake up with no recollection of the gruesome death, only to be faced with the cruel destiny once in every 365 days. Every single year, they would die only to wake up with no recollection of what happened and live life again while waiting for the day of their painful deaths, The Final Destination style. By the time of the series finale, the real murderer even framed Hyeon-ju for all the murders and finally confessed to his crime of resetting the timelines 'just for fun' with a wide smile. All of Do Hyun-soo's victims in Flower of Evil A past experience and near-death experience pushes Do Hyun-soo to explore what painful death would be like. Thus, he releases hell upon his victims while pretending to live as Baek Hee-sung. Hyun-soo's own mother explored the idea of painful death before dying in the same manner. Now, Hyun-soo has a silver box stored somewhere which hides the fingernails of his victims so far.

Jun Ho's Investigation Ends in Ashes What Happened to the VIPs? Cate Blanchett's Shocking Cameo Is a Squid Game Spin-Off on the Horizon? Here's What We Know The third and final season of Squid Game premiered on June 27, drawing the curtains on one of Netflix 's most talked-about shows. Led by powerhouse actors Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun , the Korean psychological thriller appears to have concluded its main narrative, though whispers of a spin-off, particularly an American version, linger. Directed once again by Hwang Dong Hyuk , the final installment has stirred polarizing some admired the bold storytelling, many long-time fans expressed disappointment over unresolved arcs and a finale that seemingly unraveled Gi Hun's hard-fought journey. The show remained consistent in its grim message—humanity's moral decay when placed under pressure—though victory came with little emotional some holding onto faint theories about Gi Hun's possible survival, the story made it clear—his chapter has ended. His emotional arc concluded with a tragic sacrifice as he chose death rather than taking an innocent life. His final stand was aimed at confronting the system—he died on his own terms, declaring that humans are not commodities. Although Gi Hun's death feels final, it's also a catalyst, likely igniting the next chapter in a tangled and dark universe. His moral stand may be the spark that lights new final scenes showed In Ho—known as the Front Man—triggering the island's destruction before fleeing with Jun Hee's infant. Months later, he resurfaces in Los Angeles and is seen near Gi Hun's family. While Jun Ho's mission to stop him failed, In Ho remains a looming threat. His journey is far from over. Hints suggest that his next plan may be connected to expanding the deadly games on a global level, a storyline likely to unfold in future the episodes, subtle hints suggested deeper layers of the story. Latin inscriptions like 'hodie mihi, cras tibi' (today me, tomorrow you) reminded viewers that danger looms for all. Cryptic Korean phrases like 'Beware of people, idiot' pointed to betrayals. The chillingly ironic 'safety first' written in the final round added bitter irony. Player 456's timer pausing at 4:56 moments before elimination and a mysterious binder skipping players all hinted that more is yet to be Oh Il Nam gone and In Ho escaping, leadership of the game seems to be changing hands. A mysterious woman—portrayed by Cate Blanchett—makes her debut at the end, recruiting players in the U.S. through the familiar Ddakji game. This shadowy figure hints at a new organization operating from another part of the world. The Korean branch may be closed, but the global operation appears far from years of chasing shadows, Detective Jun Ho finally uncovered the truth and identified key figures. However, before he could take meaningful action, the Front Man ordered the island's destruction. Though Jun Ho and Na Eul escaped, they couldn't prevent the erasure of evidence. Yet, Na Eul may have discovered a lead strong enough to change everything—perhaps forming the heart of a future elite gamblers who watched the carnage unfold seem to have walked away untouched. As the world crumbled, they remained unfazed, sipping luxury drinks. Their disappearance suggests they're still protected—highlighting the seemingly untouchable nature of this elite class, shielded by their wealth and most searched aspect of Season 3 is Cate Blanchett's surprise role. Her appearance in the final scene—slapping down a Ddakji card in LA—suggests she's the next recruiter and that the Game now spans borders. This cryptic moment sets the stage for an American a strong likelihood that the Squid Game universe will expand with a spin-off, and all signs point in that direction. The final moments of Season 3 dropped a major clue—Cate Blanchett appeared in a surprise role, portraying a new recruiter involved in the sinister games. Her brief but impactful presence hinted that the deadly operation may now move from South Korea to the United States, setting the stage for a fresh chapter of horror and psychological warfare in a new geographical and cultural speculation gains further weight from earlier remarks made by actor Lee Byung Hun, who plays the enigmatic and chilling Front Man. During a previous appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Lee suggested that a new series centered around his character could be in the works. He didn't reveal much but hinted that there's more to explore in the Front Man's dark and mysterious these breadcrumbs in place, it appears the future of Squid Game could follow one of two exciting directions: either we delve deeper into the complex life of the Front Man and the evolution of his role within the organization, or the narrative picks up in a different part of the world, likely the U.S., where the games could continue under new leadership, with Lee Byung Hun possibly reprising his role in a global expansion of the franchise.
